Will Clausen Start for the Irish?

Although the Hot Meter at FanNation has this story well into the pink, one has to wonder: is it that big of a question whether Jimmy Clausen will start for the Fighting Irish next season? But, here we are, months and months away from next year’s college football season and we’re already speculating about the starting QB for Notre Dame.

There’s going to be a long, long offseason of speculation, folks, so you had better get used to it. Check out this little blurb about Jimmy Clausen at SportsIllustrated.com’s FanNation subsite. But try to keep the hotness level down, folks.

About the only substantive thing in this article is the fact that Jimmy will be without competition in most of the spring practices- being that Evan Sharpley, his main competition before Dayne Crist gets to South Bend, is an awesome baseball player and will be playing some hardball for the Irish this semester. The extra time will give Jimmy an advantage, but all bets are off once Evan and Dayne get their hands on the most coveted steering wheel in college football.
