I can't believe Weis is still using the word "nasty" like when he first became head coach. It was over used and totally inapplicable to ND football under his watch. The guy is delusional and a joke. I would speculate that it must be the illegal steroids that ND football players have been known to use during the off season to get bigger that has them so agitated. I heard Clausen gained 12-18 lbs of muscle.....maybe it is time the NCAA stops by to do some testing.....
