Here's the way the quote came out....

“The old kind of quip is, Notre Dame loves two things: one is being Catholic, second is independence. Sometimes those things get in reverse order. Sometimes they like independence even more than being Catholic."

Silence in the room.

"That was a joke."

I don't think the ACC media knew how to react, until he told them. 😄 Something like that would never have come out of John Swofford's mouth. I think Phillips is comfortable with a joke like that because he's Catholic.

Wonder if the ACC gave OU and OkSt a group invite--would they accept it? ** -- Maroon Baboon 07/21/2021 11:41PM

That's another package deal that would be awful darn good for the ACC. -- 91HokieBob 07/21/2021 11:52PM
