ND deletes Weis' losing seasons from books
Sorry if this has already been posted, but...
THIS IS UNFATHOMABLE.

why is this "UNFATHOMABLE"
its essentially a football program you would buy at a game. What fan wants to read about their teams most recent losing season? I don't expect anything different from UM.
? I do not think that means what you think it means.
It does seem like an exercise in ass-covering. It's not the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard of, but it is at least a little ethically ambiguous, when you consider the primary reason for diong so is to help justify the ridiculous contract extension they threw at him. Plus, claiming that it was just "done on the fly" and that "some things were just left out" is pretty insulting.
Not impressive, but neither surprising nor beyond the realm of the imagination.
It might explain some of the Domers' complete faith in old Chuckles. All their propaganda shows he's a proven winner.
seasons weren't his fault. Wasn't the excuse during those times...TW couldn't recruit,that the cupboard were empty when the genuis took charge.
I sure as hell do.
This isn't some football program, it's a media guide. And frankly it's hilarious. The media guide is an extensive, glossy, professionally done source of historical information. Doing it "on the fly" doesn't happen. This stuff is too well-thought out. The hilariousness comes from the fact that this sounds a lot like North Korea claiming Kim Jong-Il routinely scores three or four holes-in-one in a round of golf.
The "Personal Life" section might be the best portion of a Wikipedia page I've ever come across. No wonder he never brushes his teeth: he's too busy staging elaborate musicals.

ND isn't denying that the bad seasons happened. They aren't pulling a Duke and trying to get the NCAA to take them away*. They just didn't mention them in his bio in the media guide. That's not that unusual. Our future media guides probably won't mention much of RR's first season either. They'll probably throw in a line about the Wisconsin comeback and maybe the Minnesota game, and leave out the rest.
(*Duke actually applied to the NCAA to have Coach K's losing season in 1995 taken off his record and charged to the assistant who filled in for him when he had back surgery.)
