Former Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis didn’t invent the cheeseburger, but he did invent Notre Dame football’s cheeseburger week. After Notre Dame’s win over UCLA in 2006, the Irish were jumped in the polls by the Florida Gators and Tennessee Volunteers. In a press conference that week, Weis gave one of his more memorable quotes:
“One of the teams [Tennessee] that jumped us had the same game that we had. They’re down, they’re playing at home and they win by a field goal,” Weis said at the time.
