I think therein lies the difference between Jim Tressel and Charlie Weis:
Substance versus image management.
Thank God we got Tressel.

Notre Dame SOS, history, Charlie's weight, opinions (not football)

This thread is supposed to be about Notre Dame football in 2006, and not about last year's Fiesta Bowl, Weis' weight, whether CW or JT has visited more sick kids in hospitals, etc. Please try to keep on topic. If you want to engage in name calling, chest thumping, joke telling, or anything else not relevant to ND football in 2006, then take it elsewhere.
And while we're at it, try to show a little bit of class toward our ND guests. While NDC (in particular) can be annoying at times, he is not (usually) a flamer or troll, and he obviously wants to be here (for whatever reason). So, cut him some slack, and remember, personal attacks against any member of BP (even our ND fans) may subject you to a warning or infraction.

Why do we have a thread for NA that only blows sunshine up it's ass then? They have wealthy fans that can afford to make their own website.

I think CW is an A-hole. It isn't because he coaches ND - it is because of things he has done.
Next year I look for ND to struggle. They play the meat of their schedule early and that is difficult with a new QB. CW will take some serious heat.
But ND is recruiting well. 10 players last year rated in the top 10 at their position and four more so far in this class. They will continue to get better and in a few years may be a legitimate NC contender.
If/when ND turns that corner will will hear a cry from Domers of "I told you so" and demands for apologies.
You wont get one from me because no matter how much he wins CW will still be an A-hole.

Apparently, you only see the two extremes...namecalling BS or blowing sunshine.
Most normal people can have a conversation and even a disagreement/debate without doing either.
That is the intent here. If someone doesn't like ND or this thread, that is their choice and their right. I would simply suggest avoiding the topic as it is also our right to run this site the way Clarity and the Administration has outlined.
No harm, no foul. However, the expectations are now known by all.

There shoulda been a "like it or not" before that sentence 
What if we cant speak of Notre Dame without having an episode of tourettes 
Can we have a "I hate Charlie Weiss" thread? And not mention ND in it?
No I am not being difficult, just lightening the mood.

Notre Dame will be absolutely demolished in their bowl game. I know it's cliche to say Notre Dame is overrated by they really are. They would struggle to go to a bowl game in any conference.

Yeah, name me a conference that plays teams like Michigan, USC, MSU, Purdue (Yes, they've sucked the last two years along with MSU's mid season meltdowns) year in and year out, and usually schedules a few other tough teams each year too? We've played Tennessee quite a bit in recent years, we've played Florida State in '02 and '03, Nebraska and Texas A&M in 2000 and '01. We had LSU and Oklahoma a few times each in the late 90s along with more Tennessee, Texas in '95 and of course the ol' Buckeyes a few times there. Name me a decent team OSU has played outside the Big 10 since Notre Dame, aside from Texas...UCLA....maybe? | |
