Bowden = Obama

What more needs to happen before a change is made?

We are 10-10 in our last 20 games against D-I schools. We were the favorite in most of those games.

Bowden is 3-5 against Maryland and folks are shocked that we lost. That's why I had Maryland +12.5 = Easy Money. Friedgen owns Bowden at Maryland and owned him at tech.

We are in the same position every year, yet there are still folks that want to keep him. Unreal.

Our Country is in shambles right now yet many will vote for Mcsame. 10 Billion dollars a month in iraq. 10 trillion dollar deficit. will "stay in Iraq for 100 years". His 2007 Campaign manager as early as 2 months ago was recieving 30k a month as a deregulation lobbying for fannie mae and freddie mac. Coffee > Smell it

Transcript of Barack Obama's speech in Clemson
Posted by The Buzzard staff September 28, 2008 8:55PM

Remarks of Barack Tigerama, provided by his press officer as as prepared for delivery in Clemson on Monday.

I've often said that the decisions we make regarding this football program in the next few months will set the course for the next generation. That is also true of the offensive and defensive coordinators. It's proven true in our baseball program. And it has especially proven true in our basketball program. Change, the right change, is what Clemson needs right now.

The urgency of this challenge is clear to anyone who's contributed to the West End Zone project and bought in to the seat equity plan. It's clear to the legions of alumni and fans who believe that we are nearing a point of no return when it comes to our offensive identity crisis. And with each passing day, it is clear that our addiction to achieving “balance” is one of the most serious threats to our championship hopes in the 21st century.

For the last ten years, this Administration has narrowly defined success as making sure the football program does not negatively reflect on the university. But considering the parity of this new century, new threats come from formerly cellar dweller programs, middling programs who aren’t afraid to pop us in the mouth, mouthy rival fans who smirk at our plight, an inability to compete with rising powers in the weakest major conference in the country, the threat of a hamstrung athletic director, and our dependence on beating I-AA patsies.

I feel the pain of the young father who fills up his tank with four dollar a gallon gasoline to attend games, only to cover his young son’s eyes when we can’t make fourth and one with the game on the line. I empathize with the senior citizen who must continually hangs his head in shame when we continually throw three yard passes on third and eight. I am shocked when my white racist grandmother can predict our plays based on our formations. I am weary of hoping against hope that our opponents make a mistake, rather than having the confidence in our team that we’ll create disruptions. I am angered by the injustice inflicted upon those who contribute what they’re asked, only to have those contributions squandered by fiscal irresponsibility. And I am saddened by our leaders in Clemson who think things are just fine.

This is not the future I want for Clemson. We are not a university that places our fate in the hands of inflated egos and irrational stubbornness - we are an institution that controls our own destiny. That's who we are. That's who we've always been. It's what led us to a National Title in 1981. And it's why we must end the tyranny of bubble screens in our time. My policy is one of regime change.

I won't pretend this change will be easy or that it will come without significant cost or some measure of sacrifice from the Clemson family. We may endure a difficult recruiting season. We may be viewed as bitter or ungrateful – by the very ones who claim we’re overrated and a joke. Screw them. We will rise from the ashes, maybe immediately, maybe soon, or maybe never. But we will never attain our manifest destiny without change. The right change.

The challenge we face from regime change will be great. Meeting it will take time, and it will not be easy. But if we're willing to work at it, and invest in it, and sacrifice for it; if we're willing to summon the same spirit of optimism and possibility that has defined this university's greatest progress, then I believe that we will be able to do it if we really try. And I look forward to trying with you. Thank you.

I’m Barack Tigerama, and I approved this message.
