Bowden settles into hot seat

Coach Tommy Bowden held his annual media outing Wednesday. Here's the story.

�Going from the hot seat, probably, to the fiery furnace,� Bowden said following his annual media golf outing at The Reserve, a private course near Lake Keowee.

Clemson is 29-20 in four football seasons under Bowden but is just 14-11 over the past two seasons after an embarrassing 55-15 loss to Texas Tech in the Tangerine Bowl. After the golf outing, which serves as the summer�s opening media event with preseason practice approaching in early August, Bowden acknowledged the Tigers� shortcomings.

Bowden has got to produce this year. The media, the fans, the athletic director, heck, the university president won't settle for less than nine wins.
