Off topic, but I was looking at BGS's first posts, and that was around the time of the coaching search. I found this post and you had Charlie as a C if hired. Isn't it funny how things change? Reading your blog is like reading a book. Seriously, I love looking back at your posts. It is by far the best ND football blog around. By the way, can you tell me how many posts you've done in it? Here's the link to the post: http://bluegraysky.blogspot.com/

who the hell does this guy think he is? why is he bashing us... you don't see notre dame players taking shots at LSU. He has no right to say that we do not belong where we are until after the sugar bowl |
|
Yeah, that's cute, come back and talk to us when you've got 11 Nat. Champs./7 Heismans/thousands of fans in every city and various countries etc. etc. |
|
If that doesnt make you nasty, what does? Where is Chris Zorich when you need him. Damn, I would love to see some of that nastiness that Charlie promised when he was hired. This pisses me off and I am just a subway alumnus. I dont think we have any nasty players other than Zibby, it is time to kick some big-mouth ass.... |
|
Who is Chase Pittman anyway? |
|
Media darlings? Who's he referring to -- Beano Cook? |
|
Keep them quotes comin' Tigers. Just more fodder for the ND Bulletin boards and more incentive for the Irish! |
|
Maybe we're media darlings traditionally, but has he watched or read ANY national coverage since Dec. 3? LSU's getting more love than T. Smith was leading up to the Heisman ceremony. If nothing else, witness LSU's victory yesterday in the Sportscenter Championship Series! |
|
Sean. I just read the old blog about prospective head coaches. Not only did Sean at BGS have Charlie rated as a the only "C" candidate in consideration, but a "C" was the lowest grade handed out. I agree. The old BGS blogs are classic. |
|
"C" probably just meant "Charlie". |
|
or "Cocky" |
|
Who is Chase Pittman, you ask? How about this? http://www.fanblogs.com/lsu/005285.php |

Other than USC, LSU was my # 2 most-hated team while I was at du Lac. I can still hear "goe duh hale, noder dime, goe duh hale" incessantly raining down on our guys on a horrific Saturday night, in the Deep South. |
|
The LSU cheer reminds me of what the Bama fans were yelling along Bourbon Street before the '74 Sugar Bowl...picture beer bellied southern fried porkers, yelling "Row Todd Row" all night and until the game ended. |
|
Well, I just arranged to get a couple tickets from a classmate and will be able to watch this spectacle in person. I'm bringing a box of Kleenex because I expect we're going to get out asses kicked. Man, I just hope we can stay with them and have a good game for the TV audience |
|
Did you read the comments by Gerry DiNardo, that perrenial loser? I can't believe his bitter diatribe. And to what purpose? ND was pretty good to him, even wanted to interview him when Davie was let go. But he declined because he was going through a bitter divorce. |
|
I think the only appropriate response, besides whoopin up on him in the Sugar Bowl, comes from the mouth of Kobe Bryant, when he dismissed the cooments that Raja Bell gave to him during the playoffs. |
|
Keep in mind, until Ty was fired, there weren't a whole hell of a lot of people who even knew Charlie's name. And Belichick keeps a muzzle on his assistant coaches (and to some extent, players). The post-hiring press conference was the first time anyone actually got any idea of who it was we had just hired, and between the day he was hired and that press conference, I think a lot of people were unimpressed with the hire. Then he started talking, and people listened, and thought "this is the guy". And, it didn't hurt that once he was hired, all the sportswriters started interviewing all the opposing NFL players/coaches and propped him up as an "offensive genius". |

