Somehow this seems about the only way Charlie is going to lose those dreaded pounds.  I thought he was going to have surgery after the ND season?  Is he waiting for his benefits to kick in before he does this?  He would be much happier if it were his large BIF that fell off, that is what he wanted to happen in the first place.

Weis's fatness was just part of what made him a perfect foe.  His incredible arrogance ("You'll have a 14-point schematic advantage"), complete lack of humility and phony attempts at sounding articulate (including some Alanis Morrisette-esque uses of "ironic"), coupled with his fatness, made him the best coach to hate ever.  He was almost a cartoon villain. 

Fortunately, we still have Dantonio, Hope and Zook to provide us with some good villainy this season.

We mock him for being fat, but we only do so because he is a huge jackass.  If he was 190 pounds, we'd mock him for something else.  His weight is just the biggest target....
