More so than any I-A school you care to name, ND fans seem to feel a sense of entitlement about the national spotlight and contending for a title. Even Alabama and Florida State aren't as bad as ND in this respect.

Couldn't agree more.

I've always said I could respects what ND(the school) stands for and maybe even like them if it weren't for their damn fans and the media bias. When he was still sane I always thought the world of Lou Holtz. Now with jabba at the helm, there are no redeeming qualities

OK, what bugs me is that the media (and ND alums, fans, etc.) will even be thinking something's wrong if Weis is solid but not spectacular...Notre Dame could go 9-3...for two or three years and there would probably be rumblings that Weis isn't getting the job done. More so than any I-A school you care to name, ND fans seem to feel a sense of entitlement about the national spotlight and contending for a title.

:slappy: Voyd, is that you?

Go three losses at Ohio State a few years in a row and even Jim Tressel will get some rumblings too.

See.....I don't think he would though, unless all three years also included a loss to Michigan. I see Ohio State as being fairly easy on coaches. Even with Cooper, it took a TON of losing to Michigan to get him fired.

I don't know how the Columbus press goes, so, would they make a big deal? ESPN sure wouldn't bother.....but another year or two like this one at Notre Dame, and Weis will be on the very hot seat for sure.

Notre Dame, on the other hand, did beat Michigan in 2005, which is one of the schools on their "expect to beat" list. Sure, it was a down year for Michigan. But I'm sure you Buckeyes don't ignore it as a win just 'cause Michigan ended up with five losses. ND fans, and especially the media, do.

Rumblings and getting fired are two different things. Two years of three-loss seasons and Tressel will also hear rumblings.

I see NDC is not here to defend Weis, so let me jump in and play his role here a moment...I'll start by building my straw man argument on an unrelated topic...

HA! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT RUMBLING!

FAT IS GOOD. EVEN IF THE GOOD DIE YOUNG, WE ARE NOT AFRAID! OK, MAYBE IF HE IS RUMBLING AND WE ARE BEHIND HIM, BUT NOT OTHERWISE! HA! NOTRE DAME IS GOOD! HA! YOU ARE BAD! HA!

LOOK AT MY STRAWMAN. HE IS FAT. HE IS GOOD. HE HAS A FAN. HE HAS ASSISTANT COACH RINGS! HA!

HE HAS MAN BOOBS! YOUR COACH DOES NOT HAVE MAN BOOBS, OUR DOES! BIG MAN BOOBS. HA!

LOOK! LOOK! WE CAN TOUCH HIS MAN BOOBS! HE IS HAPPY! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT RUMBLINGS! HA!

You all may now resume the position, facing South Bend. We will now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

Something funny to think about:

Notre ame's shitty god-awful horrible defense propelled Troy Smith to win the Heisman, and might propel Jamarcus Russell to be the #1 pick in the draft.

Going on the NA fan train of thought which is Troy Smith sucks.....how pathetic of a defense do they have? If Troy Smith sucks and they made him a Heisman winner, and Jamarcus Russell is all of a sudden a #1 draft pick.......seriously. How bad are you?

"No soft verbals, no silent verbals, no quiet verbals, OK?" he said. "Either you're committed or you're not committed. … I think we have to define exactly what the rules are."

But Notre Dame took a shot from Benn in that regard. He told the Washington Post in a story published Wednesday that Irish assistant Peter Vaas, whom the school let go after the season, peppered him with text messages and phone calls after he had committed to Illinois.

Benn provided one such text message to the Post dated Dec. 17. It read: "FYI, ILL is telling Robert Hughes that they will build their offense around him. Didn't they tell you that? Coach Vaas."

Weis' reply?

"You ask me if coach Vaas sent him texts. Sure he sent him texts," he said. "You probably could go ask the kid if he committed to us beforehand too—see what he says to that one. It comes down to those silent verbals, all that other type of stuff.

"I don't think coach Vaas was trying to do anything unethical. … [Benn] should wish him well and not point a finger."
