TOMMY BOWDEN IS CHECKING YOU OUT
Tommy Bowden wants you to read this quote and then look at the picture below it.
On freshman Kyle Parker, a footballer who's playing on the baseball team:
Ive watched him practice and Ive watched him play (baseball). Hes really good looking. If I was a girl, Id be very interested in him. He wears those tight pants. When you wear loose stuff, you cant tell the definition of a guys body. In baseball, everythings tight and you can tell hes very well put together.

My god, just look at him out there.
All of those years of living on the edge at Clemson are clearly beginning to erode his ability to censor his inner monologue. We're actually hoping Clemson struggles a bit this year just to get more quotes just like this from Bowden, who seems very comfortable with his own sexuality in calling another man "very well put together."
(HT: Dr. Strangecock, of course.)

Did he mention that Kyle Parker leads the Clemson baseball team in errors and possibly the nation which is pretty bad for a team that’s not even in the top 75 in Division 1 in fielding percentage? Seems that the baseball players and law enforcement officials share a propensity for errors. Unlike USCe’s baseball team (#2 in nation in fielding percentage) and Columbia cops who usually get their man (Kevin Young not included).

Can Penn State get at least some type of bonus FC points for this:

That rules. +1 to you for that.

Brings that whole obsession with finding guys who are powerful below the waist and can explode off the line to a new level, doesn’t it?

Tommy Bowden sings!
I’ve never mussed the crease
In your baseball pants…
I never get the chance
This is a fine bro-mance…"

Orson – I just sent you some more incriminating pics of Tommy Bowden and his crew depicting a history of “that ain’t right” debauchery in Clemson.

#1, I am hoping that 1/2 the population chooses not to stop rooting for cocks…specifically those without them…
As for tommy-boy, well, he’s gotta be sayin’ “did I just say that out loud?”

That Gamecock obsession is always fun to examine. I guess I would be looking for anything I could find as well had I lost to my rival 9 out of the last 11 times I faced them.
As for Parker, yeah, that SOB has some trouble getting his glove on the ball, but he has no business being on the field right now, anyway. Clemson should not be in the position of having to play a 17 year old who should be getting ready for his senior prom at 3rd Base.
The keys to Leggett’s success at Clemson are now coaching in Nashville, Charleston, and Gainesville.
I would love to give Leggett some meaningless job in the athletic department and get Corbett back.
No question South Carolina has us in baseball. Take your pleasures where you can get them, I guess.

Wow…..what the heck was Tommy thinking?? Other than boys in tight outfits.
I smell a Brokeback Mountain sequel starring Tammy, err Tommy Bowden.

Yeah, as soon as I read this quote I was waiting for it to come up. Bowden really needs to not say stuff like that. It’s not like there is a lack of anything to make fun of him for to begin with.
As for OOC at #2, the kid is supposed to be a senior in high school right now and never even played AAU ball. He should be hitting DH, but unfortunately our first 3 options at 3B fell through. Trust me, most Clemson baseball fans cringe everytime a ball is hit to third.

Tommy has asked me to come to the spring game and lead the boys in some pre game aerobics.

You can’t spell “Kyle Parker” without two E’s. Especially if you are keeping score at home.
But if you are a Clemson fan, spelling is probably the least of your worries. And the greatest.
No wonder he never sends Willy Korn fresh cut flowers any more. He doesn’t sing him love songs.

#16, Clemson needs to get the Athletic director to spread the booster money around better. You’ve got to figure a decent 3rd baseman is peanuts compared to what you spent on that 5-star running-back.

I think what Tommy needs is to check out the “Meet Christian Singles” ad to the right of this web page.
My God! is exactly what I said when I saw those nice, proud, profiled …holy lands.

Clemson327 – to be fair, yes, Kyle’s got a lot of pressure on him playing at third at his age. He does bring a pretty good bat to the plate though for you guys (or last I saw).
How Tommy would interpret the above statement: “Kyle was thrust into a compromising position in getting to third base. Kyle has a big stick. Tommy likeee.”

I’m just happy to get a Freehawk sighting out of this thread.

OOC, his bat has surprised all season. As for Bowden, I swear the guy tries to make it easy for people to make fun of him. Nobody can be that dumb in interviews right?…..right?…..sonofa…
Slacker, we actually had one of the top third-basemen in the country signed to come to Clemson, but he went pro instead. Apparently they offered more than our AD did.

Coop – Was Jack Leg one of Wilhelm’s coaches? Clemson has always had decent coaching.
I’d say 3 years ago, you could have made a play for Corbin to see if he would come back for a head coaching spot. If UK keeps up the progress they’re building, I don’t see him leaving for Clemson. Clemson would be a step up for him right now, but I bet he’s thinking not for long. Who was your former asst coach turned HC at ECU that pulled a gun (or whatever) in the parking lot and was fired by ECU? Was that Massey (sp)?

Subst Vandy for Uk in my above discussion.
by Out of Conference on Apr 3, 2008 4:08 PM EDT reply actions
Not Coop, but I’m pretty sure we brought Leggett in from ECU after Wilhelm retired. I could be wrong though. As for Corbin, he coaches at Vandy, and they have been pretty good for the past few years. I still think we could make a run at him though.

They warned him once about his drinking and subsequent gay nuances. In fact, that could possibly be labeled as verbal child abuse. Oh, wait, no nope…it’s South Carolina, that’s right. I believe the legal age in South Carolina, and correct me if I’m wrong, is 16….months.

Why is he in love with the white man? IF I was a brotha and not getting any man crushes from my coach, I’d feel racially slighted…matter of fact, I am calling Jesse Jackson on this glorious MLK day and letting him know “whats really going on in Clempson”

Okay, I graduated from Bartram Trail (Kyle’s old high school) last year, and this is probably the funniest thing I have ever read! Kyle’s nickname on the football team was “pretty boy” and I guess some coaches have decided to keep the name even though he has moved on to Clemson… nice.

Good to see a rational Clemson fan on here for once. Welcome.

Charlestowne, I’m not sure where the 187 came from, but thanks. While I am a diehard fan and have been all my life (also a 4th generation grad), I try to at least be realistic about our various sports programs. I stay away from Tigernet at all costs, but I do enjoy visiting FGF for the humor aspect.

I get the feeling that Charlestowne Cock is very FGF-tastic after his theory about how the media is out to get USC athletics.
He could not respond to me because, well, logic and his brain don’t mix.
