Apparently, Charlie Weis is out to rekindle a rivalry.
http://www.uhnd.com/bb/forum/index.php?action=display&forumid=6&msgid=75653
Them's fightin' words to me. "To hell with Michigan," hey? Well ease up there, Charles.
Charlie also guaranteed a victory this season against the Maize and Blue, citing that Michigan would "come into South Bend with excuses for a loss."
Hey, Charles? Weren't you the guy with a 3-9 team last year? Weren't you the team we teabagged 38-0 after the “Game That Never Happened” and the Oregon debacle?
Didn't your "golden boy" quarterback spend more time on his back than throwing passes? Should you, of all people, really be talking smack to us?
Listen, Charles. I understand. The rivalry is there already.
You've been insignificant since you started at Notre Dame aside from getting your butts handed to you by us and failing at life in general.
I get what you're trying to do. But don't overlook Michigan, especially when you're in arguably worse shape in the present time.
As for these excuses we plan to make?
Well, I think it'll be a lot more fun to hear you back peddle when we take that "guarantee" and shove it down your throat. That is, if we can fit it in there with all the donuts, Good n' Plenty's and whatever else you've got crammed in there.
Don't worry about Michigan, Charles. We're liking the doubters. We're liking being taken lightly.
August 31, Charles. August 31. Hope you enjoy crow.

Well, let's take a few seconds to look at this.
The words "to hell with Michigan" were said at a brunch on campus--- in front of alums, fans, and players--- on the Blue/Gold game weekend.
Now, if you were the coach of a school at what amounts to a pep rally with food on the weekend of your spring game, how exactly would you speak about a popular rival?
a) I hope we can hang with Michigan after going 3-9 last year
b) To hell with Michigan

It's not the "to hell with Michigan" so much as the guaranteed win. Good to see this rivalry finally heating up, however.

Yeah, about that-- I went through the entire video and didn't hear Weis guarantee a win.
Weis, as best as I could hear: (after talking about SD State) ... And then we can listen, we'll listen to Michigan have all their excuses, as they come running in, saying how they have a new coaching staff, new/those changes, to hell with Michigan.
If anything, he's talking about Michigan coming in, pre-ND game, with what could be considered excuses for a potentially poor performance, and not talking about Michigan post-ND game.
Additionally, if Weis did guarantee a win over Michigan, you'd hear about it ad nauseam across the media.

No, the guarantee wasn't in the video at all. I should've noted that. Again, I just thought it a bit much of him to do something like that but I understand that ND is on the down-swing and is trying to get some attention to itself and make itself seem like a power again.

Bo Schembechler, August 2006:
"We don't need Notre Dame. They need us more than we need them. Hell, we're playing all these Big Ten teams. When Penn State came into the league, then we should do everything we can to get this Notre Dame series over with. Now that's the way I feel.
"I would rather have an intersectional game than a Midwest game. Play Southern Cal. I don't care. Play Texas ... somebody like that. But not Notre Dame."
And from the novel Natural Enemies, by John Kryk:
...[Bo] said if he were still Michigan's athletic director, he wouldn't schedule them even "if they got down on their hands and knees and begged. To Hell with Notre Dame."
So I suppose this is just an act of turning a quote on his head.

Charlie Weis is one of the few people who might be excited to eat his words. Zing!

What kind of ignorant tool is this Ryan kid? Analyst my arse. And he likes my Sabres....even worse.
This says it all:
"You've been insignificant since you started at Notre Dame aside from getting your butts handed to you by us and failing at life in general."
Insignificant means a little Michigan fan does not get his panties in a bunch when Weis says pep rally comments at essentially a pep rally.
Failing at life in general? UMMM, not even going to touch this. The comment says more about the writer than it does about Weis.

I'm sorry, but at what point did a disagreeing response turn into an insult fest? And correct me if I'm wrong but again, wasn't Charlie Weis' Notre Dame 3-9 last year? Haven't they been dominated by UM the last few years? Jesus people, let's throw a hissy fit and toss insults around when we don't like the piece. Way to be grown ups.

Ryan puts up a crap article that was not well thought, nor well-intended and then whines when he gets criticized for it.

You're just another punk, jackass who thinks his insulting someone is criticizing them. Stop being a douchebag and grow up.
