The truth is out, and the truth shall set us free……….from horribly inefficient QB play

Man, that’s a pretty drastic move on his part. He must really want to avoid having to warm that bench while KORN rips GATech’s collective soul apart.

Who the f#cks gonna back up Korn? Harper wasn’t lighting it up, but if the unthinkable happened, at least we’d have a qb that had actually played in a game.

Both shoulders injured from carrying that big head around.
5Kyle on Oct 16, 2008 at 3:12 pm:

Michael Wade backs up Korn, unless they feel like going crazy and pulling a redshirt off of Parker or Richt (who will probably never see the field otherwise).
6VladimirUlianov on Oct 16, 2008 at 3:18 pm:

Lawtonfunk, that’s hillarious
7Daniel on Oct 16, 2008 at 3:19 pm:

Awesome. Nothing like going into the toughest stretch of our schedule with a redshirt starter at QB, backed up by two true freshman. I hope we never see an Extreme Speweik Report.

Wade backs up Korn? geez…..too bad Parker is taking that red shirt.

We saw this bad shoulder playing QB drama back in the Whitehurst days as well. I remember it coming out after the pitiful 11 to 9 GT game (or whatever) that Charlie had a bad shoulder as well.
9edbo on Oct 16, 2008 at 3:24 pm:

Daniels’s right. This sucks. Big time.
10Lawtonfunk on Oct 16, 2008 at 3:25 pm:

Harper’s dressing for the game this weekend and then will be out 2-4 weeks. Check Tiger Tracks for the details.
11edbo on Oct 16, 2008 at 3:34 pm:

wtf?? Harper can dress for this game, but THEN he needs surgery?? Dude doesn’t think we might need his services against FSU and BC? If he was still starting no way he gets the surgery. Beoch
12Penthouse Tiger on Oct 16, 2008 at 3:42 pm:

just means its not surgery that he HAS to have, but something that would be helpful. this is basically just saying that Harper has accepted that he wont get his starting job back any time soon, so surgery is a convenient way to save face
13Chili on Oct 16, 2008 at 3:42 pm:

I heard he wasn’t dressing.
14Daniel on Oct 16, 2008 at 3:46 pm:

So Harper goes from belly-aching about losing his starting job to out-of-commission for 2-4 weeks?
15edbo on Oct 16, 2008 at 3:52 pm:

Can EKR please get to the bottom of this shit? The people need EXTREME answers!!!!!
16Chili on Oct 16, 2008 at 3:56 pm:

edbo I just did an EKR. It’s like giving blood, too much too soon and I die.
17edbo on Oct 16, 2008 at 3:59 pm:

Thank you ,kind sir!!
18GOCAMS on Oct 16, 2008 at 5:13 pm:

Another example of what I’ve been saying all season, (not here, but to those I go to the games with) Harper’s an empty sack. No testicles, in case you didn’t get that.

I mean, really, the guy can’t play with a broken shoulder? Verdict is in: Pus.
19DwightClark87 on Oct 16, 2008 at 6:06 pm:

The guy may be thinking about the draft. I’m sure the Mel Kipers & Matt Millens of the world will equate his lack of success this season to the Bowden hubbub and list him as one of the top QBs in the country. Who backs up Korn? CJ Spiller can throw an ok spiral, from what I remember. Just kidding. No one can back up Korn, because he is Korn. The end.
20VladimirUlianov on Oct 16, 2008 at 6:33 pm:

Dwight is right. No one will need to back up Korn, because even if he breaks both arms, he can just go out and COMPLETE PASSES WITH HIS FUCKING MIND!!!!!!!
21Clemsonfan on Oct 17, 2008 at 3:31 am:

Although I agree that Korn is going to handle things just fine…I have to take up for Cullen here. If he is going to be the back up for the rest of the year, (in a year that I remind you he came back for with thoughts of winning a National Title) he is better off just getting the surgery before it becomes worse and preparing for the draft. Why are we looking into the past, its time to look forward!!
22Willy Mac on Oct 17, 2008 at 6:11 am:

Nice shot, GOCAMS. LOL.
23Chili on Oct 17, 2008 at 8:04 am:

I don’t think any player or fan honestly had thoughts of a national title this year. I remember preseason there were maybe one or two fans saying it was a possibility, but now that Clemson’s season is in the tank some are trying to play up those expectations for comic effect.
