 Weis on the Fighting Irish mystique
Up to the minute news about Notre Dame from GoTeamsGo. We'll find the latest Notre Dame news so you can chat about here. Quote: Weis ponders the good â?? and bad â?? of Notre Dame football
Northwest Herald, IL - 2 hours ago
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Charlie Weis rubbed his chin with his right hand, making sure that everyone could see his glittering, gaudy Super Bowl ring.
It’s a familiar pose for the Notre Dame coach when he’s out recruiting, a sure way to drive home the point that this former NFL assistant knows a thing or two about what it takes to eventually play on Sundays.
He’s also got the Fighting Irish mystique on his side, though that’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
“So many people stereotype you and judge you, even when they have no idea what you’re all about,” Weis said Friday, one day after his team arrived in the Big Easy to begin preparing for the Sugar Bowl against local favorite LSU.
“It’s a lot like being the Yankees. Growing up a Yankees fan, you know there’s people who are rooting for you, and then there’s people who say they’ll root for whoever is playing the Yankees. Same thing with Notre Dame.”
