It’s hard to believe that TY without doing much has a better record than Weis and why was Davies fired anyway. His record would have been about the same. We could have saved ourselves a lot of bad publicity. I will miss the two Charlies like I miss Daryll and his other brother Daryll. The cute site of Charles Jr. prancing about the sideline with a headset on will be cemented in my memory. I see someone put an end to that this season. Maybe they will allow it one more time during the Stanford game.

I hope when Charlie leaves he enjoys our money. Remember when you contribute to the University, know that the money is going into Charlies’ bank account.

Now lets talk about Jimmie. When he started in 2007 in the glorious 3 -9 season, he was awful. Could be the supporting cast, but he like Poulos was annointed. Last year he did not look that good either until the Hawaii game. However, Hawaii was not a very good team.

This year he’s looking much better, but he has 3 all american receivers who make him look better than he is. Most of the time the receiver have to jump to get the ball or come back for it. They also get a lot of yardage after the catch. So if the NFL wants to spend a bunch of money on someone who will not make it then so be it. I don’t watch it anyway. Professional sports is too boring.

I watched Jimmie closely during the Michigan State game in 2008 and you know he throws the ball up without looking where it was going. Just threw it up high so his receivers could go get it. Without that strong supporting cast Jimmie has had lackluster games and losses on top of that. I personally think a lot of ex-players who left the program are laughing as they should because Charlie deserves everything thats falling his way. Can you imagine that in a 3-9 season he had a depth chart. Pay me $4,000,000(thats a four with 6 zeros) and I’ll show you what hard work is. Unfortunately, I’d have something to show for it.

K-mart I think Jimmie lost as many games as he won. Not someone I would pay countless dollars for. However, if the economy keeps tanking, we may not have to worry about professional sports and high paid athlets much longer. That is when his ND degree will come in handy.

Jones, Sharpley, and Frazer are average talents – chastising Weis for not playing them is moronic. Especially since the Irish problems have not stemmed from the Quarterback position.

Jimmy Clausen is a top 10 NFL talent. None of those other kids are even in the discussion.

Even with Claussen Charlie cant’t win. Even with all the offensive talent Charlie and Clausen can’t win. I’m sure Charlie promissed Clausen the NFL. However, Jimmie like his brothers just cannot quite win.

People are writing about what a great guy Weis is and how he loves ND etc. etc. He is paid $4,000,000 to coach a football team. Someone obviously forgot to tell him that his job included winning those football games. That he is incompetent at what he is doing is obvious and the 3 – 9 season should have been an indication of that had we been using the smarts that ND people think they pssess. How were they so fooled by this carnival huckster.

It’s getting to the point that I say keep him so that we can all sing the Navy alma matter after a Navy win and congratuate those teams that defeat us in their locker room and sing cumba ya with them. He can’t be viewed as being dumb because he’s rich and we’re the fools who were taken in.

Cumba ya!!

really hoping for the W today for all the seniors and for mr sam young not to commit any 1st year penalties…McCarthy gets an INT as well i think….GO IRISH

dear mr richrod enjoy your last game at UM i hate you and everything about your team

Go back and read what you wrote. Perhaps some of what you said didn’t translate, because you can’t honestly belive that “nothing about practice makes a great player.” I was a three sport athlete in high school. I can tell you that while I was not overly athletic I became a pretty good player in all three sports because of hard-work, hours upon hours of practice, and great coaching.

As far as playing 5 different QB’s I’m not really sure what you’re talking about. You put the personnel on the field that give you the best chance to win. Obviously from what the coaching staff saw, they thought that person was Clausen. After the season Jimmy has had, are you really going back and doubting this?

Also with respect, Golden Tate did just learn to play. If you go back and look at Golden last year, he was pretty much relying on his athletic skill alone. He was extremely raw. It’s been fairly well documented how much he worked on every part of his game this offseason route running, run blocking, etc. etc.

I don’t understand the point that you’re trying to make.

Great show guys.

Cheers

Charlie has had like 5 QB’s and really only played one. We’ll never know how good others would have been because he made sure they would fail. Golden did not just learn how to play, he would have been like this in his freshman year. Why wait till this year to realy play him.

Brian Kelly has been successful every place he’s been and under severe handicaps. Central Michigan before he got there was dead. He revived them quickly and now they are probably the best in the MAC. Meyer and Stoops are no better Brian Kelly. They are in places where they can recruit talent easily whether its Texas or Florida. In Michigan we know what kind of coach he is, let the rest of the ND fans get a taste of class and victories.

Maybe he can do what Charlie can’t and that is win with talented players. Maybe he can more easily let them play to their abilities and win. He has shown he can, so why doubt his abilities to coach and put together a team.
