As autumn takes hold and the football season enters its seventh week, the landscape unique to each college season slowly reveals itself.
For a Heisman race that was one of the most highly anticipated in memory, what has emerged was not necessarily expected, but still filled with intrigue. With last year’s Heisman finalists all returning for another season, many expected Colt McCoy to wage battle with previous winners Tim Tebow and Sam Bradford. Yet the season has not gone according to plan, and whether it be injury or play worthy of mere mortals, the Heisman race is far from finished as the ides of October approach.
Summing up where Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen fits in all of this is a complicated proposition. By the numbers, Clausen deserves to be at the forefront of the Heisman discussion. He’s competing 67 percent of his throws, averaging 308 yards passing per game (his only sub 300-yard game was Purdue, where he sat out a large chunk), and has 12 touchdown passes against only 2 interceptions. Yet Clausen also has failed to pass any major test. While Notre Dame fans offer a clutch 4th-quarter drive in the last-second loss to Michigan, and valiant comeback victories against Purdue and Washington, Clausen has yet to engineer a singular “Heisman moment” that could catapult his candidacy ahead of mainstays McCoy and Tebow.
But Clausen is in a position to take the leap.
HeismanPundit.com is a website dedicated to “breaking down the politics of the most prestigious awards in sports.” Managed and edited by former USC assistant sports information director Chris Huston, Huston worked first-hand directing successful Heisman campaigns for former Trojan quarterbacks Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart. Huston coordinates the Heismanpundit/Orlando Sentinel Heisman Poll, a weekly survey of actual Heisman voters that was the most accurate predictor of all polls last season, and even became a Heisman voter in August of 2009. (Basically, he knows his stuff.)
Catching up with Chris yesterday night, he had this to say about Clausen’s candidacy.
“If Clausen leads the Irish to a win over USC, he’ll finally have that signature victory over a quality opponent that has eluded him for so long. Heisman voters know he’s good, they just don’t know if he’s good enough to get Notre Dame over that hump. Beat the Trojans and they’ll finally believe. Clausen would probably move into the Heisman lead with a good performance in a win over USC.”
A quick look at other the major media outlets reveals that the Notre Dame signal-caller has gotten people’s attention. Last Saturday during ESPN’s popular College GameDay, Clausen spoke live to Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit, who both sang Jimmy’s praises. ESPN’s Heisman Watch has Clausen running third behind Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy.
Gene Menez, who captains Sports Illustrated’s Heisman Watch put Clausen at his top spot, and said that “it’s safe to say that no other game on Clausen’s schedule will have a bigger impact on his chances to become Notre Dame’s eighth Heisman winner than Saturday’s.”
The Sporting News’ Matt Hayes has Jimmy Clausen sitting third in his Heisman race after six weeks, with Clausen behind Tebow and Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, who historically has little chance to actually win the award. Hayes also focuses in on this weekend’s matchup. “Beat USC next week and gain instant credibility.”
At CBS Sportsline, their five-man Heisman panel has Clausen sitting narrowly atop Tebow in first place, with — surprise — this week’s game against Southern Cal a huge spotlight for Jimmy and the Irish.
And finally, NBC Sports very own Race for the Heisman has Clausen in a four-man race with Tebow, McCoy, and Suh, who caught the eye of many football fans with his dominating defensive performance on a rainy Thursday night in Missouri last week.
You could say that the season starts here for Jimmy Clausen and the Fighting Irish. If Clausen and Notre Dame have any greater aspirations for this season, they’ll need to find a way to defeat their nemesis in Southern California, a team that has had their way with the Irish since Charlie Weis came to South Bend.
If Clausen can manage that feat, it’ll be a brave new world for the Irish quarterback. Expect a website that is already in its planning stages to be launched by the Irish’s Sports Information department. Expect a media frenzy that is already buzzing around Clausen to be a full-fledged circus. And expect Jimmy Clausen, a player who walked into Notre Dame with the self-imposed burden of great expectations, to emerge from this weekend’s storm the front-runner for college football’s most coveted award.

Brady Quinn is currently playing on a very bad Cleveland team.Look at Kyle Orton.He is playing like a superstar for Denver but while he played for Chicago he was considered one of the worst QB’S in the NFL.JaMarcus Russell does not look very good while playing for a bad Oakland Raider team.Any QB to be successful needs to be playing on a good team.

Just a case of NBC trying to promote it’s money losing Notre Dame exclusive. I’m surprised it hasn’t bankrupted NBC by now…..a real money loser for sure. As with other “fantasy” teams, Notre Dame is consistently over-rated year after year after year, and continually disappoints it’s un-knowledgable fans. This writer is either delirious or a ND alum to think something as laughable as this ND QB is a Heismann candidate.

