Posted Monday September 15, 2008, About: Weis 'worked up' before game
"ND won because they did what they couldn't do last year...take advantage of the other teams mistakes."

Exactly, last year they would have gone back a few yards then missed the FG. This year, they took advantage of the mistakes against a solid UM D. That's probably the best D they'll face until USC. Add the emergence of Golden Tate and the O-line and this season has a lot of promise.

My concern is with MSU. They've been a problem for ND for a while. I think it's that they come after ND plays UM, so you have this huge emotional rush from playing your rival, and then it's hard to keep that going till next week.
Posted Sunday September 14, 2008, About: Weis to recruit after surgery
Dude tears his ACL and MCL without screaming bloody murder, he turns down painkillers, and spend the rest of the game coaching while on crutches in a downpour. Hell of a guy.

That was the best front seven ND will face until SC. They just passed a HUGE early test. Just re-watched the game this morning. They made the majority of their 2nd or 3rd and 1 attempts, something they couldn't do last year. They also played with serious emotion, another thing lacking from last year. All while hosting some of the top recruits in the country. Good stuff.

There are holes, no doubt, but as Weis said, the needle's pointing up.

Jesus, do Michigan fans even know their own history?

"To hell with Notre Dame" - Bo Schembechler

Weis was just riffing on an old classic in a room full of boosters. Coaches talk trash all the time in those things.

Oh, the humanity. Get a grip Skunkbears.

<i>Medical issues involving the Ravens' other quarterbacks - Troy Smith (tonsil infection) and Kyle Boller (shoulder) - vaulted Flacco from last in the quarterback race to the uncontested winner.</i>

CB Dollaway didn't get hurt, seeing as he pretty much tapped out just as the arm-bar was actually applied.

Maybe xomething motivational like they have at factories: "Tenn Vols have gone "X" days without a physical or sexual assault" signs on the locker room walls.
Posted Monday February 04, 2008, About: Weis demands commitment oaths
Sorry spenny, but Charlie is right on. ND has been burned by kids who don't know the meaning of the word "commitment". This is a policy every coach should employ. Take your time, take your trips, but when you're ready, that's it. Teams recruit based on needs, and when a player moves, it throws everything out of whack. By the time a player de-commits, there are fewer prospects on the board. These kids are 18 years old. They can vote, smoke, join the military, drive, and screw. They are also old enough to keep promises. Barring a change in coach, there is no excuse for not honoring their commitment. If you don't like Weis or ND, fine. But Weis' idea is a good one. Don't waste our time, don't try to stretch the process for your own personal fulfillment (Pryor, I'm looking in your direction).

Run away, kids!! Don't do it!! He'll sell you down the river in a heartbeat. He's more loyal to the ham sandwich that he just ate for lunch than any team he coaches.

Sexton, I love ND a lot, and the recruiting is far better than a 3-9 team deserves, but even I've learned to scale the braggadocio until we start winning again. Take it easy.

Wow, Truth and I agree on something. Look up folks, and check to see if Jesus is a comin'.

As an aside, that kid's mother deserves a medal. Must have been like popping a bowling ball through a garden hose.
Posted Thursday December 20, 2007, About: Recruit rethinking Notre Dame?
Bullday:

I wonder too and you're right, this is the year to find out. The schedule is much more favourable. Even the tough ones figure to be easier due to graduations (ie Mich and BC are both losing a lot of talent this year). Charlie has admitted mistakes like not going hard in fall camp (although that was due to being paper thin at certain positions), so I'm optimistic. Charlie has shown that he can admit mistakes and is looking to correct them, which is admirable in any coach, especially for one who is derided as "arrogant". I look at it this way: the team is still young, but we realistically have a shot at 7-5. Looking at the ND boards, that is what is necessary to keep CW on board. It shows both growth within the program and player development. If he falls short, he's gone, and the new coach comes in with a fully stocked cupboard. So I have a lot of optimism for the coming years.

Bullday:

He visited LSU, decided against it for whatever reason. IIRC, LSU is stacked at D-Line, so maybe he figured that he'd be playing sooner at ND.

Oh, and good points Ice Tree and Shynloco, they're working on that with this years class. I just hope they can get better O-line coaching. Lookig at the last three years recruits, they have all 4 and 5 *'s starting on the o-line. They just need someone to bring it all together.

3 days ago he was quoted as being solid for ND. This is just a rumor started by another team that wants his services

Can someone here make fun of his weight? I don't really think that angle has been appropriately covered yet.
Posted Sunday November 11, 2007, About: End near for Bruins coach
If there's one thing we learned from ND/Ty Willingham (or at least from the regular commenters on this site), is that firing a black coach makes you a racist. C'mon, UCLA, you're not racist, are you?
