Jadeveon Clowney’s “Thank You” Letter

In case you hadn’t noticed, there’s been a rash of trash talk in the Palmetto State in the wake of the 2013 college football season …

Don’t believe us?  Click here and here.

This is a good thing as far as we’re concerned.  Both the University of South Carolina and arch-rival Clemson University are Top Ten programs now – and fans of both schools are rightfully energized by their teams’ success.

Anyway, this week Clemson fans stepped the smack up a notch by circulating a “letter” ostensibly sent from All-American defensive end Jadeveon Clowney to University of South Carolina fans “thanking” them for their support over the past three seasons.  Clowney is turning pro in 2014, and is likely to be one of the top five players taken in the NFL draft.

The letter?

Yeah …

clowney letter

Classy, huh?

Never one to shrink from a challenge, FITS founding editor Will Folks (a.k.a. Sic Willie) – a University of South Carolina alum – responded that the chicken scratch wasn’t really a letter from Clowney, but rather Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney’s game plan against the Gamecocks.

And how well has that game plan been working out?

Not very …

Still, though … that’s pretty clever.  Especially coming from a Clemson fan.

That’s actually pretty funny.

My first question was who wrote the letter published in The State for him. Most people don’t speak like a ghetto thug and then write like a PhD English major.

In recent news, this article “COLLEGE ATHLETES PLAY LIKE ADULTS, READ LIKE 5TH GRADERS” — how does your school compare? Interesting and, in some cases, shocking……..

How did our primary education system get so broken that college affletes are now reading up to the level of 5th graders???
Just watch … in a couple years, 6th grade literacy will have sunk to the level of college affletes!

When you compare JD’s highly successful tenure at USC to D’Quan Bowers lackluster results at Clemson, Tater fans are understandably scared and anxious that future recruits will see the truth about the 2 programs. …

And that just means more years of @$$-Whoopin’ turned loose on Dabo and his successors, after he gets fired.

PS: Hasn’t Bowers been arrested on a gun charge???

Yes, he was a total failure at Clemson. Dabo had such higher aspirations for him.

2010 Unanimous first-team All-American

Bowers was a good ACC player, but that’s not bigtime college football…
And he was not even a first rounder, after being the No. 1 player in all of High School..Bowers was the 51st pick in the NFL draft. That’s closer to the third round than it is the first round…

The awards Bowers received were pretty much based on his reputation…not performance. I remember thinking what a dissappointment Bowers was.

It would be a surprise seeing Clemson get any more No. 1 prospects after the way Bowers’ stock fell.

Is Bowers under-achievment the reason Steele got dumped by Dabo???

Squishy123 January 9, 2014 at 5:35 pm

Closer to the 3rd round than the 1st… either way it’s still the 2nd round.

It would have been a lot funnier if they had written some words, typical overdone Clempson BS – Clowney met the same NCAA standards the idiots playing in the prison colors did.

If that’s Dabo’s game plan, at least it is realistic. Red and black pretty much runs over everything else, just like on the field.

Former Clemson All American running back CJ Spiller made the Deans List and the All ACC football academic team. Spiller graduated in 3.5 years. How then is it possible that Spiller scored at the bottom on the NFL’s Wonderlic intelligence test?

“It looks like that Stanford education is already starting to pay dividends for running back Toby Gerhart.
The Heisman Trophy finalist—who led the country in rushing yards (1,871) and touchdowns (28) in 2009—brought home the top score in the Wonderlic exam among this year’s running back class with a 30, according to a league source.
The Wonderlic test is a 12-minute, 50 question exam aimed at evaluating a prospect’s problem-solving abilities.
There has been much debate (especially from our readers) as to whether or not the test has any real significance in determining how a college football player will perform at the next level.
Some of the other top performers among the running backs include BYU’s Manase Tonga (29), LSU’s Charles Scott (26), Tennessee’s Montario Hardesty (25), Mississippi State’s Anthony Dixon (25) and North Dakota State’s Pat Paschall (25).

Rounding out the bottom of the class was Clemson’s C.J. Spiller, who scored a 10.”

Any sCUm fan want to bet Clowney doesn’t score at least a 15 on the Wonderlic?

Too bad it’s not Clowney’s, a Gamecock fan would have given him a quarter mil for it.
