NEW LYRICS TO NOTRE DAME FIGHT SONG: YUM, YUM YUM, YUM YUM, YUM YUM…
Wednesday mornings are typically real world busy for us, so accept these two things as apology for our late start today:
–EDSBS Live! went smashingly last night, with stellar appearances by Ted Miller of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, DC Trojan, Kanu, and as always, Ragin’ Cajun Rebel. Listen here for the nearly trainwreck-free broadcast.
–Also, we’re too big to make Charlie Weis fat jokes. We will, however, snigger along as other people make them. (HT: Black Shoe Diaries.)

Allow me to be the first to comment on this piece - very funny, very, very funny! I love Charlie and what he has done with the program at ND; but as he so eloquently put it to Maurice Stovall in 2005 - “Son you need to drop about 25lbs. There’s only room enough on this team for one fat guy, and it’s me.”
I see him as the college football version of Tommy Lasorda - couple of championships as a fat coach, then off to retirement and tons of money by pitching Slim Fast.
Go Irish, Eat Everything.

Weis, Fulmer, Mangino, and Amstutz have all agreed to unite and knock Kobayashi of of his pedestal. No skinny Asian kid should dominate an eating competition in the USA, home of the drinkable donut. They are, if nothing else, patriots.
He ain’t heaaavy. He’s my head coooaaaccchhh.

Well, I just listened to the entire show, and may I say, I am a little bit ashamed of myself. Had I realized that everyone else was so much more accomplished in things upon which they could lecture, I would have at least LIED to make myself sound better. Or at least left midgets out of my rant.
Other than that, great show.

“snigger?” Isn’t it “snicker?” Is that a racially charged version of a chuckle?

Speaking of Weis, Fulmer, Mangino, Coach O, etc, what ever happened to the death matches that you boys were running last year?

I’ve always distinguished sniggering and snickering. Anyone can snicker, but it takes a Muttley to snigger.
(and I so totally dated myself there that it isn’t funny)

I’m sure many of you joined me in expecting this to end with a big stomping foot and the sound of a raspberry, Gilliam-style.

HAHA !
The video of weis is classic. Anyone else think he looks like Jabba the hut and Rosie O’donnels love child? He is certianly fat enough. And he cant beat good teams. Watching ND is like watching a train wreck, but one i enjoy suffering through mediocrity.
ND, returning to glory since ‘93.

Hey, Mr. Black shoes- 41-3. He may be fat, but he whooped the shit out of your boys.
