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

I attended a welcoming reception for Notre Dame students and faculty. My friend, a Notre Dame professor, kept channeling them to me to "talk football". I kept on my best behavior because I have such respect for my friend, but geez that was fun.

Typical exchange: "So, prof says you're an Ohio State or Michigan fan or something, right? Same difference, I suppose." "Don't see that! Oh, I get you, both walk all over your team?"

The consensus by the way is that Notre Dame will have no more than three losses. It's possibly BCS bowl time again. :slappy:

A special thanks to Charlie Weis.

It's kind of a signal or a reminder, 'Look it, fellas. I've been there done that.' And I think that one more message you're trying to give them subliminally [is] you're trying to let them know, 'Come with us. Be a part of something special.

What human being, over the age of ten, says "look it"?

Are you kidding me? In my neighborhood "look it, fuckstick" was how you began a statement of fact or asked a rhetorical question.

For instance if one of my old buddies were talking to CW it would be:

"Look it, fuckstick...you don't have to eat the whole goddamn thing. Come up for air for christsakes."

or

"Look it fuckstick...you do know that entire tray of food you just inhaled wasn't an indifuckingvidual serving right?"

You hate Charlie Weis, but do you really know him?
Posted: June 24, 2008

He knows you're coming, and at this point the inevitable has happened. He's stuck with you. For two days, flying thousands of miles in a small private plane with all the comfort of a four-door sedan. The sportswriter vs. Charlie Weis. He'd rather take a sledgehammer to the knees than endure this torture.

"I know why you're here," he says.

The natural response: Why?

"To see if I'm human," he replies.

Here he is, everyone. Charlie Weis: the most hated man in college sports.

From his arrogance to his controversial hiring at Notre Dame, to a contract extension seven games into his first season, to a third season that was the most humiliating at Notre Dame in decades.

Charlie Weis doesn't do the media. Never has, maybe never will again. You see him on the dais in those staged news conferences with a pressed white shirt, blue and gold tie and ND logos adorning the background. It's questions and answers and X's and O's, and he -- like nearly every other coach in every other sport -- has complete control.

Now it's Charlie Weis unplugged on a two-day booster tour. He has nowhere to go and no public relations people. And no excuses.

It's raw, it's honest, it's compelling. And maybe, just maybe, Charlie Weis isn't the man you think he is. The father, the philanthropist, the friend. The guy from the Jersey Shore who married a Jersey girl and just happens to coach the highest-profile sports team in any league at any level.

"The biggest problem I have," Weis says, "is people who don't know me, who have never spoken to me, think I'm an asshole."

It would be nice if someone grew some balls in the NoD pantheon (fans or newspaper writers) and called him out when he says stupid shit.

Until that happens I have to doubt what you say...sorry.
