3RD STRING TIGHT END "OWNS" PURDUE

Priceless.

Man am I glad I didn’t go to Purdue! Somebody’s gotta censor this moron!

Since Tiller’s going down this road already, he’d be better off going the full nine yards and recruiting functional illiterates. This middle ground of smart enough to write to the paper but dumb enough to write THAT doesn’t do anyone any good.

BTW, “owning” West Laffy is like having clear title to a 1987 Yugo. Even when it’s true, most folks don’t brag about it.

As the person who alerted Orson to this fabulous letter and a resident of West La-La, I feel it necessary to point out that owning this town is NOT like having a clear title to a 1987 Yugo. That would be if you were from Bloomington. However, owning West La-La IS the equivalent to having a clear title to a 1997 Honda Accord. Yes, we’re that fabulous….(Good God, I can’t wait to get out of this town)

A fine car by any estimate.

Hey, my ‘97 Honda just clicked over 100k and it’s still kicking ass (of course it’s a Civic, so it’s an anorexic ass, but you work with what you have when you don’t have a real job, aka grad school)

Somebody should inform Garret “OJ – Oger Jr.” Bushong that its the fact that he plays football and not that charming personality or his depressingly obvious insecurities that get him both of his women so far in college and he has to learn to deal with being a “celebrity” or public figure regardless of how small of one his is.
Either way thanks Garret I needed something/someone to laugh at today.

San Dimas High School Football Rulz!!!! [belch]

Mike Tyson says Bushong’s legal defense is impregnable.

One question, why would I go to Brandon Kirsch’s locker to find Garrett?

Lastly, if your major is in something that includes the title “Family Sciences” you might want to refrain from general moral hyperbole after getting a OWI.

I’m thinking you need to supplement the Head Coaches Death Match with the 2006 Spoiled Athlete Single-Elimination Douche-a-Thon, where you pit guys like Bushong and Little Vick against established heavyweights like Clarett, Chris Rix, Kellen “Soldier” Winslow Jr., The Leafster, et al. in a who-can-be-a-bigger-ass-crack cage match to the death. Who’s with me?

I’m guessing the starters truly are illiterate and G-dawg reads the comics to them?
He’ll find out how “over” that OWI is the first time he applies for a job.
[insert standard ‘would you stay sober in w. lafayette?!’ joke here]
Shout out to my homies in mu alpha theta, we pwned da a-v club beeyatches!

Wow. I hope someone writes a letter saying he plays 3rd string for a shitty team and he’s going to spend his life teaching PE.

Oh, how I wish Michigan had played Purdue this year instead of Wisconsin or Minnesota. The Wolverines needed more opponents like that this year.

The Purdue football page has this to say about Garret:

2004—did not play.

2003—prior to Northwestern game on Nov. 1 had his uniform number switched from 3 to 93 by head coach Joe Tiller “to get his focus off wearing a single-digit number”

Even his team’s website says his attitude sucks ass.

Consumer and Family Sciences?

Is this the modern equivalent of Home Economics?

Maybe he thought the 3 branded him as 3rd string, much like Hester Prynne and her scarlet A. Naturally the reference is lost on Bushong who informs me that he “hates nerds”.

If he really ran Purdue, he would cut himself from the team.

“Consumer and Family Sciences?

Is this the modern equivalent of Home Economics?"

-“Soldier” Nate

No, it’s Journalism 101 for the 21st Century.

“Home Economics” is cooking for and washing your man’s clothes.

You should know all about that.

Linked by fark.com? Swindle & Montana are on FIRE.

3rd stringers run the colleges now?

What if cat was spelled D-O-G?

NEEEEEERDDDDSSSSS!!

If this guy is only third string…the starters head must be soooo big that he looks like one of those bobbley head dolls.
Amazing arrogance. Perhaps the megamaniacal side effects of “Juicing”? Either that or just bad parents.

When are we going to divorce higher ed from semi-pro sports disguised as college athletics?

Our universities should be noted for the leaders in the arts, business and science, not how stupid their players are or who well they run.

