RichRod or Shamu - who needs a win more ESPN poll
Funny results to poll on ESPN. Guess which two states think RichRod needs to start 2-0 more than Weis.
At the time of posting -- Michigan and West Virginia.

I would say that Weis probably needs it more. RichRod mostly just needs a solid performance by his team against ND. A really competitive game couldn't hurt. I still think it's a tough win for us, but I'll be in full support this weekend at the game.

far more than we do.
I want him to lose but I want him to stay at ND too, arg

Lose to us, beat MSU, beat USC, go 9-3ish, BCS, Charlie keeps his job.
win, win, win, eh, eh, win.

Think "Back to School"

I can't seem to get out of my mind the thought of Weis being forced to go through eeeBarwis' program. I wonder how long before his heart would explode? Over/under 11 minutes. I keep seeing this in my mind and can't stop giggling.

is 50/50 on the matter. I wonder if RR has a successful year here that some of the vile to him will dissipate or get worse. Can't help but recall how emotional he was at the press conference when the topic of how people were saying how he and his team of coaches don't care about the kids he has helped coached.

Weis is way more on the hot seat than RichRod is. ND only has one year to come back to stardom before someone gets the ax; we've already proven that we're going in the right direction. It'll be a tough game on Saturday, but I think we can pull it off.

But beating WMU doesn't really prove a hell of a lot on its own. If we don't follow it up with a good season than we haven't proven anything IME. I hate ND and Weis, and I agree that he is on a hotter seat than RR. To say that we have already proven something after one win is overstating things a little IME, however.

Thank you.

his reputation for having systematic advantages over his fellow coaching peers relies on this.

Totally agree. Weis needs this way more than Coach Rod. Yes the heat is on Coach Rod but I just think he just needs to show progress. If Michigan gets blown out and embarassed(which I don't think will happen)then maybe. If the game is close and Michigan plays well then I think Coach Rod will be okay. You gotta give it to Weis. He was able to con ND out of a ton of money because of his work with Michigan alum Tom Brady. It is the whole between a rock and a hard place thing. I want to see Jaba the Weis lose and cry like a little girl, but if this happens ND might actually try to get a real coach in there. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
they are who we thought they were

I don't like Weis, but these nicknames we're giving him (Jabba, Shamu, etc.) strike me as a little childish.
