Do they bail on Charlie or to use a popular euphemism "stay the course"?

F your "popular euphemism" this the football board, and no.. he's fried.

Good job "alienating the alumni" dip shit. He should be around a year or so, they gave him way too much cash. Karma is very entertaining from a distance.

I hear "Rudy II" is currently in production...of course this tear-jerker of a sequal is about a starting tailback that actually makes a first down :lol:

No, Rudy Clausen is given the starting job by a fat man over an African American Quarterback. The AAQB transfers to Tennessee (Cause he is actually so fast he can play in the SEC). A 10-2 Tennessee team then beats an 8-4 Notre Dame team in the Sugar Bowl by 59, which leads Rudy to be demoted to Special Teams. Rudy battles adversity and becomes the starting Punter. Rudy has more total punt yardage in 6 games than he had in one whole season as a quarterback

Rudy is then drafted in the 4th round by the Green Bay Packers, and plays until the age of 47. When he retires, he has made as much money in his long 25 year career as a Punter as he would have in 1 year as a Quarterback.

Next up, a comedy based on the Atlanta Falcons franchise, where their coach wants to take a starting job at a Pac-10 school, their starting quarterback rushes for 1,000 yards while on Marijuana and having detestable off the field activities, and their backup quarterback is traded to the Texans. The former backup quarterback throws for 3000 yards and takes the Texans to the playoffs.

No. This is a very sober and silly idea for a movie.

If you meant the whole Texans making the playoffs thing, they are 2-1 so far and their defense is looking rather solid.

On the Stewart departure two things:
First FOX28 reports on his leaving, seems his father wants one last college try to get him back into ND - uncharacteristically ND is calling this a "Leave of Absence" - umm, OK.
Secondly, talk about the wrong week to leave - he was 3rd behind Wenger and Carufel. Except, that would not be true for the Purdue game, because Wenger has been declared unable to perform (Chicago Tribune - Irish Blarney).

As for guard Dan Wenger (left leg), Weis ruled him out for Purdue but perhaps not for much longer.
"I'd say, optimistically, it looks like maybe UCLA," Weis said. "He's not going to be a go this week, but he's out there running around now. (UCLA is) what he's shooting for right now."

Which would have put Stewart into the 2-spot - virtually guaranteeing some live reps, even if it was only in the 4th quarter. Clearly Stewart had to know this, clearly he still wanted no more of ND for whatever reason. It was not about playing time.

Not to be obsessive about this whole "Snowball in South Bend" theory (and who better than our resident conspiracy theorist lvbuckeye to coin that term :) ) but, one obvious sign of the fear that a snowball may be growing is when the fanbase starts making their own lists of future transfer candidates.

That has now started to happen.

Names being tossed around 06 recruits Sergio Brown and Mo Richardson, and, astoundingly (given that he has often seen the field) Armando Allen (an 07 recruit).

QB controversy? I'd want the other guy to have to go in there and take the beating too! :biggrin:

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- The quarterback debate that defined Notre Dame's preseason practices promised to rear its head when Evan Sharpley replaced injured Jimmy Clausen on Saturday and engineered an Irish rally during a 33-19 loss to Purdue. Clausen injured a hip and left the game early in the third quarter before returning to throw the first touchdown pass of his college career, a five-yard lob to tight end John Carlson.
He left for good in the final seconds of the third quarter, when his injury prevented him from making an accurate pass to a wide-open Golden Tate for what might have been a big play.
''It wasn't allowing him to make all the throws, and it just didn't make sense to play an injured Jimmy when you had a healthy Evan,'' Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis said.
