Even worse, you have coals and switches as your surprise! After being really good all offseason, you asked for a Heisman contender QB, a Conference title, beat your arch rival, make a deep run in the playoffs. And then, poof, all gone, nothing, nada, yada, yada, yada. As you know I am an old coot, we have more in common this year than any in a long time. Welcome to misery loves company, join in the party Florida and Coach Napier. Prediction: honey dos, HomeDepot/Lowe’s sales, weekend getaways all skyrocket for the rest of 2025. “Wait ‘til next year” is a registered trademark of USC, or Carolina or SC. :-D :-O

Told a friend yesterday that the season might wind up exactly like

those during my years at Clemson in the 60's.

Both Clemson and Carolina had mediocre programs with little to no chance for bowls. Thus, fans of both regarded our annual matchup as their big bowl, celebrating accordingly. Being at CU from 1965 to 1969, we won twice, Carolina won twice. Then, our seasons were over, and we all went about getting ready for Christmas and the New Year.

I think the rivalry was more intense in those days, and I laugh recalling some of the idiotic shenanigans among students from both schools like painting the ole Tom statue at CU or dying the pool at Carolina. Clemson even had armed (with baseball bats) patrols on foot and in cars roaming the campus and surrounding areas, looking for USC culprits! Carolina did much the same. But you know what? The two schools never seemed to mind joining up off campus for parties! LOL....(One of the best I ever attended was in one of the row houses along Blossum St. near Five Points the night before our game, and it was packed with Clemson and Carolina kids drinking Everclear, dancing to the tunes of The Four Tops and raising the roof off that old house! No arguing, no fighting, just young folks having a blast.)

Good times...then and now, despite our records!
