this just has the feeling of a year where TN finishes strong...real strong.

It's beginning to look that way. Im honestly happy that Winfield chose to go elswhere. I dont think he ever saw the field at UT.

I think Frazier is such an outstanding athlete that we took him based on that. I think he doesnt have a true position that he has flourished in. He hasnt put up stellar "numbers" in high school because of that. And, that probably has something to do with his ranking. He has a big body, great build, and can run. We will find a place for him somewhere.

From an article on Charlie Weiss

"Listen, it's a polite thing to say, and politically correct, but if I'm happy with a 10-2 record, I'm going to get fired," Weis said. "The two losses were not close. We're not where we want to be. But I'm telling you, with the players we have coming in, including a couple of recruits that nobody knows are going to commit to us, we're going to be a lot better. A couple of years from now, you are going to remember that we had this conversation tonight."

Yet another sign. :blink:

About the recruits that nobody knows are goin' to commit - Now all the crap about him bein' an overrated coach. :thumbsup:

Yeah since there is no such thing as coach talk. He could be talking about a few 3* recruits that noone knew they were recruiting. Check their recruiting board from a couple months ago. They had 6-7 locks/silents that all headed elsewhere. The ND fanbase is one of the cockiest and self-absorbed. Why should their coach be any different?

I guess some people just have bad taste. I, for one, don't like crow but some people are just too hardheaded to listen. DONALD IS A VOL. HE HAS ALREADY COMMITTED TO THE COACHES.

How is he not overrated? He had all the talent in the world and was poised for a title run and got crushed by the 2 good teams they played. They will be crushed by the 3rd good team they play as well. What has he done to merit praise? Beat cupcakes while exhibiting 0 class?

Congrats, you were tied in the 4th quarter to the worst Tennessee team in the past 20 years. Hope you're ready for the beat down thats coming in New Orleans. After you lose to LSU by 20 remember Tennessee lost by 4 with a freshman QB making his first start. Then lets talk overrated.

LOL -- Sorry, that errupted into something it shouldn't have.

What I was *trying* to say..

I was reffering to the recruits that are silents (Was just pointing that out because I'm paranoid we may not get Donald) -- Not all the jibberish about the overrated Coach.

Whoops. :birgits_giggle:

Waaaaaaait a minute. Donald committed to the Coaches?

i saw this. since i am a domer, i can provide more analysis than you guys on Charlie's statements since I watch all of his press conferences and interviews. First, Weis is a realist. He knows he had a shot at the NC this year.... he also knows that ND is compromised of a bunch of 2* and 3* players, but he (and the team) expected much more, regardless. Charlie is a straight shooter... he doesn't lie -- he will tell it like it is. Charlie is obviously talking highly about his recruits that no one knows we actually have locked -- he wouldn't brag about the future with a couple of 3* kids... i follow the recruiting process very carefully, and we don't have many 3* offers left (they are mostly 4*).

Weis isn't overrated... he took over a team that was 6-6 the year before and had embarrassing losses to the likes of Syracuse (by 30 pts), BYU, Ore St, etc... and turned them into a BCS team. Yeah, we were tied w/ UT in the 4th quarter... but we were also losing to MSU in the 4th quarter this year.... that's why they play the full game =) UT has better talent than ND, no doubt (and they had better talent last year.... and the year before that) -- i won't argue that point, but the accomplishments Weis has made with this mediocre team has been incredible... and he is now getting his new guys in to run "his system". It's exciting for us domers =D

hvwarrior, as i stated, ND is not that talented... sure we have Quinn, Shark, Stovall, and Harris, but for every great player we have 2 mediocre-at-best players (see our entire D and some of our O line). And, Charlie exhibits class in wins and losses. Remember how he went to the USC locker room last year after the crushing loss and shook the players hands and told them Good Game... or Pass Right... or standing with the armed forces after the game as they sing their school fight songs... that's class =)

Back to Weis's statement: the domer nation seems to think he was alluding to Donald, and we all hope that he is! I don't think that either school can say that Donald is a lock with any sort of certainty. Those that do claim it are just pissin in the wind hoping to hit the bucket (like my Tennessee analogy?)


edit: oh and we havent lost "6-7 locks/silents". We lost Benn to UofI... Tez Wilson is still up in the air, but he is a lean to UofI (he was never a lock/silent)... Hughes may be considering UofI, but was never a lock for ND. So, other than Benn, I don't know of someone we lost that we considered a lock....

Wow, you mean you beat the same UT team that Vandy beat? That's a feather in the cap.
