I was reading the Charleston Post and Courier this morning and came across Travis Haney’s article about King and Garcia coming in the week for fall practice on time. Then I get to the bottom of his article which talks about what we posted about a couple days ago. Clemson internet guys sending packets to instate recruits about USC players getting in trouble with the law in Columbia. Here is what Haney said “I know Spurrier and Tommy Bowden have talked about this matter in a discussion that was described to me as somewhat heated. Clemson's coaches admitted knowing that such a packet had been sent out, but they said they weren't aware of who did it, either.”

I think there is more to this story than meets the eye. If the coaching staff knows about the packets, and did nothing about it. That should be some kind of recruiting violation. I wonder if the Clemson staff sends out packets with pictures of Clemson players getting out of trouble, or beating women. The package would probably say something like this, “come to Clemson, where you can get away with pretty much anything. Feel like throwing your girlfriend down some stairs, go ahead. You can still play on the team. ”

This is bogus. Clemson can not be held responsible for actions of a 3rd party. Plus she tripped down the stairs and his trial will be in the off season so it will not affect his play.

What it all boils down to is bowden's double standard in life. He is the first to criticizes USC about the off field problems, but when one of his own gets in trouble he is the first to put it on a back burner. At least Spurrier mans up and takes action for when a player messes up. I wouldn't expect much more from Clemson or Bowden.
