I couldn't get through that b/c it was too difficult to listen to- what a whiny losing loser.
September 13th, 2009 at 5:27 PM ^
Sorry, tried to watch the video, but all I heard was air escaping his folds.
September 13th, 2009 at 5:28 PM ^
- "not including personnal fouls i'm going to send in... a couple of punches to the face after plays were over"
"I'm not going to complain about those holding calls" was for good laughter
September 13th, 2009 at 5:33 PM ^
If he said he's not going to complain about certain things, but goes on to list the things he's not going to complain about, doesn't that essentially mean he is complaining about those things, rather than not mention them at all?
September 13th, 2009 at 5:37 PM ^
No, no, no, you have it all wrong. He is certainly not complaining because this is Charlie Weis, and Charlie Weis doesn't make excuses.

if your mother asked you about your day at dinner, and you said "horrible, i won't even mention how bad dinner tastes," you aint getting dessert, your point was made.
September 13th, 2009 at 5:31 PM ^
Does anyone know for sure what official ruling on the field was for Allen's touchdown? I thought that the one official called him out on first glance, while the other called a touchdown. What was called on the field definitely effects whether ND has any right to gripe at all. I'll admit that one angle looked very close, but another angle looked like his foot clearly hit white.
Also, I would like to say that I am sick and tired of every single ND fan/coach/etc saying "well we can't say the officials cost us the game but here are five times that they did actually." If you mean what you are saying about officials not being the reason you lost then you should just stop right there. What is the point of bitching about officials for ten minutes if, according to you, it didn't affect who won?
September 13th, 2009 at 7:24 PM ^
They were lining up for the extra point when Coach Rodriguez called a timeout.
September 13th, 2009 at 5:31 PM ^
is "not going to complain"
But he will damn sure bring up every single call he has a beef with.
Like how he said he needed to be careful because he has B10 officials coming in this week.
Charlie, after the breaks you got in the '05 game we can call it even.
September 13th, 2009 at 7:33 PM ^
He's only complaining b/c he's on the hot seat. He can only f up 2 more games this year and he's gone b/c 8 won't get them to a bcs. Who wouldn't complain. But, if he really wants to get technical nd had a couple more holding calls they didn't even get penalized for. They are crying way too much.
September 13th, 2009 at 5:32 PM ^
What a whiner. I'm not going to get to ticky-tacky, but I'm going to spend the next 10 minutes whining about it. That's the definition of a sore loser.
September 13th, 2009 at 5:35 PM ^
SO-RE LO-SER
clap, clap, clap-clap-clap
September 13th, 2009 at 5:37 PM ^
and take his medicine...which is like seven bacon double cheeseburgers.
September 13th, 2009 at 5:37 PM ^
Too bad the tape won't show all the shit talking his two receivers were doing to deserve the shoves and smacks to the helmet.
tears, tears for old Notre Dame!
September 13th, 2009 at 5:48 PM ^
That must be an enormous hot seat. I mean colossal and supernova hot!
September 13th, 2009 at 9:32 PM ^
And I bet it smells like baked beans. Warm, smelly baked beans. With cinnamon.
September 13th, 2009 at 5:54 PM ^
What's sad about this is that this complaining about the calls and "coulda shoulda" grumbling disrespects an absolutely amazing effort by his OWN team, and a great game.
You want to inspire your boys for the rest of the season, after they played their hearts out and went down to the wire in a who-had-the-ball last contest? Or do you want to act like they lost a game against a bad team helped out by the referees?
Because: EITHER Michigan stinks and wouldn't have won without the calls, and you should be embarrassed you lost to them, OR Michigan is a good team that matched your team's great effort with its own. Which is it? Did you lose to a real team?
September 13th, 2009 at 6:01 PM ^
for perfectly describing why I loath Weis so much.
September 13th, 2009 at 6:31 PM ^
requires effective management of expectations. You're spot-on here... the meta-message will only be bad for morale.
September 13th, 2009 at 5:57 PM ^
On the 2nd and 10 bomb that didn't work at the end of the game:
"You call a play that's worked almost every time you've thrown it"
- in the second half, it was unsuccessful way more times than it was successful.
"It looked to me like I should have gotten a little help"
- you should not need "help" - it is or it isn't Pass Interference. No "help" needed. And in this case, both players were interfering with an equal chance at getting the ball.
September 13th, 2009 at 6:03 PM ^
"There's a couple of things that were blatant that I just don't get."
Like the fact that your line holds like no other or the fact that you are a crappy coach. Or maybe that you should, you know, pause the tape where he was near the out-of-bounds line to see where his foot actually is. Or that you are morbidly-obese.
I'm just curious as to what he's referring to.
September 13th, 2009 at 6:04 PM ^
what an asshole. I'm not saying he's an asshole, But he is an asshole. I'm not saying he's a crybaby. I'm not saying he's the fattest waste of space to ever walk the sideline. He's worse than the fans.
September 13th, 2009 at 6:23 PM ^
Seriously, and ND fans wonder why people hate Weis so much. The officiating is irrelevant when the other team scores 38 on you with a true freshman quarterback.
September 13th, 2009 at 7:56 PM ^
Well put. I wonder where the ND defense was? They get a shutout against Nevada, who was statistically the 5th(?) best offense in the country last year, then give up 38 to a team who was statistically near the bottom? With the aforementioned true freshman quarterback and without one of their best WRs.
ND lost. Weis needs to stop crying about it and get ready for MSU or he's really going to have something to cry about next weekend.
