Count Me Still on the Charlie Weis Bandwagon… Here’s Why
There’s been a lot of chatter in the afermath of Saturday’s humbling loss to Boston College. Now, more than ever, people have begun questioning Charlie Weis’s job status and right now there’s enough to room to have a full 11 on 11 scrimmage on the Charlie Weis bandwgon. For now, I am still on the [...]
How Hot is Charlie Weis’s Seat?
It seems almost unfathomable to think we have gotten to this point in year four of the Weis Era after the way in which Weis started his Notre Dame career, but with the Irish sitting at 5-4 the questions regarding Charlie Weis being on the hot seat have begun to pop up. The reason, of [...]
Should Weis Take a Leave from Notre Dame?
Before anyone jumps on me for asking the question – I didn’t. John Walters of NBC Sports asked the question did in a column on Sunday. The question surprised me a bit since I didn’t expect a headline such as that to appear on NBCSports.com, but since it was there I figured I’d comment on [...]
Clausen Played Through Flu Saturday
Not that it is any consolation or any excuse for throwing four interceptions, but Charlie Weis said Sunday that Jimmy Clausen played through the flu on Saturday and that illness affected his play more so than the ankle injury he was nursing. I think that his problems more yesterday physically were more flu related than [...]
Weis to Resume Play Calling?
Based on what Charlie Weis said Sunday at his press conference, it sounds like he might be resuming play calling duties after handing them over to offensive coordinator Mike Haywood in the off-season. Here is how Weis responded to a question about how to fix the offense. No, I’ll know after I talk to the [...]
Boston College Crushes Notre Dame… On the Field
Notre Dame may have won Friday night’s hockey matchup with Boston College, but the Eagles got the last laugh on the football field Saturday night. Notre Dame looked totally and complety lost on offense and were shut out for the first time this season. The Irish defense held strong all night along and only allowed [...]
IBG: The “Saying A Lot By Asking Obtuse Questions” Edition
Here is my take on this week’s Irish Blog Gathering. I missed last week’s in post World Series Championship bliss, but I’m back at it this week. This week’s is hosted by Her Loyal Sons. 1. What photo of some member of the 2008 Irish squad doing something, anything at all, really, says all 1,000 [...]

Corwin Brown Wants Irish to Kick BC’s Teeth In
Corwin Brown was pretty fired up at his press conference yesterday according to Michael Rothstein’s Irish Insights blog. When asked about Notre Dame’s lack of tackles for loss this year, Brown gave a lengthy response and ended it by saying he would love to see his defense kick Boston College’s teeth in. “What do I [...]
Blanton To See More Playing Time?
Freshman Robert Blanton was on the field for almost the entire overtime on Saturday in place of 3 year starter Terrail Lambert and the move could become more permanent from the sounds of Charlie Weis’s Sunday presser. He did a fairly decent job in covering most of the day. A couple tackles he would have [...]
Brad Lidge, World Series Hero
Some of you may have noticed that updates were a little sparse last week and if you have read this website for a while it probably shouldn’t have been tough for you to figure out why. As a life long Philadelphia sports fan I was prett busy watching my Philadelphia Phillies wrap up the city’s [...]
Pitt Post Game Injury Update
Yesterday’s loss wasn’t just painful for Irish fans – a couple Notre Dame offensive linemen got banged up during the game. Chris Stewart, Trevor Robinson, and Eric Olsen each got hurt at different times throughout the game, but it sounds like stewart’s injury is the only one that might require any missed time. Weis on [...]
Pitt at Notre Dame – Overtime Notes
Well that’s a first. Game is being delayed slightly while the sprinklers in the opposite end zone go off with Pitt on the opposite end of the field. Does the Irish coaching staff have some faith in Robert Blanton or what? Blanton is out on the field in overtime lining up against Jonathan Baldwin. Irish [...]
Pitt at Notre Dame – 4th Quarter Notes
Three straight plays out of the “wildcat” formation and we have no answer for it. The way Bostic is throwing the ball today why even line him up under center again? After dominating this game everywhere but on the scoreboard for the first three quarters, the game is now tied. McCoy had 35 yards on [...]
