Ian Book Smashes Louisville Cheerleader's Nose with Errant Sideline Toss

Notre Dame and Louisville hooked up on Labor Day in a fairly garden-variety college football game, with the Irish prevailing, 35-17.

It was one of those pedestrian games that will be instantly forgotten by everyone except the participants.

Oh, and one very unfortunate Louisville cheerleader.

This poor dudette found herself in the crosshairs of an Ian Book desperation throwaway, with nothing but her wits and pom-poms to protect her.

 

Here's the Fighting Irish slinger and his targeted drone strike of an innocent civilian:

 

What the hell, dude.

 

With possession and a comfortable fourth-quarter lead, Book clearly decided it was time to start picking off Cardinal cheerleaders.

It may have been the best ball he tossed all night.

As for Liz the Ladybird, she seems to be in good spirits as she confirmed that her nose was indeed broken.

 

But possibly concussed.

 

But of course it is.

 

Maybe Liz should go through the protocol, just in case.

Oh, and before we forget, here's the obligatory Marcia Brady flashback:

 

Of course, it's not her nose that Doug Simpson is after.

You got it, dear.
