CLEMSON Clemson linebacker Ben Boulware downplayed Christian Wilkins groping an Ohio State player, as well as himself grabbing South Carolina offensive lineman Zack Bailey by the butt, when he met with the media on Wednesday.
Boulware said it is something the Tigers have done all year to mess with players.
“Is that really that big of a deal? People that are blowing that up have never played the game, or like I said, went into the bathroom stalls to change because they were scared to change in front of their teammates,” Boulware said. “Me and Christian have fun out there. That’s how we play the game… It’s something we do, just have fun. It might look weird or homosexual to others, but it’s just fun out there. We just like to have fun.”
Boulware added that Wilkins might have gone a bit over the top by making his grab so obvious.
“No one’s probably done it as aggressive as Christian did,” Boulware said. “We try to be a little more discrete about it and like poke somebody. He definitely grabbed a handful.”
Bailey tweeted out a video of Boulware poking him in the butt after Wilkins’ incident on Saturday.
“I did it against USC where the dude tweeted it,” Boulware said. “I just poked him in the butt. It’s something we do just to mess with players just to kind of break up the seriousness of the game.”
Boulware also said that poking someone in the butt is better than what happens at the bottom of some piles.
“Would you rather me poke you in the belly button or grab your butt, rather than me stomp on your ankle or kick you in the area?” he said. “I have a whole video compilation of me messing with offensive linemen or players. I’ve never done it as aggressive as Christian did it. I would just poke them. But it’s something we do just to mess around out there. It’s gained some unwanted attention.”

Like many have said, Dabo and the team are fine Christians.
Ping
I believe the strict definition is “assault”.
Roll Tide!! Beat the gropers.
Sportsmanship seems to have died at Clemson.
Holy Faggot Batman!
You all never played running back. I did talk about my nuts getting squeezed to see if I would fumble the ball
Me and Christian ...
Slept through English 101 ...
This was a guy laying on the ground, play was dead. The Moo-U player bent over and fondled him.
I guess if you can’t deny it, then you might as well embrace it.
That was more than a butt-grab!
Serial assault
Thats a sexual assault right there, if enough is made of this, the NCAA will put an end to that.
He'd better add: Not that there's anything wrong with that....
Else the Gay Mafia will be all over him..................
Just seeing that video clip makes me sick. How can that just be in fun?
