Graduated in 2000. Moved to St. Louis for a couple years, Berkeley California for a few, Italy for two years, back to Oakland California for a stretch, and then to New York City......and now finally back to South Carolina in Charleston. I grew up in Gilbert South Carolina. The whole bunch of Clemson fans. My uncle played football there my dad and all of my cousins and my sister went there. The parents got married and lived in the tin cans as students. Charlie Waters was Dad's groomsman. I was in Johnston E328, RIP. In the blood. My wife graduated from Clemson too, but we didn't know each other there. We met in St. Louis, MO and had Clemson in common....that was enough! Now we are raising little tigers of our own.

I am a major football fan. I can remember the years that Terry Allen and Rodney Williams and Michael Dean and David Treadwell turned me onto it. And there's nothing lonelier than being a Clemson fan in California, where I spent a decade. Now that I'm back in the south it's kind of fun but also kind of sad to see how serious it all gets. But I do have to say my obsession is easier to cope with here. Their are no more 9 AM kick offs like in CA. Funny enough, I didn't go to any football games while I was a student. 1996 to 2000 were sad football years. Plus I enjoyed getting up and going to Yellow Branch falls or Long Creek or the Chauga narrows on Saturdays.

Anyways. I've been lurking on TigerNet for a few years. And decided I should probably pony up. It's a hell of a group of people, and really a proper media outlet with some fine journalists.

PEACE!
