Domers in Denial

One quickie for this morning:

Often Blue-Gray Sky is a great blog covering Notre Dame football. I like to think of them as similar to NDNation with brains. However, in the midst of a "what if?" series they ran this summer (i.e. "What if Tony Rice didn't go here?" or "What if we beat USC in 2005?") one of the guys ran a column asking what if Urban Meyer had column to Notre Dame instead of Florida. He closed his argument (pretty much against Urban--I don't need to tell you how bitter some Domers are that Meyer chose to forgo his manifest destiny and coach in Gainesville instead) with the following paragraphs:

"Urban Meyer may have been a former coach at ND, but he didn’t get “it.” The simple fact that he relied on Bob Davie for insight during the process shows that he doesn’t know “it” from a hole in the ground. (Editor's note: Meyer was an assistant through I think all of Davie's tenure)

If Urban Meyer had become head coach of Notre Dame, I’d imagine we would have found ourselves in a similar position to where we stand today. Just as we expect Charlie Weis to lead us to a national championship at some point, so too we may have expected it with Urban. But when we looked at the path we had to take to get there, I don’t think we would have enjoyed the ride nearly as much."

Yeah, all aboard the ND fun train. Next loss, Spartanville. :(

And MGoBlog thought their emo-week was self-pitiful...
