Crime Pays at Clemson December 13, 2007

Color me surprised. Tommy Bowden craps out on discipline once again.

What do you expect from Tater Tot’s brother?

Apparently Cortney Vincent got a jump on post Finals partying. The starting MLB for the tigers was arrested early Sunday morning for DUI in Pickens County after leaving an off campus party. He admitted to drinking early in the night and complied with the officer’s request for a field sobriety test, which he passed. However, he refused the breathalyzer (can’t blame him), and in the state of South Carolina that is an admission of guilt. As an early Christmas present, the Pickens County PD conveniently forgot to issue a mandatory court ordered blood test for Vincent. Shocking, I know; this ain’t Athens folks - the cops in these parts ♥ Clemson football. 

Jail or no jail, you’ll still be wearing an orange jumpsuit

 

It doesn’t take a genious to figure out Cortney will likely walk with probation or, better yet, a dismissal.  

In the meantime, Coach Bowden declared that Cortney will not be suspended from the team. He will not miss a practice. He will not run gassers or write a thousand times on the chalkboard “I will not drink & drive.” And he most certainly will not lose his starting job for the Peach-fil-A Bowl against Auburn on New Year’s Eve. Unbelievable.

This coming from the same man who lauds himself as a disciplinarian, mentor, and leader to his team. The same man who’s in deep doo-doo with the ACLU over using a University bus to take his players to church. Also the same man who just used the Arkansas job like a two-dollar whore to get a fat pay raise for accomplishing his typical version of NADA and maintaining the mediocrity that is Clemson football.

Way to go Tammy!
