Kelly has had success at Grand Valley State, Central Michigan and Cincinnati. Yes, and Crash Davis in "Bull Durham" had the minor league record for home runs. This is Notre Dame, dammit. They didn't use the fight song from Grand Valley State during the movie "Airplane." Grand Valley State? Jim Harkema, the coach at my high school, Niles East, in Skokie, made it to Grand Valley State.
Ok. Cincinnati has come on. And Notre Dame has come down. Notre Dame used to be so cocky that it thought it could snap a coach out of a high school in Cincinnati (Gerry Faust of Moeller high). Now Notre Dame is at least selecting college coaches out of Cincy.
And there is something to be said for working your way up the head coaching ranks, a track Charlie Weis wasn't on. (Helps explain Vinny Del Negro? President Obama? John McCain didn't get the chance to screw up.)
But this is Notre Dame. Which is like the Cubs. I used to think there was only one man in the world of sports who had the mental grit to thrive in either South Bend or Wrigleyville. But the man was, alas, a golfer. And now I'm afraid there's really no one who can take the pressure.

Tiger should join Amway, as they also screw anything that moves. Amway is a scam, and here's why: Amway wants to pay out as little money as they can get away with, so they support the higher level IBOs ripping off their downline via the tool scam. As a result, about 99% of IBOs operate at a net loss, while the top 1% make several TIMES more from their Amway tool scam than from the Amway products. Read about it on my blog, I suggest you start here: http://tiny.cc/D5oJh and forward the information to everyone you know, so they don't get scammed.

Let me guess - is Jim Harkema, your high school coach, a bleurasian like Tiger?

Or has Jim Harkema had 10 mistresses, just like Tiger?
