No one is criticising Charlie Weis. We need to stop taking the bait. No one who has lived through Davingham or Faust's day's is going to say a freaking word against Charlie and his style. Friends, papers don't sell themselves, they need conflict: Hezbollah versus Israel; Bush vs. Kerry; Paris Hilton versus intelligence. Forget it and stop buying the papers.

You know, I read NDNATION.COM daily, I'm not a ND grad, tried but couldn't get a football scholarship so played club at a small college, and am a fervent follower of the Irish. I live close enough to Clausen's high school that I can see him play all the time. This crap with this booster and the Tribune guys is crazy. ND finally shows some great promise and now we get people harping on the

Based on the number of times people have pointed out CW's selflessness (at times when he didn't know the act was being noticed) and his work with his daughter's charity the benefit of the doubt says he is a genuine person that truly respects others. anybody that thinks he would kiss their butt because they donate money is crazy. there is nothing about CW that makes you think he would go out of

Mike, I am a double Domer/athlete whose father and son are football monogram winners. Over the years, I have contributed a significant sum of money to ND. Additionally, I have developed strong contacts in our athletic department, including past coaches. They were very gracious in returning my correspondence, in taking an occasional phone call, and in greeting me whenever they saw me. Last

Kudos to Mike Coffey. I am not a Notre Dame alum, but my feelings for the university are just as real. Shitheel is totally appropriate as are some other descriptive terms. Charlie Weiss is doing exactly what legions of ND alums and fans wanted. He is producing winning teams, holding his players to high standards of academic excellence, recruiting excellent high school players to come to ND for

Although I am not an alumnus I loudly cheer what you have written here. There is no one as annoying as the gutless wonder who throws sucker punches from behind a curtain of anonymity. Kudos to you for calling him on it.

it's funny how all these adults who are complaining about Coach Weis sound like children. They like Charlie Weis and want to be around him because he is doing well and so far has the program in the right direction as long as the defense works out. He was brought to Notre Dame to do a job. Thank God he is not sitting around eating lunch with these "high profile" alumns talking about non-sense or

perfectly written! I wrote the cbs author back right away too. Got all over him for having no sources or names or anything...? Can't believe he worte it but as we all know put ND in the title and people read it which is what they want. I don't care if Charlie ever says another word to a booster or alumni to be honest? Just win, keep grad rates up, and don't break any rules doing it!!

Kudos my man. I just finished reading that article about the so called prominent booster. All I have to say is whaaaaaaa. I served in the Army for 9 years and if you cry and complain about how you're treated there, well...good luck. Keep up the good work with your page, I read it atleast 3-4 times a day. GO IRISH!!!

Certainly possible. Someone on Rock's House mentioned there was a Mike Freeman who was fired from the Indianapolis Star because he had falsified information on his resume. If this is the same author, he's exhibited questionable ethics in the past, so anything is possible.

But that story is difficult to verify, so I won't repeat it.

Nicely done. But in my humble opinion, there is no "Mr. Prominent Notre Dame Booster". He's merely a ginned-up "straw man" mechanism, useful in propping up what is, essentially, just a bunch of whining by reporters whose parents never set limits.
