Notre Dame looked great!
And by great, I mean still shitty.
Quite a performance by Clausen, Weis and the rest of the fun bunch. There are few things that are legal that I find more entertaining then reading the ridiculous bullshit that is offered up by Notre Dame fans these days.
All the discussion from ND Nation pretty much falls into two categories at the moment. You have the Weis supporters, who somehow were able to explain away a 3-9 season that saw Notre Dame produce a football team that was literally one of the worst in the nation. They were ranked 119 out of 119 Div. 1-A offenses last year and set the NCAA record for most sacks allowed. Strong!
These assholes were somehow able to blame Ty Willingham for a 3-9 season three years after he'd been canned. That's like saying the Carter administration is responsible for the current lousy state of the economy.
On the other hand, you're also getting plenty of ND fans that have seen enough of Weis' horrendous coaching. Yet again, Weis demonstrates that he doesn't understand the value of a win over "going-for-it" to prove a point. To who he's proving these points, I'm not sure. The Irish passed up a short field goal against San Diego State that would have essentially sealed the game and instead went for it on fourth and...about four if I remember correctly.
Let's be clear about one thing here, San Diego State is not a good team at all. They lost to some California high school last week and had lost roughly eight defensive linemen coming into the game at South Bend.
Yet there were the Aztecs leading the game going into the fourth quarter, about to go up 20-7 before the SDSU RB pulled a 'Mike Hart' and fumbled inside the one yard line.
The "bring Skip Holtz to Notre Dame" campaign has already begun. Lou's son is busy turning ECU into a nationally relevant team out of thin air. I have absolutely no doubts that if the Pirates and the Irish were to square off right now that Holtz would easily best Weis' miserable excuse for a big-time football team.
A really mediocre Michigan team is going to beat Notre Dame next week. The expectations that accompanied Notre Dame into the current season are going to be the impetus behind the removal of Charlie Weis. They failed to improve at all last season and more of the same is going to turn even the most bone-headed Irish supporters against Mr. Front Butt.
