Charlie Weis Never Had A Losing Season

WPIALkid22 — Wed, 20 May 2009 00:45:43 -0000

[Bumped for truly awe-inspiring public relations out of South Bend. Looks like Baghdad Bob found a career after Saddam was overthrown. "South Bend Sammy", maybe? -- RUTS]

According to the 2009 Notre Dame "Spring Prospectus", Weis never took part in a losing season:

"Notre Dame omitted the losing seasons from Weis’ year-by-year biography on page 15 of the 2009 Spring Prospectus and page 90 of the 2008 football media guide. Among the omissions is the Irish’s 3-9 2007 season."

This includes records in the NFL:

"Other records that are missing include the New England Patriots’ 5-11 season in 2000, the 6-10 year the Patriots had in 1995, the 5-11 year in 1993, a 6-10 campaign with the New York Giants in 1992 and two losing seasons at South Carolina: 5-6 in 1985 and 3-6-2 in 1986."

But they gladly give credit for any winning season:

"However, any .500 or better season Weis helped out in, from the 8-4 Gator Bowl season at South Carolina in 1987 to the 10-2 Sugar Bowl year at Notre Dame in 2006, was included."

So more or less, he's never had a losing season, he only takes guys with character, and he's still the best coach in both college and professional football.

[Well, yeah. Obviously. Just ask him. - RUTS]

Hall to OSU

WPIALkid22 — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 07:37:16 -0000

Jordan Hall commited to Ohio State. Not really a big deal here, considering the 5'9 running back from Jeanette was really good friends/teammates with Terrel Pryor. Not trying to created some big discussion, just breaking the news. But one thing I have to say is I'm surprised these guys are commiting so early. I know some of the time they don't stay faithful to their commitment, especially early on, but jeez, was OSU that immpressive?

Dorian Bell

Dorian Bell, a top 25 recruit from Gateway HS, outside of Pittsburgh, commited to Ohio State earlier today. It is a small article, but it could be found at

It would have been nice to see him here, but if there's one position that we have a blue-chipper turning us down it would be linebacker. The 6-foot-1, 215-pound linebacker turned down a list of schools that include Michigan, Pitt, West Virginia and Florida State. Gateway also has a talented receiver in Corey Brown, so we'll see how that affects his recruiting. Justin King was the last player we got from that school, with kids like Cam Saddler, Bell, and Shane Hale keeping us in their top five then picking other schools
