<OT> Sports; Source: Notre Dame expected to hire Stanford's Willingham By RICHARD ROSENBLATT AP Football Writer December 31, 2001 LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Notre Dame was expected to hire Stanford's Tyrone Willingham as its football coach, possibly as early as Monday, The Associated Press has learned. ``It's not all wrapped up yet, but they would be crazy to fly him there if it wasn't set after all that's happened,'' a source close to the Stanford athletic department said on the condition he not be identified. Willingham's expected appointment at Notre Dame was first reported Monday by the Santa Barbara News-Press. Citing a source with close ties to Stanford's football program, the paper said Willingham would fly to Notre Dame on Monday to finalize details of a contract. The Stanford athletic department source also told The AP that Willingham would head for South Bend on Monday for further contract talks. If hired, Willingham would become the first black head coach in any sport at Notre Dame. Willingham was among the leading contenders for the job when Bob Davie was fired on Dec. 2. He would replace former Georgia Tech coach George O'Leary, who resigned five days after taking the job after lying about his academic and athletic achievements on his resume. O'Leary was hired to replace Davie, who was fired after five seasons. The Irish were 5-6 this season. On his radio show Sunday night, Notre Dame athletic director Kevin White said: ``I can't give you a definitive time frame as to when this thing will end, but we're in no rush and we're under no prescribed time frame. The idea is to find the right person and get on with it, and that's what we're doing.'' White was not available for comment Monday morning. John Heisler, the school's associate athletic director, said he was unaware of the report. Before O'Leary was hired, Willingham and several NFL coaches, including Steve Mariucci of the San Francisco 49ers and Jon Gruden of the Oakland Raiders, were mentioned as top contenders for one of the most glamorous jobs in sports. While Davie was fired for not enough wins -- he was 35-25 -- Willingham's record is 44-36-1 in seven seasons at Stanford, including last week's 24-14 loss to Georgia Tech in the Seattle Bowl. Earlier this season, before Stanford defeated Notre Dame, Willingham talked about the two schools. ``It's good to look at records and standards, but it's more important to remember the process of producing a consistent winner, and that starts early on each week before the games are played,'' Willingham said. ``Both of our schools have high expectations, and we're trying to live up to ours all week, not just on Saturdays.'' The Irish had fizzled under Davie, who graduated players but failed to return Notre Dame to national prominence. Even in 2000, when the Irish went 9-3, they were soundly beaten by Oregon State in the Fiesta Bowl. When Willingham was first mentioned for the job, he declined to talk about it while preparing his team for its bowl game. While the hiring of O'Leary was a popular one, it turned out to be one of the most embarrassing moments in school history. O'Leary lied about how long he played football at New Hampshire and about earning a master's degree at NYU. Stanford was 9-3 this season, and Willingham has led the team to one Pac-10 Conference title and into four bowl games. Willingham, who was Dennis Green's running backs coach with the Cardinal from 1989-91 before a stint with Green's Minnesota Vikings, succeeded Bill Walsh at Stanford after the 1994 season. Though Stanford had a winning record in just one of four seasons from 1997-2000, Willingham maintained his status as one of college football's best organizers and managers. He led the Cardinal to a Pac-10 title and the Rose Bowl in 1999, and never lost a game against archrival California in seven seasons. Willingham has been a perennial candidate mentioned for other vacancies. Ohio State considered him last year, while North Carolina State and Michigan State -- Willingham's alma mater -- were interested in him after the Cardinal made the Rose Bowl in 1999. p.s. if i were him i would tell ND to shove-it, now........

<OT> Virginity like bubble, one prick, all gone. Man who run in front of car get tired. Man who run behind car get exhausted. Man with hand in pocket feel cocky all day. Foolish man give wife grand piano, wise man give wife upright organ. Man who walk through airport turnstile sideways going to Bangkok. Man with one chopstick go hungry. Man who scratch ass should not bite fingernails. Man who eat many prunes get good run for money. Baseball is wrong: man with four balls cannot walk. Panties not best thing on earth! but next to best thing on earth. War does not determine who is right, war determine who is left. Wife who put husband in doghouse soon find him in cat house. Man who fight with wife all day get no piece at night. It take many nails to build crib, but one screw to fill it. Man who drive like hell, bound to get there. Man who stand on toilet is high on pot. Man who live in glass house should change clothes in basement. Man who fish in other man’s well often catch crabs. Man who fart in church sit in own pew. Crowded elevator smell different to midget.
