Notre Dame Quarterback Jimmy Clausen Punched In Face

I haven't been doing this very long compared to some people, but I'm pretty certain that if any random straw poll of fans was asked to respond to the question "Which college football player would you most like to punch in the face?" no player over the last five years would finish in the same ballpark as Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen, the perfect storm of hype, hair gel and unearned entitlement at the most high profile position in the most widely-despised program in America. Not that Jimmy deserves to be punched in the face or anywhere else, of course, but still -- there are no doubt a lot of smiling people tonight living vicariously through an anonymous patron of CJ's in South Bend, where Clausen was reportedly dealt at least one shiner a few hours after the Irish's deflating double-OT loss to UConn:

Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen was attacked by an irate fan. ESPN reports that Jimmy Clausen was punched in the face outside of a South Bend restaurant early Sunday morning.The report claims that a fan attacked Clausen after he had dinner with his parents and left him with a swollen eye. The fan allegedly said something toJimmy Clausen and/or a female acquaintance.The alleged attack took place hours after the Fighting Irish lost an overtime game to Connecticut.There is no police report to confirm any details.
