I will be back in the swing next week.
I've just been jammed up with the college football preview that hits racks tomorrow. You've seen most of it. But I'll link to my VT story.
Conferences on Monday morning when you arrive at your desk. I promise.
But before I go, I am once again perplexed by Charlie Weis. He's decided who is his starter will be for Notre Dame's opener, but won't reveal. So, while that doesn't sound too bad, this does:
“I’m not positive if he knows. Because if I told him, then he’d have to lie to you if you asked him the question,” Weis said.
So, the Irish are gearing up to play a pretty tough Georgia Tech team, but he hasn't announced a starter to the team? Or even to the guy? Weis: “I think if they haven’t figured it out by now then they’re not very smart.” OK, so why the head games?
I think it's smart to keep your hand hidden, especially when the offense can have several looks, but you have to establish a leader in practice for everyone to look to. I'd like to think one guy is running with the first teamers moreso than someone else, but who really knows?
And, I was just watching College Football Live on ESPN and Lou Holtz said he thinks the Irish will win 10 games. Seriously?

Never underestimate Weis, grasshopper.
Lou Holtz is an idiot no one puts any stock in anything he says.
Are the only people with Nielson ratings boxes these days Mrs. Lou Holtz, Skip Holtz, and Skip to my Lou Holtz? What is it that keeps Daffy Duck on ESPN? Surely there are better people out there that host a college football show than a blatant homer who has no idea about 3/4 of the teams he talks about. I have never met someone who said "Man I sure am glad Lou Holtz is on ESPN. He makes watching college football so much more entertaining"
Lou Holtz is a real idiot. Have you ever heard him pick against any of his former teams? Of course, he picked South Carolina to upset LSU. He picked Notre Dame to win the national championship. He never looks at the real details, and his "speeches" that he gives at halftime during GameDay are outright stupid.
Someone should shoot the Louser.
