We Are The Fighting Irish
November 21st, 2007
Tonight, I realized that I hadn’t watched a couple of the “What would you fight for?” videos. Yeah, I make the spaces that the videos play in but sometimes I’m too busy to watch them. I went back and watched the two that I had missed and just like all the rest, I was pumped up at the end. Yes, I work for ND and yes, I’m a huge ND fan but these commercials are great.
Some people might be surprised by this but my favorite part of the new nd.edu isn’t the unobtrusive JavaScript or XHTML Strict doctype. It is the content. Not the text necessarily, but the videos. I have learned more about the University and the really cool things that are happening here in the last 3 months than my first 2 years. Whether or not you like the University of Notre Dame, you should go to the “What would you fight for?” archive and watch them. There are 7 and they are each 2 minutes long. It’s really cool stuff.
I like that the place I work for is a part of the things mentioned in these commercials and that I get to help share the message.

Hey, I love those commercials, too. Have you seen the 30 second commercial that summarizes all of them? I think each student in those 7 commercials comes out saying what they would fight for, and it ends with the line “We are the fighting Irish.” I saw it once during halftime, but haven’t been able to find it online.
@Matt - I haven’t seen that one. Sounds sweet. I’ll ask around. Our group was responsible for them so I’m sure someone has it.
Ever findout about that commercial?
@Matt - No one I’ve talked to has seen that or knows where it is.
