Texas Tech fires the Dungeon Master!
Posted by UFreak in 
So, what does the guy do?….Well, this is America folks, so of course he SUES the School! SURE!…Lawyers will sue for any F*ckin’ reason, even one where you spill hot ass f’n coffee on your crotch!..AND, apparently, when you MAKE a football player stand in a shed for getting a concussion!
listen, I get the part where a Coach is responsible to tUFf’n up the players, and there have been all kinds of techniques used to get that message across,..but tell, me PLEASE, anyone, What does standing in a “shed” for 3 hours do for a player who has a CONCUSSION!?!?!?….Bear Bryant would be OUT, if he attempted this stupid stupid, F’N stupid tactic. WHAT THE F*CK?!?!….Can you see the progression here?….JAMES: “Coach, I’ve been diagnosed with a concussion, and the Doc says I shouldn’t practice…..Says I should get rest”…LEACH: “OK, sure, I can understand that, son…Did this “DOC” fella say anything about YOU standing uninterrupted for several hours in a tool shed?”…..JAMES: “What?”….”Stand in a tool shed, Coach?”….”Is there a benefit to standing in a shed, even withOUT a concussion?”….LEACH: “F*CK YOU SON!…I’m the fat ass with man-boobs around here, NOT YOU!…I SAY YOU STAND IN A FREAKIN’ SHED for 3 hours, YOUR ASS STANDS IN A TOOL SHED FOR 3 HOURS, boy-ee”!….JAMES: “OK”….”Damn, you’re a smart man, Coach”…LEACH: “ARE YOU IN THAT SHED YET SON?!?!?!
Really, what ounce of sweat can you imagine you’ll get from sending a kid with a concussion, to “stand” in a shed?….I’ve been sent through the wringer puh-lenty! I understand and support the cause as it relates to the goals of getting the players to be tUFf,….however, knowing NOW about the legal side of things, and hearing how schools are paying off claims left and right over issues like NOT letting a pregnant girl play Volleyball, to kids dying during ordered “runs”,…I cannot imagine what Leach exposed Texas Tech to in the form of a lawsuit. had they NOT taken issue with this, it would have been as if they endorse this crazy teaching technique. In light of what happened to fatass Mangino over in Kansas, HOW can anyone support Leach on this? Fat Albert Mangino was dismissed over making a kid burn his hands doing the crawl, for gawds sake. What happens if James ends up with perm brain damage?….it wouldn’t even have to be related to the “STAND” treatment….but a Doctor somewhere will say it “could” have! The school’s fly is WIDE OPEN for litigation, and a huge payout!…FOR WHAT?….No, releasing Leach was the way to go. Tim Tebow made having a concussion a topical thing, and since there has been an out pour of players coming forward stating that they’ve been permanently hurt by Coaches and organizations for “forcing” them to Play or train after being diagnosed with a concussion! All these players coming back and supporting Leach, are not taking into consideration what the man opened up, as far as liability, for the school. His actions were crazy, foolish, and criminal. He shouldn’t be allowed to train the Guantanamo prisons in hari kari! He should never coach again, and his assface lawyer should be disbarred for taking this to our already jammed up courts!
F*CK YOU LEACH!…I hope some one makes you go 45 minutes w/o a meal, you hypocritical asshat!…You’d break like a bread stick at the 15 minute mark! I hope JAMES, sues YOUR ass! Craig James should run a pony express over your fat ass, but he wont because PETa will jump his sh.t because the horses would break their legs tripping over your man-boobs!
Yes, yes,…The Urban era is over, in G’ville…
Speculation ABOUNDS!…First off, “NO”!…I am not accepting the job if and when Jeremy Foley calls me…and he will. Second, Tebow will NOT become the youngest ever Head Coach of a major College Program as a result of this news. Though that would be kinda cool, it’ll probably not happen, even after I spurn their offer.
