I wonder if in the interest of full disclosure the Wiz shouldn't remind us of his football allegiances. In the absence of this disclosure, I will simply assume that the Wiz is a liar fabricating negative hackjobs on Charlie Weis because he is associated with a rival program. There's not a shred of evidence to prove this and it's totally irresponsible to write it, but I think that's about par for the course in terms of intellectual honesty for this blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15857498.post-42752344136004247472007-06-14T18:32:00.000-07:002007-06-14T18:32:00.000-07:00everybody get naked!everybody get naked!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15857498.post-26914841546401297532007-06-14T14:29:00.000-07:002007-06-14T14:29:00.000-07:00Are we supposed to be proud this story was broken ...Are we supposed to be proud this story was broken by bloggers? These guys say they're ND fans, but they are probably doing much more to hurt their team (ie. forcing Weis hand and making him look bad) than to promote it. <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry, but this is just not going to do any good between the relationship between bloggers and the various sports information departments around the country. Some of us work very hard to promote the programs we cover by gaining the trust of players and people around the program and when something like this happens it gives all of us a bad name. I know breaking stories like this is all the rage for journalists trying to get attention, but I guess I’m in the minority when I feel that there are other ways to gain credibility without pissing your SID off.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17749495895201058539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15857498.post-86301997281078802682007-06-14T14:14:00.000-07:002007-06-14T14:14:00.000-07:00Weis says "he's full to go."

He then gets scoped, and will likely be back for the start of Fall camp. Maybe, maybe, m-a-y-b-e if he misses practice time come August you could argue that Charlie fibbed. But I don't think so. I think the Wiz has it out for CW and JC for some reason, though I have no idea why.OC Domerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17452221551362652427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15857498.post-75970805362383091922007-06-14T13:45:00.000-07:002007-06-14T13:45:00.000-07:00As much as I dislike Weis and ND.

Clausen will likely be READY to start the season. Whether he will actually win the job is another question.<BR/><BR/>General consensus from the ND community seems to be he would not start the season, but would have a chance to take over at some point in the year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15857498.post-59733043233292466612007-06-14T04:31:00.000-07:002007-06-14T04:31:00.000-07:00So let me get this straight.

In March Clausen was deemed full go, participated in spring practice, received an equal number of snaps as the other three quarterbacks, and "threw the ball the best." If he was truly injured back then I doubt he would have been in practice. And now two months later he has a procedure. <BR/><BR/>And because that sequence of events we're not supposed to believe anything Weis says from now on? Quite a jump there, Wiz. I don't think you're in danger of having any mainstream media quote your blog any time soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
