I got this email today which I think sums up Notre Dame’s lack of BCS success in the past couple years.

Tim Tebow, who at the beginning of this season many thought would win a second Heisman trophy of his college career, had plenty of success at Florida, leading the Gators to a National Championship.

Although he didn’t win a National Championship for USC, Mark Sanchez was one of the best QB’s in college football as a Trojan and lead USC to a record of 12-1 in his final season there.

In his final two seasons at Texas, Colt McCoy has lead the Longhorns to a combined record of 25-1, and was a finalist for the Heisman this year.

Although he never won the Heisman, Matthew Stafford was the #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft.  He lead the Bulldogs to over 20 wins in his final two seasons for the team.

Notre Dame supporters want the Fighting Irish to be in contention for the National Championship every year, and who’s their Quarterback?

One of these things is not like the other… one of these things does not belong…

For those of you who can’t see the obvious reason why Clausen isn’t the caliber QB that the others are, I’ll tell you.

It’s the necklace.
