coach-off...

notre dame is currently beating the stew out of washington. 8:48 left in the 4th quarter and the score is 29-3. this is great, especially since we lost to michigan state last week.

but washington's new coach is notre dame's old coach -- ty willingham. which means that willingham's new team is getting run all over by his old team. i liked willingham at notre dame and i thought it was kinda lame that he got canned with time still left on his contract. i think he's a good coach (his record of late notwithstanding) and i think notre dame didn't give him a chance to prove himself with the fighting irish. but other folks cared a lot more than i do about his wins-to-losses ratio and wanted to switch him out for someone who they thought would weigh the balance much more toward wins. and i understand that.

alas, a notre dame win is a notre dame win. and i'm glad we've got charlie weis now. i think he's going to be great for the team. but i'm thinking i'm going to go make myself a drink right now, and i'll drink to ty willingham.

UPDATE!

final score was ND 36 - Washington 17. go irish!
