The big news coming out of the University of Notre Dame as far as football goes is Coach Charlie Weis’ comments the other day which declared that the competition for playing time at the position of quarterback is going to be between three people: Jimmy Clausen, Demetrius Jones and Evan Sharpley. This specifically left out one of the main contenders, Zach Frazer. There are indications that Frazer will look to transfer schools. If he does, and he plays for a Division-1 NCAA school, he will be required to sit out for one year. After that, he will have have four years of eligibility remaining.
But don’t you think that Weis made a pretty bad mistake? You can’t just tell a guy he’s not good enough and then send him packing to another school with a chip on his shoulder and a score to settle. This is just setting up a Rose Bowl between Notre Dame’s Weis and USC’s Frazer, where the scorned QB will get a shot at redemption.
To see this inevitable future battle, you’ll have to get Notre Dame Fighting Irish tickets at StubHub.com for the 2011 Rose Bowl.
