Did Jerry Clower really play for State or is that just part of his stand up act?

Pretty sure he actually did
Posted on 5/6/11 at 3:44 pm to Rebelgator
yes and he was a member of Phi Kappa Tau fraternity, whatever the hell that was.

yes he did- offensive lineman if I remember correctly

Yes - he was an offensive lineman. He got pancaked by a defensive lineman and told the story of pulling dirt and turf out of his facemask and realized - "the meek shall inherit the earth"

I remember him having a joke about getting knocked out and waking up on the lap of an auburn cheerleader

Did he ever play defense? Th joke I heard was about him missing a tackle against Clemson.

I was a Phi Tau at State. Off campus fraternity, very Animal House-like. The outside of the house on South Jackson Street even looked like the one in Animal House.
Phi Tau spent years trying to raise money to build a house on campus, and after I left, they finally did. I think they folded a few years after that.
Don't remember if Jerry Clower ever came around the house as a Phi Tau alum.

Jerry Clower played his first two years at Southwest (MS) Junior College right down the road from his home in Liberty.

Just heard it on XM. Switched to Bluecollar because Jim Brewer wasn't being funny... Shock.

The only thing funnier than Jerry Clower is MSU's football program

That was a joke BTW...

What's the difference between Auburn and State? About $20,000.
Posted on 5/6/11 at 5:01 pm to Rebelgator
And about 20 head to head wins difference? That was a great joke
