Marijuana charge dismissed against ND quarterback
Tribune correspondent report
A misdemeanor marijuana possession charge against University of Notre Dame quarterback Demetrius Jones was dismissed Wednesday after testimony from another person indicated that the marijuana did not belong to Jones.
According to court documents in LaPorte Superior Court III, the registered owner of the vehicle Jones was driving on May 17, when Jones was arrested during a traffic stop on the Indiana Toll Road by Indiana State Police, testified that he allowed Jones to borrow his vehicle to drive from Chicago to South Bend.
To the best of the car owner’s knowledge, court documents said, Jones did not know there was marijuana in the ashtray.

this is too funny. jones didn't know that there was some stinky weed in the ashtray... riiiiiiiiiight. where is this ashtray? in the trunk below the spare tire? i wonder if an anonymous letter that asked them to be heroes was sent to the authorities.
probably just racial profiling...I'm also wondering why he was stopped in the first place. The article doesn't mention if he was stopped for speeding, etc.

Clausen-Jones battle should provide Dame good drama
As momentous occasions go, it's not exactly the season finale of 24. In fact, you might just want to go ahead and TiVo it.
The significance of Wednesday's announcement at Notre Dame won't be felt until the fall at the earliest, and maybe not even then. But this being ND, half the world will be salivating while the other half will be hating. So Charlie Weis might as well make an event out of it.
...
Clausen has a stage-father dad who proclaimed in March that his son had been throwing with a sore arm since his senior year in high school. That might put Clausen behind Jones, a Chicago kid, who at least has the feet to help Notre Dame survive a brutal early schedule.
Or does it matter, because at the bottom of this boiling pot of Irish stew is mediocrity. Start with the premise, Domers, that your team will not compete for the national championship. Double-digit wins would be a slightly smaller upset.
Cont'd ...
