college football sacrilege in this post from yesterday. Check out the comments below it.  Florida fan is saying Tebow and the Gators have been slighted by the national media.  I’ve seen it all, now.

The ever arrogant (are we sure he isn’t a perfect fit there?) Notre Dame Coach,  Charlie Weis, is no longer delusional about his job security.  Now, if the Notre Dame fans could overcome their delusions of grandeur…..

That article got me thinking–How overrated has Notre Dame been since Lou Holtz left?

As of today, Notre Dame is 91-67 (playing a usually soft, service-academy laden schedule) in the last THIRTEEN years.  ND will be on its fourth coach in that time span (technically 5th, as George O’Leary was hired in 2001, but resigned 5 days later amidst controversy regarding lies on his resume’) once they can Weis at season’s end. 

That’s seven wins a season on average.  The Irish also have ONE bowl win in that time.  As a point of reference, Arkansas, who is nationally perceived as an also-ran by comparison to ND, has EXACTLY THE SAME RECORD AS NOTRE DAME IN THAT TIME FRAME–91-67–and has played, as a whole, much tougher schedules in the rugged SEC. 

Also, assuming ND finishes 6-6 this season and actually accepts a bowl bid, Arkansas will either have one more, or the same number of bowl wins and bowl appearances the last 13 seasons.  (Ironically, in that time span, ND declined an invitation to a bowl that it deemed unworthy of the Golden Domers’ presence).

Look! That big board with our initials on it has numbers!!!! And, they are counting down!!!!

Leslie Edwin “Les” Miles (born November 10, 1953 in Elyria, Ohio) is an American college football coach and the current head coach of the Louisiana State University football team. Prior to holding that position, he was head coach at Oklahoma State. He was formerly an assistant at Oklahoma State University as well as with the University of Michigan, the University of Colorado and the Dallas Cowboys.To date, he is America’s first mentally handicapped man to coach at the collegiate level. Some believe that he was dropped on his head as a child.

For those of you who missed the battle of Clock Mismanagement Giants, Houston Nutt, and Les Miles, it was one for the ages.  More egregious than spiking the ball to end the game was allowing the clock to run from :27  to :09 before calling a timeout after a 3rd-down play. Luckily for the Mississippi coach, Leslie’s unbelievable blunders covered up a huge one by him–going for a 2-pt conversion (and failing) in the first half with his team trailing 17-15.  The point he gave away almost came home to roost.  This is the type of video that gets a coach, who already has his fair share of detractors, in big trouble.
