The Hits Keep on Coming for Notre Dame

So Notre Dame lost another game at home, this time to Connecticut. Charlie Weis is on the hot seat, the team has lost three straight, and players to the NFL seems likely.Then this happens, Jimmy Clausen gets punched outside a bar in South Bend the morning after the double-overtime loss. The black eye that was given to the program materialized on their best player's face.

This is just what Notre Dame needs, their starting quarterback, who is having a phenomenal season in almost every aspect while already injured, getting sucker punched at two in the morning. What can possibly happen next? Where can this go? Are they going to lose to Stanford while scoring touchdowns on themselves as the Stanford Tree is playing defense?

Apparently what happened was that Clausen was at the bar with family and friends, and decided to leave around two in the morning. After his girlfriend had forgot her purse in the bar they returned to get it. On the way out she was pushed and Clausen said something to the person, as anybody would. Then he was sucker punched and the cops were called.

Now people are going to get on Clausen because they are Notre Dame and Clausen haters, calling him a "pussy" and a "loser" saying he just got beat up in a fight. You know, because all of those Internet tough guys were there, and they would have done it themselves. Clausen finally did what players should do, and walked away and stayed away from more trouble. For that I think he should be commended. Clausen will be wearing a visor for the game on Saturday following the black eye, but he is going to be alright to play.
