Notre Dame players pelted by snowballs

Irish fans are pictured in the first half during Saturday's loss against Syracuse in South Bend. Fans came bundled against the weather, but players were pelted with snowballs a day after the city got about 10 inches of snow.

By Laureen Fagan

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame football players were pelted by snowballs from fans sitting in the student section during their loss to Syracuse on Saturday.

"To throw snowballs at their own team, I didn't think that was a smart thing to do. I guess (they thought) it was funny," defensive tackle Pat Kuntz said after Syracuse upset the Irish 24-23.

South Bend was hit with about 10 inches of snow Friday. While the field had been cleared before the game, there was still snow along the fringes and in some areas of the stands.

Fans at first threw snow in the air, but then quickly switched to tossing snowballs toward the Notre Dame sideline. Defensive lineman Ian Williams got hit in the helmet, defensive end Ethan Johnson was struck on the left cheek and a St. Joseph County police officer on the sideline looking into the crowd got hit in the chest. An NBC camera man also was a frequent target and several snowballs reached the field, although none landed near where play was occurring.

When the Irish defense held a meeting on the sideline, injured linebacker Brian Smith stood on a bench to try to shield his teammates. But when a snowball hit Kuntz, he stood and faced the crowd and appeared to challenge whoever threw it to come down on the field.

"I was pretty mad about that, but whatever the fans want to do," Kuntz, a senior who was playing his last game at Notre Dame Stadium, said flatly.

At least one fan was seen being led away by police.

Mr. Happy, apparently you haven't heard the news. They know longer refer to it as 'Touchdown' Jesus. It is now know as, "I give up!" Jesus.

I'm not comparing Purdue Football to Notre Dame Football Kristin. I was comparing getting pelted by snowballs and Full Water Bottles. Purdue has thus stopped the nonsense. They should be throwing snowballs this year but there's no snow down there at this time. In 2003, Purdue was 9-4 and went to the Capital One Bowl, but they were throwing things when the team did good. Maybe Notre Dame fans will throw In-N-Out Burgers at Charlie at the end of the USC game when it's 60-0. I'm hilarious.

How can the players rememer plays when they cannot memorize the school song. It is embarassing to watch them pretent to sing or not even open their mouths. ND is all money. There is no respect or spirit anymore.

Why is it the coaches fault? He's not playing the game, the PLAYERS are and as sad as it is, THEY SUCK!! And I call myself an ND fan..........sad.

Snowballs is nothing compared to going to Purdue games around 2003 when fans (or at least the student section) after Purdue would score a touchdown would throw basically anything they could, i.e. Full Water Bottles, Cups, anything they could get their hands on... But a snowball is nothing compared to getting hit in the back of the head with a Full Water Bottle being thrown down about a 100 feet up.

While I do not condone the actions, if I sat in the cold and snow for 3 hours to watch them lose to a team like Syracuse, I might have been tempted the throw a few myself. You have this offensive guru (Weis) and all that talent and you can't do anything with it! Thank goodness Michigan sucks this year, too!

Its just snowballs people get off your high horses. If this was pro-football they would have beer, cups, food thrown at them but the students choose to throw snowballs to voice their disapproval of the way the team has been playing of late. Its not a huge deal but you guys are making it out to seem like people got shot or had rocks thrown at them. Its snow balls, snowballs dont hurt, get over it.

There were repeated warnings not to throw snowballs. Anyone caught should have been arrested, charged with assult and battery, fined to the max and lost their tickets permanently. Those who were hit didn't seem to think it was funny. Those of you who thought it was just in fun are stupid losers.

That was very classy of the Syracuse players to stand silent while the ND players sang their Alma Mater. I was embarassed for the ND community by the classless fans who threw snowballs at and booed their team. I'm happy for the very small group of fans who traveled to snowy SB to from Syracuse to cheer on their team and come away with a great victory. I wish the Syracuse program the best and hope the Irish can someday rise to prominence again.

Good cop/bad cop. Every station has both. It's not about the cops, and no one was aiming at them. Someone always has to cry about something. I personally don't think it was the correct thing to do. Poor judgement and NO class. Sorry the Police Officer was in the middle of it. Humerous to some, not to all

Hey 420, it's simple to make a type-o error. I can tell you are a ND fan, you have no class just like the rude kids that go there. Was that one of your children throwing the snow, I am sure you raised them to be just like you. Apparently you make no mistakes, I am sorry for not properly doing a spell ck just for you. Are you the new comment monitor? Would you kindly leave yours out next time? Must you poke a stick at someone else for you have nothing better to say? Thats ND for ya at its best.

Monday, Nov 24 at 11:03 AM Stick wrote ...

