Ooops ND Priest Calls Jimmy the Pickle a Douchebag.
“I just don’t see how I’m a douchebag,” he said. “I’m totally cool is what I am, not a douchebag. I mean, have you seen my hair? Look how freaking awesome I look. I think what it is, to be honest, is jealousy. The pope is pissed he can’t wear his hear like this because of his pope hat, so he’s trying to say super cool people like me are douchebags.” Despite Clausen’s denial, Rev. Malloy says the young quarterback most definitely is a douchebag and that denial of self-douchiness is textbook douche behavior.
“As Jesus said: ‘He is with douchiness, knows not that he is so,’” said Rev. Malloy. “Or at least I think He did. I’m currently working on a new translation of the Holy Scriptures thanks to recently discovering an ancient Aramaic word that means ‘one that is like the capturing element of feminine hygiene product.’ Anyway, it’s typical douchebag behavior to deny douchery, and even to point it out in others, all the while not knowing you are the epitome of a douche.”

So has anyone touched on the fact that it's entirely possible that Weis' "genius" was based on the Patriots propensity to cheat by stealing the other team's signals?

I think ND actually has a defense this year. Not a good one mind you, but a defense nonetheless. :wink2:

Well if by "defense" you mean that they manage to get 11 guys on the field while the other team had the ball...then I'm inclined to agree.

No, you don't understand. When he had super genius Weis with him Belichick didn't need to cheat. But when Chucky left to return NoD to greatness (ETA: 20??) Belichick knew he was in trouble so he began cheating.

Imposter priest sneaks into ND game

YouTube removes six-minute video featuring hijinks

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- A man posted on the Internet a video showing how he sneaked into Notre Dame Stadium before the Georgia Tech game by posing as a Roman Catholic priest, prompting the university to re-emphasize its security procedures.

The six-minute video on the Web site YouTube showed the man posing by the team's signature yellow sign reading "Play Like a Champion Today," chatting with a television reporter and greeting the Fighting Irish as they ran onto the field to play Georgia Tech on Sept. 1. The video has since been removed.

University spokesman Dennis Brown said ushers made "an honest mistake" in failing to check the man for credentials, likely fooled by the camera crew that apparently followed him into the stadium.

"A group like that would need to request a credential, a field pass," Brown said. "(But) it looked professional enough that clearly the ushers at the gate were deceived and made a mistake."

Brown said that current security precautions, if followed, are enough to prevent such pranks from happening again.

Good stuff from Mandel:

[...] As was discussed last week, and as any Notre Dame fan will tell you, Weis' current predicament is due in large part to recruiting shortcomings during the end of Willingham's tenure. What those fans would never admit to, however, but what I absolutely believe, is that they themselves contributed to Willingham's failures. The class that causes the most retrospective angst among Domers is Willingham's 2004 crop, which was ranked inordinately low and, as expected, has largely been a bust. However, Willingham, who had only just finished his second season at that point, was already facing rampant criticism and job-security questions. In fact, shortly before Signing Day that year, a group of alumni from across the country sent a letter to the school's board of trustees denouncing the "pronounced and persistent deterioration of the Notre Dame football program," which included the line, "Although we continue to support [Willingham] and hope he succeeds ... absent significant progress in 2004, a coaching change will become necessary." Gee ... do you think that helped recruiting? Do you think Weis would currently be assembling the No. 1 class in the country if they'd written a similar letter this past January?

I bring this up not to completely absolve Willingham of his shortcomings, but to point out that perhaps there were extenuating circumstances that contributed to his performance. After all, he had no such trouble assembling his vaunted 2003 class -- nor does he seem to be having any similar troubles at Washington. Believe me, the program he took over in Seattle was in far worse shape than the one Weis inherited in South Bend. At the time of Willingham's arrival, UW was only 18 months removed from Rick Neuheisel's ugly ouster and had spent the past two seasons under the direction of an obvious lame duck, Keith Gilbertson. The Huskies had gone 1-10 the year before he arrived, not 6-6. For Washington to be in a position where it is now beating teams like Boise State and possibly contending for a bowl berth is a direct testament to Willingham's ability to restock the talent there and coach it up.
