This quote was too good to pass up...
This is still not a full on Bowden Bytes feature, but I saw a quote today by Tommy Bowden that I simply had to highlight. From the article:
Do you believe he said that? If you think I'm making it up, go check the article yourself.
Tommy Bowden actually would prefer to lose the crappy Chik-Fil-A bowl and not win his conference (which is the worst of the big 6 this year) than to win his conference, go to a BCS bowl, and lose by a larger margin.
OK, of course, nobody wants to lose by 30 points, but hell maybe he should wait until he gets there ONE FREAKING TIME before he goes spouting off about how bad Oklahoma must feel. Boy I'd like to see the look on Stoops' face if he sees that one... good Lord. We haven't even sniffed a BCS game and Oklahoma is there every other year it seems like, and Tommy's saying he'd rather not be in their shoes?
Is this Bizzaro world? Why haven't we kicked him out of town yet?
There are a lot of other interesting nuggets in that article, including blaming Aaron Kelley specifically for the BC loss, blaming the kicker for the GT loss, etc, etc. I would point them out but frankly I'm too shocked at that opener to even think about the rest right now. Does he think the Tiger nation is full of idiots?
People, take off the orange colored glasses and listen to what this snake oil salesman is saying, please!
Is a 9-4 record and three years of one loss away, one play away frustrating to Tommy Bowden?
If it is, he isn’t showing it.
“Hopefully, we’ll be able to keep saying that,” he said Thursday when posed that question. “We’re not losing by 20 or 30 points, we’re one point away, one play away as opposed to Oklahoma where you’re 30 points away (a 48-28 Fiesta Bowl loss to West Virginia).

You ask "Does he think the Tiger nation is full of idiots?"
The answer is yes. They are a bunch of sheep that doesn't think they are the prettiest girl on the block and decides to marry the first guy that winks at them.
There are probably some coaches that would give their right eye-teeth to coach for the Tigers. But we're stuck with a name, not a coach.
