Idiots
Today’s post is an homage to some of the idiots of college football.
Notre Dame Head Coach, Charlie Weis
Weis has a standing rule with his football team: don’t provide the opposing team “bulletin board” material. So what did Charlie Weis do this summer? Provide Michigan with bulletin board material. Weis is of course now back tracking, saying he did it out of respect to Bo Schembechler. Sure. I have a slightly different theory. Take a look at what Weis says before the Michigan comment. He says that they will make a statement against San Diego State. Sadly, the statement they made was “Notre Dame football is a giant turd”. He goes on to talk about the excuses that Michigan will have when they arrive in South Bend. Now Weis is making excuses for his lame ass comment. What he’s really trying to do is cover his incredibly large ass, so that after Michigan beats Notre Dame into the ground, he’ll be able to tell people, “I said that out of respect.” If his defensive backs could back-pedal this well, then maybe SDSU wouldn’t have put up 274 yards in the air during Notre Dame’s statement.
New Mexico State cornerback, Davon House
What did Davon do to make it on this list? He boasted that the NMSU DB’s would be well prepared to face the Nebraska receivers, since the receivers they see in practice everyday are “10 times better than their receivers”. Smart move, Davon. Your team has won 8 games in the last 3 seasons and you decide to give Nebraska some motivation for beating the crap out of you. It’s like the smallest kid on the playground telling the 6-4 kid with a beard who’s repeating 8th grade for the 3rd time “Your mom’s a whore.” Before, he would have just beaten you for the fun of it – now he’s got a good reason to beat you within an inch of your life, drag you back a few feet and beat you some more. I’m sure Davon’s secondary mates are real excited to face the Nebraska receivers on Saturday.
Former Cincinnati QB, Matt Mauk
For the love of God, Matt, let it go. You’re not getting another year of eligibility.
University of Washington President, Mark Emmert
If there’s one way to assure that your son will get beat up at school, it’s to ask the bullies not to beat him up. Suddenly, he weeping and trying to protect his head as the big kids punch him and yell “Mama’s boy!” Well, that’s basically what Emmert has done to Tyrone Willingham. I can understand what Emmert is trying to do, but he’s only making life worse for his coach. The average Husky fa will see this as yet another person making excuses for Willingham’s poor performance. To be honest, I’m surprised Washington hasn’t shown much improvement since he arrived. He did much more with much less at Stanford and he had a respectable record at Notre Dame (basically the same record as Charlie Weis through 3 years – just a different skin color). You can point to the schedule as being tough (and it is brutal), but at some point, Willingham has to take some responsibility for not producing. And having his president making excuses for him won’t help with the already blood thirsty fans.
