Tommy Bowden (Clemson coach), after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Tiger Paw flag in the window.
"This is yours for eternity, " said God. "This is very special, for not everyone gets a house up here."
Tommy felt special indeed and walked up to his house. On his way up the porch he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a three story mansion with a Garnet and Black sidewalk, 50 ft tall flagpole with an enormous Gamecock flag, and in every window, pictures of Gamecocks on the sides of football helmets.
Tommy looked at God and said, "I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I've been rated high in all papers, my school won a national championship in football, we beat the Gamecocks all the time, and someday I will be in the Hall of Fame.
God asked, "So what do you want to know Tommy?"
Well, why does Steve Spurrier get a better house than I?"
God chuckled and said, "Tommy, that's not Steve Spurriers' house. IT'S MINE!!
