Notre Dame’s Clause Called Phony

I haven’t been exactly nice when talking about Jimmy Clausen in the past. I don’t think he’s a horrible player, but I do think that he’s arrogant for no reason. Jimmy Clausen’s biggest fan is Jimmy Clausen.

I’m not the only one who recognizes the douche-baggery going on with Notre Dame’s quarterback. Apparently, before teh Boston College game, he was talking trash and even pushed another player. Now this is all according to BC player Rich Gunnell, so you have to take the report for what it is.

After the incident and the game, though, Gunnell says that Clausen put on another face and came over to thank the Eagles for a good game.

“Afterwards, he was trying to be all friendly. It just rubbed me the wrong way. It seemed real fake. He tried to push one of my teammates. He tried to say good game. I thought it was phony.’’

Boston College lost to Notre Dame 20 – 16 in a hard-fought game. Whether or not Clausen is “phony” doesn’t change the fact that this was a much-needed win for the Fighting Irish. This year has been extremely lackluster, and personally, I think coach Charlie Weis should start packing his bags.
