Scream it from the rooftops!

To those uniformed people who wonder why Charlie Weis is not in the same hot seat that the last so called Head Coach of Notre Dame football was in his 3rd year (you know who you are), it's the recruiting. While Weis is getting better and better recruits (um, like the best class for 2008 so far), the former coach (FC) had one GOOD class and that was after his 1st year. And the FC is why ND's offensive line is so inexperienced. In the 3 years the FC was at ND, he recruited a grand total of 6 linemen. Of which only 2 are left.

So, quit saying Charlie is safe because of the 10 year contract, ESPN. He's safe because he knew this was going to be a tough year all along. Especially, after Darius left. Think about it. Go through what happened in the off-season and it makes sense.

Right now I'm getting on my roof and screaming "IT'S THE RECRUITING, STUPID!"

In case you missed it...

Dish Network has signed a deal with the Big Ten Network. Here is the meat of the story (emphasis mine):

Customers throughout the nation will also have the opportunity to preview the network until early 2008. At that time, the channel will be carried on America's Top 100 Plus service within the eight states with Big Ten institutions.
