"Although not as devout as Holtz, Weis nevertheless frequented the grotto, and focused needed attention on all special needs kids by openness in talking about his autistic daughter, Hannah. In addition, Weis started a great new Marian Irish football tradition by having his players sing to "Notre Dame Our Mother" after every home game, which, coming at a time when the very president of Our Lady's University displayed a dubious commitment to Catholicism, was especially poignant" --Tom O'Toole.

What makes Navy unique (along with Air Force) is that they make use of the triple option offense.

It’s an equalizer for them considering they’ll play most of their schedule against teams that are stronger and deeper than they are.

Most teams out there (and I also refer to the Top 10 teams like TCU, Florida, etc) would have a hard time defending against the triple option.

........the Irish BCS Bowl hopes,...

When did the word hope become a synonym for laughably ridiculous fantasy?

Good luck appealing to Our Lady for help ND considering: 1. you blocked the view of Touchdown Jesus from the field and 2. you gave a honorary degree to a thug Chicago politician who is more pro-abort than Barbara Boxer. I’m a Catholic who would root for BYU over ND.

The university lost its soul at some point and this year they announced it to everyone. ND is over until they clean house in the administration building and many faculty members.

Maybe they could get his lookalike Chaz Bono to coach them. Couldn’t do much worse.

I lost all respect for Weis when he sued the doctor who performed a lap band surgery on him. Took the jury about an hour to tell him to pound sand. Weis forgot that he was supposed to stop eating like a hog.

Our Pastor holy man that he is suggested to me before Mass yesterday that maybe Charlie isn’t the man for the job.

That’s sort of like John Wooden saying “good gracious sakes alive”.

ND alum will have to pony up a truckload of cash. I am going from memory but Weis has something like $12 or $24 MM still owed on his contract.
