The quarterback race at Notre Dame has been narrowed down to three players. Evan Sharpley, Demetrius Jones and Jimmy Clausen are the three contenders now, excluding sophomore Zach Frazer. The competition will now run until the fall with all three players, even though we were expecting only two to remain.
Charlie Weis was quoted for saying this:
“After concluding spring ball evaluations, Evan Sharpley, Demetrius Jones and Jimmy Clausen remain as the main contenders. Each of these three young men brought something unique to the QB competition. Evan ran the operation the best, Jimmy threw the ball the best, and Demetrius made the most plays. For these reasons, they will compete for playing time.”
In other news, freshman Defensive Back, Gary Gray had surgery after exams and it is likely that he will not play this season. He had shoulder surgery and it is not believed to be a result of his broken arm during a spring practice. After extremely high expectations, we will have to wait until next year to see what this kid can do.
Also, Charlie Weis announced that the team will be using Big East officials this year, rather than the usual Big Ten.
The recent marijuana charges against competing quarterback, Demetrius Jones have been dropped. He was arrested May 17th for the possession of marijuana, but it was proven to belong to someone else. Luckily this wasn’t another Kyle McAlarney case.

Welcome, oldNotreDame.com has officially started today. This is a blog about the University of Notre Dame, mostly the football team. Pages are still being added and there will be more changes coming. I will most likely also add a forum to the site which will allow everyone to post news or their opinion about something.
I will post all news that I discover about Notre Dame football and the site will be updated a lot. Suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated. The design was done by me, Kevin Christman, the founder and owner of this website. I am using the WordPress blogging script to run the site. It has been coded and rearranged to get the look it has now.
So far the only pages are the Recruits page which will list all of Notre Dame’s recent recruits. I have even created this image of all the recruits and it will be updated as more and more players commit.
The other two pages are a roster for the 2007 season and schedules for 2007 and 2008. More pages will be added soon, along with links to videos and content. Check back everyday for constant Notre Dame football updates. C ya guys.
