The Bald Truth
Just as some so-called patriotic Republicans are rooting against the president of the United States, will there be self-professed diehard Notre Dame fans rooting against Charlie Weis this Saturday?
As wrong as that seems, Weis has become so despised by a fairly large faction of Fighting Irish faithful that it's possible some Golden Domers would rather see him lose - and lose big - to USC than gain glory by winning.
Notre Dame has won a lot of close games against a lot of not-so-great teams this season, but those count, too. Jimmy Clausen's production down the stretch in those games has helped him climb in stature among the nation's QBs.
Now here comes USC - a team that last lost to Notre Dame two coaches ago and a squad that whipped the Irish by approximately 8 gazillion points the last couple of seasons - for just the kind of home game a coach must win if he wants to be taken seriously.
And if Weis does happen to beat USC, I can't wait to see what he'll do about Afghanistan.
The Balder Truth
And speaking of coaches you can't take seriously ...
Another fine job by Ron Zook. The man's team is all ILL, no ini.
Call me crazy, but when you're six games into your program's fifth season, you should have a pretty good idea who your quarterback is, no?
Hey, let's go easy on the Zooker. He just wants everybody in Illiniland to get excited about hoops season early.
THE BALDEST TRUTH
With convicted dog-abuser Michael Vick coming to town, a Bay Area animal-rights group plans to protest Sunday's Raiders-Eagles game.
These folks believe that if smacking around humans was good enough for Raiders coach Tom Cable, it should have been good enough for Vick, too.
