For those of you hoping that Charlie Weis would do the right thing and resign: it appears as though Charlie has dug his heels into the sand and prepared himself for a hostage negotiation. The hostage, in this case, is the Notre Dame football program.  Just a few minutes ago, Charlie announced that no decision had been ... Read More »

Not much new for Notre Dame. Charlie Weis remains as the worst head coach in all of college football. Never before have I seen so little accomplished with so much talent: Floyd, Tate, Clausen et al. Charlie must go. He is a listless mess on the sideline, burying his face into his color-coded play sheet. He has absolutely no ... Read More »

Yesterday, defensive tackle Ian Williams offered a candid answer in response to why the Irish were defeated by Navy. His answer? Notre Dame was "outschemed", according to Williams. Well, evidently, Charlie Weis does not take kindly to one of his own players suggesting that he and his staff was outfoxed by the opposition. ... Read More »

How many of you were surprised by the result of Saturday's Notre Dame/Navy game? I suppose the better question is: Will this latest embarrassing defeat be enough to terminate the Charlie Weis Experiment?   You recall that this was supposed to be 'The Year' that the Irish returned to a BCS bowl. You may not recall that, ... Read More »

It's not surprising that Notre Dame is trailing Navy at the half. I've been saying all along that this team, this program, is on the fast track to obscurity with Weis limping about the sidelines. A reminder: Navy lost to Temple last week. Yes. Temple.  Thus far today, the running game is absent and Jimmy Clausen is ... Read More »

I haven't written much lately because there isn't very much left to say. I suppose I could continue to repeat my  blogs, trotting out why   Notre Dame Football   is dead as we once knew it.
But I have become at once indifferent and curious regarding the precipitous decline of a once-proud ... Read More »

I hate bye weeks during Notre Dame Football season. That noted, let's take a peek at the Michigan Wolverines, shall we? A few blogs prior, I announced Michigan was a fraud. I said they would lose four or five games. I was never sold on their cocky freshman quarterback, who I believe has a weaker arm than New York Yankees ... Read More »

Right out of the chute, here are a few thoughts on the game: Jimmy Clausen is the best quarterback in the country — and it's not even close. Playing opposite the multi-talented Washington quarterback, Jake Locker, Clausen was remarkably poised under duress the entire afternoon. Hobbled by a turf-toe injury that will, ... Read More »

(courtesy Darron Cummings/AP) Jimmy Clausen celebrating the victory over Purdue. Upon a day of reflection on Saturday evening's thrilling victory against Purdue, I have fallen back into cranky pessimist mode. Before I touch on my concerns, it must be noted that Jimmy Clausen is quickly becoming a Notre Dame legend. Clausen, ... Read More »

Jimmy Clausen is a helluva quarterback. Playing on a bum foot, he led his Fighting Irish on a game-winning drive to defeat the Purdue Boilermakers 24-21. On fourth-and-goal, Clausen found his remarkable tight end, Kyle Rudolph, for the winning toss. The Irish were able to control the game for much of the contest, but Purdue ... Read More »
