You are in a few years. Funny though, I thought you would leave AF off that list.

Why would I do that? The last several years of records for AFA are:

2001 6-6
2002 8-5
2003 7-5
2004 5-6
2005 4-7
2006 3-3 (just lost to 0-6 SDSU last week)

Not exactly earth-shattering considering they play in the MW. Just because we lost to them once in a bowl game 16 years ago (about the same time you last won one) doesn't mean they aren't a patsy now.

(The italics are direct quotes pulled from the transcript of Weis' news conference.)

"One of the teams [Tennessee] that jumped us had the same game that we had. They're down, they're playing at home and they win by a field goal. Another team [Florida] that jumped us wasn't even playing. They were at home eating cheeseburgers and they end up jumping us. That befuddles me."

Hey, care to know what befuddles me, Charlie? How the head coach of Notre Dame, a program which has consistently been overrated and ranked higher than it deserved to be for more than a decade -- and for most of the past century -- has the audacity to complain about polls. I mean ? wow! That more than befuddles me.

"We go into a game with 27 seconds to go, come from behind, win a thrilling game, and because we win a thrilling game, let's move us down because one team is not playing and the other team had the exact same game, exactly the same. Tell me how that works. Maybe I'm just stupid. Just tell me how that works. You're [a voter], tell me how that works."

Wow. Great reasoning there, Captain Logic. Yes, you were bumped down a few spots in the polls because you won in a "thrilling" fashion. Yep. That's how the voters decide things. "Hmm ? it seems Notre Dame won a thrilling game. Guess I'll have to drop them down in my rankings because I hate things that are thrilling." But, hey, I'll throw you a bone here, Logic Boy -- you'd be the unanimous No. 1 team in the country if there were a poll ranking the teams that play the most thrilling games. Many Notre Dame games are extremely thrilling because your team makes a habit out of playing down to its awful competition (oops ? there's that easy schedule thing cropping up again).
But, sorry, you asked that someone tell you how that works and I ignored your question and went off on a tangent.

Ohio State or Michigan would crush you.
I love how ESPiN has to point out that these are direct quotes, i wouldn't believe them otherwise:)

The translation for the text in bold: I'm a pussy, but now I'll answer you!!
what a douche.. the both of them

AF was the same team back then that they are now.

They are?

So they have the same players?

They have the same coaching STAFF?

They are in the same conference?

Really?

They are the same?

Could've fooled me.

The only consistent thing with Air Force is that Fisher DeBerry is still the coach.

Tell you what I like about the Gallo article, it's a sign of a rapidly changing media image for Weis. He'll have three losses this year. His offensive genius is being exposed for all to see. He is being outcoached by Tressel, Carroll, Carr...Carr?

He started the year with big expectations, a national championship on the horizon, the Heisman winner at quarterback. He'll finish in not much different circumstances than Ty Willingham at the same point in his career.

Pride goeth before a fall. The whinging about the team not being his guys, the tough schedule, etc. is all being exposed. And this will continue to explode because this man cannot control his ego. He has begun to plead for respect. A couple of good whuppings and this man will be exposed for every high school recruit to see in his full glory.

Thank goodness we have Jim Tressel.

Some of you really need to know what you are talking about....

I live 10 minutes form ND and no one is complaining about this years schedule or that these are not CW's players. Funny, you don't believe the media when it comes to dirt about OSU yet you believe everything bad about CW and ND.

So if you live 10 whole minutes outside of South Bend does that mean you pick your teeth with a Buck knife?

And you need reading comprehension lessons. Steve19 was talking about Weis' whining, not the media's...

Funny article essentially accusing Weis of fabricating NFL team interest to keep the ND backers and admin off his back.

Of course it's concocted...why else would he mention it himself if not to make everyone think how lucky they are to still have him? Look at the difference in the way Tressel has been handling the Browns questions...
