The hillbilly stereotypes about West Viriginia are starting to get really old. The fact remains that is that James Dickey set “Deliverance” in Georgia, so the use of that actor’s image is not factual. If West Virginia’s are so ignorant, why did they choose the right side in the Civil War?

I miss Marjoe Gortner. He was really good in “Starcrash” (In Italy: Scontri stellari oltre la terza dimensione) as well.

I guess that would make it all the more pathetic that y’all are still trying to cash those out-dated double coupons then.

(FWIW, I’m an Ohio expat, people with brains being one of the state’s chief exports in recent years.)

Hey devilgrad….

Big Bear went the way of the dodo a while back…similar to the concept of SE Michigan providing any economic value to the rest of the country…

Hey Pants, did you even watch the piece or are you simply regurgitating the idiocy over at the Ozone. He didn’t say that he couldn’t be outcoached. He said that wouldn’t admit that any coach was better than he was. There is a huge difference. Is Charlie arrogant – yes, but is Charlie stupid – no. It is all in how you phrase things. Next time clean your ears out, but then again you are going to hear what you want to here.

“I think the only question that needs to be answered at this point is ‘How much bubblegum and toothpicks will be holding together Hart’s body on 11/18?’ ”

I thought the real question was whether y’all were going to spring for new foam coolers from the Big Bear or just rinse and re-use.

i’m just saying-

Good points- my initial post was in reference to the fact that this was a “puff piece” and that 60 minutes really asked no “tough questions”. After watching their attack-dog tactics on most of their interviewees, I was hoping for some actual insight.

I didn’t really have any issues with Weis’ answers at all, though I think merely acknowledging that, on occasion, SOMEONE in college football may outcoach him for a game wouldn’t be so horrible. There are a few pretty good coaches in college football…Now, if he said he would never be outworked it would be a little more realistic…

I would implore anyone maintaining such to please re-watch the Weis fluff piece and tell me where he claims “I can’t be out coached”.

One might be better served paying more attention to the asinine question the interviewer asks: “Is there anyone in college football you think that can out-coach you?” and then asking themselves what coach at a major football program would respond to that any other way than deferentially?

Weis’ words: “I would not give that up. I would not want to think that somebody’s gonna out-coach me.”

Not wanting to think you can be out coached seems quite different than claiming you cannot be out coached. Moreover, Weis has himself admitted he was out coached in the Fiesta Bowl, most recently during an interview a few weeks ago on the NYC radio program “Mike and the Mad Dog”. It seems to me that he certainly has a swagger and brashness that lead to many negative reactions, but also consistently takes responsibility for his actions, including his mistakes and shortcommings.

To me, that sounds like the ideal dispostion of an effective football coach. But them’s just my two cents.

“Perhaps tOSU fans just like to pretend that they’re as good as Michigan. ”

OSU fans dont have to pretend…they typically show up to games regardless of the weather….oh wait…Where were all of the fans at this weekend’s NW game?

It kind of looked like the Big House had sprung a leak, but i digress…

I am sure there will be much less of this talk after UM is greeted by “The Efficient Killing Machine” aka (OSU Offense) on 11/18.

I think the only question that needs to be answered at this point is “How much bubblegum and toothpicks will be holding together Hart’s body on 11/18?”

Huh? Weis is the one who “cannot be outcoached” I merely brought up empirical evidence otherwise….I’m sure his “gameplan” was also to play like crap against a pathetic MSU team in order to come back for a classic win as well…ditto UCLA…

Don’t worry, I’m sure ND will once again get to a bowl game it doens’t really belong in, and once again get shellacked…it’s like death and taxes…

As for OSU, we’ve managed to outscore our opponents 323 to 66 this season…I’m not too worried about watching USC or ND in the NC game…And if the unthinkable happens and we lose to Michy, hey maybe we’ll get to play ND again! That’ll be a (cough cough) great bowl game there….

I’m glad Princeton got it’s moment on the blog – if only in a link. That formula made me want to throw up al over the screen though.

Can’t figure out why tOSU is still fixated on the Fiesta Bowl where a no-D ND was 1 TD down with 5:27 to go. Texas was the team that couldn’t stay in the game with tOSU.

Perhaps tOSU fans just like to pretend that they’re as good as Michigan. Fair warning: If Michigan hammers tOSU the way tOSU beat Texas, the winner of U$C/ND is going to have more quality wins and a better SOS than tOSU.

There’s a clip titled, “The Pros play on Sundays” in that puff piece. In that clip, regarding his super bowl rings, Weis says, “I always tell my wife that I can get a recruit to look at my hands and sit on my face, I’ll get them every time.” Now, he MIGHT have said “instead of my face”, but I’m really pretty sure it was “sit on my face.”

So now we know how he got the Clausen kid…rim jobs.

Uncool to mock death . . . particularly on Halloween.
