This one didn't even make it 24 hours.

After rumors of season-ending surgery started flying fast and furious, ESPN confirmed that while Jimmy Clausen did in fact have a procedure he will be ready to go for the fall.

A source close to Notre Dame freshman quarterback Jimmy Clausen said Wednesday that Clausen underwent a medical procedure on an elbow.

Notre Dame spokesman Brian Hardin said that Clausen would be ready when the team begins fall practice on Aug. 6.

So there you go. All this really means is that Sharpley and Jones will get some more time throwing with the team during informal summer workout sessions. Nothing that should significantly alter this fall's QB race. I guess we can cancel the "Save Jimmy" campaign and move on.
