In fact your fanciful writing abilities has inspired me to start my own blog now. Genuinely the blogging is spreading its wings rapidly. Your write up is a fine example of it.

Remember USC can recruit good to very good players who can’t compose a sentence. They walk them through the courses and as long as they show up for practice and games it’s all good.
ND and schools of a higher academic standard (includes Duke & Wake Forest) don’t operate like that. This is not pro football and these are suppose to be student athletes. I think it complements ND’s purpose as an academic institution to include schools like these in their schedule.
Notre Dame graduates 94% of it’s football players compared to USC’s 54%(2008 Statistics).

Regarding the hiring discussion about ND and Tennessee, I’m not sure it’s a valid comparison. I understand the point about timing, but ND fired Weis and probably knew they were going to for some time. Tennessee, on the other hand was blindsided when Kiffin bolted town so fast orange paint dust is still falling on the streets. Obviously they hadn’t anticipated this and really had no fall back plan.
Additionally this is a terrible time to find a top tier coach so I’m not surprised they struck out on the first offer.
