I get sick of Weis’s Assholier than thou attitude

@28
and I’d be willing to bet that you (and everyone who roots for your chosen team) would gladly welcome him to your campus with a parade the likes of which your town has never seen. Before lunch, of course.

#27 – ND rarely lacks in unsportsmanlike penalties or behavior on the field. How about when the ND punt return team mugged the Penn State punter (Kapinos?) or the shot on the Stanford qb (Pritchard?) which was the second of that day?

Whether they’re pussies is another story, but I’m sure there will be plenty of cheap shots.

+1000 cocktails to #13.

I couldn’t help laughing out loud when I read that comment about Weis putting his pants on every morning. I know the Domers hate hearing the fat jokes over and over again but fat jokes never go out of style.

UF Athletic Association 2007-8 projected revenues:

$25M – Gator Boosters
$ 8.5M – SEC tv
$ 2.1M – Marketing/sponsorships
$ 1.4M – Equipment contracts
$16.2M – football ticket sales

Actual revenue is exceeding projections. Laughing all the way to the bank. Thank you, Urban.

So Orson likes both the laid back style of Pete Carroll and Rick Nueheisel AND the assholishness of Charlie Weis and Urban Meyer? Orson is the 13 year old girl who has a crush on every boy in her class.

Yeah, I know, the point of this post by Swindle et al. is to increase site traffic and argue that being an asshole is not such a bad thing for a head D1 football coach so why whine about it. However, I’d like to hijack things a bit and offer up this puff piece on Urban Liar from a local FLA paper. Try to keep lunch down all.

Although ND doesn’t have a lot of thugs who sell coke and beat women off the field, they are going to get a ton of thuggish personal fouls this year, win or lose. I think they are sick of being labeled as pussies, and that fat asshole Weis is too. The Michigan game (week 2) is going to be fun to watch simply because there are going to be a lot of fights after the play. They won’t be able to get down quite like da boyz from da U and kick faces in, but it should be fun.

Love the blog, but was the choice of the word “retarded” intentional? At some other point in the package of stories this guy did on Weis, he mentioned how an “ESPN personality” apologized to Weis for using the word “retard” at a roast.

Weis has a special-needs kid (yah, yah, I know — he’s a saint, etc.) and said “Using that word is like calling an African-American the n-word,” or something like that.

I’ve never seen someone work so hard to look smart while making fat jokes.

At # 19:

Alas, as yet they are but a gauzy and ephemeral dream confection that dances in Charlie’s calorically-engorged brain.

And as for your clarification at # 18, the simple fact is that thugs and criminals consume a higher ratio of fatty treats and empty calories than do the wholesome Opie Taylor-types that Weis currently loses with. Better a 3 and 9 record on the field then nothing left in the training room vending machine but a bag of stale apples.

Charlie Weis�s Gastric Lap Band: Destined to be the next great name posting comments on this site, joining Dumpster Muffin in a pantheon of heroic snark.

Also, it could be the name of a thrash punk band in the greater South Bend metropolitan area.
