Boiled Sports Weekly Real Genius: Pete Carroll


If you can out-think, out-wit, out-prepare and beat a genius, what must you be? I don't really know. But you are at the very least considered the Boiled Sports Weekly Real Genius when you accomplish such a feat.

Congratulations, Coach Pete Carroll! You have earned this honor.

Granted, a first-year coach with less talent, worse facilities and more youth found a way to beat your mighty Trojans at USC. But this week, the coach on the opposite sideline led his team to 0 points and his team's strength, the defense, allowed 38 points with a second string quarterback at the helm...all in Notre Dame's home stadium.

The Original Genius was heard saying, "People better enjoy it now." Following the shellacking of his Irish. He continued "Have their fun now."


Well, USC, its fans, its coaches and its players all enjoyed the win, and even second and third stringers had their fun last Saturday...Thank you coach Weis for giving them such an opportunity, especially on the hallowed ground of your own stadium.

Coach Carroll, while you've never seen schemes like what The Big Manatee threw at you last Saturday, and we all know Weis clearly has an advantage over you, and all coaches when it comes to X's & O's, you overcame UND's overwhelming advantage and found a way to eek out a 38-0 victory. Even if you only get to savor this victory for one calendar year Coach Carrol, you can always take pride in the fact that SC's cheerleaders are the best dressed in all of the land.



Last season, Coach Carroll, your team enjoyed the second-best recruiting class in the country, while the underdog Irish only had the eighth-best class (for the second-straight season). Well next year, that should all change as the Irish incoming class is set to be the best in all of the land. You will have to overcome an overall talent discrepancy and Notre Dame will FINALLY get a good quarterback.

We here at Boiled Sports believe that you might have a shot to beat the Irish next season too...we're not saying it's likely since the Irish are clearly dominant* over your Trojans, but with a little luck, your little team can repeat as you did this season.

Coach Carroll, your genius took you to a national title in your third year as head coach...and you have only lost 12 games during your 5 1/2 seasons at SC...But not everyone follows your blueprint to success. Keep on keepin' on...you're a player's coach, and while that might not work for everybody, it works alright for you.


*Notre Dame's dominance in this series does not include the past 15 seasons

Thanks guys. I look forward to the real geniuses every week. As a boiler who grew up in the South Bend area, I know no greater happiness than this season. Let hope the genuises continue for four more weeks and carry into next season.

Thanks anon, I'm glad you stop by each week. As anti-Notre Dame guys, we're getting to the interesting part of the season for the domers- This is the portion in which UND fans guaranteed four-straight victories. Wouldn't it be lovely if they could get laced a few times in the coming weeks? I think they can and will.

I actually think they could win out and end up at 5-7 and you just KNOW Fat Charlie would be hailed as a genius who kept the troops focused, etc. And then next year, we'd get to hear about how they were building on that and wishing they had a bowl game to play in since they were on a roll and clearly would have beaten anybody they played -- and even USC if they coulda had one more chance at them -- and so on and so on... and if they begin with a win or two next year, we'd hear about the "winning streak" they're on, "dating back to last season."

Oh, please Navy, take this team down.

Looking at that picture of the USC cheerleaders, I would have to say that even if SC lost that game, they would still end up being winners in my book.

Now, if you were to put the Big Manatee in one of those sweaters...
Oh- I just had a little vomit in the back of my mouth.

Imagining Weis dressed as a USC Song Girl is somewhat.... concerning.

My question is, where on earth did you find that Jets picture?
