Fair enough, Harrington. The team currently stinks, and we've been blown out four straight times. That's not good. Weis can't do that on an ongoing basis and escape the wrath of the zealots.
But it has nothing to do with racism, does it?
And help is on the way. We'll be fine. Maybe even by the end of this year. The biggest reason ND fans are giving Weis the benefit of the doubt right now is that there's so many reasons to hope, while near the end of TW's third season, there was horrible recruiting news and the team was going into games with a defeated look in their eye. It was despair, and we had a coach who didn't seem to want to be there.
I'd be shocked if the irish went to Ann Arbor this weekend thinking they'd already lost. Now we very well might lose, but I don't think we'll go in with our heads hanging as TW's teams did.
