It is no secret that I hate Jimmy Clausen. I think he is a whinny little prick. I have thought he was overrated and overhyped from the day his spiked head stepped out of the Hummer strech limo on national television to announce that he was going to save Notre Dame from the doldrums of Division I futility.
In three years he has done nothing of the sort. ND has lost big game after big game, but somehow, because they are Notre Dame, and people grew up watching their dads watching Notre Dame, they remain in the national spot-light, every year.
Following Saturday's thrilling last second victory, the conversation was not about Stanford and their Heisman Trophy candidate running back Toby Gerhart...
What was left out of this highlight was Gerhart absolutly Beasting the saftey for Notre Dame that left the young golden domer searching the field for his displaced dignity.
I enjoy few things more in sports than watching Notre Dame suffer. This was awesome.
That black eye is symbolic of all the unfufilled promises of Jimmy Clausen's tenure with the Irish.

You probably didn't stay up for the classiness that was UCLA-USC... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVpyI6eWvwQ
I am actually a casual fan of Pete Carroll and how he does things, although I am sure I am in the minority.
What this video did not show was Dick Neuheisel calling a time-out after USC took a knee forcing them to snap the ball again. Carroll was doing the "classy" thing and ending the game without running up the score.
You can see the look on Caroll's face after the touchdown, basically looking across the field and shouting "F-you".
Then the UCLA players start making their way across the field while the vast majority of USC players are staying on their sideline (with a few exceptions).
Neuheisel has tried to play up his team's importance in the LA market by boasting about how tough they are.
This is the type of thing that happens when you tell a group of 18-22 year old young men that they have been disrepected and need to assert their manhood.
Careful what you ask for Ricky.
