SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- One day after a report surfaced that Jimmy Clausen was punched by an irate fan, the Irish quarterback practiced in a tinted visor. Notre Dame is practicing in an indoor facility.According to an unnamed university official who spoke to the Associated Press, the helmet hid a black eye.
Multiple reports Monday said Clausen was sucker punched in the early hours of Sunday morning and suffered two black eyes. FanHouse confirmed the Clausens were at the bar, C.J.'s in South Bend Saturday.
Backup Evan Sharpley also practiced in a visor. However, it was clear.
Player availability for Clausen, who earned the nickname "Darth Vader" from Charlie Weis, after the Irish coach saw the visor, and the rest of the Irish team was canceled today.

OMG you people need to find something better to do then report on things you have no idea of what happened or why.
Please stop making up things about Notre Dame.
The reason for the rumors is because the media has always beaten down on Notre Dame and when they cannot find anything bad that they see, they begin to make up things.
Leave these kids alone and remember this is college football, not the pros.
So what? Clausen has a black eye?
Why not report on Someone's althletes foot next?
I agree Christ! No one said these guys had to live like monks just because they play football for ND. Wasn't the Gipper known for his wild ways?
