"I have nothing against the University of Notre Dame."
Hawaii’s head coach Greg McMackin needs to think before he speaks. During yesterday’s WAC media day, McMackin relayed a story about last year’s crushing defeat in the Hawaii Bowl at the hands of the Fighting Irish. During the pregame festivities, the Irish performed their traditional dance much to the delight of all the Notre Dame fans that traveled to the Island. The dance apparently wasn’t up to McMackin’s standards as he referred to it as the “little faggot dance.”
Afterwards, the coach apologized, “It ticks me off that I said that because Notre Dame played a great ball game. What I was trying to do was be funny, and I wasn’t funny, and it’s not funny. Even more, it isn’t funny to me. I was trying to make a joke. It was a bad choice of words. I really, really feel that.”
Notre Dame had no comment.
