OT ... Fat Charlie Pops Off

[Wisexuowl]

The Detroit Free-Press gets points for due diligence on this article, which is about a shoddy homemade video on YouTube.
The home movie shows a surly Charlie Weis delivering a speech at the pre-game luncheon before the spring game. In front of a handful of fans and donors, Charlie cracked candidly about his feelings for that lovely academic institution in Ann Arbor:
"And then we'll listen to Michigan have all their excuses as they come running in and saying how they have a new coaching staff and there's changes. To hell with Michigan!"
See you in September Fat Charlie ...

Weis may supplant Gerry Faust as ND's worst hire in recent memory (though, admittedly, that's a high bar to hurdle).

As bad as Charlie is, or may yet be, he'll never approach Willingham's level of overpaid incompetence.

Not so fast, gym. Remember that ND extended Fat Charlie's contract after the first year and they're locked into him for a long, long time. He'll be collecting money even when his arrogant A$$ is dismissed in a few years.

The SS Irish is sinking in Lake Michigan slowly- just like their team speed.

Ty had (has) class.

Fat Charlie learned his "class" and arragance from Bill B.

MOR is right .... the people who run ND will soon tire of his act, and lack of success.

Weis is a fat slob that hasn't won a thing since he lost all of willinghams players, worst team in ND history and people still talk about him among the best cfb coaches...idiots

as far as his comments, he's right on, dick rod is pure scum, and even as a buckeye i was sad to see michigan succumb and hire such a classless fool for a program that has always been classy, losers, but always in a way respectable...so much for the michigan man...it will be great when scum fans come to realize that this idiot is no better at beating governor tressel than his predecessor, and he is a spineless loser.

weis was right on, to hell with scum

You realize Charlie was paraphrasing Bo Schembechler's comment "to hell with Notre Dame," don't you? Guess he didn't learn that "classy" comment from Bellichek after all.

At least Weis appreciates ND's rivalries, something Ty never did (green uniforms were for playing USC, not freaking BC). And if he does fail, which I don't believe he will, Charlie will take responsibility for his failure, something Ty will never do. If you don't believe me, ask Washington Huskies fans.
