'Tis the season

Yep, time to start slamming Charlie Weis again.

Critically acclaimed columnist Ian O'Conner has a great piece on Fox Sports' website today discussing Weis. It's worth a read.

My general understanding is that Weis is not quite the asshole he was a few years ago when first entering college football. That doesn't make him any less the douchebag though.

Incredibly, three years after he'd been dismissed from the program, Ty Willingham was still taking heat for the woes of Notre Dame. Let me explain this one more time for those morons that think Willingham is somehow to blame for a 3-9 season.

Notre Dame was literally one of the worst teams in the country last year. Their offense was statistically one of the worst in the country. Offense is the domain of the "genius", Charlie Weis by the way.

The WORST recruiting class Willingham ever produced was still ranked in the Top 50. So essentially what you're saying is that Charlie Weis took Top 50 talent, and turned into a team that finished the season with an offense ranked in the triple digits. Yep, sounds like Willingham's fault to me.

And again, what kind of recruiting classes do you think Navy and Air Force produce? Notre Dame lost to both.

The adorable but insane Lou Holtz stated that Notre Dame will win 10 games and maybe 11 this year. If that happens I'll eat my shoe. Maybe time to switch to extra-strength Depends Lou.

Phil Steele, who actually knows what he's talking about, has Notre Dame as the most improved team this coming season. A big reason for that is the schedule. Notre Dame according to Steele will have the most significant swing this year in terms of strength of schedule in 2007 vs. SOS in 2008.

The other reason is, can you get much worse then 3-9?

Do I think ND will be better then last year? Of course. You can't help but be better.

However, the idiots hovering around South Bend that think Notre Dame could slip into a BCS bowl this year are high. How about ANY bowl first fellas?

There are lots of reasons to look forward to another college football season. Watching Charlie Weis further fuck things up at Notre Dame is near the top of my list.
