BEANO COOK ON CLAUSEN SIGNING WITH ND
And we thought all we’d have to post about this afternoon was UF practice…Jimmy Clausen, megaprep qb, subject of his own ESPN profile as a sophomore in high school, and the most lusted after 16-year old since Lindsey Lohan, has opted to sign with Notre Dame. Something about “groomed Tom fuckin’ Brady” and “wins football games by passing;” we dunno, really, as it was nearly impossible to hear over the collective screams of hysteria and hosannas from the assembled Notre Dame grads.
As Joey said: get your condoms. The wankfest over this could rival that surrounding Tim Tebow prior to his commitment to Florida; in fact, go ahead and pencil in the surpassing of the Tebow story since ESPN’s reps are no doubt negotiating at this moment with Clausen’s parents for their own Tebow-style documentary on Clausen’s senior season. The Ipecac storyline has already written itself, and look forward to getting ramrodded Clausen stories as part of your media diet for the next two years–so good you’ll puke from all the pleasure!
Beano Cook, when notified of the breaking story, had the following response.
–Proclaimed Clausen as the first ever “Clausen Award Winner,” given in lieu of the Heisman which will completely suck following the wake of Clausen’s first season. (We’ve already claimed Clausenpundit.com, so don’t even try it.)
–Fed a signed 8X10 of Clausen to his dog, waited for dog to shit out said photo, and then rolled in the papery poo to express his pleasure.
–Had Clausen’s name tatooed on his forehead to demonstrate his loyalty.
–Named remaining functioning kidney “Jimmy.”

Beano: excited about Clausen.

this just in: notre dame can be good without usc being bad. and vice versa. it’s not a zero sum game.
for the first time since 2002 there are question marks about usc’s players- they could go 10-3 or 13-0. this is news only because they were formerly invincible. who knew leinart would be as good as palmer, for longer? predictions of doom with the newly re-loaded trojans are foolish, because its likely that the players coming up are just as good as the ones leaving- if anything they’ve been more highly touted.
and its also obvious that anyone making the willingham-weis comparisons, or knocking the ability of weis and his staff hasn’t seen that much of notre dame. which is fine, this is a primarily sec blog, and why should they care about nd? but those who have seen more than a couple games in the last few years and have observed the program closely can see a marked change. healthy skepticism on the part of others is fine, and in fact encouraged. charlie hardly has a history of failing to meet expectations.

I’ll concede that Weis hasn’t beaten a top flight team yet and that the “genius head coach” tag is a bit premature. That said, I’d wager that the vast majority of ND fans wouldn’t dream of trading coaches with any of y’all. Anyone who watched what Ty did with essentially the same team the year before (not to mention the yearly quota of 2 blowout losses during his tenure) has got to be an idiot not to understand why we’re so excited.

Interesting.
So Reggie Bush’s family may have been living in a house provided by an agent? Is this Fulmer Cup eligible?

ND Fans:
I have had it with you cottonpickers!
A bunch of posts on this thread by Weis acolytes and not one of them funny or even clever. Even UGA fans are funny (now and then).
Just a bunch of gloaters over a kid that turned down both USC’s Carrol and USC’s Spurrier – two proven winners of championships as “the Man” and not as the “Caddy”. (For those of you domers low on brain power, South Carolina is locally known as the ‘original USC’.)
The Clownsens sending their third brat out of Calif is par for the course. I think the other two went to Cheeto-hand-stained Fullmer land. Young Clownsen had no intention of staying in Calif and actually trying to compete for a job. Like many jackballs that I know of, he wants everything handed to him in a silver platter and if Rodney Dangerfield Weis had to do it, he had to do it…
Regarding the Clownsen signing, I have not seen such giddy celebrating by Arrogant people since Trump and Melania named THEIR new boy – “BARRON”.

All you need to know about what the Clausen signing means is this; a California High School QB announces his intention to go to ND and it’s the 2d story of the program on Sunday Morning’s New England Sports Network(NESN)sports program, right after the story about the Red Sox losing to the Blue Jays. ND’s front page news again all over the country and whether or not Clausen pans out, ND will be, for the foreseeable future, in on every major recruit.
F*** you, John Saunders.

From an inside source…
Clausen committed to ND over USC because the house they were building for him was not going to be as big as Bush’s.

FINALLY! Something funny from Domerland.
Just hope your Napoleon-Dynamite-type-domers can keep the material going….

Comparing the housing markets in South Bend with SoCal, you could probably buy up 1/4 of South Bend for the price of the free house used by the Bush family.

Clausen’s over-rated anyway. You can have him.
The Gamecocks have Spurrier and you don’t.

Now hold on Charleston:
On your side of the ledger we have Todd Ellis and and Steve Tanneyhill.
On the other side we have Montana, Theisman and Brady.
OK, now I see why you are saying he’s overrated. Thanks for clearing that up!

wait, now let me get this straight qdogbro, notre dame is now retroactively claiming tom brady as an alumni quarterback? did you write an article for The Onion a few months back?

Nick, he was referring to Brady Quinn, not Tom Brady. But nice attempt at witty reparte. Time to fire your writers.

Its fun to hear someone other than uga fans say “we’re back!” after a single season… we leashed ‘em 14 of the past 16 years and ’04’s victory still has ‘em commenting on “the broken curse” and expecting better days to come. And I’d take the Ole Ball Coach any day over anyone out there… if anyone can make a pickle out of a sow’s ear its SOS.

Brady Quinn? Oh, here I thought he was trying to group together qb’s that actually have accomplishments.

SKLM -
Finally. I was wondering when you would chime in. I figured you must have been mad as hell to have not taken any gratuitous “fat Charles” shots.

So I just looked it up online and Clausen’s 20 and still in High School, WTF? Is he stupid, or did his oparents hold him back so he’d have an edge (which if you think about it is even more on an issue)?

Clausen isn’t 20. He’s 18. He’ll be 19 when he enrolls at ND.