Tom, You are like so many ND Haters, you spew BS without doing any rudimentary data research. According to you, Iowa consistantly handed the Irish their butts. A little research on your part would have shown that from 1951-1962 Iowa won five games, ND won five games and two were ties. Are we to assume that the ties were actually Iowa victories? I ask how many National Championships have the Hawkeyes won? I believe that ND has eleven National Championships. A game was scheduled for November 1963 but was cancelled by both Universities in respect for President John Kennedy who was assasinated the day before. In actuality, ND sucked in the early sixties under Joe Kuharich as did the Hawkeyes who got their asses handed to them by the Irish in ’62 by the score of 35-12. So much for your blatant Ill informed BS.

1. fortunately, charlie and his staff and jimmy and notre dame’s other student athletes are just focusing on beating this usc team on saturday and not paying any attention to the heisman or to anything else.
2.we have kept track of the heisman voting process since some people associated with usc purchased the heisman for carson palmer in 2002( during a season in which none of palmer’s stats even came close to matching those of washington state’s qb in the pac 10 and when washington state’s qb had outplayed palmer in washington state’s win over usc that season, when washington state, not usc, won the pac 10 conference title)and later for 2 units of ballroom dancing “student” athlete matt leinart and the infamous extra illegal benefits reggie bush.
3.brady quinn did not flop in the heisman selection. quinn was just another victim of a completely dishonest heisman selection process.
4. aside from the fact that every living heisman winner gets a vote, the identities and backgrounds of the other heisman voters, who determine who wins, will continue to be kept secret until we hit the heisman trust and everyone associated with the heisman selection process from 2002 through the prersent day with civil lawsuits to force the disclosure of all of that information, just we and others have already done with the ncaa records and documents relating to the ncaa investigation of academic cheating at florida state.
5. the ncaa lost this case at trial and now has lost 2 appeals, with no more avenues of appeal really open to the ncaa.
6. until the heisman selection process is forced to become open and honest, the heisman has rendered itself a completely irrelevant joke for all of college football.
7. in fact, according to our sources, pete carroll used the heisman award as an inducement to try to keep lendale white and mark sanchez at usc for another year, promises which white and sanchez wisely turned down for the nfl.
8. to hell with the heisman and any other awards which have made themselves corrupt and irrelevant jokes.
9. we are looking foward to a fine college football game on saturday in which the outcome will be determined by the players on the field and not by dishonest officials.
10. if we find any dishonest officiating, whether the dishonest officiating favors usc or notre dame, we will make the officials involved and every individual and conference involved pay very dearly in the civil courts, just as we did with the con artists who used to run enron and mci worldcom and numerous other business scams.
11.these instances of dishonest officiating and the associated systemic problems are matters with which charlie, his staff, notre dame’s student athletes,anyone directly affilated with the university of notre dame cannot deal both because of the so called sportmanship conduct rules at the conference and ncaa levels( aka provide cover for the dishonest officials rules) and because they have to be prepared to do their best to win, even in the face of dishonest officiating, if they encounter such instances during the game.
12.after all, notre dame has won, despite dishonest officiating at stanford in 2006, against michigan state this season, and on numerous other occasions in football and in other sports.
13. none of these limitations apply to any of us, as the ncaa has already found out in the florida and other litigations.
14. while usc has really fine full time athletes with zero academic obligations(with a few exceptions swhich petey will dredge up from his sewers), we share the the confidence of charlie and his staff and of notre dame’s student athletes that this notre dame team, which is composed of real student athletes and which does not cheat at all in recruiting, or in any other area, can and will defeat usc’s semi pro team on saturday.
15. if, for any reason, this notre dame team does not win on saturday, we will love and admire charlie and his staff, every student athlete who plays football for notre dame, and notre dame and all of the fine things for which notre dame stands and always has and always will.

1.as we promised, we are providing below, for notre dame’s real fans, the contact information for the relevant pac 10 conference officials( the pac 10 conference will be supplying the on the field game officials for the 2009 notre dame/usc game, as was the case for the dishonest pac 10 ref crew in 2005) and for the relevant big east conference officials( the big east conference will be supplying the tech review crew for the 2009 notre dame/usc game).
2.there was no tech review crew for the 2005 notre dame/usc game since tech review was optional in 2005 and took place only if both coaches agreed.