Veno Paraskevas was a Purdue linebacker who said similar stuff prior to the Purdue ND football game in 1970. 48-0 ND I believe |
|
I don't know why anyone here would be upset by this quote. It is probably the best thing we could hope for. Somehow, this team needs to get up for this damn game, and come out and hit LSU right in the mouth. It'd be nice to see. |
|
gwzimm, |
|
Stupified by his comments... |
|
Dana Payne, you're wrong about Nebraska. These gap-toothed Herbies here hate ND the way Miami hates us. |
|
Any game of student-athletes v. very athletic part-time students is a big problem. Witness tOSU and the U of $emi-pro Collegian$. |
|
i have no problem with ND. I love when Michigan beats them and hate when UM loses to them. I respect ND and Charlie Weis. However, I just feel like that anytime ND has played anyone with a pulse(no not PSU or UCLA-which ND struggled with) they get taken behind the woodshed and get beatdown. And the reason people feel like ND is a media darling is because they were on every preseason magazine and the Sporting News had Quinn walking on water. So good luck with LSU, but I just don't see you guys winning. |
|
It's all good, Wolverine. But instead of worrying about ND's troubles in the Big Easy, perhaps you should be thinking about what Michigan is up against. UM and USC are both bitter about not playing in something more meaningful than the championship game. If UM loses, they'll have absolutely nothing to show for this season. No conference championship, no bowl win (you also have something of a bowl losing streak), nothing. No Wolverine can make the case that they show up for the big game when ND doesn't if they lose the Rose Bowl. |
|
I cannot for the life of me understand the diatribe that is spewed by fans of other teams because ND got a little bit of press this year in the pre-season. There are certain programs that it is good for college football to be competetive every year. When those teams arent then college football loses its feel and appeal. Notre Dame, Penn St, USC, Michigan, Ohio St, Alabama, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Miami and Florida St, I would add in there, when those teams are down in any combination then for some reason college football doesnt seem right. When they are up and playing well and competing against one another in bowl games or regular season then all is right with college football. As a ND fan, and also a fan of college football, I love seeing the "traditional" powers get back and dominate again. Maybe all these other schools can see what is going to happen with ND now that there is a coach there who loves the school, wants it back in its rightful place among the powers that be, and is out recruiting some of the best players in the country. All of you had your shots at ND in the recent past, enjoy them now, for they are not going to last much longer. |
|
Michigan does have to worry about USC, I'll give you that Joe. Trust me, I have been thinking about them since the pairing was announced. Dwayne Jarrett and Steve Smith especially worry me if the pass rush is weak (which I doubt will happen) against Booty. |
|
Not to hijack the thread, but Harrison Smith committed to the Irish yesterday. Suck it, Fulmer. |
|
Chase Pittman... a supermarket of some sort? Does anyone else picture every LSU practice as being something out of "The Waterboy"? |
|
CC Angel... |
|
Nebraska? NEBRASKA? Come on, go beat up your girl friend |
|
We're not even going to do LSU the courtesy of sticking it halfway in. We're going balls deep. |
|
Yo, Andrew: |
|
what did Dinardo say re: ND? |
|
typical "ND has sold its soul for football glory" comment. |
|
Hey Jay, let's get that Andrew comment off the blog. We don't need that kind of crap on a respectable site. |
|
F-ck LSU. What a bunch of thugs. These kids are morons. Have you heard them in interviews? They sound like uneducated simpletons, which they obviously are. |
|
i need to start using the word "sturified" more |
|
Fred, |
|
Doesn't sturifying have something to do with Turducken? Cause I love me some Turducken with a deep fried Twinkie and a cold Genesee. Did I say Genesee? I meant Guinness, and I'll be bringing it in my carpet bag so git ready fer some northern aggression bubby. |
|
Hey, watch the anti-southern comments there indy. Some of us who grew up south of the Mason-Dixon line do root for the Irish =) |
|
Steve G, |
|
Domers, |
|
How you guys can rip Denardo (sic?) and not Rip Granny Holtz is beyond me? Holtz has to be the worst guy ever on ESPN - EVER |
|
I feel ya JohnWA. I didn't mean to rip on the southland, but when I started thinking about Turducken it all just came pouring out. Apologies to our southern brothers and sisters. Seriously though, Trans fats are keeping the people down. That stuff is really not good for you! |
