Here's what Charlie said, "And then we'll listen to Michigan have all their excuses as they come running in and saying how they have a new coaching staff and there's changes. To hell with Michigan!"
As you would expect, Skunkbear nation reacted with little thought and much vitriol... using really imaginative slams such fat jokes and calling him a "Blowhard."
It might even seem like a new low in the Notre Dame-Michigan rivalry, except it's not new at all. In fact, the line is a reference to Bo Schembechler. Turns out that Charlie is a better student of Michigan history than the majority of Michigan fans.
As ndoldtown wrote back in 2006, Bo's (he of zero national championships) last public statement about ND was "To Hell with Notre Dame." In fact, he used this phrase often as some Michigan fans know well and used it publicly. Charlie used it at a ND only event where such rally the troops talks are normal fare.
So, no, Charlie hasn't reached a new low --- Bo set that standard years ago.

I have been a Notre Dame fan since I was 5 and I don't understand why "Domers" defend Charlie Weis. Weis is a moron and I am still not sure why he has an ego. Weis has single handled ran the program into the ground. I have never seen a coach get more mileage of almost victory against USC. Notre Dame will be lucky if they go 6-6 next year with loses to Michigan and Washington. NDNation continues to qualify Weis losses and it's getting ridiculous. I will be happy for Notre Dame once this guy is no longer the coach.

This is awesome. Thanks for shedding the history of this comment. And Domers, don't take any garbage off the future 4-8 Michigan Wolverines. Michigan fans are the first to let WVU know that they are the titties of college football. Be sure to remind the Big Televen snobs that your history dominates anything they have ever done on the football field.

its nice that you can remember so far back...how bout the last couple of years...we beat your a**...worst loss at home in history...funny you dont remember that...
the only reason your lame coach said that is to take some of the media attention away from all the losses...
win some games then get back to me....

Hey Nick,
Atleast the domers didn't lose to the 1-AA Appalachian State Mountaineers at home in the bighouse. I'd rather go 0-12 than lose to a 1-AA school.
