Dennis Dodd has reached a new level of stupidity I didn't think possible, even for him. You guys'll love this one...turns our Charlie Weis is "copying" Urban Meyer...nevermind Weis won superbowls at New England and New York before Meyer was even a head coach...

You know Northwestern has been using this kind of offense for the last couple of years, they just didn't have the kind of success that Utah had, but they did beat Michigan in one of the best games I ever saw.

The best part of the article is that he contradicts himself in the space of 3 paragraphs. First Dodd says, "Florida coach Urban Meyer wasn't there, but his fingerprints were all over the drive. " Then 2 paragraphs later he quotes Meyer, ""Defenses probably in the last five years have become really hard to move the ball against, Look at what coach Weis did at New England. I watched the New England Patriots do that -- mix it up, go (empty)."

That was one of the best games ever, most exciting def.

That was a classic!!!!

What an idiot!! How do you claim Weis copied Meyer's offense and then quote Meyer as saying he watched Weis in NE!!?? How in the f%*k is this guy a senior writer? The must hire anybody to but up letters on a screen to match and make words as they please! Give me a break!

Dodd has a thing about ND. He wrote an article about Florida and still mentioned ND. He mentions ND whenever possible.

He likes the attention, he likes the hate-mail. Just ignore him.

You guys can make fun of him, but Dennis Dodd is a smart man. He knows us ND fans are the greatest in the world, that's why he mentions us whenever possible. It just lets more people read his stuff!

What ever school gave this guy a journalism degree, I'd like to go get my doctrine there. "Fingerprints"? What, the Stevie Wonder song?

The spread Weis is running and the BG/Ute/Urban offense are two different things here, pal. You don't need to know a whole lot about X and O to figure it out.

Again, more people that, when it comes to ND, have no idea what they're talking about.

But IowaDomer is right...stupidity = attention and publicity.

For the record, it was Mizzou. I think he did his undergrad at Kansas. He also has an irrational contempt for KState, along with an irrational fascination with the BigXII. That's fun to follow once you pick-up on it.
