| The rule is you can turn 19 during your senior season as long as it is after August 1st. | |

| The "offensive genius" that was Charlie Weis seems to have disappeared. I wonder if they'll run him out of town, or if that only happens to black coaches at ND

| Clausen was held back on purpose....so he and Marc Tyler...Wendell Tyler's son...could play together at Oaks Christian.

I don't think they will be as impressed with his money as we were....
FWIW, Heath Shuler was also held back in the 8th grade to give him a leg up on his peers in High School..... | |

| I guess it didn't matter for Jimmy Clausen, but holding children back for athletic purposes is stupid. Don't these parents realize that scouts and coaches take into account an athlete's age when evaluating his/her talent. | |
