SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The assistant to Notre Dame's president shaved her head to protest Tyrone Willingham's firing as football coach, saying she will remain bald until the Irish win a national championship.

"Because when we do, that will be justification for some people of why we fired Tyrone Willingham," Chandra Johnson said. "Not for me, but for some people."

Johnson, 50, assistant to the Rev. Edward A. Malloy, Notre Dame's president, said she shaved her head last Saturday. Johnson, the school's highest-profile black administrator, told the South Bend Tribune she was shocked at the firing of Willingham _ the first black head coach in any sport at Notre Dame.

At least the worms are hairless by design...

If Championship = Hair
Then N.D. Championship = Stylish Wig.

Notre Dame will never win another NC without joining a conference.

The BCS will eventually be tweaked to the point that they have to join.

Mike,

God bless you, your buddies, and the job you do (former Army man myself).

I agree with your BcS point. I'm a Florida Gator fanatic and agree with most fans that it is the only sport left without the champion declared on the field! Without you and your efforts we would all be playing soccer if non-US interests had their way... "Drive On!" "Good-To-Go"... we all support you!!!!!!!1
