My world has turned upside down.

Callahan is a two time loser.

It could be worse.

You could be a Notre Dame fan. 1-8. Just lost to a team that hadn't beaten you since JFK was still alive. Still have 7 years remaining on your coach's expensive contract extension that you would have to buy out.

I'm really enjoying their pain.

Do you think after Charlie signed that extension, he said to himself "It sure is good to be white"?

You know what? Without getting into the race thing.... I'm glad ND is struggling under Weis because of the way they dumped Willingham. The guy didn't do any worse than Bob Davie, who kept his job seemingly forever. Weis won with Willingham's players, so there's something to be said for Ty there.

Yeah, it's been mentioned many times, but I still think it's funny that one of the reasons given for Willingham being fired was that he couldn't recruit, and Weis was given all sorts of praise that he could recruit. Then Weis wins with Tyrone's players, and loses now that his own are playing.

More than anything, Weis was lauded for praise for almost beating USC. Never has a coach been given so much credit for a game he ultimately lost (at home).

It says Willingham couldn't coach. Also, Davie kept his job for 5 (to ty's 3) and in his last season went 5-6 then Ty went 10-3 with Davie's players.

I'm sick of hearing the race thing. They weren't even their first choice, he was only hired after the G-Tech coach was caught lying! God Forbid ND hired an alumnus they wanted and extended him after he went 19-6 in two seasons.

Also, the general praised given to Weis has more to do with his eye for talent than his ability to recruit. The big deal was made about him eying Brady Quinn while Quinn was in highschool and Weis was in New England.

As far as the praise for almost beating USC, well they technically won the game as 'The Bush Push' was illegal and Matt Leinart was down behind the goal line due to forward progress (lack there-of). [note - 'Cheating' happens on every play, not trying to make an excuse or complain about this play in anyway other than to say if you wanna crap on a guy for 'losing' a game realize that by the letter of the law they won they game].

But I'm glad we are such a classy group of people that we take sooooooo much pleasure in other teams (New York, Chicago, ND, Nebraska etc etc). It's not like any ND fan is walking around the board proclaiming how great they are and how much better than you they are, yet you still find the need to attack them? I'm really getting fed up with some of the antics around here.
