A sports blog by and for Midwest Sports Fans
Michigan and Notre Dame battle on Saturday and J-Dools gets you ready for the game with a preview and a prediction of what we’ll see in Ann Arbor.
Tate Forcier and Denard Robinson are creating optimism for Wolverines fans, but Charlie Weis has a major trump card in his back pocket: an experienced quarterback in Jimmy Clausen who will not be fazed by a hostile road test in The Big House.
In the latest edition of I’ll Tell You This, Big MB discusses the sports stories that are on his mind this week: why Sam Bradford’s injury should shut up those who say college athletes should not go pro early, why the Jets and Lions are making a mistake, and why Al Davis has once again screwed over his franchise.
The mandate is clear for Charlie Weis and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in 2009: make drastic improvements – as in, BCS-worthy improvements – or Weis will likely be fired and former phenom Jimmy Clausen will forever be known as a highly recruited bust who never brought the Irish back to the promised land.
Harangody is a serious candidate for player of the year and has been averaging almost 25 points per game all season, with 13 rebounds dominating the glass for the Irish throughout their season. That’s not the problem, the problem is Luke cannot carry the team alone.
According to sources, Notre Dame head football coach Charlie Weis will not be fired and will return to coach Notre Dame in 2009. Weis has a career winning percentage of .571, less than predecessors Ty Willingham and Bob Davie.
Notre Dame and Boston College renew their historic Holy War rivalry this weekend, with both teams’ seasons on the line.
