Bowden out for any scraps...

... to motivate his team. Check this out.

Like most coaches, Clemson's Tommy Bowden always searches for even the smallest amount of extra motivation for his team. So when Georgia Tech head coach Chan Gailey was quoted Tuesday as saying playing in Clemson's Death Valley is like "playing anywhere else," Bowden's eyes lit up.

"It's been discussed," Bowden grinned when asked about Gailey's remark.

Told Gailey revised the remark Wednesday, Bowden shook his head.

"Too late. That one ain't getting up (on the bulletin board)," he said with a laugh. "Sorry Chan, the revision is not getting up. Us and Wallace Wade (Stadium at Duke), same environment..."

By the way, here is the Gailey press conference text.
