Notre Dame

It’s Over! It’s Over!

November 29, 2009 by Wally 14 Comments

Thank goodness, the Charlie Weis Era is over!   And I'm not the only one who's delighted about this.   As you can see in the photo, Charlie is being escorted straight to an NFL coordinators job ... do not pass go, do not clean up your office ... we'll send you your stuff. In a fitting finale that was certainly a microcosm of this lost season, Stanford predictably came from … [Read more...] about It’s Over! It’s Over!

Notre Dame must act quickly

November 21, 2009 by Wally 16 Comments

By Wally Well, anyone who was either watching the ND game, or at least trying to keep up with scores on Saturday, now understands that the Irish will almost certainly be replacing Charlie Weis with a new coach between seasons.  (If they don't, AD Jack Swarbrick should also be shown the door).  Anyway, I won't spend time making the argument to let Weis go.    The evidence is … [Read more...] about Notre Dame must act quickly

ND football has just hit a new low.   And although he may not have been fired just yet, Charlie Weis just took one step out the door with Saturday's unbelievable head-scratching loss to Navy.   The only thing that can save him now is to win the next 3 games (at Pitt, UConn, at Stanford) AND the bowl game.   But right now, the chances of that miracle happening look quite slim … [Read more...] about So Long, Charlie!

Irish Spook the Cougs at the Alamo

November 1, 2009 by Wally 9 Comments

Notre Dame's Halloween "home game away from home" went about the way most people thought it would as the Irish dominated Washington State en route to a 40-14 win that was essentially over midway through the 3rd quarter.   The play of the game was Clausen's 50 yard Hail Mary pass to Golden Tate as time expired in the first half.   Tate managed to wrestle the ball away from 3 WSU … [Read more...] about Irish Spook the Cougs at the Alamo
