My experience with Jack andthe taers yesterday (a long but good read) Reply
I don't go to many baseball games but yesterday since I don't get ESPNU I decided at the last minute to go to the game. I lucked up with a single ticket in the box seats beside the clemson dugout (literally 3 feet from Jack and the Taters).
I played sports and I have a bad habit or swearing like a sailer but even I was amazed at the language used by the Clemson players and coached. I've literally never heard so many GDs, MFs, SOBs, etc in my life. Also, the ammount of stuffed punched , thrown etc was amazing.
I never said anything to them during the game. Although one of our fans was heckling them pretty good (no swearing and nothing dirty). He best line was he was trying to file a police reportagainst Leggett to protect the Clemson players from his illegal posterier touching - even the cop LOL at that one.
The Clemson players flicked the guy off and cussed at him multiple tims during the game. After the game Kevin Brady ran off the field yelling FU at all of our fans etc.
At tis point - I could not longer resist I had to say something!!!!
From my seat I told the Clemson players "You can't beat us - It's just like Football".(I did not swear or say anything else).
I actually was stunned by the response. About half the team turn and ran at me screaming FU, MFer, SOB etc. Brady, Phil Pohl, and a few others threatened to come kick my butt and made a rather weak attempt to come over the rail aftr me.
Jack leg told security to get "that worhtless MFer away from his dugout" refering to me. I told jack - "Jack I didn't swear at your players and a man in your position should not use that type of language." Jack leg then look me in the eye and told me to "go F myself and that I wasa worthless piece of sh!t.
One of Clemson assitant coaches attempted to push me. The security guard had to get in his way. The ask security to get rid of me. The security guy told them that they needed to leave me alone because I was in my seat and I had done nothing that violated any code of fan conduct. The security guard told me that Clemson acts like that everytime that come to columbia. He said they are the worst behaved team to ever play at Carolina Stadium.
Jack and the team then went on the field to shake hands. When they came back toward the dugout. They looked for me (I had moved further away from their dugout and was talking to some Carolina fans about the incident and really how surprised I was at there behavior). Kevin Brady and several other flicked us off and continue to yell MFer and threatened to come kick my butt etc.
I know I kinda started it - but I never cussed at, or insulted any clemson player of coach. My exact quote was "you can't beat us - its just like football and I had nearly the entire clemson baseball team and coaching staff call me an MFer, threaten to kick my butt and if not for scurity being present I'm not entirely sure they wouldn't have come into the stands.
I always respected Jack because he has won so much and I generally don't think the CU baseball team cheats but I've never seen a sports team of coach behave like them. Leggett has move ahead of Daybo in my eyes.
We must be in their heads bad to get that type of reponse from my relatively benign comment.
