Lions New Uniforms

[BWN 7]

Real quick, since we've wandered in to off-topic (in case Mods are watching): Boy, do the Lions suck. And their "new" uniforms are too similar to their old uniforms - ergo, they suck.

Weis very well may not be at ND long - this year is his last opportunity. His first 2 years were a welcome surprise, the last two not so much. I believe he has the talent on the team now after a well-documented stretch of extremely bare cupboards (a very large reason why Ty was jettisoned). Time will tell. I do hope he does well, I don't want another coaching search (remember George O'Leary?)......

DickRod can be a good coach, and I'm not going to say he WON'T win a NC, however I can imagine the drum beating VERY loudly for him this season if he loses more than 2 or 3 games. Getting a new expansion to the stadium (a shithole, btw - I hate going there) and having it NOT sell out because of the product on the field will not go over well.........

Yes, everything lions related sucks.

Weiss was winning with those "empty cupboards." He can't win with his guys.

I think Rod will get 1 more sub-par year before he gets too much (more) crap about not winning. I do think he needs to go to a bowl game this year though. (6-7 wins)

No, the "empty cupboards" were during the last two years, where there was a dearth of upper-classmen. Ty was notoriously lax and it was well documented that he was not keen on recruiting, which created a lack of upper-classmen (specifically OL, a HUGE problem) in '07. '08 was going to be an upswing, as the younger players had a year under their belt and the schedule was "easier." The collapse of last year can be layed at Weis's feet for sure, his coaching ability with younger players being in question. This is the year of "His Guys" without question.

I disagree with your feelings on DickRod, although I can admit my finger is less on the pulse of that whore Ann Arbor than it is in South Bend. Should be another interested college football season, for sure...
