I recently found out from a trustworthy source who I cannot name that ND freshman QB Jimmy Clausen recently underwent elbow surgery. Supposedly he will miss the entire season. Whether that means the recovery period covers the length of the season or ND will choose to redshirt him is unclear. With Clausen out the two leading candidates for the job would be Demetrius Jones and Evan Sharpley. I hope this is wrong.

If this is true, and I hope to God it isn't true, then you have to assume Jones will be the starter. Sharpley would be a waste of a year in my opinion. Also, this will set up an unbelievable quarterback race next year between Jones, Clausen, and Crist, the number four ranked quarterback in next year's class.
Crist would have no chance whatsoever, just imagine if Clausen weren't in the picture, it'd be Crist against Jones, who himself, was a top 5 Qb, and the #1 dual-threat QB in America coming out of high school. Crist would have no clue of the offense either. But Clausen/Jones part 2 would be crazy. Assuming this won't be a naggin injury and he beats out Jones next year, this will actually help Clausen's college career since he'll be playing with better teams.
You lie like a rug.
The Irish are just taking the year off in anticipation for the arrival of Kyle Rudolph.
sounds like you dropped a log
Guys, this doctor is not his patient, and I'm almost positive he got this surgery in CA (why the hell would he get it in SB?), but he's got to see doctor's while he's in South Bend, and word travels fast...
I have on could faith he did have surgery.. He is NOT out for the year at all. That part is not true at all. Very minor surgery.
Phil
Phil, didn't really understand the post, can you rephrase?? You know he had the surgery but it's minor?? Or you're guessing that's the case?
You folks are absolute morons if you think Charlie would have let Jimmy play spring ball if he was truly injured.
For a moment just say its true.. CW would only keep two QB's and let ZF walk?
Maybe you idiots could simply ask someone like Mike Frank.. Oh I forgot, buzzsaw has a better site than Mike does.. For those that don't know.. it is called irish eyes..
Get a life you freaks

There's nothing more badass then anonymously calling someone out on a blog post. Why can't you guys accept that this might actually be true. We don't know for sure what happened but we heard something from a reliable source and posted it. We'll find out soon enough if any of this is true. I for one hope it isn't.
I saw this link on several ND sites.. You are getting bashed pretty good on irisheyes and others. With that said, you are defending what you have heard very well. In todays 24/7 news, the web, etc.. Someone would have confirmed this. Even with "bone spurs", which is minor surgery, he would be in a sling.. That would not have been kept quite. No way in hell, especially in USC territory! My two cents

