Former SID, Tim Bourret, gets petty on twitter and we love it!

Former Clemson football Sports Information Director Tim Bourret let his petty-side show Monday night.

If you have spent any amount of time paying attention to Clemson athletics then you are well aware of who Tim Bourret is and why he himself is a living legend.

Tim got his start as a student and then a graduate student at Notre Dame, an institution that to this day means a lot to him, but after spending his entire working adult life as a member of the Clemson athletics department, he is 100 percent a Tiger.

Tim is an encyclopedia of knowledge. There is nothing Clemson athletics-related that he does not know and whether you are listening to him talk or reading his tweets, you usually walk away in amazement that this mortal is able to recall the types of information he seemingly has on the tip of his tongue.

Whoever persuaded the great Tim Bourret to use Twitter, should be given the Presidential Medal of Freedom for this heroic act.

While he more than likely will not admit that it was a troll job at newly departed linebacker Mike Jones Jr. last night on Twitter, Bourret gave us one of the best troll tweets of all time when he tweeted the following:

Mike Jones Jr.is the third Clemson defender to enter and leave the transfer portal since the football season ended in a plane crash loss to Ohio State to start the year. However, Bourret had remained pretty quiet on his takes until last night.

He then followed it up with this response just in case, people still did not know how he really felt.

We aren’t mad at Tim one bit, he is right. Matter of fact, we have written on this several times. With the exception of Zerrick Cooper, players that have chosen to leave Clemson football tend to not have a college football career.

Even Kelly Bryant and Chase Brice found out the hard way that leaving Clemson doesn’t guarantee success anywhere else. Hell, Brice has already left Duke which is a really bad look for him.

They find another place to play and get lost in the shuffle.

Coach Swinney says all the time how important it is to bloom where you are planted, and while some places just are not the right fit for a guy when he arrives, after three to years it is hard to argue that fit is why you left a place you had called home for so long.

While he wish everyone who decided the leave Clemson football all the best, Tim is right, it rarely works out for them in long run.
