- violent ground acquisition games are just a crypto-fascist metaphore for war

- Choosing to go to Ohio State over Notre Dame isn't a 4 year mistake, it's a 40 year mistake!

- There truly is no middle ground when it comes to ND football. You're either on the train, or you're getting run over by the train! The soft schedule line of reasoning is tired. I wish ND played Northwestern, Minnesota and Illinois every other season.

- While I did not go to Notre Dame, I did go to a private school and it has been my experience that there is a lot of jealousy over private education and schools like ND, especially from fans of schools who do not have a century long tradition of football excellence. They are like lottery winners with their "new" money.

- Notre Dame? Yes a sad sad commentary on this over priced over exploited institution. Like to meet a true scholar and gentleman? 60 minutes should realize they are choosing to be mediocre as ND is. Maybe you should have driven from South Bend to Columbus, Ohio. There you will find the recent national champions and currently ranked number one OHIO STATE BUCKEYES. They have a new coach. A coach who does not swear, a coach who demands more from his student athletes than an aspiration to be a professional football player. There you find a man who demands they learn the state song, sing it with the band, live the life of a college student, and eat up the little things in their lives. He teaches, he loves, he wears them out and out pops wonderful young men from a great university. He has brought back Woody Hayes, without the harsh words and sideline antics. He understands one of the greatest coaches in the history of football and leads and teaches off of his foundation. You%u2019re too ignorant to do a story where it counts, in Columbus, Ohio. Get a clue 60 minutes and bring your crews to Columbus for the Ohio State vs. Michigan game if you want to see college football.

- Charlie Weis is a good man. He helps charities; and not just the charity he started for his daughter and people just like her. So what if he swears on the sideline. Big Deal. He gets the job done. He is respected by his team, the fans, and by opposing teams. For those ignorant people that believe that he is swearing all the time need to realize that the CBS clips of him swearing were all strung together to make a point that he does swear at a Catholic institution, not that he has a lack of vocabulary. As a student of Notre Dame, and a member of the band I have had interaction with Coach Weis both on and off the field. All be it short interaction with him, he has always come across as polite and respectful.
To those of you who are pouting because CBS did not do a special on your favorite coach, suck it up. Coach Weis and the University of Notre Dame is something truly special. Our fans here are the most polite in the entire country. I have been to many other stadiums and have been treated like garbage. You would be very hard pressed to find yourself in a situation at the University of Notre Dame.
The moral of the story is that Charlie Weis is a good kind hearted man. If swearing is what it takes to light a fire under his players butts than that is what he will do. I don't believe there is one Notre Dame fan, Student, or even priest at the school that will persecute him for his vocabulary. - Reply to this comment

- It is hardly surprising that an activity as absurd as football---people dressed in plastic armor running around a field bashing into one another in pursuit of an inflated object---will draw some idiots to its ranks. The sooner "60 Minutes" and everyone stops paying attention to the game and the people who choose to be a part of it, the better off society we'll be.
