The Pope is a Jesuit. If he were to watch an American football game (which he won't) it would be Boston College, not Notre Dame

Hopefully he will be busy watching the Syracuse game. We need a miracle.

There are a number of high schools named after popes, I'd guess he'd be watching those games.

Would hate for him to be disappointed when Northern Illinois comes to Boston and upsets those Jesuits.

And Notre Dame prefers its independence

The Pope would probably see it for the excess it is.

Well, we will see about that! :)

Over a school called "Mass"?

Are you trying to say that Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?

This whole thread is a bit silly, isn't it?
What ND fans expressed any wishes that the Pope have any connection to ND?

Fox Sports reported: Notre Dame is 4-0 all-time while the pope is in the United States with victories over Georgia Tech in 1979, Michigan and Michigan State in 1987 and Washington in 1995, all during visits by Pope John Paul II.

It is possible that he has never watched an American Football game. Now if we get a Pope O'shaughnessy, different story.
09-25-2015, 02:57 PM
I heard that the pope is a big Miami Canes fan :/

Is it safe to assume he's not an Arizona State or Duke fan?
