I don't know, man.... I'm not convinced. Not saying it's ALL JC's fault, quite naturally, but
come on.... I can't imagine any other disinterested CFB fan in the universe would agree with that even a little. Not too many at least.
It doesn't explain the 'why' of it, but I guess that's all anyone's ever going to get. For reasons inexplicable, Jimmy Clausen, the Lebron James of CFB, will always hold a tortured, untouchable place in many a ND fan's heart, and I'm not sure it would even be possible for him to ever be dislodged from his lofty, almost weirdly mythical status. Ian Book sure as hell ain't gonna do it.
This guy right here....