Does Fred Derlic still operate on ND players?
Sorry. Fred Ferlic.
Yes, I believe Dr. Ferlic is still affiliated with the university athletic med staff, but I think his specialization is in foot/leg injuries. Also, I did hear that much of the med staff is staying at work late tonight and "that only happens when something big is going on at this point in the off-season" to quote another source.
Jimmy Clausen will fail at ND, just like Ron Powlus. I hope the other guys keep him on the bench.
One of the members of the Irish Illustrated staff has shot this down completely. It's not true.
What did they say? Who did they talk to?
They said the rumor is not true and they have confirmed that Clausen will be out there on August 6th for the first day of practice.
Not true as in there was no surgery? Or not true as in he will be ready to practice this Fall? Hope he is okay, but it is not a big deal if he misses some time this season. The Irish are headed for a 4-6 loss campaign in any event.
Not that we needed any more proof that this is totally fabricated but here it is anyway. A poster on Irish Illustrated has spoken to Marc Tyler who confirmed that all the injury rumors for Clausen are 100% false.
this has to be a rumor made up by USC fans.
Now I am for sure getting a "FUSC" shirt, they need to mind their own business.
i think this is a rumor by iu fans that didnt apply themselves enough to get into nd and like to cause trouble.
damn townies
ESPN has reported that Clausen did recieve a procedure on his elbow. However, the article said he will be ready for the start of fall practice. He is fine.
So what exactly did Marc Tyler report?? That all the injury rumors are 100% false?? That's what happens when you take everything from the ND athletic department as infallible, I love the team, but the men behind the scenes are liars. I have a feeling this is going to snowball, I still believe he's out for the season. All you haters should just pretend for a second that this is actually true .. what would the athletic department do?? Tell everyone he's done for the season? or release the information as slowly as possible. I'm pretty sure if they said Clausen was done about 25% of ND Nation would have a heart attack.
As for the "funny none of you go to Notre Dame" comment, you are clearly a douche, why would I lie about that??
Stupid townies making up rumors! Shame on you!
(If you genius anonymous people can't figure out, that is called "sarcasm.") www.dictionary.com will give you it's meaning if necessary.
exactly buzz and guy. Stupid idiots who can't say anything now. The feeling of being right never gets old . buzz is right, ND's AD dept. would say Clausen is ready for Spring practice unless they were more than sure that he was definately going to be out. I would write more about this write now, but our trusty editor will be posting a response sometime soon. He will explain why Irish fans might want to think logically about Clausen's situation. If they do, they will most likely realize that it really doesn't make much sense for him to play this year and risk further arm damage.
Twain
Who cares...ND was gonna be worthless anyways with or without clausen. too bad he couldnt play bc he would get eaten alive vs. USC. ND is and wont be on the same level as USC as long as Pete is here... GO TROJANS!!!
do ppl outside of the bend read this POS
also daris do you still have the nappy fro?
Do you annonymous bashers realize how pathetic you are?? I can appreciate the fact that a bunch of ND fans didn't believe this story and wrote saying it was wrong, but clearly there is at least some truth to it, otherwise ND wouldn't have announced anything. I do not respect personal attacks against Daris, if you know him God knows you wouldn't do it to his face, he'd make you feel like the bitch you are.
why cause he is big and black?!
you f-ing racist
i am black too..and he is a sellout hanging with you crackers
What is it exactly that makes him a sellout? The fact that he is successful on his own accord, the fact that he is well spoken or the fact that he doesnt choose his friends based on the color of their skin? I dont even know the kid but from what it seems like there isnt much wrong with him.
This is a post about Jimmy Clausen and his elbow. This is not a post about what you think Daris should do with his life/who he should associate with. Stick to the issue or get the fuck out.
You were wrong. Big deal. We are all wrong every once in awhile. Heck, the fact that he may be out the entire year with an injury may or may not be wrong - we simply dont know.
Sometimes you just have to tuck your tiny dick between your legs and cut your losses.
so now you are sexist?
just bc i talk about darius makes me a dude and gives me a penis?
my name is stephanie and i am way more woman than you could handle
Anonymous Tony ... I'm an Irish Eyes member, and Mike Frank didn't put this rumor down, in fact, he said this "It's quite possible this could be true. No way for me to "confirm" it, but I wouldn't dismiss it so easily." Just thought everyone should know how ridiculous the guys talking shit here are being. Mike Frank isn't even dismissing it, he's from a site, you might have heard of it, called Irish Eyes
sexist?? Sexist would imply I said something either against women or stating that men were somehow superior to women. By making a comment in the form of an analogy I in no way insulted you as a woman or any woman for that matter.
As I said before. Stick to the issue at hand - when you can back up anything you have said with facts I will listen to your ranting. Until then, grab a smirnoff and your favorite US Weekly and shut the fuck up.
My god man, the goal of this blog wasn't to start some big time national news media source; it’s just a couple of friends who like talking and arguing sports. All of this "loser" talk strikes me as odd as you seem to be sitting at your computer 24/7 trying to defend yourself and offend others.
Does anyone outside of South Bend read this blog? Yes, I do because I live in Louisville and some of my (white) friends enjoy it down here (since that’s the route you've decided to take on this board). Beyond that who knows, and I don’t think any of us really care to tell you the truth.
Seriously bud, grow up. I must have somehow offended you back in the day. You're like Steve Buschemi in Billy Madison. I'd suspect you have one of those "People to Kill Lists" up on your wall. I just hope you don’t wear lipstick when you’re feeling lonely.
Enjoy life, respect yourself enough to argue out in the open (not behind that cowardly anonymous), let this nappy headed kid associate with the people he finds most intelligent and educated, and grow up.
As I said yesterday, bungling personal attacks are always more dull and unfulfilling then you think.
Remember, you can never offend me with your comments because I know you’re beneath me and the people I respect. I’ve seen and heard it all before, and it takes a little more to get me agitated.
Always think.

Nice work on putting together a very interesting post. Fabulous ideas and very helpful information. Well thought out and well written.
Clausen, who graduated from high school one semester early, enrolled at Notre Dame on January 16, 2007.In Notre Dame's only preseason practice open to the media, Clausen threw only a number of short passes, casting some doubt on the strength of his arm after off-season elbow surgery
Oh my god!!! This is so very incredibly amazing. Couldn’t thought that something as interesting as this was still in the oblivion. Your piece of work is just astounding. Congo dude!!!
Really only a deep thinker like you could come out with such wonderful ideas. Great analysis and in-depth thinking. The accuracy and detailed explanation is something which differentiates your piece of work from others.
Obligatory comment on topic: Clausen wasn't going to make much of a splash this season, but he definitely could've used the seasoning (pardon the pun).

Hi, thanks for the info, I ordered Phentermine from medstown.com I used Phentermine myself to help me lose a lot of weight, and it works great, so far this is the best fat loss medication I've ever used, I had ordered it from medstown.com I highly recommend it.
I really like the Huffington Post, and I think writers who are struggling to get a break will appreciate the opportunity to do some free work just to get their name 'out there'. Hope it comes to more cities (and maybe even countries) soon.
I also wanted to say that our oldest daughter bought us a new stove and it is just wonderful because even though it came with loads of instructions, it is very satisfying to use, just push buttons and mix up your recipe and place it in the oven and viola, wonderful, unburnt food...what a glorious feeling it gives me. It is a most magnificent jewel of our kitchen. It will be a pleasure to use when the holidays are upon us. My husband and I are very happy about our new acquisition!
To defeat their own is the most tragic failure of their own to overcome their victory is the most valuable!
