Really, Notre Dame?

Navy beat Notre Dame, again, and there was much rejoicing. Except in South Bend, of course. Weiss has wisely kept mum, but not his other coaches. Corwin Brown has gotten all bent out of shape about Ken Niumatalolo, Navy’s head coach, and his post game comments, denouncing them with such harsh language as “very disappointing.”

Down South, "very disappointing” comments are along the lines of ‘Ha, ha, you got majorly spanked,’ or, ‘Well, they’re going to a crappy bowl this year,’ or 'I can’t believe their player tried to stab our player during that third down right in front of the ref and there wasn’t a flag.’

Up North, it’s apparently beyond the pale to point out the other team has made zero adjustments in the off season.

Yep. All Coach Niumatalolo said was, “I think the thing that helped us this year was last year because we knew that they'd line up the same way."

Hey Brown…you know that’s not a secret, right? And that people are allowed to state facts without fear of retribution, right?

On the other hand, if this is the whining standard expected of Irish coaches, Urban Meyer will fit right in.

(And yes, I wrote about this to avoid the actually disappointing news: Tennessee’s three best freshmen have been accused of an attempted armed robbery. And things had been going so well on Rocky Top.)