September 13th, 2009 at 6:25 PM ^
He just kept saying that he wasn't complaining, and then going on to do exactly that. He's setting a pretty bad example for his team. What a baby. And he acted like his terrible late game play calling had nothing to do with the result.
September 13th, 2009 at 6:35 PM ^
Then how about all the holding calls ND was committing on us? If there was bad officiating in favor of us I'd call it even with all the clutching and grabbing that the ND O-line was committing.
September 13th, 2009 at 6:37 PM ^
This reminds me of the 2006 postgame, when Weis took "full reponsibility" and then spent several minutes going on about how his players let him down. What a dick.
September 13th, 2009 at 6:39 PM ^
What a loser. ND gets more calls from the refs than any other school in history. The paranoia about Big Ten refs calling the next game is just hilarious. He's already setting himself excuses for the next loss. Good luck with your coach, ND. You need a new one.
September 13th, 2009 at 6:41 PM ^
Damn, hit my space bar on accident right after posting and it doubles up on me. Must be the Big Ten refs fault.
September 13th, 2009 at 6:41 PM ^
I have three comments...
The officiating for this game favored Notre Dame IME.
The officiating in this game was also good.
Charlie Weiss is a whiny fucking douche bag.
September 13th, 2009 at 6:45 PM ^
He authors a book titled "No Excuses" then states I am not going to complain, then complains. Then he states, "I am going to be a Tattletale" I am sending these personal fouls in. During the Blue Gold Game this Spring, Pear Bryant states then comes Michigan with ALL THEIR EXCUSES, "To Hell With Michigan."
To Hell With You, Chuck U Farlie.
September 13th, 2009 at 6:48 PM ^
Did anyone else see a strong resemblance to the Pillsbury dough boy at the end of the video when he's laughing?
Seriously though, what a prick. I hope he gets fined for criticizing the officiating.
September 13th, 2009 at 6:52 PM ^
Im kind of expecting MSU to murder them next week. They will be uber-pissed and ND will still be complaining about the officiating
September 13th, 2009 at 7:36 PM ^
Weis will have ND ready to play next week. If ND loses, he's done. I expect MSU to lose by at least 10.
September 13th, 2009 at 9:46 PM ^
I disagee with your premise that Weis is capable of getting his team "ready to play."
September 13th, 2009 at 9:45 PM ^
i want an MSU victory too, but i don't want them to beat the irish more than we did. i'll take a 1-3 point victory in favor of MSU
September 13th, 2009 at 7:13 PM ^
FrontButt is a such an f'n clown. He sits there the whole time with that smug shit eating grin on his face, and refuses to give any credit to UM. Since the bariatric surgery didn't work he should try the AIDS diet.
September 13th, 2009 at 7:13 PM ^
I would like to see somebody ask RR about this just to see his reaction. He'd probably say nothing, but an "aw-shucks" smile is all I would need.
September 13th, 2009 at 7:23 PM ^
a meatball sub and I'm sure everthing will be all better.
September 13th, 2009 at 7:40 PM ^
..a meatball sub; he eats the entire menu. And the person who had the misfortune of serving it to him.
September 13th, 2009 at 7:42 PM ^
just get ready for MSU and hope that floyd can go. they're better than everyone else on their schedule. yes. that includes USC. USC has a safety that can stay with those WRs but they don't have the corners. they also don't have the offense to score with ND since they have barkley back there at QB. having said all that, if USC blows ND out at south bend i'll be here to eat crow. but based on what i've seen so far, ND should finish the season with one loss.
September 13th, 2009 at 7:52 PM ^
I'll accept your opinion that ND can beat SC because I was very unimpressed with SC's offense last night. However, Pinkard and Thomas are both bigger corners that can run with Floyd and Tate. Both of those guys are fast and Carroll will dial up press coverage with both of them. There won't be a gimpy midget of a cornerback for ND to exploit when they play SC.
September 13th, 2009 at 7:57 PM ^
Had to point it out. It wouldn't surprise me to see Notre Dame lose one or two games they really shouldn't.
September 13th, 2009 at 7:59 PM ^
You bring up some good points, but I will still take USC over ND any day of the week.
September 13th, 2009 at 7:45 PM ^
Charlie and some ND folks are starting to remind me of PSU officating conspriacy theories.
They have a talented team that won just about every statistical battle except for the one that counts. As every Domer knows the score is all that matters.
He was out coached and his team whipped.
No If's and's or Frontbutts....
September 13th, 2009 at 7:48 PM ^
No wonder he is pissed and looking for excuses. RR outcoached him with talent that is a year to two years behind his.
Since this is a Weis bitch-a-thon thread, I would like to cover something that really pissed me off yesterday. Whenever Michigan scored, the player gave the ball to the ref, ran, and celebrated with his teammates. When ND scored, they taunted almost every time, usually with some POS individual celebration. The ND players were more interested in taunting and individual celebration than they were in their team.
THAT is a direct result of coaching, and is a perfect illustration of why RR is a much better coach than Weis. Michigan's motto is "All in for Michigan," while ND's is "there is a M and an E in team, and I intend to fully take advantage of it."
September 13th, 2009 at 8:16 PM ^
IIRC, it was their celebration after the go ahead TD that helped give us good field position for the The Drive.
And Matthews calm-headedness after scoring was a complete class move--and it also says a lot about the discipline of the program as a whole--and we have been led to believe that this is a team of shady characters and thugs, amiright?
Our three biggest rivals suffered late-game meltdowns yesterday and Pryor again failed to deliver in a defining moment (after that absurd Michael Vick comment also)--and the team that is being, or has been, portrayed as Hell's Angles in Shoulder Pads calmy went about its business and stole the moment from them all.