Too bad Brian Kelly already has HIS dream job, eh?….How funny would THAT be? Stoops, Kyle Whittingham(Utah) and Dan Mullen (Missy State) appear as common choices. I’d rather Charlie Strong disconnect from L’ville and take it up, though he’s seen by many as too green (no HC experience). I say he’d do just fine, and would maintain a solid commit to the Defense. Bob Stoops is too far removed to have the intended impact, though he’d be a big name,…sadly, he will not be leaving Oklahomo until he’s ready to retire.
Notre Dame fans have offered Chunky, but Foley didn’t have enUFf Double Bubble grape flavor to cinch up the deal…Speculation of this move, however, that he might end up in G’ville DID boost investing in the local Wendy’s and Burger Kings franchises. Also, Lard-o-Boy Donuts looked into available space close to the Stadium,….thankfully there appear to be 4200 candidates ahead of Big-Butt, so….all that for nothing.
Recruits appear to be locking in on theoir commits, but they have yet to be pressed by some of the sharks that will certain to be circling Urban’s carcass as the season progresses. Its more the nature of the biz than anything disrespectful though. The biggest winner of this happening will be Saban and Mack, as they will be the most likely to qualify for the talent that could be available.
Do the Gators get another Ron Zook?…or do they do a little better this go ’round?….Haters are hoping for the Zookster!….and Lame Kitten is probably still laughing!
UPDATE: AND NOW THIS
Turner Gill will NOT be the next UC Head Coach….
No, he sure wont be, here at UC. WHY?…well, probably the biggest reason is he can return to the BIG12. Turner Gill was a fablulous player at Nebraska, of course, and tooled under some impressive Coaches during his post-playing days. He would have been a nice fit here too. His offense is a little different, but I think he’d have been a better fit than Skippy will/would. (Skip Holtz). Anyone who’s father does a spot on ESPN as DUMB as Lispin’ Lou Holtz, will never get an endorsement here!…..He can become the next Urban Meyer, and he’ll still be the dude who’s lispin’ Dad did that dumbass skit on ESPN! To be fair, I should cut ESPN in on 1/2 the blame,…so, I do.
…..What they tell you you’ll get, and what you ACTUALLY get. See any difference?….
So, Turner Gill is off the list, and Skippy is still available!…(yuh-wah, What a surprise, huh?) Will Kansas be better off at this time next year, than UC will? Probably not!…but my guess suggests that by 2011, Gill has made strides, while Skippy will lead UC back to the middle of the pack in the Big Least. I sure hope UC Skips, on Holtz!…
Think the mighty (Jeff) QUINN, instead!
The expasion talk, again….
The “OLD TEN” has watched their once mighty (well, it was in the 40′s – 60′s I hear) conference fall further and further behind everyone else, for years!
Before you think this is a “bash-the-Little-1(1)0″ piece, it really isn’t. The Big10 in trying to stick to its “traditions” has been slow to do most things other conferences have. The most progressive thing they (as a group) did, was UMichy’s hiring of Dick Rod – and unfortunately they are 2 years into that move and looking back on it with raised eyebrows. Think about OSU’s hire of Vesty…that’s NOT a move most other BIG schools would have made. It turned out well for them, but can you see Notre Dame or Oklahoma reaching out to an in-State small townie-Coach like that? You’re gonna have some success anyway, because of that old brand name, but still….low wattage. Paterno wasn’t part of the conf when he was hired,…back in 1921, or when he won Nat Titles; Making Tress the only hire who worked it all out. Though his EPIC failure against Florida in that Title game kinda took a shine off those earlier accomplishments.
The Big-Whatever conference has long been a 2-man race (No disrespect intended towards Wiscony, but really…until PENNIState got there, and got good again – boom, it was just OSU and Michy). Michy is struggling now, so its made PENNIState better. Two National Titles in the last 40 years, a losing record in the Rose Bowl, and 7 teams that dont instill fear in any MAC team, will do that.
Now they are looking like, or at least saying they will fill in another team, round off to 12 teams and get something new in the mix. For 15 years they’ve been waiting for ND to fall in their ranks, they resisted. (Mostly because the NCAA is filled with enUFf ND alum’s to keep the “gifts” coming.)