Everytime an idiot like this gets a diploma, it makes all the diplomas actually earned by the student body worth a little less.

Stop the charade and return school to the scholars.

FARKED BABY!!!!!

You got pwned d00d.
LOL

Someone please go this jerkoff’s locker and slap him in the mouth.
He likely won’t get a diploma. He’ll exhaust his eligibility and return to his mom’s house to live and the basement and regail the crew down at the “Gas and Sip” with the stories of his college football days.

Loser!

Purdue sucks. Go Bucks.

Its all about the hamiltons baby!

Purdue sucks more donkey cock than a tijuana whore! I would not want to go into the locker room of this flaming Bear!

It’s good to see that you’ve reprioritized your school from engineering and physics to the more important sports aspects. Keep up the good work guys.

Well I for one am glad he’s OVER his OWI, I’m sure the courts aren’t quite OVER it yet. But hey he plays ball so we should all listen to his wise remarks…cough..cough…bullshit…

“forget what ya heard”

Screw that kid, I believe if I was his coace and I read that excerpt I would drop that douche from my team. I would never let that kind of attitude fly on my team, especially from a third stringer.

i think my name says it all. And i played football in college, so i know!

All schools ought to play at the division III level, no scholarships for sports, only for need, and you’ll eliminate most of these problems.

I’ve heard it said that all the girls in the college of consumer and Family sciences are looking for the MRS. degree. Maybe he’s just venting some angst because he just realized gay marriage isn’t allowed in the States.

Purdue is a good school, I know I go here, but people that come here… man do they have issues.. This is nothing compared to what you may see at a frat party…

Good. So 300 students get OWI and don’t get written up, but you do? Want their anonymity? Please quit the football team then.

He’s supposed to be a role model, but is just an ass.

shaking haters off since 2003

Wow, this is one of the greatest rebuttals in the history of college athletics. I’d say we have to put some of the blame on the availability of the PC and also Garretts High School typing teacher, as they’re the obvious culprits!
Perhaps Garrett could spend less time drinking and operating a car and spend a little more time working at his game seeing how he’s a Third String Tight End (or was)!!!
Go OWI!!!!!!!!!!

His fellow students should be legally allowed … no, make that obligated … to shoot, stab, burn, electrocute, and disembowel this jerk and then bury him alive.

Now who’s representin’, fool?!

I thought you would have a little more respect for your fellow classmates and the people who bring millions of dollars into this university year after year.

Guys with this attitude crack me up! Given an often free opporotunity at an education and sports fame/notoriety if they work hard, the ingrates don’t realize the schools could field a different team of idiots and still make millions. In fact they pretty much do that to their lineups every couple years. (It’s almost if people were going to see the school teams play, and not for jerkwads that think they’re bringing a michael jordan level of fame with them from high school. Chicken meet Egg.) Seems the people that have some talent or capacity to work at it, graduate and/or go pro? I’m not sure about this guys chances for either.

Actually, any student caught by Laffy, W. Laffy or Purdue Police in a O.W.I gets their names in the police blotter of the exponenet or J&C at least.* This guy has no room to gripe and not a leg to stand on, got what he deserved.

knows from friends experience

gbushong@purdue.edu

there it is guys, go nuts, tell him hes an ass

look, youd be a douchebag moron too if your name were garret bushong

Two words: Douche Bag…

Wow…just wow. Something tells me this guy hasn’t had a dose of reality in his entire life. Wait until he graduates and realizes there’s no coach to tell him how to make money without playing a fucking game…

This is a clear case of why breeding should be regulated in some way. Frightening to think that this individual represents the “educated” sector.

