The "offseason" is here...

So, it’s been awhile since I posted anything so I guess I’ll break the streak. There’s really nothing new to touch on. Everything else has been beaten to death by every source.

We’re a decent basketball team and we’ll probably make the tourney (hopefully).

The Confederate flag still flies on the State house grounds and people have mixed opinions of this issue.

Recruiting is going terribly and then it’s going great! Rankings were changed and they don’t matter then they were changed again and they matter!

What’s my take on all of this?

Let’s start with basketball. Everyone is on the bandwagon… and it’s still rolling strong. Now I don’t think anyone expects us to win it all or even an ACC title but making the Tournament really is an accomplishment for our guys and really gives us all some hope for the future. Maybe one day we’ll be where we want to be consistently and it seems like we are on the right path towards this with Coach P as our leader. For now we’ll just keep chugging along.

The Confederate flag issue. I never get into this argument so I’ll just let everyone else complain or give history lessons for me. How’s that sound?

Recruiting… I don’t really care to follow recruiting and hopefully I never will but I think people need to chill out when it comes to recruits. I mean… if someone comes or doesn’t it’s not the end of the world or a reason to celebrate. And rankings mean jack! Gaines Adams, Ko Simpson, Charlie Whitehurst, Roscoe Crosby and Demetrius Summers can tell you all about those rankings. 3 are in the NFL and were 3 stars or lower 2 aren’t and were 5 star guys. The ratings might be a slight barometer for some, but for God’s sake let them play a little before you crown them the next coming or crucify them as crap.

Ok, I’ve offered enough opinions for one day… now down to the bizness!

Videos in the off-season… Today I am releasing another Basketball Highlight video and there should still be 2 more coming. Along with that… I have a year-in-review video from the 2006 football season to be released on Feb 7th and then there should be 1 video every two weeks until the middle of July. Then, I’ll start a top 50-play count down to begin the new season.

The videos that I have planned to make right now are 2 more bballs, 1 year-in-review, tributes to Gaines, Chansi, Reggie M, (and probably more tributes as well) another random football video, and hopefully a baseball video.

One last thing… check out www.clemsonfootballdvd.com and get your self a DVD of last season! The more they sell the better chance that you’ll get more in the future!!! If we sell enough next season will be one of the coolest things you could ask for! I’m telling you, we’ll be able to show you stuff that no one else in the country can offer! PERIOD! Everything that we are doing is for the greater good. Clemson will be on the forefront of progress, I’ll have a job, and all the proceeds will go to The Boy’s Home of the South and you’ll get to see all sorts of cool stuff everyday!! But we won’t be able to get it done unless you help us out! Please buy a copy, I don’t want to have to beg :-) You can get a copy online or at any Spinx location.
