30dive Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 First a story about his 10 year old daughter now this. If he does not stop this stuff, I'm going to have to start liking him! http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2172623 In Short: ........Meets with dying 10 year old boy at his home and lets him call the first play against the University of Washington on Saturday. The boy, named Montana, named after Joe Montana, died Friday night and did not see the game. Weis ran the play...Pass Right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told the QB that they had to run the play regardless of their starting position. 455130[/snapback] "The play stands!" I don't know 'bout you, but I don't care what it takes, if I'm the QB or the receiver, I make that play work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Very inspirational. I really don't like ND, but you cannot help but get a bit emotional reading this story. Charlie Weis is a great coach (as Bills fans already are painfully aware), but he also is a great human being. It is so sad that any child has to go through what Montana went through. God bless him.

Alaska Darin Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 CW was my first choice to coach the BILLS when Williams was fired. I'm glad he got the ND job. It's nice to see one team I love play their asses off every week, even when they come up a bit short (like vs Michigan State, who may be one of the best teams in the country).

Unfortunately, TD didn't go that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I can't begin to imagine how much Weis' visit meant to the young boy and his family. I know the boy is gone now, but I'm positive Weis put a smile on his face one last time. God bless this boy, his family and Weis for making the effort to give this boy one last moment of happiness.

JoeF Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 ND football is in very good hands....Coach Weis is everything the alumni and subway alumni needed to put the gold back in the program. Bring on the Boilermakers, Trojans, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may not win this year...but I think it will be more competitive than say the normal 7 touchdown USC blowout.... Never know what can happen at home....the crowd...the divine intervention....

bartshan-83 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I'll be there. Our offense better be ready to run, cause USC will hang 35+ on us. If we beat Purdue, should be a real tough one, and we go into that game top 12 or so, it will be a madhouse. Can't wait. AD: You're damn right about MSU. They have been sh-- on in the polls since preseason. Bet they beat Michigan.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may be the class of the Big 10, though they have to prove it by beating OSU and Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
