A song for Bob
Letter to the Editor


   In light of the recent losses by the Notre Dame Football team, I felt compelled to rewrite the lyrics to a Blink-182 song called "What's My Age Again?"

I ran 'em out, it was a Saturday, I wore headphones, so I could call the plays. We started playing well, we had almost scored, But then I called the last time out ...

And that's about the time we lost because of me. Nobody loves you when you're Bob Davie. And you still coach like it's your first year here. Where the hell's my passing game, the crowd says I should lose my job ...

Where's my job again? Where's my job again?

And later on, on the bus home, I called Scholastic from a cell phone. I said it was Bob and we had lost again but this time only by a yard ...

And that's about the time they all gave up on me. Nobody loves you when you're Bob Davie. You choose to punt when you have one to go, What the hell is special teams, the crowd says I should lose my job ...

Where's my job again? Where's my job again?

And that's about the time we lost because of me. Nobody loves you when you're Bob Davie. And you still coach like it's your first year here. What the hell is wrong with me, the crowd says I should lose my job. Where's my job again? And that's about the time that they let go of me. No one should take their football so seriously. With many years ahead to win 'em all. Why would you fire me, I only wanna keep my job ...

Where's my job again? Where's my job again?
