CHARLIE WEIS ON THE HOT SEAT!
People are down on Coach Weis. I'm not happy either with the 2007 and 2008 seasons. This has been a tough period for The Irish and people are taking their shots at Weis and ND. I thought Charlie was the right coach for Notre Dame. I've been his biggest supporter. But now I question if he's head coaching material. I question his leadership. I am at a loss as to what is wrong with this program. As head coach Charlie Weis is in the crosshairs. But for how long. I hope he turns things around in 2009. The Bowl win over Hawaii was a nice way to enter the off-season. Note to ND's offensive line: Hit the damn weight room!

I have only attended 7 Notre Dame football games, so far. The first one was in 1982 at Pitt Stadium. I bought a ticket for $40 and sat midway up in the stands along the 10-yard line. It was very cold and crisp and when I saw the Irish come out of the tunnel my knees were shaking. Notre Dame defeated then #1 Pittsburgh and Dan Marino and it is one of my greatest sports memories.
I was actually in the Army broadcast booth in 1995, and broadcast some of the game. Notre Dame held on to beat the feisty Cadets, thanks to Ivory Covington's tackle on Ron Leshinski as the Army tight end tried to score on a two-point conversion with a minute to play.
I finally saw the Irish play in Notre Dame Stadium, a win over Army on November 18th, 2006. Best game day experience ever. Thanks to all the wonderful, friendly and welcoming people that I met. Notre Dame Games Attended By BR.

GO IRISH!
I visited the College Football Hall of Fame on my visit to South Bend, Indiana. Excellent museum that captures the greatness of college football. Loved every minute of my visit there. However, the prices in the gift shop are beyond outrageous.
