UPDATE: Notre Dame football coach Charlie Weis wants to move on — desperately — from more than one embarrassment.

After last season’s disastrous 3-9 season, Weis took a lesson out of the Bill Belichick School of Press Conferences today, repeatedly using the phrase “let’s move on” when asked about an assortment of topics.

“We’re not saying one word about last season,” Weis said at a media conference today. “It’s August 2008. There is not one word. You will not hear one word out of anyone about 2007. It’s August 2008. I’ll answer any questions about August 2008.”

But Coach- what about the off-season, when starting quarterback Jimmy Clausen played in the Beer Olympics?

Q. Your thoughts on the pictures that appeared online earlier this week and what happens from here?
COACH WEIS: I’m going to answer that in two sentences. First of all, I think the obvious thing, on a serious note, I think it’s important that I don’t condone underage drinking. I think that’s important to say.
But that being said and no sarcastic moment really meant to be, but give me a break. Let’s move on on.

Q. Well, let me ask you this –
COACH WEIS: Let’s move on.

Q. I’m going to ask you this question anyway. The players, let’s face it, they are underage and they pose for a picture in a situation that allegedly is questionable. They were in a position where they were allegedly drinking. Your thoughts on that?
COACH WEIS: Alleged by who?

Q. The website said they were participating in something called the Beer Olympics.
COACH WEIS: I said let’s give them a break and let’s move on. That’s as far as I’m going to say. I’m not going to take it any further than that.

Q. Not going to be any discipline?
COACH WEIS: Let’s move on on.
