I like how the announcers last night routinely referred to the cause of the black eye as a cowardly cheap shot outside a South Bend bar. As if that story has been confirmed at this point, but hey, he's the QB for Jesus U. No way he'd be anything less than an upstanding young citizen.

Can somebody post a screenshot of Clausen's black eye? He was on post-game last night with quite a shiner on the left eye, showing it much clearer than this.

Best I can find. Covered it pretty well with the eye black. Unless others have one following the game (post-game interviews).

It still paled in comparison to Mike Patrick's attempted defense of JC from all the "hate on the internet" in the wake of his Hummer limo announcement. ESPiN picks their favorites and defends them to the end...no matter what the evidence.

The Notre Dame football season is officially over.Athletic director Jack Swarbrick announced Friday that the school has decided against going to a bowl game with a 6-6 record, citing "unique circumstances." He didn't elaborate, but Swarbrick fired coach Charlie Weis after five seasons earlier this week and the search for a replacement is under way.


Swarbrick said he reached the decision after meetings with assistant coaches and team leaders.
"The unique circumstances surrounding our program at the current time prevent us from making the commitment required to compete in a bowl game," Swarbrick said in a prepared statement.


Weis was the team's offensive coordinator, so the team wouldn't have had an experienced play caller for a bowl game. The school also likely would have lost money because their only option would have been a minor bowl.
There also have been questions about how motivated players and coaches would have been for the game.



Players actually met this week to discuss whether to play in a bowl.

Just for the record, they turned down the BCS championship game this year.