They missed out on Cincy, which would have been a super pick up (but who knew until a few years ago?)…now they are going to have to reach out to a Central Michigan, or try to pull some other ACC-like heist. Central Michy will need stadium/facility upgrades, but they are regionally a good fit. They also boast the best potential for quality, though they’d never win the Title…..which may be the plan, and it shouldn’t be. Waiting for ND to fall in line just ain’t happenin’!
Alvarez was always a good coach, hopefully he can rally enUFf supporters to get this done quick….A BIG10111? Conference Title Game?….YEE-hah!
Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez says the Big Ten will soon make a more aggressive push toward adding a 12th member.
Speaking to Wisconsin’s athletic board on Friday, Alvarez, the former longtime Badgers football coach, said the conference already has investigated possibilities for expansion “from all over the country.” And though he places no timetable on the search, Alvarez thinks conference commissioner Jim Delany will respond to a group of athletic directors and coaches who want expansion.
“I have a sense he is going to take this year to really be more aggressive about it,” Alvarez told the board. “I just think everybody feels [expansion] is the direction to go, coaches and administrators.”
Penn State football coach Joe Paterno has been the most vocal advocate of a 12th Big Ten team, and he has support from several of his fellow coaches.
A 12th team would allow the Big Ten to split into divisions and hold a conference championship game. The Big Ten typically ends its football season two weeks before the other BCS conferences, though the addition of a permanent bye week in 2010 will shrink the gap by a week.
“We’re irrelevant for the last three weeks of the football season because we’re not playing,” Alvarez said Friday.
Paterno has stumped for expansion several times, but Delany — who was unavailable for comment — told ESPN.com this spring that the league has no immediate plans to add a 12th team.
“There’s not an obvious move,” Delany said in May. “There might be to some coaches, including Coach Paterno, but it’s not as obvious to the university presidents and to the athletic directors.
“There are a lot [of schools] that could take a lot away, but there aren’t a lot that could bring so much to make the choice an easy one. You have to have a lot to make something go like this, and it’s broader than really a championship game or a basketball tournament.”
The Big Ten most recently expanded with Penn State, which began competing as a league member in football in 1993. The league has made runs at Notre Dame but hasn’t had serious discussions for several years.
Bowl Odds
Las Vegas has posted opening lines for the five Bowl Championship Series games:
Rose Bowl: Oregon (-2) vs. Ohio State. Over/under: 50. The line has moved to minus-3.5 at the time of this post.
Sugar Bowl: Florida (-10.5) vs. Cincinnati. Over/under: 62.
Fiesta Bowl: Texas Christian (-4) vs. Boise State. Over/under: 54. The line has already moved to minus-8.
Orange Bowl: Georgia Tech (-3.5) vs. Iowa. Over/under: 51. The line has moved to minus-3.
BCS title game: Alabama (-4) vs. Texas. Over/under: 45.
Ohio State, Florida, TCU, Jawja Tech, and Alabama, will win. (Though will ALL cover the spread?)……Who outside of SEC fans REALLY wants to see a 4th straight (and 3rd different) SEC National Champion!??!?!…Yeah, look for the BCS Bashers to rally in high gear over this! No one likes ANY thing that wins like this. Sure, this should be Florida and Cincy in THE BCS game, but that didn’t happen thanks to a poor performance by ‘dem Gators.
Who bets the TCU talk this year dwarfs that of The Ute talk last year?..Yeah, and it’ll be ALL the same people!
yup!…Tiger (reportedly) banged THIS porn star too….But as she might tell it,…”Who hasn’t?” — Still, bet it was a lot of fun!….for him!
Jimmy to turn Pro!,….based on what?
Jimmy-Jimmy Clausen will decide in the next few days, whether or not to forgo his Senior season at Notre Dame, and go Pro. He has that choice! He has the choice, but what is it based on?….Horrible career record?, ZERO big wins?,….bringing his team back against far inferior competition? Failing on his promises? Or maybe, getting his ass bitch-slapped by a fan in his own town?….Wait, maybe its Losing 2 of his last 3 against a team The Irish had beat 43 straight times before he got on campuss?…Possibly it was losing twice (back-to-back) AT home, on Senior Day? All that means GREAT PRO in my book (note sarcasm)!
