Yeah, so, it being the off-season and all, apparently I slipped and let a few Fridays pass without doing a roundup. And seeing as how our
readership has responded (based on stats of Google Analytics), you've all not taken too kindly to it, and decided to spend your time elsewhere. I'm looking at you, Mr. "I Think My Time Is Better Spent Over At HelloKittyFunLand.com."
Consider this a feeble appology.
The Roundup:
- SMQ picked up on a piece by the South Bend Tribune's Eric Hansen about ND's young QB (and my personal favorite to take the starting job), Demetrius Jones. Poor Eric. He's probably just now getting a hang of Jersey lingo. Now he's gonna have to learn about the G-Code. Clearly Eric never attended 40s at 4 on ND's campus, where the malt liquor flowed like beer, and the late 90s gangsta rap was celebrated like the works of a modern day Bach.
- We're not saying that USC's Brian Cushing takes/took performance enhancing drugs. We're just saying that his lately-apparent man-boobs are the least of his worries this spring. And it makes us wonder if we should find it all ironic or not.
- SEC Football Fans are in mourning this week as they've now been moved down to #3 in the ranking of most psychotic sports fans in the history of the world - right behind Columbian soccer fans and Pakistani cricket fans.

Demetrius says that he’s not worried about Jimmy Clausen, but I’m getting an uneasy feeling about that young man.
Most of the unease comes from the fact that his father seems very hands-on – from buying the house near campus for his kid so that he’s got somewhere to “hide out”, to telling the Chicago Sun-Times that Jimmy’s not fully-fit for Spring Training even though CW says that there’s no problem.
I hope he gets out of the kid’s way sometime soon. I don’t see Clausen being an ND student-athlete when he’s being ridden by his dad, who seems to want to make up for Jimmy’s siblings not getting as far as he wanted them to. It’s not all about the NFL at Notre Dame.
Demetrius gets my vote as starter right now.

I don’t think it’s Jimmy’s dad that wants him to succeed where his brothers didn’t, but rather Jimmy wanting to make it to the NFL because he saw first hand the pain his brother went through when he wasn’t drafted. You can’t blame Mr. Clausen for being a little protective, Jimmy is under heavy scrutiny by the media.
