Thank goodness we didn't go after George O'Leary. What a moron.

With a name like his, he was destined to be at ND. Wouldn't have worked at a Methodist school anyway so not to worry.

PS - evidently, I was unaware of his firing when I wrote the above statement. So much for destiny.

SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

This website would short-circuit if we'd hired O'Leary and this came out. We live under the NCAA microscope as it is, and with the national (negative only, of course) attention that SMU gets, can you imagine the punchlines that would be floating out there right now?

Always good to see notre dame look ridiculous - like its football team has in recent years.

I'm wondering if part of the reason ND made a big deal about the resume issue was that he was already starting to make ND look ridiculous. Take a look at this article from ESPN regarding O'Leary's baggage.
