Weis, Notre Dame in big need of win

Hopefully Navy puts a beat down on them! Funny that Weis should take over calling the plays now that Navy and Syracuse are up next on the schedule. Too bad Willingham wasn't given more chances. Hmmm...wonder why not??

I've been a notre dame fan for over forty years. And they've given me some great memories. But, lately, I find myself rooting against them, hoping they'll lose. Weis thought he was above all the college coaches. After losing that classic game to Southern Cal, he was quoted as saying he'd never lose to them again. And, after this year, he finally may be able to keep that promise...after he gets shellacked. My brother's favorite team is the trojans, another program who has a know it all coach. Over thirty years ago, we promised ourselves one day we'd go to see this game. In two weeks, it'll finally be here. We have our tickets, and now we both don't wanna go. Charlie, did you ever sit down with Lou Holtz????. He'd have you believing he couldn't beat the little sisters of the poor. Now you just got a poor football team. Weis must go. Go Navy!!!

GO NAVY!!@

If Navy wins, bye bye weis. GO NAVY!

Charlie Weiss is a good coach and a classy guy. Three years ago he ignored the media after the Navy-Notre Dame game so he could stand with the Midshipmen as they played "Navy Blue and Gold" I wish him all the best but not this week! GO NAVY!!

Notre Dame will be a wreck for years after not 1 but 2 hotshots have crashed and burned. The Paul Hornig (Golden Boy) comment is correct no matter how anti P.C. it sounds. ND will be at a perpetual disadvantage since few city prospects can meet the rigorous academic prerequisites.

Notre Dame will never again be a perrenial threat.

I was at the welcome home victory rally for the Navy team when they came back to Annapolis from beating Notre Dame in 1961 -- the last time they beat Notre Dame two years in a row. I'll be at the game on Saturday, hoping to see history repeat itself. Go Navy!!!

I doubt they show Weis the door. Maybe next year if there is no improvement. They can't blame it on Ty forever.

Being an independent isn't helping either. The schedule doesn't exactly prepare them for USC. Syracuse is pitiful. But for an indy against the major conferences it's hard to find an opponent late in the season.

I'll say it: If Charlie Weiss were an Afro-American, Notre Dame would have canned him by now.

Glad they hired Charlie and gave him extension. I hate Notre Dame and everything about it.Catholic school.... pedophiles!

Of course some idiot thinks race matters Ty Willingham was in idiot and should never have bbeen hired in the 1st place... moron!

I have been a Notre Dame fan for 50 years but this fat, arrogant joke of a coach must go!!!!!!!!!!

Fat Fart!!! Charlie Weis. I can't wait until he's GONE!!!He thinks he's above everybody...What he should do is quite coaching for about a year...And start taking care of his weight problem before the weight problem takes care of him!!!!!

I went to Notre Dame as an undergraduate. But I respect the US Navy. My grandfather, a WWII US Navy Veteran, is my surrogate father since my parents had a failed marriage. He is 84 and served briefly on the USS Enterprise in WWII. He was mostly on a US Destroyer in the South Pacific. Unfortunately, those WWII Veterans are fast passing away since most are now in their 80s. I've got to go visit him soon before the end comes.

I think Weis needs to try and save his arteries rather than focusing on football. I studied public health in graduate school and know for a fact that he is at high risk for cardiac disease and hypertension. The losing games probably just make it worse by raising the allostatic load. Navy played fantastic yesterday. Notre Dame still has to play Pittsburgh and Stanford, which are very tough teams right now.

To be fair, ND could improve dramatically next year. But Weis' arteries are getting narrower by the day. Sometimes I wonder if Weis will live into next year. Cardiac disease and obesity are serious epidemiologic problems.