Really, where is the substance here?….This kid’s mother agreed to swallow a QB Coach 8 weeks into her pregnancy so that “Jimmy” could be trained as a fetus!…I’m not kidding! This kid’s had opportunity other kids, who out-play him every day, never knew existed! Yet this “Super Star” has won absolutely SH.T in College! OK, let’s qualify that a bit, he’s done well for an average QB playing in a non-BCS conference who goes through his career with little to no mention. Compared to big time recruits, playing at what is suppose to be a “big-time” program?….He’s done less than nothing!. Hell, even UC-Davis picks up a memorable win now and again. How is it “Jimmy”-boy made it 3 years at Notre Dame, and never ONCE beat anyone of merit?(OK, so there were only a few opportunities due to the easy schedule, still…) You can only blame the defense for so much of a pathetic game against Navy, where they scored NOTHING until the final minutes. Or Syracuse, AT HOME, on Senior day when Jimmy’s offense scored a whopping 23 points against a team that gave up 42 to Akron that year! 23 points, btw, was the 3rd lowest points total given up by Syracuse ALL year!, in 2008. Yeah, they went 3-9 (including the Irish win) and were destroyed by everyone!! OK, so you’re going to say “Jimmy was just a Sophomore then….well yeah, a 21 year old Sophomore!
Yet, Jimmy has had NONE of those type games in HIS career! None! He didn’t even win 1/2 the games he was suppose to, much less direct even ONE “big” win!
As the younger brother of two former Division I quarterbacks—Casey and Rick Clausen, who both played at Tennessee—Jimmy Clausen gained media attention very early. Beginning in eighth grade, his parents paid his tutelage under professional quarterbacks coach Steve Clarkson. During his junior season, a Sports Illustrated feature dubbed him “The Kid with The Golden Arm”. Recruiting analysts considered him a “once in a decade” quarterback talent and ranked him as the #1 overall prospect of the 2007 high school class. Because of his quick release, some in the media compared him to Joe Namath.
Critics have questioned whether Clausen’s success in high school was largely a product of his team—containing almost a dozen players that went on to play for NCAA Division I Bowl Subdivision teams, including a highly-ranked running back, Marc Tyler—and the inferior talent level of its opponents. Many of these critics pointed to the 2007 U.S. Army All-American Bowlin which Clausen was outplayed by fellow 2007 quarterback recruit, Ryan Mallett. Further, Clausen’s age is a subject of criticism: he started kindergarten at six and repeated sixth grade, thus he was 19 years old at the time of his “early” graduation.
On April 22, 2006, Clausen verbally committed to the University of Notre Dame. He was the most highly touted recruit for the Fighting Irish since the arrival of Ron Powlus in 1993. Clausen announced his oral commitment at the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Indiana, after arriving in a stretch Hummer limousine. He also said his goal was to win multiple national titles with the Irish.
This year, “Jimmy-Jimmy” has logged 23 TD’s to only 4 INT’s, and thrown for 3382 yards. This is, I hope, what his advisers are banking an NFL future on…but again, what’s it mean? His defense “allowed” him to be ON the field a lot, and often in a position where he HAD to hurl the ball,….He played against an absolutely horrible schedule – all three years, and of those teams they played, most were soft defensively! Of the 23 TD’s he’s thrown this year, nearly a third of them (7) came in the first two weeks of this season; –against Nevada (117th worst pass defense) and hapless Michigan (in a game he lost; to a team that finished 5-7 !). He cant even boast that he managed his games well, as fumbles, a throw off a wr’s back, and keys sacks taken have plaugued him as well! Not even having two(2) of the best Wide-Outs the school has seen in 25 years, could ensure a .500 record! This, once again, against a schedule that would have had Idaho State licking their chops in anticipation! “Jimmy and the Fat Man” failed, failed, FAILED! Failed to get the wins deserving of their hype (and Coaches salary), FAILED to get even that one signature win, and failed to finish above .500! (assuming they’ll lose today). Oh, they also failed to return to any “worthy” Bowl Game!
