Charlie Weis (ex-Kansas HC, ex-Fla OC, Notre Dame legend, UnDecided Schematic Advantage)

[Dryden]

Could there be a more symbolic figurehead for ND and its fan base than Charlie Weis?

Fat, overrated, and arrogant with absolutely no recent production to back it up. Living off of reputation from the past that may or may not have been all that well deserved.

I bolded the teams/games they will be playing either a superior opponent or in a dangerous setting. Butch Davis will have UNC to the "dangerous" dept very soon. Ditto Dantonio and I don't think any comment needs to be made about ND playing at Washington.

Anyway, thats 7 games no better than a push for them to win, 5 shuld be easy wins and a TBD. Mind you its NC contender or bust in '08 for these guys and they think that schedule is easy. If you win 4 of the 7 your still a 3 loss team and borderline to not even make a BCS Bowl.

Good luck with that fellas. BTW, hows the 'ol 3-4 defense coming along? Ever wonder why no major college football team runs it as their base D? Or are we still clinging to the idea of CW's genius and ND schematic advantage in every game?

At this rate who won't have superior talent to Notre Dame?

Do you do impersonations at parties too, Dryden? I actually read the post and thought, wait a minute, is it that time already?

It's not natural for Dryden, though. He needed 4 orange creme margaritas before he could type that.

Anyone actually seen him around lately? If anyone wants to see some funny shit IM me and I'll copy and paste the back and forth we had via PM a while back. It isn't an act and he's not drunk, he really is that damn dumb.

Beat me to the orange creme margarita joke. Bastard.

 

[Steve19]

He really caught me. Dryden has had some really funny posts this year.

The Dash has received a few hundred loving, affectionate e-mails from Fighting Irish fans insisting that they knew this horrific season was coming, thanks to the lack of recruiting by Willingham during his final two years in South Bend. Well, sure -- now that you mention it, the preseason pessimism was rampant. Just look at this August post from The Rock Report, a Domer fan blog, which averaged out season predictions from more than 3,000 Notre Dame fans and concluded the Irish would go 8-4:

"For ND fans, if things were to break right, we're looking at a two loss season. If things were to break wrong, we're looking at a possible five loss season. Four losses looks likely from an ND fans(sic) point of view, but that's usually on the optimistic side."

If that doesn't sound like a communal acknowledgement of a terrible season to come, what does? Though The Dash doesn't see anything in there about: "If things break wrong, we're looking at no offensive touchdowns through three weeks and a potential 0-8 start."

Ouch

ND won't let Jones out of scholarship

SOUTH BEND – Demetrius Jones will have to pay his own way to Northern Illinois this year.
The former Notre Dame quarterback will not be released from his scholarship, the school decided Tuesday.
“We don’t believe that Demetrius’ departure was handled appropriately,” Notre Dame athletics director Kevin White said.

Demetrius has acknowledged that he should have handled his departure better.

But Jesus himself could not turn Notre Dame's sour grapes into wine.

What tools for handling the Jones situation that way

What tools for handling the Jones situation that way

It'll bite them in the ass later. Let the negative recruiting begin! Every single coach in the country is going to tell kids considering ND, "The coach is an ass who is more concerned with polishing his Super Bowl rings and asking what the next recruiting class will do for him than developing the kids in the program. He'll make promises that you'll start when he knows you'll never see the field, and he won't let you transfer out of there when you realize you've made a mistake."

 

[DaddyBigBucks]

...and unlike most negative recruiting, every syllable will be true and verifiable rather than patently false or at least speculative.

keep digging your grave, ntre ame.

the word is that players knew that jones was leaving and that they were behind his decision. if alienation of some on the squad is what is wanted, it's going about the right way. jones may not be the only player departing this season or next.

oh, how does this look to recruits? my guess is that it doesn't look all too good. come on down, floyd.

The athletic department's decision to not release Jones from his schollie, thereby making him pay his way at NIU makes a certain amount of sense if they too believe that others are considering abandoning this sinking ship.

It's still first-rate douchebaggery, but at least they have a motive beyond pettiness: Not a laudable motive, but a motive nonetheless.