3.while charlie was in favor of bringing in a tech review crew for the 2005 notre dame/usc game( which,based on notre dame’s 2005 officiating contracts,would have been supplied by the big 10 conference, which was not nearly as corrupt as it is now) for reasons which became obvious at the end of the 2005 notre dame/usc game, pete carroll declined to have a tech review crew from any conference at the 2005 notre dame/usc game. after all, petey knew that he had the pac 10 on the field refs in his pocket for dishonest officiating when usc needed dishonest officiating, which usc certainly did need and got from that pac 10 ref crew, with the no call of the bush push penalty being just the tip of that crooked iceberg).
4. the relevant officials at the pac 10 conference are the new pac 10 commissioner, larry scott, jim muldoon, whose current pac 10 conference title is associate commissioner, communications and football administration, and dave cutaia, whose current pac 10 title is coordinator of football officiating,
5. while we have no evidence that larry scott, the new pac 10 commissioner, is anything but a completely honest man(unlike scott’s predecessor prior to the 2009 season, tom hansen), we have a great deal of irrefutable evidence that muldoon and cutaia, along with scott’s predecessor, tom hansen, have been very actively imvolved in the pac 10 conference’s dishonest officiating con operation for many years.
6. therefore, the next contact that muldoon and cutaia and hansen will be getting from us will be delivered to their homes by process servers bearing civil lawsuits.
7.based on the information available to us, larry scott is certainly worth contacting.
9. given the fact that the 2009 notre dame/usc game will be played on saturday, the only method of contacting larry scott is by fax to his personal attention at 19259324601,
10. given the fact that the pac 10 football officiating operations are still firmly within the control of muldoon and cutaia, you might reasonably ask “what can larry scott, in his 1st year as the pac 10 commissioner, do about the ref crew for saturday at this date?”
11. well, scott certainly has the authority and the right to get the names and full backgrounds of every pac 10 ref already assigned to the 10/17/2009 notre dame/usc game and to warn each one of them, in person, of the consequences to their futures in the pac 10 conference and the severe negative economic consequences that each of them, along with muldoon and cutaia and hansen, will face in the civil courts if there are any instances of dishonest officiating at saturday’s notre dame/usc game.
12. if scott does that and there is dishonest officiating anyway since scott is in his 1st year as pac 10 commissioner, then scott has done everyting in his power to prevent dishonest officiating from taking place and we are not going to hold scott personnally economically responsible in the civil courts for anything that goes wrong on saturday, although we are certainly going to assist scott in flushing all of the corruption, including muldoon and cutaia and every person associated with muldoon and cutaia and hansen in the pac 10 conference dishonest officiating scam, out of the pac 10 conference forever and indemnifying the pac 10 conference for the damages which the pac 10 conference for the substantial damges for which the pac 10 conference is already liable in the civil courts for dishonesting officiating over many years in many games, most of which do not involve notre dame at all.
13. if anyone wants one example, just ask coach stoops at oklahoma of the win over oregon that oklahoma was robbed of on 9/16/2006 by all pac 10 ref and tech review crews or look at oregon’s athletic website under football and under archives for the newspaper article recap and for the full.
14. the dishonest officiating that changed the outcome of that game was so blatant, even based on the tv feed, that a public war followed between the pac 10 conference and the big 12 conference and oklahoma and coach stoops.
14.then pac 10 comnmissioner tom hansen and then pac 10 coordinator of football officiating jim muldoon publily admitted that dishonest officiatinf by pac 10 refs and tech reviewers had altered the outcome of the oregon/oklahoma game and publicly swore to take immediate and firm discliplinary action against every pac 10 ref and tech review official imvolved in that game.
15. hansen and muldoon’s punishment was so swift and so brutal that they promoted dave cutaia, the head ref at that 2006 oregon/oklahoma game, to be the new pac 10 coordinator of pac 10 football officiating, in which position cutaia remains today, reporting to muldoon.
16. notre dame fans wanting to get a real up close view of one of cutaia’s more recent dishonesties need only go to und.com, look in the football section and under the subsection greatest plays of the charlie weis era and under the title there david grimes td catch.
17. there, anyone can see the full tv feed with replays from every possible angle from the 2007 notre dame/stanford game played at stanford and commentary by the espn announcers and by notre dame’s own jack nolan. notre dame won that 2007 game in spite of cutaia’s best dishonest efforts.
18. the big east game officials correctly called grimes’ catch a td only to be reversed by an all pac 10 tech review crew sent to that game by dave cutaia.
19. in response to all written and oral requests for some type of explanation, cutaia, backed up by hansen and muldoon, gave his standard respones to all complaints sent to cutaia about pac 10 officiating-screw off.
