What Would Touchdown Jesus Do?

When the University of Connecticut kicked that game-winning field goal -- sending the University of Miami and Notre Dame to the Sun Bowl -- it was as if God (only one god) had blessed the Sun City. A football matchup for the ages that stood up to any of the BCS blockbusters. Wow, the Fighting Irish finally in the Sun Bowl, El Paso's baby.
 So, it was no surprise that the Cathedral High School Fighting Irish were gushing like a little girls. And in no time, the community was invited to the Cathedral Fighting Irish Sun Bowl Menudo Breakfast, the enchilada dinner, chicharrones and the tacos de nopal sale.
There was even a Mass celebrated at St. Patrick in honor of the game and El Paso's Irish fans. I remember seeing pictures of people sitting in the pews, rockin' the gear during Mass. Amen.
The high school is in the heart of El Paso, right there on old Stanton Street. It's celebrating its 85th anniversary this year and has some big plans, including an appearance by Henry Cisneros, who was mayor of San Antonio and a member of President Bill Clinton's cabinet. It's gonna be a party ($100 a plate).
And to top it off, the school will have to get a new mascot and logo. The University of Notre Dame has asked Cathedral High School to stop using its leprechaun logo and to stop calling themselves the Fighting Irish. Citing a trademark violation, La Cate,, is, well, shit out of luck. It's hard to believe, since both are Catholic schools. I'm sure they teach sharing and aren't they brothers? If you think about it, maybe Cathedral could have tweaked the logo just bit. ...

Above is the Notre Dame Fighting Irish logo, and below it is the Cathedral's.

 Pues, no wonder.
