It's been fun, and I know a lot of you....

...haven't agreed with my criticisms of Dabo, DJ and the program's recent trajectory. That's fine. You won't see those posts very often from here. I'm cutting back and will spending more doing other things. Playing with old cars, building a new garage, enjoying my family and spending more time at the beach. It has been really good ride up until the last couple years. Got to go see the Tigers make Alabama sweat in the desert and then win it all in Tampa. Just kind of sad to see the current trajectory of the program. Clemson could have become a true "blue-blood" program had we continued to build on that glorious night in San Jose that now seems like 10 years ago. But instead we let complacency, hubris, ego and stubbornness cap the rise of the program too soon. Now Clemson will likely flounder in the top 15-20 with a diminishing brand as the ACC improves around us and we continue with the "best friends is the standard" coaching staff approach. Good, but not good enough for me to continue to invest the same level of time and funds. The good news for someone here is there should now be a couple seats in the lower level near the 35 on the Clemson side opening up as I will be cutting back.

I already feel better knowing I won't be letting Clemson football control my calendar and emotions as much as it has over the last 20 years. And thanks Dabo for the two NC's. Those will always be special to me and my family. Just wish you could have kept the fire and adapted as a coach so we could have enjoyed a few more. Regardless, Happy New Year!

Sure hope that the team doesn’t QUIT on Us, I’m betting they will get better sooner than later. Clemson never GIVES UP.!
