I Have A Question That Has Been Bothering Me, Why Do Notre Dame Grads All Wear Class Rings?
So I meant to write this blog on Tuesday after the game but I totally forgot. Saw that dejected pale faced Notre Dame fan decked out in his SWEET class ring and I was reminded that every single Notre Dame grad wears their class ring and I’ve never got a reasonable explanation for it. Honestly, what the fuck is up with that? I mean I get having traditions and school pride, but there are a million school traditions I can think of that don’t involve wearing a class ring and looking like a total dick fucker wherever you go.
So what is it? Is it a self esteem thing? Is it a cool thing? Do people who went to Notre Dame think they look awesome wearing a class ring? I honestly can’t understand it. I know a ton of Chicago Stoolies went to ND, so explain it to me. Do you guys think you’re going to lose all your importance as a human being if you don’t have a ring on your finger? Do you realize that wearing a class ring, any class ring is the ultimate squid move? I just can’t understand it. I’m not even trying to hate, I just want a reasonable explanation. Someone normal tell me that they wear their class ring and don’t feel like a complete douchebag. I mean, I love my school too, but you couldn’t pay me all the money in the world to wear a class ring in an un-ironic fashion.
PS
I have a good friend who wears HIS DAD’S ND ring. Not even his. He didn’t even go to Notre Dame, went to Colorado and now wears his father’s class ring. And I would say its fucking insane but i feel like that’s the norm with Notre Dame people. Its like they’re living on a completely different planet than the rest of us.
In a related story, here’s a shot of Katherine Webb that I haven’t seen before where you can get a good idea of what’s going on under that shirt: http://imgur.com/a/5tENb#10
Domers will be the first ones to tell you where they went to school. They will volunteer the information even if you didnt ask anything close to that. Like, “What are you going to order for dinner?” “Well when I was a sophomore at Notre Dame I always got Cheeseburgers on Tuesday nights, so probably a cheeseburger.” The class ring is just the non-verbal way to let you know they are better than you.
My sister went to ND, and she doesn’t wear a class ring
Same reason BC grads all wear rings. So when you go on your job interview you flash it and the only idiot that will know what it is is another BC (or ND) alum. Like being in some top secret frat.
Because they’re Catholics and it’s not gay if you don’t bottom out to the last knuckle. ring=stop gap
hey 5 minute major. I’m a BC grad. Don’t know anybody who ordered the ring, let alone wears it. That is total horseshit.
Oh by the way Neil you have some of the most gay ass pictures hanging in your place it’s disgusting. 10 will get you a 100 that you’re wearing a DeVry ring right now.
^that’s because your sister’s a whore.
If you call yourself a domer then go play in traffic on Lake Shore
how do you even consider that guy your “good friend”?
All those cult like schools do it: BC, Texas A&M for example. Just shows how much of a tool you have to be to go to one of these schools
why? are you checking to see if dude’s are married before you offer them some man ass?
They are all delusional
RC Cola, did you ever apply for a job at a Boston financail services company or law firm? “Oh, I noticed your ring” “Ah yes, I’m a triple Eagle ….third generation actually.”
Over/under on how long they will be sent back into obscurity after Kelley bolts for Philly? 50 years? 500 years?
5MinuteMajor – I hear you. But there are not too many triple eagles left; most kids these days realize there are a ton of schools better than BC and decide to go where 75% of their high school isn’t..
I saw a grand total of 1 person wearing there class ring in Miami. You should probably just post about how ND won the tailgating but lost the game.

Not bad lasted for 10 hours at same tempo.
BC is for kids that want to go to an arts school but don’t have the balls to come out of the closet to their parents
I fucking hate BC, so many pussies and cunts on one campus. Snot nose little fuckers.
the only acceptable class ring is from west point or the naval academy. i got one from michigan, but don’t plan on wearing it till im 60
I got a class ring I wear sometimes, but it isn’t a gaudy jewel encrusted homo flashy traditional ring. It is more like a “signet” ring or a law school ring. Very plane chunk of gold w/ a flat face, so when I do wear it, it isn’t really making a statement so much as its just solid gold bling. Which is nice, cuz when people DO ask about it I can tell ‘em I went to a better school than ND or BC ahhaha
bostonworm- is your real name “neil” by any chance?
scurvy, right on.
Regardless of your opinion on class rings – did you see he’s raising money now for charity as the “Sad Irish Fan” Pretty cool campaign. And they’re giving away a souvenir koozie. http://www.indiegogo.com/sadirishfan/
I went to ND and I don’t know a single person who does this.
@bostonworm, I think I speak for barstool nation when I beg you to tell us where you went to school..
kramerica–yeah bro, everyone at BC and Texas A&M are all fags! Better to stay on the safe side and go to community college you fucking mouthbreathing virgin.
People can hate on BC all they want. But when people from BC graduate, they get jobs. That’s more then most of the douches in this comment section can say. What kind if asshole generalizes about an entire college campus of 9000 people?
current ND student, and honestly people do actually buy these. maybe i don’t get it because i’m not legacy or anything but i still think some of the lore around our whole school is pretty homosexual.
