2 things:
1. If you were to check any reputable Notre Dame football blogs and message boards, you'd find optimism and excitement over this year because the chip has returned to the shoulders of players and coaches alike. No one ever expects much from the underdog. Check out <link> to see what its staff is predicting for the Irish this season.
2. Notre Dame QB-hopeful Jimmy Clausen was not arrested; rather he was cited outside a popular South Bend liquor store a stone's throw from campus because he was with legal-aged friends who were buying alcohol, a situation not a;; that rare for many college-aged people. He was indeed guilty of bad judgment and should have known better, especially with his new place in the public eye cemented more every day. But to give you an idea of the situation, if a father went into the store, bought a bottle of wine, and returned to his car where his children had been waiting, they all could have been cited. Gotta love South Bend, where you can't even buy alcohol on Sundays.
GO IRISH!
