A man posted on the Internet a video showing how he sneaked into Notre Dame Stadium before the Georgia Tech game by posing as a Roman Catholic priest, prompting the university to re-emphasize its security procedures. The six-minute video on the Web site YouTube showed the man posing by the team's signature yellow sign reading "Play Like a Champion Today," chatting with a television reporter and greeting the Fighting Irish as they ran onto the field to play Georgia Tech on Sept. 1. The video has since been removed. University spokesman Dennis Brown said ushers made "an honest mistake" in failing to check the man for credentials, likely fooled by the camera crew that apparently followed him into the stadium.

Well a fake team seems to have snuck on the field this season as well.

A sham priest and a sham football team with a sham head coach. I LOVE IT!

ND needed REAL 'divine intervention' during that game.

Apparently, all you have to do is dress like a Priest, and you can get away with anything.

He also was caught molesting a fake alter boy.

Too bad he couldn't also sneak in some fake ta-tas for some of the ND ladies. Take a gander at this sad flat-chested mess:

So many priests as N.D. they can't even keep track of who's real or not.

Now, if they could just get 22 football players to sneak in. Then, they might score more than 6 points per game. Touchdown Jesus has been replaced by Punting Elvis.

haha, that's awesome.

"how he sneaked into"

snuck may sound more american, but it sounds better than sneaked.

Wow, a fake priest, a fake fat genius football coach and a fake overrated team.

Hammered... that comment made me day.

Thank you.

September 13, 2007  03:55 PM ET

It was Bill Belichick. He was trying to steal their signals.

September 13, 2007  04:08 PM ET

Apparently, Hammered's comment was removed. It was still funny though.

September 13, 2007  04:47 PM ET

HALO 3 in 11 days!!

I think he snuck in to read them their last rites, because their season is on life support...and fading fast.
