Joe Craig Has to Go


Jun 5, 2011, 8:41 PM

Just returning from out of town and belatedly read the disappointing Joe Craig news. I will not be the first or last Tiger alum to make this assessment.

Sadly for all involved, Craig cannot under any circumstances walk to the Clemson House at midnight and beat up any female whether she is track team or not, saint or villain. Regardless of the story details and his predictable pleas for forgiveness, his rehab will have to take place elsewhere.

Tiger coaches and players have been doing a great job eliminating this type of behavior and the press that goes with it ... Mr. Craig needs to be publicly held accountable and sent packing as an example of behavior Clemson will not accept.

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

It was also an eye brow trimmer and not a knife. I've heard it referred to as a "6-inch blade" but if you look up eye brow trimmer they are really just 5 inch handles with a one inch razor. From what I've read she was also left bleeding from the head and ended up getting stitches (she at least went to the hospital). You might want to get the facts straight yourself.

Re: A) 5 strikes; not 1 game missed?? B) Your coach and school


Jun 6, 2011, 2:37 PM

Your alphabet skills are lacking, since you started with point "B", but I'll respond to each point of your post individually, and I would like to ask you to do the same, but I doubt you're capable of doing so without resorting to name calling.

B.) Yes, Garcia has been shown a lot of patience, but he has also done nothing, with the exception of keying a car, that every college student doesn't do, and that you personally wouldn't do if you had been lucky enough to finish high school and make it to Community College (guessing you aren't a university man seeing as you didn't realize "A" is at the beginning of the alphabet) I feel each punishment was appropriate to the crime.


C.)Can I show any evidence toward my claims in the Craig case, no. Can you? I wasn't there, and the Greenville newspaper hasn't reported anything at all. And oh my god, the girl fought back at him with an eyebrow razor, after he had an altercation with her, LEFT, and came back with a shower rod, and used it to beat on her door, and you're trying to imply she is the Agressor? This is a COLLEGE ATHLETE, nearly all of which bench-press 200+, and most of which bench 300+ hitting a FEMALE, and striking her multiple times once she was on the ground. If you think that keying someone's car, underage drinking, a curfew violation and disruption at a meeting are on the same level as what Joe Craig did, then your parents must have really screwed up raising you.

d.) Are we delusional for thinking we will return to the SEC championship game when nearly every major sports outlet is picking us to win the east? Are we delusional for thinking we will beat Clemson again when every major piece of the last two blowouts is returning?

OR, is it possible that you are delusional for thinking your team will return to it's 20+ year removed glory days, and that a team relying entirely on true freshman from a recruiting class that wasn't the best in their division, and other unproven players and coaches is going to make an dramatic one year turnaround after a losing season and storm through the ACC? Not to mention that season included losses to powerhouse programs like Boston College and USF. If further evidence of your delusion is needed, just refer back to C and look at your defense of Joe Craig.

Please respond to each of my points individually using facts instead of 'what ifs' and ad hominems.

Do you really think that if the situation was as cut and dry as some here presume, that Dabo would not have at least issued an indefinite suspension? The very fact that he hasn't done that makes it obvious the situation has not been clarified. Obviously you can't punish someone for an unclear situation. If there were enough to go on, then certainly Dabo would've said Craig is indefinitely suspended. You can't assume ANYTHING based on a newspaper article.

Re: Joe Craig Has to Go


Jun 7, 2011, 1:52 AM

Amazing how so many are defending Craig's actions.....they say the detractors do not know enough of the situation, but they don't know about it either, and they are misinterpreting what has been reported as well.

This perhaps may be what can be termed a "woman".....but Miss Wesh is also a 5-6 sophomore, a teenager, a young woman. Not much more than a girl. To craft any type of defense or justification for a young man to pursue ANY young woman with a metal rod and assault her with it, is 100% automatic pathetic. No other label for it....

She deserved to get what she got just by opening her door? Pathetic. You are so quick to discount and trivialize the "weapon" of Mr. Craig, but then quickly label Miss Wesh's as a "knife", or "lethal weapon"?

It was an eyebrow razor. Six inches of plastic handle (like on a disposable shaving razor), with an inch-long blade on the end of it. Yes, a razor blade, but Craig had to come to her, where she resides, in order to get cut by it. Why was he there? No justification for it....

What is the most amazing thing about the incident was the police report concerning the particulars. Both apparently required "sutures" from their injuries. A victim does not need to press charges against his/her assailant in order for that assailant to be arrested and charged, if the police deem it warranted it. Typically, the evidence of injury/bodily harm is enough to warrant it. Both were injured enough to require stitches.....that is more than enough. And for one of them to be a little 5-6 teenage girl.

That the police report itself described the incident as “assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature”....that it detailed observing a “bloody handprint” on the door of Wesh’s room as well as blood “spattered all the way down the hall to the elevator.”....and yet still, no charges were pressed by the Clemson University Police Department, who made out the report????

And William Swinney needs to wait on a decision? The Clemson track coaches didn't require any delay in handing down their punishment. Craig IMO wasn't considered to be a major player for the FB team this season.....why not punish him?

Steve Spurrier has a personal thing regarding abuse towards the fairer persuasion. Always has. He has thrown players off the team who have gotten into physical altercations with girlfriends. In most of those cases, he has pre-empted any official finding regarding the circumstances, or official school punishment. I do not understand why William Swinney won't take a stand.....

disappointing....

With or without a weapon, shower rod, whatever, in his hand has no standing, no excuse and no place on campus. Period.