20.hansen,muldoon and cutaia also supplied the dishonest pac game ref crew for the 2008 notre dame/stanford game played at notre dame which notre dame again managed to win despite numerous instances of dishonest conduct by cutaia’s all pac 10 ref crew and delivered the same screw off responses to all requests for explanations.
21. we will provide the big east contact and other information in a separate post.

1. for anyone who may find the information difficult to locate in our previous post, the fax number of new and honset pac 10 commissioner larry scott is 19259324601 and scott currently is the only individual at the pac 10 conference worth contacting to ask that he intervene personnally to decrease the possibilty that of dishonset officiating by the all pac 10 game ref crew that will be calling the shots on the field at saturday’s 2009 notre dame/usc game.
2. anyone who wants to is welcome to print out our previous post which contains a number of examples of dishonest officiating by pac 10 ref and tech review crews, including onlne access to game film at und.com and fax that to scott, as we are doing.
3. however, make certain to start off with a cover sheet stating prominently: FOR THE PERSONAL AND IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF COMMISIONER LARRY SCOTT ONLY.
4. remember that the 2 other pac 10 conference officials in charge of football officiating, jim muldoon and dave cutaia,have long histories of dishonest conduct and may try to prevent scott from seeing his faxes.

1. since a dishonest tech review crew can cost any team a win and serious injuries, the big east conference, which will supply saturday’s tech review crew cannot be overlooked.
2. the key individuals at the big east conference are new commissioner john marinatto, who replaced long time big east commissioner michael tranghese in 2009, nick carparelli, the big east conference associate commissioner(football), and terry mccauley,the new big east conference coordinator of football officiating.
3.both marinatto and carparelli have been working at the big east conference for many years, with marinatto sharing tranghese’s providence college roots, and with mccaulay being a new hire starting in 2009 from outside the big east conference.
4. as is not the case with the pac 10 conference, all 3 big east conference officials are worth contacting by fax at 14012745967, but with separate cover sheets stating prominently: FOR THE PERSONAL AND IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF COMMISSIONER MARINATTO ONLY(yes, we saw the typo in the notice to larry scott of the pac 10).
5. many people, including many notre dame fans assume that notre dame football gets honest officiating from the big east because notre dame is a member of the big east conference in so many other sports.
6. while there has been a visible improvement in the 2009 season so far- the big east on the field refs at the 2009 notre dame/purdue game, with the exception of the failure to eject from that game the purdue player who took a big whack at notre dame’s true freshman punter ben turk, far away from the tv feed and long after the punt was off, although the big east crew did assess a 15 yard personal foul penalty against purdue, unlike the big 10 crew which did absolutely nothing when a michigan player punched nd’s eric olsen right in the face right in front of them during the 2009 notre dame/michigan game at the big house and with the big east tech review crew at the 2009 notre dame/washington game, the past history of big east officiating contains quite a few examples of blatant dishonsty which has not been punished by the big east conference.
7. the incident which got the most press and media coverage so far took place at the 10/19/2007 louisville/uconn game at which the big east conference supplied both the game refs and the tech review crew.
8. louisville had the game won until a uconn player after making a fair catch signal that was unmistakeable caught the ball and took off running.
9. instead of penalizing uconn and taking to ball back behind the spot where the ucon nplayer had fair caught the ball, the big east ref and tech review crews gave uconn the ball at the end of the bogus punt return even after the louisville coach called a time out to bring the matter to the attention of the big east officiating crews.
10. the result was that the outcome of that game was changed by dishonest big east officials from a louisvile win to a uconn win.
11.naturally, louisville protested vigorously to tranghese and marinatto.
12. tranghese and marinatto publcly agreed with louisvile and agreed to immediate and severe action against every big east official involved.
13. the problem is that, despite the promises, neither tranghese nor marinatto took the promised action since, on 10/11/2008, the big east head ref at the louisville/uconn game,randy smith, showed up as the head on the field ref at the notre dame/north carolina game at north carolina and proceeded to make a series of dishonest calls favoring north carolina which, together with a number of dishonest officiating calls by the all acc tech review crew cost notre dame a win over north carolina and commenced that understandable funk into which notre dame’s 2008 team fell after the north carolina game was stolen from them.
14. after all, any student athlete in any sport is bound to be affected subconsciously after so much dishonest officiating and lapse into a subconscious feeling that it does not really matter how well we play. the refs or tech review officials are going to find a way of screwing us anyway.
15. in the case of the big east conference, there is also another clear example of dishonest reffing by a big east field ref crew at the same 2007 notre dame/stanford game at which dave cutaia’s dishonest pac 10 tech review crew robbed david grimes and notre dame of a td catch.
