A Proposal In September 2004, Ryan, Kelly, my college roommate, his wife and three kids and another good friend took a great RV trip to College Station, TX to see Clemson play at Texas A&M. We left a day early because of the threat of the hurricane that was...

Virginia Tech Review Sometimes I have a ringing in my ear but this morning I am pretty sure that ringing is the whistles from the officials from the Clemson-Virginia Tech game on Saturday. I guess you can make on argument on either side of the issue. I...

Welcome to the Family One thing I heard again and again over the past few months was prospects that had committed to Clemson talk about family. As fans we get it and many of us got it early in our lives but it is refreshing to hear it from the prospects....

Signing Day in a Perfect World I have in my head what signing day should look like but unfortunately some yoo hoos ruin it for everyone, sort of like the guy who ruins the party by drinking too much and making an fool of himself. Count me as one of the...

The Prettiest Ugly I may be the only one that feels this way but I thought last night was beautiful. In fact, I would rather win a game like last night as opposed to that 60% shooting night. No, I have not lost my mind….at least not yet. Let me explain...

State of the Union I have to admit that I did not watch the state of the union address last night but I have seen about 25 or so in my time. In an attempt to avoid politics, I will just move forward with today’s blog which is address to Tiger Nation and our...

Hard Times on the Hardwood Like many of you, I was furious last night but decided to sleep on the loss to Boston College and I do feel a little better this morning. OK, go ahead and accuse me of getting soft in my old age but I am still willing to give...

Sit and Wait I love recruiting but I don't like this week in recruiting because I am not patient enough to sit and wait. My first recollection of recruiting of recruiting came in the late 70s and early 80s when Summerville’s Perry Cuda chose Alabama,...

In watching us play against Duke, I wasn't terribly disappointed, but disappointed nevertheless. We lost to a team on the road and at home, so they are the better team and deserving of their ranking. Duke's defense was stifling, but ours was not awful either,...

Give The Devils Their Due One of the hardest things to do in sports is to give the opponent credit. It is especially difficult if you really don’t like the opponent. I am not a fan of Mike Krzyzewski. In fact, it would suit me if he never won another...

Game Day Sometimes I like some of the peripheral aspects of sports and other times I think they are not a factor. I remember when ESPN Game Day came to Clemson for the Georgia Tech game in October of 2006 and I remember being skeptical of the importance of...

Questions I went to bed last night with questions in my head and woke up this morning without any answers. It is now mid-day and I still don’t have the answers. Why was I not devastated with the loss at Georgia Tech? I don’t believe in moral victories,...

Ring of Honor Today was a day in which we try to get back to a sense of normalcy. Sunday and Monday were hard on Clemson nation. I always think of families of tragedies on the second day a lot. While most of us are devastated when something big hits...

93 Nothing shocks us anymore. We have become desensitized to horrible news because tragedy hits somewhere so often and there are 24-hour news stations that thrive on it. But it was not supposed to happen this way. He was way too young and was just...

  Anima eius et animae omnium fidelium defunctorum per Dei misericordiam requiescant in pace This morning we were struck by news that shakes all Tiger fans to the core: one of our own has died. Gaines Adams signed with Clemson in 2002, coming...

Another hype message from Shoeless to get you psyched for the Spiller Tribute! Should be a good one! Don't expect to see long drawn out plays either... with over 20 plays of 50 yards or more you can't show every single step he made in one 10 minute video. ...

North Carolina Review Let the debate begin. Last night’s 83-64 point win over 13th-ranked North Carolina or last year’s 74-47 victory over 10th-ranked Duke Blue Devils? I love talking about both of those and really don’t mind taking either side in...
