New Year, same result

the future has yet to speak- let's see if the "broken records" and 9 win seasons will hold- if so- you have made your point...If not, what a waste of a ten year deal

Glad you're not the one sitting at the button.

Unreal. Ledge jumping, wrist slitting...I'd go to war with none of you.

Tearjerking pessimists and sugarcoating optimists, please stay out of Jigga's way. Try to look at things from an even scale viewpoint. All is not lost, yet all is not peachy.

Yes, let the work on the field next year do the talking.

No s@*t....ND wasn't even supposed to win 9 this year. What was last years record? To turn that team into a 9 game winner was a miracle. Just wait until Charlie gets a couple of recruiting classes under his belt! See ya in the Fiesta Bowl next year!

Another forum where unless you're singing all of the praises there is someone waiting to badmouth you. What was suppose to be a great game turned into a blowout. No crying here, just being realistic. Before you start putting others down, look at the facts. At least you're the resident tough guy amongst the aging alcoholics. I wll always wear my colors with pride.

Peace to all

Ditto!! The quick 10 year contract still doesn't make any sense to me- win the big ones didn't reward CW. He had a good run- but so did many other first year coaches @ ND- and they didn't get any love like he has received- Mind boggling!

I am a little more than annoyed by the cheap shots hurled by you and others about the Weis contract. What ND does with their money is none of your damned business.

Just like any other school, they make decisions based on the best interest of the school and it's athletic programs. That is their prerogative and they are very smart business people, I can assure you.

So stop your sophomoric outbursts or run for the ND Board of Regents where you can have some say on how ND spends it's money!!!

Troubling comments from irishwavend. You cannot cry wolf (say there's anti-Catholicism) and say those type of things. If you do, you are a hypocrite.

Look, Weis got out coached. Whoever said that is right. Whoever the DC was did a poor job. He should have learned from the Michigan game, but instead, he fell into the EXACT SAME TRAPS that doomed us. First, he tried to stop short runs up the middle and medium range passes. So, what does OSU do? They throw it up top. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Next, you need to have a weak side OLB spot Smith in case he runs. What happened on key 3rd and long situations. Smith scrambled for 1st downs. Your DC really screwed up this game. He had a game to go on, but instead he failed to learn from other teams' mistakes. And the offensive playcalling wasn't that great either. Why did Weis abandon the run so early? Why did he try to go up top in the 1st quarter? I mean, did he really think OSU's linebackers were just going to sit there and give Quinn all day? And forget Quinn winning anything next year. He cannot make good decisions under pressure or when the play is busted. This was clearly evident today and when I saw him a while back. Quinn is the beneficiary of Weis, who usually calls great games where first options are always open. Today was an exception, of course.

This game should have been 45-7. I think this is a huge setback for your program. You can't lose by being dominated by the other team (offense, defense, coaching). And what was really funny was Weis saying after the game about gambling. Well, I guess what he meant to say was "OSU is much better, so we have to gamble to win" Yeah, great coach you've got there. I just can't wait until next year when we annhilate you guys in a revenge game.

dude you couldn't even beat Nebraska! Go to hell Wolverine. I guess Nebraska is all-world, huh? Gimme a break loser.

Victors Valient, as far as Quinn not being able to handle the pressure, maybe you should go back and look at some film from the past year. He made good decisions, and didn't lay down when blitzed. He evaded quite a few sacks this year, and then proceeded to make a good pass down field. Why did he try to go up top in the first quarter? Not the first time it's happened this year. Quinn to Sam over the top happened a few times in the first quarter. Then again, I could have imagined the whole thing.

They try quite a few passes over the top to Sam. He usually catches those passes. He dropped it. It happens. Let's talk about Michigan finishing 7-5 and losing to Nebraska. What do you say victors valiant?

Pappy, you make a great point of Quinn in the pocket. Quinns pocket presence this year up until OSU was "Brady-esque" -- the other Brady.

As much as I hate to agree with you, yes, he did. He was rock solid in the pocket. The reason I hate to agree with you is the fact I grew up on the southwest side of Indy, so my loyalties lie with the Colts. Tom Brady is a great quarterback, though, don't get me wrong.

I didn't see much greatness coming out of Weis or his coaching staff. It seemed to me that they were arrogant about it, thinking that what worked throughout the season was somehow magically going to work against OSU.

If you think that the coaching staff was arrogant for thinking that what worked throughout the season would work against OSU, then you obviously don't know what you are talking about, in regards to ND football. Weis (et.al) got AWAY from what worked all season long, in the first half. For some reason, ND wanted to go deep early and often on OSU, instead of throwing the quicker, 7-8 yard slants and fades that had worked all season long. When they did get back to those plays, in the second half, they worked. But, by then, it was too late. I was disappointed in Weis' offensive gameplan for the Fiesta Bowl. But, you know what? The guy has done one hell of a job this year, so I am sure that he had good reason to take his chances early. It just didn't work for him. Even genius is allowed to be wrong once in a while.
