[Book] No Excuses by Charlie Weis

[goirish#1]

I loved the book, and would recomend it to any football fan. It was neat to learn of his trek to the top, from fan to coach of Notre Dame.

Same here a great book on how he got to ND This also was a gift book

I tried to get it a week ago and B&N sold out and won't restock the book until mid August....August?! I read a few pages a couple of monthes ago and It was great. I'm not sure when the book came out but does he talk about his first season at ND at all?

 

[Sir John]

Not a whole lot certainly he keeps things to his vest tightly like Lombardi did.

I have 2 more gift books "The gold Standard", I find it kinda negative, a book by Diggers wife "A coaches Wife." That too takes a few pot shots at ND

I'm gonna get 'No excuses' soon. Are there any other Irish books that are must reads about our football team during the past 20 years or so???

Whoa! Stoney can read?!

Actually (and surprisingly), I'm an avid reader. I just got 50 borders bucks for my b-day, so I want to get a coupla Irish books. I ain't reading Shakespeare or Marx, but I do like my Cussler, Grisham, and Clancy...

 

[GoshenGipper]

I know you like to read. This is a message board after all. I was just taking a shot at you for all of the threads you start that seem to come out of left field.

 

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Left field??

Did you know that dogs and birds can smell fear.

Crap, I think it was bees instead of birds. Oh well.

I found "The Golden Dream" by Gerry Faust pretty good, actually. Even if he wasn't a great coach, the man loves ND and wants only what's best for it. I met him a few years ago at the Bookstore, and he is a great guy. Plus, his dad coached CJ.

Tiny Tim wrote a book and I think it's called "Every Play, Every Day", although I could be wrong. It's pretty good, too. Some of his workouts were nuts. Mendoza shows absolutely no mercy.

No Excuses was awesome, and a rather short read.

I only read one book in my life and it was last year about the Yankee Dynasty. I went lookin for this book a few weeks back and Barnes and Noble didn't have and it won't be in until like mid August I was like Whaaaaattttttt

Thankfully, the Yankee's dynasty is doing pretty awful this year.

Go Tribe!

 

[Sir John]

you will find it's a good book but mostly a rehash of a re hash of what weis said already availble on the net and sites.

I got it from the library, it's a quick read.
