Pete Sampson on Jimmy Clausen

[Riddickulous]

"No words sufficiently describe the admiration for Jimmy Clausen. He took a hit that would have knocked the normal quarterback out of the game. But he scraped himself off the ground, gathered himself, returned to action and nearly led Notre Dame back from a two-touchdown deficit. The kid is an absolute warrior, and that doesn't come close to doing him justice. If there was any doubt before, it should be put to rest. He's the best quarterback in Notre Dame history."

Pretty nice thing to say.

who does he write for? I hope people respect that opinion

Too bad him and Floyd and Tate are a 3 man team and the rest of the bunch are a bunch of effin hacks.

The defense gave up the same play for 30 yards a pop all game long.

Do we have a running game? I figured when your O line outweighed each man by 60 lbs you might be able to gain a yard here or there on a run play, especially in the red zone.

2 losses to Navy for Weis. 0 the previous 400 years. At home to boot.

Without Clausen, we would probably be 2-7. If he could've thrown a few TDs in the first half, instead of stalling in the redzone, it would've been an epic performance. 452 yards!

Manti is no hack. Kyle McCarthy is no hack. Darius Fleming is no hack. The defense deserves a lot of crap today, but mind your tongue when calling these student athletes who represent ND "hacks." WTF have you ever done on the field?

Yes, we do have a running game. When Navy gets on you 14-0, it gets tossed out the window because you don't have the TIME or possessions.

Hack was being kind. The Navy players couldnt buy a bus ticket to an official visit to ND yet they came in here and made Notre Dame look dumb. Navy deserved to win. They had a decided schematic advantage all day long.

Stop trolling. Seriously.

Go ahead and defend today. Give me the good ole excuse weve all got so good at inventing.

I know, '10 is the year! Everybody will be back and the defense blah blah blah.

Not with this regime. Its always gonna be this shit with this regime.

Lets see if the MRI comes back showing anything before we lionize Jimmy Clausen for being a tough guy. I've noticed Jimmy taking extra time getting up and limping a little harder when Notre Dame is losing or has lost a game. Personally I think he's a little dramatic and I think he wants to make it look like he isn't 100% when ND loses.

He's a fine college quarterback but this writer--surprise, surprise from Irish Illustrated--has pretty jaundiced point of view. I'm sure some of his points warrant merit....but I'm sure that he taylors his writing to his audience, too.

Feel free to abandon the team at any time. From all I read, seems like you hop on and off the bandwagon faster than Cortney Love goes in and out of rehab.

This part is hard to argue, but calling an ND student athlete a hack is pretty pathetic.

I think she just gave up.

Maybe he's just getting tired of getting whacked.

Unfortunately, this is the truest statement that will be made on this board this year.
