Notre Dame star quarterback Jimmy Clausen has reportedly suffered a shiner due to a punch after 2:00 AM Sunday Morning in South Bend, Indiana. No solid details have emerged yet, but I can only guess someone called his daddy Charlie Weis an oversized blowhole or it was a rabid Notre Dam fan taking out his frustration on Clausen for another disappointing year of football. This fight couldn’t come at a worse time if you consider all the drama currently surrounding the Fighting Irish. I’m sure there will be enough time for Clausen to heal, but the swelling will need to go down for him to play at Stanford this coming Saturday. I bet Jimmy is super ready to bounce out of Notre Dame and move on to the NFL and get that fat paycheck. The NFL will definitely cater to his primadonna attitude.
Time to Take Your Ball and Go Home Charlie
Senior day in South Bend has been hit with an unforgiveable, appalling, disastrous loss for the second straight year under head coach Charlie Weis. UConn is obviously much better than the heavily underrated and flat out bad Syracuse squad that came into Notre Dame last year and took down the Irish. Notre Dame has now lost three games in a row during a time when everyone has been talking about how Charlie is in deep trouble and needs every win he can get. He has a winning percentage now that is worse than Bob Davie and Ty Willingham which doesn’t benefit Weis at all. In one way this is flat out embarrassing to Irish nation. In another way this will ultimately lead to total relief. The Charlie Weis era is officially done!
