    Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen was punched in the face by an irate fan outside a South Bend restaurant early Sunday morning and has a swollen eye, a person briefed on the incident said on Monday.

    That person said Clausen was "sucker-punched" by a fan as he left an establishment after having dinner with his parents.

    The fan allegedly said something to Clausen and/or a female acquaintance.

    A South Bend police spokesman said that no police reports were filed over the weekend involving Clausen, according to the Chicago Tribune.

    The newspaper also reported that the name of the bar was CJ's and that a bartender at the establishment said that Clausen had been there with family members and other Irish upperclassmen after Notre Dame's loss to Connecticut on Senior Day.

    The source told ESPN.com that the injury is not expected to keep Clausen from playing this weekend against Stanford.

    I kind of feel like doing the same thing to Kris Brown. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying that I understand.

    I guess he would have shot Weiss if he saw him at the restaurant.

    Yeah, 'cuz Kris Brown let the Titans rush for 228 yards, dropped so many easy passes, and gave up many third down conversions, and intercepted a pass none... that darn Kris... he didn't stop Lendale White's rushing touchdown either! :p

    For those interested: Fat Weis is on ESPN 360 doing a press conference being a complete ass. This guy is a total jerk.

    Clausen can't even avoid the rush in a restaurant.

    I read on an update somewhere that this was actually a bar fight, not just a random fan punching Clausen in the face......

    Haha...it's the worst kept secret in college football right now. Once they officially get rid of him I really think they're going to be able to land a highly prolific coach. Somebody like Meyer or Stoops would not surprise me at all -- especially if Clausen, Tate and all that NFL talent stays.

    if weis is gone, i think clausen and tate are gone as well. i dont think they'll land meyer or stoops. they have powerhouses at their schools now. they'll go with an up and comer, harbaugh, kelly, or someone like that

    Love watching the ND drama. CW deserves everything he got, what an arrogant jerk.

    Just continuing his usual condescending rudeness towards the media. For those familiar with Weis, you know what I mean. Refusing to answer certain questions and what not.

    We sure this is related to football? You'd think someone with an ass-hole face like Clausen's would get hit plenty.
