- Speaking of disappointing, you almost can't say that word without Charlie Weis coming to the forefront of your mind. Watching Michigan and Notre Dame play this year was the epic battle of sinking ship vs. treading water.
My favorite line of the 2008 college football season is, "Notre Dame is on the rise." To answer that, I will quote one of my favorite television characters of all time, Dr. Cox of Scrubs: "WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG...WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG...WRONG...WRONG."
Notre Dame isn't on the rise. Notre Dame has the benefit of playing a softer schedule than your biggest roll of Charmin. Notre Dame has wins over San Diego St., Michigan, Purdue, Stanford, and Washington.
Combined record of those opponents, drum roll please...9-30! And none of the five victories they have are against a team with a winning record! WOO-HOO, Notre Dame is back!
Notre Dame has dropped two games thus far, and wouldn't ya know, if it wasn't to the only teams on their schedule that have a winning record in Michigan State and North Carolina.
Get back to me Notre Dame fan when you fire Weis, beat USC, and all of your top five recruiting classes start living up to their hype.
But hey Notre Dame fan, don't fear. I'm sure that next underachieving top five recruiting class will be the one to bring Notre Dame back to glory.
I will give Charlie Weis one thing...he can recruit. Unfortunately for Notre Dame, he can't coach any of the talent he has there.
But he is the next best thing to a good coach: He's a white, Catholic, Notre Dame alum, so that will buy him AT LEAST five years of mediocrity, unlike another "off-colored" coach who wasn't granted that same courtesy and who will remain nameless...
