Come on People
First and foremost I am an Irish fan. My dad and my uncles are Irish fans. My ancestors are from Ireland. My daughter graduated from Notre Dame, class of 2006. What is wrong with you people who do nothing but damage the football program with your crying and complaining. Where are you going to be next year and the year after when CW and this young team starts to pay back. We are having a tuff year and I do not like it but I know CW is going to turn it around and I am going to be there just like I have been this year rooting for my team, how sweet it is going to be. Go Charlie, Go Irish. I am an Irish fan.
2007 ND Fotball
When I was a kid in 1946 Johnny Lojack was my hero. So I've heard or seen a few ND games and players.
Soft.... a word I thought would never in my life be used to describe Notre Dame Football. CW should be ashamed of himself. After all the talk about a nasty team....my daughter has more nasty than this team.
I talked with a former player a few days ago and he said these guys are, and I quote, "a bunch of punks., my team would run them out of the stadium".
CW must turn his assistants loose. These guys must be sick. I ptomise you Haywood, Latina , and Brown are not happy campers. These guys have never coached a team that plays this soft.
I'm thinking CW's lack of experience playing football leaves him misunderstanding what the game is about. Football is not about out smarting somebody, it's about imposing your will on them. Football is not a contact sport it is a collision sport. You can't whip somebody's a$$ with words. Talking the talk is worthless if you can't walk the walk.
Somebody, please, point out one real hit our guys made this year. When have tou seen a guy come across the middle and get decked. What linemean has pancacked anybody, what RB has made yards after contact or blasted a DB insread of stepping pout of bounds. How many fights have rthere been at practice? How many times do coaches have to seoarate players during practice? These guys don't even know one another.
Maybe they need to go play soccer, where their mommies can come top the game and not be frightened.
I realize their are some tough kids on this team but they aren't showing it. They are being conditioned to be nice.
checkers vs chess
First off, soccer is a great game. So is basketball, and maybe hockey. (Eh, baseball)
Reading your post reminded me of Larry Johnson complaining that football was more like checkers than chess. I think we all agree that football more than all those other sports requires an attitude that hitting someone else is good (ok, maybe hockey too). Contact is the primary point of the game where it is secondary in the others.
Yeah, I don't see "the nasty" in the players this year either.

Sorry to say that having your son within five feet of you will hamper your coaching ability plain and simple. Notre Dame football is supposedly the premier venue in America and we have a home school workshop being conducted.
I have said for years that the team is a reflection of the student body and things have definitely changed. You played ball in a different era and my time at ND was spent in the late 70's with a brand of football second to none. Two of my best friends were first team players and they were just flat out nasty and tough guys who did not like losing. Good guys who just knew what it took to win and great to have with you when a scuffle broke out at the Library or Corby's(lol). I watch the old game films now as that is my best memory of the Irish. Funny now that I cannot recall one dynamite victory since 1993 Florida State.
Notre Dame should not be reduced to memories. Every crappy year it is one more season wasted in our lives. I am stuck watching the Irish because that it the only team I will ever love.Someone needs to right this ship and fast. A good coach makes bad teams better and good teams great. Weis has done neither and it could be he does not have what it takes to succeed at all skill levels of coaching. It is what it is and now it is the abysss.

The Coach Cream Puff
I'm not sure what motivates a supposed fan like the one who wrote the Coach Cream Puff piece, but his ridicule of Coach Weiss and his son is uncalled for. Losing doesn't have to mean losing our dignity, and this article crosses a line than ND fans should not tolerate. Charlie, win or lose, is still part of the ND family. Ridculing his appearance or that of his son is a cheap shot.
Agreed
See below...
Coach CreamPuff
Season has been a disaster from day one. Weis spent part of the summer blaming the medical world for his addiction to pepperoni pizza and ring dings and then tries to collect on it. He has a 40 million dollar contract compliments of Doctor(lol) White and the other idiots running the program into the ground. Team stinks, upperclassmen quit,and spme leave altogether.
Well business is business and that is how you approach it. White is toast,Affleck-Graves is sent back to South Africa, and a new regime comes in and opens the checkbook for Coach Stoops. Get rid of Chuck Lennon, the Green twirp in the little green suit and bring in some Oregon cheerleaders to lively up the walking dead that pass for fans these days.
Give Charlie and his slovenly young son a 22 million dollar buyout and they can live happily ever after playing X-Box on the 100 inch plasma with a big bowl of Cheetos and Baby Ruth bars(my personal favorite) at their disposal.
I have hit a new low but am many rungs higher on the ladder than Notre Dame football.
GO IRISH!!!
Keeping Our Standards High
I understand your frustration, Bosco, and we're all feeling pretty badly about the current state of our program...but no need to take personal shots at the people who are currently in charge of our troubled program. I get it, and I'm as sarcastic as the next guy, but I feel it's important that we continue to support the program, even if we don't support the results. As hard as that may sound, that is what family does, and that is what Notre Dame is about.
At its core, Notre Dame is much bigger than football, or even the men who are in charge of it. Further, it has a much richer history than a 1-9 season can erase, so as painful as it might be, let's all try to find a way to continue to support the squad. Ironically, if we jump ship and cut and run on the team, then we have in effect become that which we judge so harshly every Saturday afternoon.
Notre Dame is a special place with a rich history that goes well beyond that which we are experiencing...so let's hang tight, place our trust in the spirit of our University, and know that she will right herself one way or another.

ND Football
We need to win. I may be old because I listened to the 1945 ND vs Army (0_0) game, on short wave, and never gave up hope. Several times in November I ended up with stomach and rear admiral problems during final season games, between 1958 and the present, but the next years always corrected these.
Now days my family doesn't allow me to watch TV games because I'm bad luck to the Irish--I fooled them last year(got a hidden TV). CW has a problem this year, but don"t give up the faith--We will survive. Until Penn State fans in this area quit badgering me, I know we will win again and shortly.
Jason Kelly
SBT Jason Kelly story was great. But did he conclude that Weis and the Irish are definitely going their own ways at this time next year?
Wish I knew What the Interview Said
Wonder what Joe said about Jimmy. Wish I could hear. It's a pain in the butt to be deaf on the Internet now. This looks like it was a good interview.
