Just said that if ND loses to Pitt, then he will pick UCONN to beat ND next week. I think he knows Weis has to win out....

I think everyone knows weis has to win out.

Agreed, but still shocking to hear Lou say it

 

[mjbirish]

yeah i see what you mean. hearing those words from lou is definitely strange.

He's just doing his job.

He also bet Mark May that if they lost he'd don a PITT jersey for the next show but if they win May has to wear the Blue & Gold. Oh Happy Day!!!

Lou want Charlie to lose so he can coach the Irish again.

Did they really say that? I would love to see that bet. I would hate to see poor Lou in a Pitt jersey though.

Ahh the fullhouse backfield... not gonna work nowadays.

During the Rutgers/South Florida game? Damnit I fell asleep! Thanks though, I'll go hunt for the video. If anyone has a link I would appreciate it.

i wouldnt be surprised at this point if uconn played us close or won, they are the best 4 or 5 loss team in the country. they have lost to good teams and they have done it by the narrowest of margins. a definite bad luck team with a penchant for stealing defeat from the jaws of victory.... but they are not a bad team.

nice job by lou calling it like it is.... its rare that he takes off his rose colored glasses but they are surely off.

I think he is saying if Weis loses this one, he wont be able to keep supporting him.

I know people are going to get pissed for what I'm about to say:

We will lose to Pitt, & Stanford, I'm not sure about Uconn? Remember last year at this time ND started to lose games in November. So I don't see that pattern changing for awhile.

Weis is gone gone next year & so is Jimmy, so that leaves

to square one again.....

Bring on John Gruden....At least he has Head Coaching Experience......

 

[Catsudon]

it's strange for lou to say it. uconn isn't strong compare to pitt, but i guess if pitt wins, that would be a blow to the morale of the team.

picking grass and storming the sidelines watching a well prepared team will work though! obviously my post was in jest earlier and the game has past old Lou by, but fun to think about it. i just hope the Irish win out and Charlie stays b/c i'm sick of the experiments.
