The future - sky is the limit. I love this kid

Great post

a little too early to judge Clausen. and Sam's got a lot to work with, a very good D and a year older in his system.

Clausen may be a tool, but it's way too early to rip the kid on one start.

[CatfishSooner]

Great post


I second that

[soonerloyal]

Then can we just rip on his porcupine imitation haircut?

Anyone who wears their hair like that on purpose and limp-wrists when showing off championship rings deserves to be made fun of. :D

Not taking anything away from Bradford, but there is a lot of difference in the talent around the two. OUr massive offensive line hasn't allowed Sam to be even touched the majority of the time and the WRs have been making some plays. I love Sam's composure and attitude! He definitely has answered the big question mark that everyone had about the Sooners at the beginning of the season. Keep it up Sam!

[The Maestro]

N Sync and Backstreet Boys members think his hair is gay.

And he might be good, but to announce his presence the way he did was WAY over the top!

Your hair would look like that too if you had Charlie Weiss doing a bed check on you every night.

i agree. but that's not the point of the original post that cites stats.

but, i can see this is a pile-on thread. the three guys Clausen in speedo pic is the creepest.

as you were.

Hey it was Jimmy Clausen who chose to go to ND... I hope he gets sacked 100 times and that ND goes 0-8 to start the season!!

[chantundefeated]

Clausen is actually a pretty good kid. I mean, he cried on senior night cause marc tyler had broken his leg and couldn't play the rest of the season. ND has some talent, but it is YOUNG. They've also played two of the top defenses in the country and possibly two conference champs. I think the michigan game will show a little better of where clausen is at. I'm not taking anything away from bradford. I had a class with him, and he was always very respectful. He's really a nice guy, and I was definitely rooting for him cause I'm from the OKC area. He's a great player, and he is definitely playing better than clausen. Just give clausen some time.

[fadada1]

he looks like bob zany.

Thanks, Mrs. Clausen.

[Octavian]

Bradford might have some advantages around him that Clausen doesn't....


but if the two guys switched teams, Jimmy Clausen wouldn't be playing any better than Bradford. How could he? Would he have thrown for 9 TDs and only 7 incompletions?


Clausen should be good with time....but what Sam has done so far is ridiculous.


Hopefully the hype machine stays focused on Clausen...he can have it.

[Flagstaffsooner]

The little snot deserves the team he picked.

I second that... OU has just as much tradition as ND

how many more years do we have to listen to how good michigan's defense is? they're defense has been overrated for the last 5 or 6 years. i'm not buying it anymore.

did you see those fat, slow d-linemen?

[Soonermagik]

i'm all for that. this is the guy that showed up on signing day in a limo.

Yep, and he actually wore all of his High School Championship rings. :rolleyes:

Will this kid be a bust?? I don't know, but I do know he's a prick. ;)

I wish I could spek you again.

[badger]

With all due respect to Bradford and his golden arm and scholarly mind, Clausen went up against Georgia Tech and Penn State. While they aren't championship teams, they are closer to that caliber than Miami and North Texas.

They really threw Clausen into the fire at ND. Charlie Weiss is a pro coach without pro talent!

[stoopified]

I thought Bradford was the #17 pro-syle qb?I was thinking he was like barely top 20.Then again in my book if you really are among the top 20 HS QBs in the country,you must be pretty good>could not understand people who said we had no big-time talent at QB. Between Bradford and Nichol(top 10 dual-threat qb).

In any case I liked our QBs before the season and now I am crazy in love(man-crush wise) with Slingin' Sammy.

[Piware]

Know absolutely nothing about Clausen or his abilities. I am, however, glad he chose ND and not the Sooners. We don't need another "all about me" personality with HS rings, limos, etc. Reminds me of another little pretty boy that took the field and thought the world revolved around his backside. We saw how that turned out. Give me our humble Sam any day of the week.

[EstablishedSooner1967]

I am sure that pic can be farked..... I bet Bradford can beat him by 20 strokes in golf as well..

[Jimminy Crimson]

Isn't that Billy Vessels painting on the wall behind Jimmy Clausen?

