While dining on French toast (ugh!) at The Brady Inn in Madison, Georgia, before departing for Athens yesterday, a revelation came upon me! If Charlie Weis is fired, who will the Catholics turn to? At the time of Weis's firing, the Gators will have likely completed their third national championship season under the Visorless Evil Genius, who, it seems was a member of Bob Davies' staff at Notre Dame as was Charlie Strong (I think I remember this right.). So I decided to pull for Navy yesterday and announced it to the others sitting in the dining room of the aforementioned B & B, ALL of whom, it turns out, are devout Catholics and immediately pummeled me with the remainder of their fruit plates (ugh!) which accompanied the aforementioned French toast. But, I said, if Navy wins, Weis is closer to being fired, and Urban is the logical choice. There are few jobs better than the Florida job, but Notre Dame is the apex of college coaching, even if they haven't won in a while, AND, it turns out, Urban is a devout Catholic!!! (At least according to the FSU fan there who lives in Jacksonville.) At this point, the Jacksonville lass immediately switched to being on my side, for, as you know, being an FSU fan, she would like to see Urban gone from the Sunshine State PLUS it would give her religion's school a boost. Win-Win (Gad, I hate that expression.) for her. Although I really never needed a reason to hope Notre Dame did not win a game in any given season, I now hope they don't win again until Urban relocates there to succeed where Weis cannot. I know this is probably not an original thought, but one can dream, can't he?
