Weis furious about Irish missing out on BCS

Despite leading the Irish to the worst season in school history, the coach believes his young squad belonged in a major postseason game. Weis argued that Notre Dame has routinely received bowl invitations they may not have deserved.

“Just off the top of my head, I know the Irish didn’t deserve to make the Fiesta in 2001, and we had no business in the Sugar last year,” Weis told a group of reporters. “Despite our record, we’re a solid ball club. Our winning streak proves that.”

Weis refused to concede his argument, even after reporters pointed out that NCAA rules do not allow three-win teams to play in any bowl, much less one of the BCS games. League rules stipulate that a team must win six games to become bowl eligible.

“We’re Notre fucking Dame,” Weis proclaimed, sneering derisively at the media gathering. “You tell me the last time a Notre Dame team won their last three games and didn’t go to a bowl!”
