Haha, born and raised in Ohio all my life, but my family has always been heavily Irish. Family has graduated there, they give a lot of money and support the university still. Yeah, its sad to see the subway alum that can't handle one bad season, but most of us saw this one coming. Its hard to watch, but you still gotta support your team in the good times and the bad.

Which many of us respect, even if the object of your adoration is misguided.:biggrin:

On Mike & Mike in the Morning:
Greenberg, quoting Jay Leno, reported the following:
  • Reversing centuries of doctrine,the Vatican has approved euthanasia: But only for the Notre Dame football team.
  • The Hunchback of Notre Dame has transferred to Michigan State
  • Pope Benedict has issued an edict saying, "Take Purdue and lay the points"
Mike Golic missed the humor for some reason.

I'll never understand why people who are Irish decide they should like Notre Dame...just because they're Irish.

It's for the same reason that people from Pennsylvania decide they should like Penn St. They're dumb.

Should ND's Press Transcripts be a No-Spin Zone

Assertions of Selective Editing (kind way of saying censorship I suppose) in transcript of Weis' Press Conference. ND Observer.
(Contrasted in the article with the Gundy / Carlon / Reid story).
Football Commentary: Coaches argue with press corps
Should teams be able to regulate coverage?

Ken Fowler

Issue date: 9/27/07 Section: Sports

Charlie Weis had a bit of a moment last week.

Eric Hansen of the South Bend Tribune wrote a lengthy "analysis" in last Thursday's paper, which asked the reader to imagine he were Charlie Weis and explored what Weis was thinking going into the Michigan State game.

In reality, it was a column - which is fine. Its toughest words went like this:

"You talked a good game about nasty, but until now you weren't doing anything to actually build it. You can point the finger at offensive line coach John Latina, but his lines at Ole Miss were considered among the best-coached and toughest in the SEC."

Weis took offense and answered Hansen's unrelated question at a news conference the next day with a quick retort and a jab at Hansen.

"Well, would you like for me to answer this in the first person, second person or third person?" Weis asked. "Well, you probably have that answer. So we'll move on. Next question."

The exchange was available for all to see via an on-line video, but the athletic department omitted the words from the "official" transcript posted on-line. Associate Athletic Director John Heisler said Tuesday that Notre Dame routinely edits its transcripts, provided by a third party, for clarity's sake when specific questions would not make sense for those reading.

While official transcripts should include complete, unedited quotations for honesty's sake - and to retain the legitimacy of the transcript itself - there is a separate, important point raised by the exchange.

Weis is either right or wrong; there's no need to ignore the conflict of opinions.

Such conflicts between coaches and media happen, and they are far from rare. Leaders in pressure-packed jobs get mad all the time. Sometimes their anger is justified; sometimes it's not. Always, however, it's entertaining. As a friend of mine said earlier this week, people love you when you're human. Humans have a tendency to get mad, react stupidly and then repent. That's life.

It's nice of ND to take C-Dog into consideration when they do these things.

Oh Charlie Weis you big fat bastard. The media says nothing about Weis copping an attitude about a rather clever article about one's professional performance. However, when Mike Gundy flipped a nut to defend a player's honor, he was the biggest evil since the guy who invented one ply toilet paper... Media hipocracy at its finest.

ROFL!

BTW has anyone checked out the ratings for ND this year?

Can you imagine if ND sucking azz actually increases ratings?

What if NBC renews the contract after '10 because ND consistently losing is actually better for them financially?

Good lord...