Yeah, but like Duke is still teh SuckS

One day this dolt will be on the modbid side of forty, balding, fat around the middle, impotent, divorcing his second trophy, a real estate “agent”, saddled with a passal of squaking brats to whom he has passed his unfortunate genetics and about whom he couldn’t care less. This windbag, who personifies the argument that there is no such thing as intelligent design, may shout to the world that he has worth (to what? the college? the sport?), but he will never have the self awareness to realize the days of his mommy patting him on the back and telling him he is a golden god are long gone. Bushong should thank his little balls he is at University AT ALL instead of having to prove his shitty little worth from the back of an open Humvee on the outskirts of Tikrit. Actually, now that the military is lowering its standards in order to reach its recruitment goals, his OWI won’t stand in the way of showing us that he can be a real MAN.

Well, at least Purdue has a good basketball team this year…oh wait, you don’t have that either.

Just kidding, I feel for you guys having dealt with Clarrett’s idiocy for years now here in Columbus.

I’ll be sure to slow down on I-65 next time I pass by Laffy on my way to Chicago so my name doesn’t appear in the Exponent…I mean the hundreds of thousands of people that must read that…imagine the embarassment and public humiliation!

Wait until he graduates and realizes there’s no coach to tell him how to make money without playing a fucking game…

Precisely. Persons of his intellectual callibur are the reason I readily look forward to my High School reunion. Nothing will beat the joy of laughing at the person who once said “we run this place…” who now pumps my gas, and bags my groceries, while I laugh from atop my financial success.

Frightening to think that this individual represents the “educated” sector.

Reprazint? REPRAZINT? Oh no he di-int! Y’all bess not be bringin’ dat mess up in heyah, foo’. How you like it if I bring da whole Mid-State Office Supply Accounts Reeceevabo crew to yo college in a cornfield, hillbilly bubba bo-yyyy? Whatchoo gonna do denn? Write anotha letta to da editah? Da Supah Fly Mack Daddy Mack Str8 Pimpin H-Dawg owns Wess Lafayette an all it’s fly farm hos!! Da$$ right, byatch! U kn0w what ime i izz!!!

What an asshole. I particularly love this:

I am personally sick and tired of all the bad ink we are getting, and it is really time to put an end to it.

Hey Goober, here’s how you put an end to bad publicity for drunken football players’ OWIs: DON’T GET DRUNK AND DRIVE.

I stumbled (pun not intended) across this story. As a proud graduate of the University of Connecticut (yes, the school who sets arson to its campus every year) and the grandson of a Purdue mechanical engineering major, I am appalled at the dildocity and nerve this assbag has to write this response about himself and other Boiler athletes. I submit a listed response:
A. Dude – you’re third string and your team sucked this year? Your opinion doesn’t matter. I’ll listen to Bob Griese and Gary Danielson instead.
B. Your boy Kirsch is going will “forgo” his eligibility to enter the NFL draft. Good luck with you and him greeting people at the Indiana State Fair with your tourism degree. Something told me the aerospace department wasn’t your bag.
C. Did you forget who is paying for your schooling? As a man who also had a DWI, I didn’t blame anyone but myself. Furthermore, I certainly would trash the university who gave you a “future”. 300 people out of 40,000 students is a small percentage, you know (I was a math major). Not everyone is in our stupid drunken fraternity.
D. You play football. Great. By playing a sport which places you in front of over 50,000 people every Saturday, people might know your business. As with most universities, police blotters are standard in the campus paper. I just wish the World’s Largest Drum would get more pub.
E. From what I know, “Boiler up!” doesn’t mean “I want 8 Boilermakers straight up!” unless your name in Axl Rose.
F. Garrett must have been named after Wade Garrett, the epic drunken bouncer portrayed by Sam Elliott in Roadhouse. If you ever spawn, consider Dalton for your first born son’s name.

I apologize about any grammatical errors in the previous response, I’m more mathical than englishical.

It’s funny to hear this tool complain about being called out for being a drunk. I also like his attempt to rally support for his drunkardness. I’m sure that all the divers will flock to the support of a 3rd string TE. I mean TE’S are the biggest waste of roster space and this cat is only 3rd. Maybe he should take up diving, I hear he’s good at going down. My favorite line is “Yeah, I got an OWI, so what!” so what? That makes you a loser and not even a 1st tier loser like Winslow. I’ll be at your locker at 4.