I will take Sam Bradford any day over a snot nosed kid that announces his choice of college at the College Football Hall of Fame. Talk about arrogance -- reminds me of Ron Paulus their 3-time Heisman winner at quarterback -- oh wait, that was all hype and he never came close.

It would make a good year IMHO if Notre Dame went 0-12 including losing to the Service Academies. That would be absolutely perfect. They have been given bids to the BCS and Bowl Games when they deserved neither. They are too arrogant and greedy to join a conference so I wish them nothing but loses. Never liked them and never will.

Grew up in Big 10 territory when they had good defenses. Big 10 is way overrated and so are their defenses. Penn State used to play all cupcakes for the most part and go to Bowl games when they were independent. Now they joined the Big 10 very seldom compete for the Big 10 championship and yet someone wants me to believe that Penn State has this super defense. As for Georgia Tech defense, get back to us when they run the table.

Cannot believe anyone would make excuses for Notre Dame and for their whiney coach and arrogant quarterback. Between the haircut and limp wrist -- no thanks.

[Newbomb Turk]

Clausen may be a tool, but it's way too early to rip the kid on one start.

Clausen is also a true frosh. I'm sure the redshirt year helped Sam a ton.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Then can we just rip on his porcupine imitation haircut?Let's just rip on his armadillo(roll-up into a ball) imitation college.

[josh09]

This post is great, but it would be better when Sam is 8-0 and Clausen is 0-8 :D

[AlbqSooner]

Anyone who wears their hair like that on purpose and limp-wrists when showing off championship rings deserves to be made fun of. :D
Cut the guy some slack. The only reason for THAT hair and the limp wrist is he aspires to the priesthood. :D

I know, I am going straight to hell, but it just came out.

Word. Clausen is going to be really good as time goes on.

[soonerloyal]

We can only hope his hairstyle improves with time as well.


Sorry - I'm old, and we olduns fixate, what can I say?

[NS5]

PROBLEM...It is only going to get worse for Clausen....

[Ike]

Word. Clausen is going to be really good as time goes on.

Only as much as Chris Simms was really good as time went on...


which is to say, not at all...



In fact, his middle name might be Simms...

[StoopTroup]

I thought Claussen was a pickle?

[sanantoniosooner]

I'm glad Clausen is around now.

Our obsession had to migrate after Zebransky moved on.

Just give clausen some time.

You keep posting your notre dame propaganda, and I'll keep negging you.

[kevpks]

And I thought Chris Simms was a pretty boy. Clausen makes Chrissy look like Clint Eastwood.

[goingoneight]

Dood, did Gumby give him a haircut or something!?! :D

[tommieharris91]

And I was about to post a pic of Gumby. :rolleyes:

[stoopified]

I am sure that pic can be farked..... I bet Bradford can beat him by 20 strokes in golf as well..Yake him to the rack and jam in his face ,too.

They're refrigerated and snap when bent! :eek:

HAHA here you go...

"I was real honored and blessed to get a scholarship from a guy like coach Weis. He has three Super Bowl rings on his fingers. That what I’m here for, to try to get four National Championship rings on our fingers (crowd erupts yet again). "

On announcing his decision at the College Football Hall of Fame)
CLAUSEN: It’s special. I’d like to end up here one day.

[cs6000]

Most folks agree that decision making is a very important attribute of a winning quarterback.

How's this decision making example:
First, I'll fix up my hair like something from the Village Peoples wet dream archives. Next, I'll put on all these neat high school championship rings. Then, we'll all get in a huge limo and go to the College Football Hall of Fame, where I will reveal to the whole world that Notre Dame has won my talents.

I'd trust that kid in the 4th quarter in front of 80,000 screaming fans.

He was "honored and blessed" eh? Yeah, and I'll bet his new coach felt honored and blessed too...

No one with any class or perspective about what he was about to embark upon would ever have engaged in this kinda MTV bush league JV stuff. Says something about his family too. Standby for a season of karma adjustment Mr Wonderful...