Yeah, go play another team with a 100-something ranked pass defense in a Bowl game, JIMMY!…pad your stats, so an NFL team picks you. You will fail just like you did given all the advantages you’ve had!….Really, you give Forrest Gump that kind of starting off point, and he’d have beaten Navy all 3 times! Jimmy = Joe Namath…HAHAHAHAHA! …Here’s hoping the dumb ass Cleveland Browns take another Charlie Weis Collegiate ”product”!, and sink their franchise for another 10-12 years! – Charlie, I hope ND retains you for the life of your fat-ass contract! You give a whole lot of people a LOT to laugh about! Either YOU ruined Jimmy, or Jimmy was never that good,…either way, keep it up Chunky!
Pitt cant stop final WVU drive…
…thus taking a bit of the shine off next weeks game between UCincy and those disappointing Panthers. Pitt QB Bill Stull was a mediocre flop today, and the result is a loss for the Bearcats.
The WVU Mountaineers defeated the Pitt Panthers 19-16 in a game that will send Pitt OUT of the top 10, and tarnish what will be a Bodacious Bearcat Beatdown next weekend. Tony Pike and the boys sunk Zookers Illini as Pike fired 6 TD passes, and probably earned Brian Kelly another bonus tier with the Notre Dame Athletic Director.
All that needs to happen, is either F$U to trip up Tebow and the Gators in Tim’s final home game tomorrow, and/or for Nebraska to play out their asses and dump the 2009 Heisman winner Colt McCoy and his Longsteers on their asses. Sure, long shots, but how jacked up will F$U be to pull of their 1/2 of the formula? Beat Teeb’s in his last home game, last regular season game, and thump his chance of playing out his career in yet another BCS Title game!??!?! The motivation will NOT be in short supply tomorrow in G’ville! (CBS 3:30pm, for those who don’t know)
TCU gets New Mexico, or New Mexico A&M Tech State?; The only chance of an upset there is if The Texans show up in the Lobo’s place…..Everyone who blew Utah’s horn last year is in LOVE with the Horned ones this year, naturally! Anything to deflect! After all, they beat Clemson and Virginia this year!
There is hope, but its fading unless a few things happen. I for one, was very impressed (again!) with the UCats today, and Mr Pike’s great home finale! If they don’t get to play for the Nat Title, then I hope they get Jawja Tech or those (now) beloved Horned Frogs/Boise State Broncos. I also hope Kelly has the decency to divert attention away from his job status to NOT let it interfere with the prep work going into Bowl season. Can you imagine if Urban and Kelly both decline the job? Then its a race for J Hairball and Gary Patterson. THEN!,..man, if THEY turn it down as well?….Big Butt might just get to keep his job, to help ND save face!…..but, naaahhh, one of those guys will up and take it…..just hope its Hairy or G-Pat.
Its November, must be time for the PAC10 whine!
Oregon and Arizona played a thriller last Saturday (11.21.09) and the game went into overtime, before Akili Smith hooked up with Tony Hartley to end it 145-142! It was an NBA all-star game for gawd’s sake!…OK, so Akili Smith and Tony Hartley weren’t there, and it was Jerimiah Masoli who ACTUALLY guided the “Ducks” to that big win. It was a good game, but let’s stop the tired old “West Coast Bias” chant that gets SOOOO much play EVERY freakin’ year. Oregon with a HORRIBLE performance against Boise State to begin the year, and a dump game against Stanford, is sitting 8th in the latest BCS STANDING. They ARE going to play THE Ohio State University in the beloved Rose Bowl, and it should be a great game. Deserving of the Rose Bowl! Outside that?…STFU already with that silly ass “WAH” crap about how those on the East Coast don’t value the late night Pac10 games. There are, what, 27 Div 1 teams west of Texas?…and some 90 teams “East” of that? USC and Boise State (thanks to their schedule) are the top two teams? Yeah, ”Eastern” folks should care MORE about what’s going on out there….Oooh, how do we resist that draw? I also missed Air Force and Idaho State playing a few weeks ago – They must be devasted!
