Although Evan Sharpley had seemed to play his way into the starting job at Notre Dame a few weeks ago, it was only on Tuesday that Irish head coach Charlie Weis gave him the nod.

During his weekly news conference, Weis told reporters, “”I think Evan this week gives us the best chance of winning,” implying that Sharpley had wrestled the job away from high school phenom Jimmy Clausen. However, it is what he did not say that is more telling.

According to Clausen’s high school teammate and USC running back Marc Tyler, the reason Jimmy won’t be playing has nothing to do with his sucktitude and the Irish’s 1-6 record–Clausen is injured: “”I wish he were starting,” Tyler said. “He said his hip bothered him.”

So Saint Charlie foold the Domer Nation and the press! What a genius!!!
