In an official announcement today, the University of Notre Dame has officially renamed "Touchdown Jesus" to "Surrender Jesus".

I am sure glad the "genius", aka Weis, kept everyone in the dark about who the starting QB would be...that way, GT could plan for all three..........

It ain't over until the fat man sings...and I hear Charlie Weis is taking opera lessons in between twinkie snack breaks.

When all things go wrong at ND, blame the negro. Oppps, I forgot, firing Willingham wasn't racist. My bad.