16. anyone who wants to look at und.com under the football section, under greatest plays of the charlie weis era and under the zibby lateral td, will find the film of yet another td robbed from notre dame at the same 2007 notre dame/stanford game.
17. however, this second td robbery was done by the dishonest big east field ref crew at that game, not by dave cutaia’s crooked pac 10 tech review crew.
18. although the attempted thefts of wins from notre dame over stanford were unsuccessful both in 2007 and in 2008, split pac 10 and big east game crews sure did their best, with dishonest officiating, to achieve exactly that objective.
19. at the 2007 notre dame/stanford game, a crew of big east field refs robbed notre dame of one td, while an all pac 10 tech review crew robbed notre dame of a second td in the same game, thereby spotting stanford 14 points.
20. the same combination, this time a pac 10 feild ref crew and a big east tech review crew robbed notre dame of another 2 tds in the 2008 notre dame/stanford game, even though the notre dame teams won the games anyway.
21. we know that larry scott of the pac 10 and the relevant big east conference officials are going to be getting many faxes from us.
22. we certainly hope that they receive many more faxes from other real notre dame fans.
23. we have made it easy for everyone else. in the case of each conference, we have provided one example of clear evidence which anyone can view on film at und.com in plenty of time to make certain the the 2009 notre dame/usc game is honestly officiated.
24. all of the other evidence can be confirmed in the archives sections of football at und.com and at the athletic websites, football archive sections of the oregon,louisville,and uconn athletic websites by examining the recaps and full box scores of the games referred to.
25. and yes, this is just a very small percentage of the voluminous evidence we have gathered over the past few years, evidence which the responsible individuals at every conference in in the us and at the ncaa will be seeing in civil courts all over the us very shortly, with very subtantial amounts of additional damages being added on for any instances of dishonest officiating at the 2009 notre dame/usc game and at any future 2009 games of notre dame and of every other bcs division school.
26. any real notre dame fan who wants to examine the evidence, including the film evidence available at und.com just needs to print out our post, put on the appropriate cover sheets, and fax away.
27. it should be enough for charlie and his staff and for notre dame’s student athletes to beat opponents on the fields. they should not have to overcome dishonest officiating as well as opposing teams.

1. some newsworthy updates relating to honesty and integrity in college football and college sports.
2. the ncaa has thrown in the towel in the florida litigation and released all of the documents involving the investigation of and punishment for academic cheating at florida state.
3. this marks the 1st of many cases in which the ncaa and the conferences will be forced to reveal to the public all internal documents and other information, including all information about officiating.
4. the documents released by the ncaa reveal the standards applied in forcing florida state to forfeit every football and other contest in which inelible athletes participated.
5. the forfeiturtes relate back to the dates the student athletes in question became ineligible.
6. if anyone thinks that both the ncaa, the pac 10 conference, and usc and other schools are about to be hit with similar lawsuits forcing the disclosure of all records pertaining to the ongoing imvestigations of bushgate and other usc cheating matters, that person would be correct.
7. if any of those rude and obnoxious usc fans think that bushgate and its consequences are over and in the past for petey and mikey and usc, type the words california court of appeal, 4th district, div one into your internet search engine. when the intial web page opens, type in the words bush reginald under parties and you will find out the current status of bush’s baseless appeal in the lake vs bush case- fully briefed and alive and well and ready to be denied and sent back to the san diego superior court for a very public and very expedited jury trial with petey and mikey and many others with current and prior asociations with the usc athletic department being called as witnesses.
8. our sources inform us that bush and others have offerred lake and his family large sums of money to settle the case and keepp quiet, but that lake and his family and attorneys have turned down all offers so far.
9. at least one of the reasons for turning down the now very large cash offers to keep quiet is that lake and his family and their attorneys know that accepting any such payments to keep quiet would constitute cooperation in a count of obsruction of justice for purposes of the civil rico statute, whereas collecting the money after a full public trial would not subject the lake family or their attorneys to any such liabilities.
10. there are battles going on in addition to the contest which will be played on notre dame’s football field on saturday and, with the veils of secrecy behind which the ncaa and the conferences and the usc athletic department now gone, the outcomes of those other battles have already been decided against petey and mikey and the usc athletic department and every other athletic department which has engaged in intentional rules violations and depended upon those secrecy rules and payoffs to corrupt ncaa officials to escape punishment.
11. obviously, the same veils of secrecy behind which the dishonest officiating industry has been operating are also gone forever.
