It seems to me that play is about as terrifying to a fan as one can be. If it exposes anything it is the truth in the adage that a ball in the air belongs to who can get it, and there aren't five college QBs who can throw one very deep to a precise location where his tallest receiver can get it...

Well, an argument is an argument is an argument. But the Miami game is dead and gone as is last season, and Roof is in Raleigh, showing again that if nothing else the man can get himself good jobs. My 8th grade literature teacher once taught a quatrain about the moving hand writes, and then goes...

Ouch. This isn't fair.

If the offense has a weakness -- in my small opinion -- it is that it requires an particular kind of QB, and a very good one of that kind. And in 10 years Johnson has had one of that kind. That led to a glorious blowout of MSU in the Orange Bowl and an almost shot at the NC before FSU hung on...

Actually I think this is a pretty fair assessment. It avoids the polemics that always accompany this evergreen argument and at least to my mind assigns criticism and praise in thoughtful doses.

If nothing else works, put a traffic circle up there. That should do it.

The DCs we have had, at least by their performance, needed nobody else to scape their goat.

You just told me something I didn't know. Was there not, way back in the day, under Dodd I think, a RB from Thomson named Stumpy Thomson? Or did I make that up?

Do we know for a fact he was trying for a Tennessee interview? I have seen it as common wisdom, but nobody has actually said they know it for a fact and here's how. And the "consistently" reminding us of other offers, again I am not disputing you because I don't know. But the only reference to...

Ah, that Tech degree does pay off, does it not?

If you wanna be Ray Guy, work on that hang time. I read a description by an NFL returner once who said Guy hung the ball so long, and defenders swarmed so fast, that "it was like catching it in an auditorium."

No, apparently not. He seized the opportunity at Clemson, made possible by a football NC, and has a building program maybe unmatched in college athletics. At the same time he is driving for improvement in varsity programs across the board, and a couple of coaches who didn't measure up are gone...

I see one "We don't care how you do it up north"; one "Go back where you came from"; one "who do you think you are?"; one "You think you're better than us,"; one illusion to mackerel snapper; and finally, with the Cubbies, one for good measure. I nominate you for the Thomas Jefferson...

Well, okay then.

We'll learn something about Frost this season. He was at UCF just two years so his 19 wins were with somebody else's players, and I'm not diminishing what he did with them. But "his" players were just sophomores his last year, and if both sides graduated, well. Frost will not have been the first...

No argument. What is that contractual catch-all about past performance being no guarantee of ... Like others on the board I want to win it all, but given the alternatives -- FSU, Miami, VT, UNC -- I'll go with Clemson otherwise. There's just something about the others.

And who amongst has who has read the book, gulped a couple of times, and wondered, "Could I have taken that?" My answer was a resounding no. Hello, basketball.

I agree. And Swinney can one-line you to death. Last year when the players at the ACC kickoff event were asked to vote on the coach they would most like to play for, excluding their own, it was Swinney in a landslide so to speak. His reaction was that, "Everybody wants to play for me until they...

Might break into top 25, but not close to top 10. The reason being GT has a history of surprising Clemson so that would not be a big surprise, so to speak. And Tech's see-saw seasonal record of recent years is nothing to build a top 10 reputation on. We would need more quality wins to get that...

I have to say I am with him as far as Duke is concerned. Including the adjectives.
