54450868zf3Fighting Irish quarterback Jimmy Clausen reportedly suffered two black eyes in a South Bend bar fight at 2:30 AM Sunday Morning after ND’s loss to UConn. No details have emerged, so we can neither confirm nor deny he provoked the fight by flaunting his high school state championship rings.  Presumably, the swelling must go down for him to play next weekend.

Update: Joe Schad is reporting Clausen was sucker-punched.
