A Safe Alternative to Notre Dame Football

My five year old has come up with a brilliant solution to Notre Dame’s football woes.  She has made an alternate reality out of paper, markers, and a Bud Light Wheat box.

“Mommy and Daddy, I made you a t.v. so you can watch Notre Dame and not be sad!  Here’s the remote.  Turn it on!”  She handed me a piece of cardboard with buttons drawn on it and slid the first picture into view.

“Here is the football grass with lines on it and the red team.”  The picture changed and another came into view.

IMG_2839“And here is a Notre Dame guy with the football scoring a touchdown!”  Then, and I swear this is true, came the best picture of all.

“This is the coach, the guy who wears the black and white stripes (the referee), and the red team.”  Added bonus: ” I put some brown on the grass so you can see that part is dead.”  Now I know you can’t see the faces in this picture, but trust me, the “coach” looks nothing like Charlie Weis.

The child is prophetic.  As of this afternoon, Weis is officially out.  Any guesses as to who the faceless coach is on the Bud Light Wheat t.v.?
