Bad teams winning against great teams, great teams losing to bad teams. Unknowns becoming known, and knowns becoming unknown. Coaches lying to players and players lying to coaches. Crimes merging from players to coaches back to players. Predictions or forecasts turn into nightmares and crumble along the wayside. Analysts calling out coaches and coaches calling out analysts. Lou Holtz giving a pep talk to Navy. Stability is no longer a word just a sub-word in instability. Teams blowing out teams, yet not making it past those teams into a major bowl. Illinois becoming a good team. A player getting bit by a dog in the end zone. The world is clearly upside down. College football has turned mad. These are the days in which we need to return to our roots. In order for there to be sense in all of this nonsense, there needs to be a foundation in which to build. |

So here we are Irish fans, the day after next. We've all awaken to a new day and a new team. Transition is the passing or change from one place, condition, style to another. In Laymen's Terms, we're obviously not, the 2 prior years, anymore. So what are we? Do you know? Does anyone? But that's part of transition! Do you know what could come next? Now, to be able to reasonably speculate on our future, we have to look at the facts.

I have been a Notre Dame fan since 1968. My family had just moved here from Israel and we were settled into our humble apartment in Miami Florida. I was just 5 years old and a couple of months from my sixth birthday. |

Riccardo Barraza talks about Weis and the President's Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities
WASHINGTON D.C – Already holding one of the most prominent positions in sports as the Notre Dame head football coach, Charlie Weis may just have another top spot. But this time it’s not in the world of sports. The government may be Weis’ next calling, while he stays focused on football, of course.

I appreciate the Coach’s situation. It’s complicated, with loads of responsibilities and intricacies. He manages 150 people, maybe more. He’s constantly expected to do personal appearances, speak to alumni groups, and be in the homes of 30-50 recruits a year (sometimes multiple times). That’s a lot of traveling, and that doesn’t even cover his main duties. He’s got morale and discipline to handle for 120 or so college kids some who haven’t lost a game in their high school careers and others who have been indulged by teachers and coaches their whole lives. All the while he’s expected to raise the team GPA. It’s not an easy job and he’s done most of it better that any of us expected. Maybe 5% of us have the skill set to manage and handle these numerous responsibilities. And maybe 5% of those have the insight, foresight, and savvy to be an offensive coordinator in the NFL. That’s why he’s Charlie, and we’re sitting here talking about Charlie. He is one of us, but then again he’s much more.