… but did her ever score 4 touchdowns in one game like Al Bundy?

I work for Garret Bushong.

So I am really getting a kick out of most of these replies.

Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about.

But trust me…. You don’t.

I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you don’t know what you are talking about.

This is how bad info gets passed around.

If you dont know about the topic….Don’t make yourself sound like you do.

’Cuz some Farkers belive anything they hear.

I call bullshiat, suckers. Grade B satire from a skinny geek with an axe to grind. Few footballers are that literate. Note poser slang and cliche jock buddy quote/threats.
If you bought into it, you belong in Indiana.

“I am appalled at the dildocity and nerve this assbag”

For someone who claims to be better with numbers, you sure do have a way with words.

When you say you ‘work’ for him, I assume you ghost wrote that rebuttal.

How pathetic is it that you work for a 3rd string TE who is still in college? If I was you, I too would have an OWI cause I would have to live my life in a drunken stupor just so I didn’t stab myself in the face. You are 2nd string to a 3rd stringer.

Revanche – Please enlighten us to what we don’t know about this story. Was Bushong misquoted in his own letter? I’ve read every story there has been on the subject and have yet to find anything that could be misunderstood. Did he not get an OWI? Did he not write the letter to the Exponent. I think those are the issues that make him look like an ass. There couldn’t be much more to the story. Besides the irony of him WRITING A LETTER TO THE EXPONENT TO ASK THAT HIS NAME NOT BE USED IN A NEWSPAPER. That is an interesting approach.

Ok, some background: the “I work for_______” post is a fark.com standard cliche, not to be interpreted literally.

Bushong has lied to all of us. He can’t be found in the locker room…he can be found in the laundry room washing the first stringer’s jock straps.

From what I understand he was celebrating a practice squad’s victory against the sled the night he got pulled over. So how can we blame him?

I just got back from his locker, guess who wasn’t there?

“We run this place”

Well…..glad to see the jock mentality hasn’t changed since I left school.

This guy is on the Dean’s List for Douchebag of the Year

Either Tiller is completely and totally sick of this crap and is releasing no comment, or he doesn’t know yet….who wants to tell him?

As someone who has relatives living in Bushong’s hometown, Ionia, MI, I can tell you that folks there are calling what he has done “an accomplishment”. I refer, of course, to the arrest, not the letter of contrition. Most of them can’t read.

NEERRRRRDDDDSSSSSS!

the guy ain’t bright for sending in the letter, but all you guys making fun of him for being a 3rd stringer, I was just wondering what string you ARE??

Sounds like a bunch of losers who were forced to ride the pine their entire lives.

Dont hate the player hate the game.

Go back to reading your book or writing your poem.

It is not our fault we were born with talent and receive attention that you could only dream of.

Ya heard dis

Meanwhile, us forty-somethings out here in the real world slogging at desks all week, really don’t give a flying F*** about some dumb jock who will be out of school in a couple of years, no degree, and likely getting busted for something worse.

oh yeah, by the way, he’s been downgraded to 4th string since about May. lol

Sounds like a bunch of losers who were forced to ride the pine their entire lives.

Dont hate the player hate the game.

ah, a classic, intelligent response. And look how he refuted the arguments with evidence, examples and logic….oh wait…

Go back to reading your book or writing your poem.

indeed, perhaps we really should quit paying attention to your idiocy and get back to being successful and productive members of society…something which you seem to know little about…

It is not our fault we were born with talent and receive attention that you could only dream of.

Yes, enough talent that you are third string and rarely (if ever) see playing time?(also, after some checking over the posts, you are 4th string, my apologies) Talent in a game in which you will most likely only play for a year or two more? Also, i am afraid the only attention you will be receiving in a few years will be from me when i ask you to pump my gas, wax my car, change my oil, or the fact that i prefer paper over plastic.

Purdue is a good school, I know many that attend it. With 40,000 people in attendance however, statistically there has to be a guy or two like this. So I beg all those who read this exercise in idiocy to not be too harsh on that school.