You cant swing a dead cat in any State in this Union, without hitting a gaggle of writers willing to blow Pete Carroll’s horn, and lend him every credit known to a Head Coach; but, we should pay more attention to late night OT thrillers in AriZONA!! Yeah, they’ve been relevant since never! They get “breakfast” Football out there, and they’re complaining!? Every Year they get the Rose Bowl!…and,…and,…FSU in the Emerald Nuts Bowl? What else do they NEED? Plus, how many of those fish taco eaters are even watching our noon games out there? Bias hypocrite mother F-! Seventy-five percent of the population lives East of the Mississippi, shouldn’t we have interests of our own? Isn’t it conceivable that there are more good teams in that region?…NO?..oh, my bad!
side note: Jay Cutler is a douchebag little bitch,…sure, you already knew that. He just TJ Houshmandzadeh’d his coaches with that feminine hand-throw gesture in the NFL night game. Bengal fans know the move!
I’ve seen more Oregon games than (I believe) 99% of “Duck” fans have seen Gator games!…..With 2 losses and NO chance to move into the top stops, why should it matter? I appreciate what they’ve done, and I dont think “JUST” because they are West Coasters that they stink,..so…end it!…End that cheesey crap ass talk about lack of respect! Maybe putting that fruit loop QB Harrington poster up in Time Square a few years ago was a bad move? I’m not saying that IS the reason, just maybe! Its been 18 years since a team NOT called the Trojans even played a part in the National Title picture! Washington’s split Title with Miami in 1991 was the last team that won the thing! No, they deserve more love…yeah,..more.

UCats fans,..is the party over?
Brian Kelly has done a very admirable job in Cincinnati since he arrived, and started talking about playing for the National Title!…Few outside Cincy noted what he was saying, and, even IN town few figured he was sane or even sober! (noticed how I skipped any reference to Chokin’ Huggins…). THEN!…he delivered! An Orange Bowl birth last year, and now this incredible run with a team the was suppose to be rebuilding! “Rebuilding” is an odd word to use when talking about UCincinnati Football, but that’s permitted after the Big East crown in 2008.
Kelly’s terrific job in town here, spells big trouble for all the “new” UC fans though, thanks to that big hunk of sh.t Charlie Weis and his uncanny inability to produce wins in South Bend! Even with a comically weak schedule, the “Round mound of Crap” can’t win enUFf games (or, ANY BIG GAMES) to keep his job despite an 18 million dollar buyout clause!….Really, how bad do you need to be if the idiots who over-paid you are also gonna over-pay to just F*CKIN’ LEAVE!!! To LEAVE!!,…he’ll get 18 million, after splooging some 4 million+ a year for SUCKING ASS!?!?!…..Sure, from a “Hey but he’s getting 18 million on top of what he’s already robbed from the University” stand-point, its a great thing! Sure, he duped the living sh.t out of that idiot who writes checks for school employees,..but then so did THIS kinda dumb bitch. Charlie has obvioulsy smoked her in this category, but I already mentioned that.
