Tommy Bowden Benches Cullen Harper

After watching the film from Thursday night's debacle at Wake Forest, Tommy Bowden has named Willie Korn as the starting quarterback. Bowden said that he needed to do something to provide the Clemson offense more of a spark, and pointed to Korn's superior mobility.

So, I guess Cullen Harper won't be making a run at the Heisman Trophy this year after all, eh?

To me, though, the real question is just how long it is until Clemson benches Bowden. Something tells me that could be coming in the near future.

He

has a rather substantial buyout from what I hear, somewhere around the $4M mark.

Bowden and Tubbs in the Un=employment line.

Together you know the integrity of those two is not something to be desired. Bowden promises a young recruit first carry in a huge game ahead of the tried and true players who have worked and sweated there for years. To me that could be the one thing that really lost him the team. And then you got Tubby with the classic slimball NFL owner type move giving support to a coach then turning on him when the cameras go off and the lights go dim. I dare to say I would not be suprised if he has lost their team too. And to think we had to put up with those classless Milk Herders about CNS departure from Miami. Also have you all noticed how these stories were jus a blip on ESPNs radar. Ill tell you if that had of been CNS firing Coach Mac. The hell fires of the damned would have consumed Bryant Denny before they were through with him.

Seriously through...

what do they really expect? It’s Clemson football, at the end of the day.

Makes sense...

Makes perfect sense to me, but tell that to the Clemson people.

It really is kinda amazing...

How after each weekend, Clemson looks more and more like a team that we should’ve beaten, than a team that’ll give us trouble with Thunder & Lightning.

And quite hilarious.