Oh one last thing. As someone who might claim to be a man, if you make a challenge like saying that you will be waiting in the locker room, you should probably be there when people take you up on it. It kind of ruins the facade ( I do hope this word wasn’t too difficult for you) you have set up for yourself as being a man if you aren’t there when someone shows up to pummel you.

P.S. For future reference, i prefer 89 octane in my Accord, and when you wax it, be sure to detail the rims as well, ill be sure to tip you.

I take umbrage with everyone calling this ass-hat “douche bag.” He gives douche bags a bad name and besides, he’s never at the meetings.

I played my college ball at Iowa and was second string. I never felt that I owned the U however. I appreciated the opportunity and made the most of it with my Leisure Studies degree. It more than qualified me for my career in the hospitality industry.

His saying he owns the school is akin to Paris Hilton claiming she’s the closest thing to American royalty. But when it comes down to it I think I’d rather listen to her dildocity than Bushong’s.

He should go far in life. And the sooner, the better.

“It is not our fault we were born with talent and receive attention that you could only dream of.”

Obviously that talent doesn’t include proper judgement whilst behind the wheel. What is this talent you speak of?

Fark attention isn’t exactly a dream of mine. If it’s yours, have at it and tie one on with Bushong this weekend and flip a coin to see who drives.

Garret, the difference between you and the other “300 students who got OWI’s” is that you are at Purdue FOR FREE. Sure, you work hard, and no one appreciates Purdue Football more than I do, but you have to remember that it’s a privilege to be there. Like it or not, the celebrity status that encourages you to say that you “own Purdue” also DEMANDS some responsibility. Unfair or not, basking in the glory of the limelight means that occasionally your mistakes will be magnified, too.

If you want me to respect you as a student athlete, then give me a reason to respect you.

I know, I know, you think I’m just another A-hole who is piling on. But I had to let you know that I proud to be represented by every athlete at Purdue. It just disappoints me when actions like yours, Terrence Crump’s, etc. embarrass the school, and hurt the teams.

gbushong@purdue.edu

lets mail this fucktard and let him know that newspapers don’t make athletes look bad, assclown athletes make athletes look bad

WOW typical perfect internet message board assholes. Yes he was stupid for writing the letter. As for the OWI well he got caught because most of you idiots have had a couple of drinks and drove. But go ahead and judge people because you are far more superior than most. I know because I’ve read about you all here and I can tell. And if you don’t mind I’ll take my tourism degree and my $125,000 a year job and leave.

And if you don’t mind I’ll take my tourism degree and my $125,000 a year job and leave.

Ahhhh . . . your wonderful (and unverifiable) income. A timelessly classic point of internet argumentation. Let’s hear a golf clap in your general direction.

Consider, however, that $125K is the starting salary for a first-year associate at a major New York or DC law firm these days, and you might conclude that these smart-ass, Farking pre-law types who vex you so may, in fact, be on to something here.

Best personal regards,

You do not make money for this university, the money that the team you are on pays for your scholarships and the travel expenses for your rapist illiterate friends. Keep up the hard work in practice. It is the only playing time you will ever see.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the State of Indiana…
Your tax dollars at work!

I read the exponent everyday and this story has become hilarious.. The responses in the opinions section have been great. A few days later he and the Assistant AD published an apology, but it was still a joke… a third string TE on a 5 win team and hes on schloarship. Many of you may not realize that he made the post because he is the 8th player to get “bad ink” due to fights, parties, driving drunk, battery etc, in the past 5 months.. anyway I cant believe this story made Jim Rome is burning.. thank God i was born a michigan fan

Let ’em speak. It will be the last time in his pathetic life that he can steal a brief moment in the spotlight.

Wile E. Coyote… Super Genius. 3rd string TE? BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Don’t worry junior, you’ll be accepting responsibility for your actions soon enough. BTW, you’ll look real sharp in your security guard outfit.

i played against bushong in high school and he was just as stupid then as he is now

so it seems like the same old stuff to me only the staff looked the other way in HS-he even got kicked off NHS for a while sucks for him oh well