So, Notre Dame is going to pony up and send Fat Ass packing, with an 18 million dollar golden parachute…still hard to believe, but, they are! Now, here’s the UC interesting part; THE man they are going to go after REALLY REALLY hard is your good pal, Brian Kelly. Says WHO?…Says THESE GUYS! So, does he take the cash and replace the (fat) ASH?…probably! Will UC Football perish?….yeah, probably (again!)…..so, you have TWO choices, UCat fans,….Become Irish fans for at least the last 3 games if the regular season, or pony up 2.5 mil a year and keep Kelly in Ucat riches! Well, I guess you could also hope to hell that John Gruden wants the job in South Bend…hhmmm, this here says NO
Hey, don’t get mad at the messenger, as a Gator fan I’ve been going thru this every year Tubby-ass has BEEN in South Bend! That load of shit has just kept on Failing! Heck, they might still go after Urbs, but they’re gonna like Kelly’s offense (not a spread) much “more gooder” than Meyer’s. ME?..I’m gonna hope he loses AND they keep him, figuring 18 MILLION DOLLARS is just too much damn money to hand a failure as he leaves!…..I’d hope they’d be more interested in losing and making him pace the sidelines, then follow that up with pressers where he makes a complete ass of himself, than they are in making a change…you know, get your money’s worth!
Sorry Charlie,..aka: “Pear Bryant”, or Mr .593!
Navy dumps The Irish 23-21, maybe spoiling the Irish shot at the big Bowl game payoff. I say “maybe” because, well, when you “ARE” Notre Dame you only suck ass until your next win….regardless!
ITs not like they didn’t have EVERY OP to make it to the BCS level Bowl(s),….being Notre Dame and all. The rules for them are “special”, in that they don’t have to win a conference, play a conference Championship game, and don’t even have to reach the top 12 Like Boise State, TCU and the like. They, ND, only have to finish in the top 14 to “earn” an auto bid to a BCS game, despite what everyone else has to do. Add to that, they they’ve been as successful in Big Bowl games as “Pear’s” lawsuit was against the Doc’s for his failed gastric bypass surgery!, and well….- Apparently Irish fans just love to watch their team lose BIG!
Charlie Weis Notre Dame Record – (35-24)
Ty Willingham winning percentage – (.583)
Bob Davie winning percentage – (.583)
Charlie Weis marquee wins – 0
First loss to Navy since 1964 – (2007)
Second loss to Navy – (2009)
Finished 2007 season last in D-I in offense.
Highest 2 season loss total ever (2007-2008)
First lost ever to an 8 loss team (Syracuse 2008)
Lost Senior Day game at home to a lame duck coach (Syracuse 2008)
Now 0-5 against annual rival USC
Still, Chunky Weis in his 5th season at “The Dame” has yet to have a “BIG” win or finish a season with any level of achievement. His lone Bowl win is against a sub-average Hawai’i team and he has a very Div-Two level success against top 25 teams! Still, his Pear’ness maintains the special status title as; – Head Coach!
Purdue is his “biggie” so far this year ( by 3), and his other conquests have been; Washington (by 7 in OT), Washy State, Nevada, Boston College (by 4), and Michy State (by 3). His losses; USC (again!), UMichy, and Navy (for the 2nd time in 3 years!). No, Notre Dame has gotten EVERYthing and more out of this hire!…Yeah, he didn’t dupe them and then deliver NOTHING!
Games remaining on the schedule include to “away games” against Pitt and Stanford, and a “home game” against UConn. UC rang Uconn up for something like, 4300 yards thru the air in their win over the hapless Huskies. So look for Clausen to get back into the Heisman race after that one (maybe he wont fumble at he goal line in THAT home game)! Five years, and the magic man has failed to deliver ONE signature win…ONE!. How he’s not being sued for malpractice is nothing short of a mini-miracle! Notre Dame fans have become the Chicago Cubs of College Football. The biggest difference being, of course, the Cubs wouldn’t “make” the post season based conclusively on their 1940′s success , TV contract, and Rabid fans who fight tooth and 3-leaf clover for respect, without having beat anyone!
I’m not exactly sure that Florida will make it to the National Title game (again) this year,…I know, tears and sorrow all around,…sure. But one thing IS certain. Five years ago two coaches took over programs that were mostly under achieving,….One has won 2 National Titles and is still in the running for a third, while the other is still struggling to play in one of the 14 post-new Years bowl games– despite top recruiting classes the last 4 years!….Well, and the special considerations ONLY enjoyed by Notre Dame! When will the excuses end, at the “Bend”?….No, wait!….Its Ty Willingham’s fault (still), right!?!?!?
