That would have to be a helluva big pod.

That's one enormous pod.

Kevin White just took the AD job at Duke opening up the ND AD position.

Not sure if he was attracted by the superior academics or the superior athletes.

Generally ADs make decisions based on business rationale rather than their old school colors, so I am not worried about Gene Smith - but it is worthy of a mention.

To me, Weiss is like the bizzaro version of Tressel. He puts his teams in a position to lose every game, early in the game. How many times has this jackass gone for it on 4th and not short in the 1st half? I wouldn't dream of doing that with Tom Brady at QB and a pro defense. Offensive genius? I never liked watching the Patriots when he was there (except for Vrabel), but all I can remember is a mind numbing succession of 7yd hitch passes. Nothing particularly impressive as far as play calling. I think the '05 team will probably be the best he'll see at ND. The Irish are gonna be looking alot like IU in the forseeable future. Weiss seems to skate free by just arrogantly denying that anything's wrong. I don't really care, we'll probably never play them again. It's not like they'll make a bowl game any time soon.

A reminder that we have a Notre Dame thread for posts not related to football and a Charlie Weis thread where this kind of post can be made.

Let's stick to football in this thread.

My Physics 131 Prof taught us that if something has sufficient mass, it can theoretically generate sufficient gravitational pull to even bend light towards it. I'm sure that might partly explain why all things whether related to football or not, seem to have a strong attraction to the large mass named Chuck Weiss - especially recruits with really massive egos.

Actually they might just make a bowl game this year.

While Fat Boy isn't exactly the best coach in the world, the guy can recruit. And I seriously doubt Notre Dame will look like old IU here soon. New IU wouldn't be bad because IU will likely make a bowl game also this year.

But can they win it?

It has now been 5,270 days since ND last WON a bowl game.

(2-12 to end the season in the past 14 years.)

I was refering to the current IU status, which I expect will mean hovering between 5-7 wins most seasons, but not more. Yeah, ND might make a higher bowl than they deserve this season. As I said before, Charlie probably had his best team with Quinn, Smajhtxza, Zcaksghaski, et al, and they went 9-3, ending with a serious beat down while Mrs. Hawk looked on with mouth agape. I don't see Charlie "The Body" Weiss besting that result. May get into another BCS bowl due to their "special" status, but isn't ND supposed to be the cream of the crop? Is Claussen going to lead them to a title game? Not if CW can help it.

Can you tell I hate Charlie Weiss?

With all of the talent starting to matriculate to South Bend under Charlie now, he may have enough talent to where he couldn't even screw it up.
