Malloy's Remarks on Firing at Notre Dame Gaining Applause

My best friend from high school (class of 1959) is a former Holy Cross Brother. He went to his first two years at Notre Dame, after his novitiate summer, then got his Bachelor's at St. Edward's in Austin, TX. The order then sent him back to ND for his MEd. He's out of the order now, and lives in s. Florida. He is a RABID ND hater, and his college team of choice is, shockingly, the U. of Miami. I am a Motown Subway Alumnus.

Oi! I've O'Connor genes.

He had a good final season at Stanford, which is excellent considering the athletes they get. Having said that, his record there is not as impressive as I had though (other than his final year), so your comments have merit.

You might be right about the record. Please save this post and come back to share the "I told you so" at game 6.

You haven't gat a clue.

I never bothered applying to the place, so, no, there's no rejection letter. What I dislike most about ND and their alums is their arrogance. I've actually talked to ND alums who've asked me if I didn't really wish I'd gone to ND instead of my alma mater. Unreal. That kind of arrogance isn't a particularly Christian characteristic.

I applied at the place and went there. What I find most annoying about the place is the arrogance. If you really take the time to know some (and I say some) of the guys, they are great guys, but others are buttheads. Notre Dame does not have the corner on that market. However, Monk Malloy is one guy who did nothing to limit the arrogance and in fact, I could suggest he fueled it. I will be happy to see Malloy step down at the end of June 2005.

Really gutsy of Malloy to come out a week after Tyrone Willinghma has been fired to tell the world how upset he is/was. It speaks volumes about how the man operates.
