Weis presser

[dbldomer]

Q&A to make everybody feel warm and fuzzy:

Q. If I may even ask a follow up to what you've just said, in terms of talking buffer into 2006, etc., have you hit a moment this season where you are more convinced than ever that you can compete for a National Championship next year?

COACH WEIS: I'll be honest with you, I'm kind of disappointed that we lost the two games we did. I'm disappointed we're not in it right now.

So you're talking to the wrong guy if you're ever going to think I'm not thinking that way.

Is there more to his press conferences than what the transcripts show? The transcripts of all the press conferences all seem to end mid-thought. It seems like there is more to them.

I loved the part about recruiting, when Weis said he could care less what the recruiting guru's think.

(Q). Coach, there's never been a situation where Notre Dame already had 19 verbal commitments in recruiting in October. The reports almost seem to be that you've been doing almost too good for your own good and that you have more good players out there than maybe still scholarships available. Are you comfortable with the method and the approach you've had to recruiting?

COACH WEIS: Well, first of all, what do they know? All these gurus that are recruiting, I mean, give me a break. Do they sit there and watch Xs and Os, or are they just watching them play in a high school game?

There's a lot that goes on to the evaluation process. I'm not getting into exact details of recruiting. If you're asking me are there good players out there that we're not going to take, yeah. If you ask me am I happy with everyone who's already said they're coming, absolutely.

So when you're happy with the guys you have, it doesn't make a difference who's out there, they're our guys and they're guys that we want here, so I really could care less, tell you the truth. Doesn't faze me in the least

Q. As far as your week goes, how much of that will you dedicate to recruiting this week?

COACH WEIS: Besides nighttime, it all depends. We have one pending personal issue that's going on that is not personal with anyone here, but one pending personal issue that's going on.

But right now Thursday and Friday look like my days for that. As a matter of fact, we'll wait and see, but it might be with me on the road

I am curious what that is all about...

Really, why should he?

You have to recruit to fit your team, school, coaching staff. Many of the players at USC simply would not fit here, and vice versa. The same can be said of Michigan.

With 19 verbals in October, who cares what these guys think?

I agree, Queens.
