Top 25 Clemson Football Players of All-time RESULTS THREAD
Jun 11, 2010, 12:30 PM
|
|
I'd like to first thank everyone who sent in a vote. Unfortunately, I did not receive as many votes as I did last year. Maybe it was my fault for doing this before it was truly down-time as it is still baseball season, but with my vacation time looming I had to go ahead and do it while I had the time. Thanks to those of you who did take the time to send in a list though!
As I said last year, discussion of the results is welcomed, it is always fun to compare your own list to the final list, BUT if you did not send me a list, please refrain from complaining about the results. You had your chance to vote and missed out so I do not want to hear it.
We'll start by looking at a few who barely didn't make the cut:
30. Bennie Cunningham (18 points)
29. Michael Palmer (19 points)
28. Chester McGlockton (21 points)
27. Aaron Kelly (23 points)
26. Rodney Williams (25 points)

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that he just

finished playing and the average age or the posters that voted? But, there is no way he should be above Bennie Cunningham.

Tyler Grisham was a very good player for Clemson
Jun 11, 2010, 2:34 PM
|

and he was one of my favorite Tigers while playing, but he is no where close to the 25th best player in Clemson history. Whoever voted in this poll did not see the players we had in the late 70's and 80's.

What are some of you people smoking, he's arguably the best player in Clemson history. Without a doubt he's top 10.

I personally think O-lines are judged as units more than individuals. They are basically a team unto themselves.