I couldn't agree any more with CharliesBiggestfan. It's not about football at ND it's about the money. For the past 20 plus years the ND community has become more concerned about the 'take' and less about quality of the game. ND has not been a factor in college football for at least 20 years. Let's look at other teams who deserve our attention.

I am not a ND fan, but what moran would pay for tickets to go to a game and then throw snowballs at the team you went to see play!? ND fans who threw snowballs should be ashamed! Whether the team is winning or losing isn't a fan one who sticks with the team no matter what the record is?!

OK say we fire Weis then what? We start over again and lose all the recruits including the star running back coming in? Great idea. For all those that are saying Urban Meyer, why in the world would he leave Florida to come here and Skip Holtz....Please, he is just as bad as his old man. Lou was a great motivator but not a good coach. Look at Lou's assistants, all great. That is why lou was successful and even that did not last.

Typical ND fans. I cannot understand how an institution like ND can have a fan base with such of a lack of class and complete absence of sportsmanship. I wonder if the people throwing the snowballs were the same people that declared Weis the best coach since Rockne after his 2nd year.

No, "common sense", of which you obviously don't have, it is NOT funny that a "cop" (the proper term is Police Officer) got hit by a snowball. It shows a lack of respect, a lack of disipline and a lack of self control. It's not funny and I am so sick and darn tired of you people knocking Law Enforcement. It was anything but funny.

Just another case of poor sportsmanship at ND home of the crying irish - we don't win so get rid of the coach.

Monday, Nov 24 at 8:07 AM Wow wrote ...

This is just a symptom of losing at a place where losing is not accepted. After a season where the schedule was weak/bad ND was expected to win 8 or 9 games, the school is talking BOWL game. A 6-6 record is bowl material? Years ago an 8-3 record got an Independence Bowl bid...and was denied. (We know it wasn't enough $$ but media said players voted it down..right) 6-4-1 record once got them a Fiesta Bowl...more $$$. ND will only go if the $$ is good or will cover the entourage that travels free!

what I don't understand is when ND doesn't win the fans always want the coach fired. Purdue has had bad years and good years and I never heard fire Tiller. Coach Tiller retired from Purdue this year and it was good to see that he was able to get the oaken bucket back to his team.

Under CW's mind set, Donald Trump's limo driver is just as responsible for his success/fame-he drove him to the meetings. Let's face reality, this is a very arrogant (unproven) man who was the #3 guy behind two HOF coaches; he clearly learned nothing. It would be different if CW had some humility, but his self professed 'straight talking B.A. jersey-style' needs to to focused on himself and the product he is putting out on the field. Is this what 3 million dollars will get you? App. please

HAHAHA If I was there I would been aiming for weis. After this long their fans have even had enough. It's time they make some change. I wouldn't spend my money to watch ND loose again and again.

They are the laughin stock of college teams, thanks for another good year charlie!

Did I miss something in the article the rest of you saw or am I mireading it. It states fans sitting in the student section. Were these grown people or students?

With that being said you had your chances CW time to step down and move on.

Charlie Wies is not Bill Parcells, or Lou Holtz. He doesnt preach the ND spirit to his players and the fans like Lou used to and he does not know what it takes to consistantly motivate a top notch division 1A program. He's a pro off. coordinator that will be a pro head coach someday. He has already realized that he does not belong in the college ranks. Hire our assitant head coach and former georgia tech coach and do it next year but not to a decade long contract. It is about Rah, Rah !!!

If this loss to Syracuse this doesn't solidify the case for firing Charlie Weis, then nothing will. This loss is an embarrassment to the university, and an indicator that Mr. Weis has no idea how to prepare or coach an offense in game-time situations. Kevin White really did Notre Dame a disservice by extending a 10-year contract to an unproven egomaniac. It is not the players' fault.

That's 3 games the Irish GAVE away! These players do not look pumped up! Charlie has this layed back, calm attitude, but at some point, or how most successful coaches are all the time, have an attitude. How can the players have a "GO FOR THE JUGULAR" attitude when their leader, their coach, their example DOES NOT! After last year I thought he'd start the season off from day 1 with a ticked off attitude, but no, still the same ole Ho Hum, Chuckle get'em next game. Get MAD!

Saturday, Nov 22 at 10:06 PM Cornfusion wrote ...

You know, the first thing I thought when the Syracuse team took the field and the fans 'boo'd' was, "What A class act this whole program has become." And it was intensified by the fact that they had just memorialized Knute Rockne and talked about not only the winning tradition but the moral integrity the players, coaches and university brought to college football. Knute looking down? I think he was probably watching the Michigan-Ohio State game.
