Some Info on Weis' work ethic....

[irishtexan]

i thought I would post this bit of information I found on how things were going in South Bend with the football team...... i took it off a ign ncaa football 2006 gaming board. heres the website: http://boards.ign.com/NCAA_Football_(EA)/b6051/80893147/?19


Hey guys, I haven’t posted in a while. I've been very busy with school. I'm majoring in Business with an emphasis in finance and minoring in interpersonal communication.

Just to let you guys know, the feeling down here in south bend is very exciting. The whole town is buzzed and stoked with Weis. I really didn't care to much about the hire until i heard him speak at a bbal game.

The whole team is getting their asses worked off. From Monday through Friday you can see them running from 5:30-7. After that they lift supposedly. It's really funny watching them stroll around the cafeteria like grandpas.

I've talked to quite a few football players and you can sense the changed attitude. Here’s some random information for you guys: Vernaglia is projected as the starter at LB and he changed his number to 4. They are trying Darrin Bragg out at various other positions like Carlyle holiday. And they are thinking about moving wooden to corner.

If you guys want me to find out something more about the team, here’s the place to ask

Peace

P.s. heres a little video of weis visiting a dorm

I think its good to get little pieces of information like this.

I like the idea of Vernaglia starting at LB. Were pretty stacked at safety.

Wouldn't mind seeing ndukwe switch to LB too, I hear he can really hit hard. he'd only need to gain about 10 lbs to make the move..

It's good to see there trying Bragg out at other positions, Ty would've waited until he was a senior to try him out at another position.

Bragg's brother is a good receiver for UCLA.

I'm interested to see who are starting corners will be, Lambert is supposed to be a true shut down corner, I'd be surprized if he doesn't start.

does anyone know if the 3 players suspended will be back. I'm hearing they will but I havent seen anything concrete yet. All three especially stevenson and hodgeman could really help us out...

The work now will all pay off come Fall. Conditioning will be critical, then the X and O part of it. Weis has such a great game plan that the DEFENSIVE coaches are excited about what he's doing. How often do your hear that?

He would be an awesome linebacker, he'd need to cover the outside though. He's fast but he can still knock the socks off of you if you're not careful.
