For all the Bowden haters out there I thought I would write

this, and put it out there. I have also been very critical of Bowden and I am not completely sold on his coaching skills but...

There is no question about the type of kids we are bringing in to our beloved University. I took my 4 year old to Fan Day a couple of weeks ago and was absolutely blown away at how genuine and nice the guys are. CJ picked him up and held him for a picture, JD sat him on his lap for a picture as well. We also went around to the rest of the team and every single one of them took time to speak to him and sign his jersey (JD of course) and they all were so incredible. I was shocked at how good these guys were as human beings, there is no sense of entitlement, none of them acted too good to say hi to a couple of life long Tiger fans. I spoke to Jamie Harper for about 5 minutes. I told him that I was so glad he came to Clemson and all he could say was how great it was here and that he would not want to be anywhere else.

So I guess the point is we are heading in the right direction and I gained A TON of respect for CTB that day. He is the RIGHT guy for our team, and I know that we will rip the ACC this year.

GO TIGERS.

He said this in an interview wih Dan Scott on cutigers.com

"Oh yeah, because who wants to be…no coach wants to be known as the nice guy. You know, 'he’s a nice guy, he’s won some games, he disciplines well, graduated his players.' That’s nice but that’s not why you get into coaching."

This is not Vandy or Duke. Bowden was brought here to win football games. IF Bowden left tomorrow does that mean none of the players will graduate? That all of a sudden the players will become a-holes? He was brought here to win. If he does not do it this year then when? How many chances are you willing to give him? Are you happy with 8 wins a year? 9? If so then ok. But i'm sure there are a lot of fans on here that want more then just 8 or 9 wins a year. They wanna win the ACC and play in BCS bowls. Be feared again. I hope Bowden does succeed. B/c if Bowden is succeeding that means Clemson is succeeding.

Well said . . .

This is Bowden's 10th year. He's got the talent, so there

Rich Rod took WVU as far as he could

I saw him checking classes during summer school
