Dude. He said "feel." They FEEL like they ran up the score. Rice went for a TD at the very end of the half.. to close out scoring 28 points in 7 minutes. Also, they went for and got a 4th down conversion in the second and even went for one in the 4th. I bet that feels like "running up" the score. Chill out. I don't see that as making up facts.

I thought you were finished with this topic.

I guess if keeping your #1 QB away from injury and at the same time getting your #2 QB (future #1) *some* playing time is considered "doing nothing," then you are right. Going against a hungry second team Clemson defense isn't mop up time. He wasn't kneeling the ball and the Clemson team wasn't just sitting back on him. I think you are being hyperbolic.

I think they played this one close to the vest. No need to blow our element of surprise with his packages. Clemson negated the wildcat package with their speed -- nor were we really close to winning and 10 more of his plays would make the difference.

Ok ok. "A #2 QB (that may be the future of your team)." Kitna is not that. He doesn't need the reps.

He was cramping -- from what I could tell.

Wise words, totally. Recruiting players and having them agree to play here doesn't mean "you will get a full 4 years of starting." Most likely, they get two full years of starting, if they EVER crack the 2 deep. Everything after that is bonus for both the team and player.

I felt bad for Ford's family at the game. They were all there from Charleston and happy as could be. Then out out of nowhere, some lady leaned over and said "You guys Steven's parents? He broke his leg, they took him back." His poor family went into swivel head mode -- looking around for their boy. He came out on crutches by the 3rd quarter and gave them a nod.

My impression(s) of Clemson: * It was a nice campus, not stellar, but nice. * The stadium is good and thankfully they didn't back the visitors in the sun (ahem, UT). * Clemson fans weren't over the top nice, they were on the verge of being completely ignorant to our presence. I prefer ignorance over the way OU fans are. We didn't get invited into any tailgate, though we tried by leaning in an asking questions about Clemson -- to which I heard "Clemson grows to the second largest city in SC" 23 times. This isn't a problem normally at most schools, they love to feed and mock the opponents. As it turns out, the Clemson fan just looked through us and our green attire, literally. It was as if they didn't know our school colors are green/white. It wasn't bad or good -- just was peaceful. We went "downtown" to find a burger and everyone I asked where to get the best burger, they looked at me blankly and then said "I dunno." It was odd. I thought that perhaps we weren't "downtown", just on the campus drag, so I asked a man if we were downtown and he said that we were in fact "as downtown as you could possibly be." We ended up at an empty place and were surprised to discover it was a sushi joint (!!), but we could order from the adjacent wing place for gameday food. It turned out to be a rather nice place to watch games and drink cold ones -- on a side note the server had some choice comments about a "minority based small school south of here" and gave my whole group puppy heads. * Wow, the town of Clemson is tiny -- 12k. * Clemson Uni isn't much larger -- 17k. It was a fun trip -- near the top of my list. I found a place in Chapel Hill that served me up a 23yo Bourbon for $51 a serving and discovered the Carolina love for biscuits.

Second reference to that. What did I miss while I was out roiding?

I agree with some of your list, but I have nothing but optimism. All hail the first week of college football. I watched the game in person and was absolutely stoked about what I saw. When I got home and watched it on DVR, the luster wore off just a tad, but not completely. The Tune turnovers were killer. He also fumbled twice, but we recovered both. He and Dunbar also had a several miscues on the zone read where Tune ended up having the ball (precariously), when he wanted Lance to take it. He also audibled a couple times and it took too long, so the defense was able to recover and stuff us. Even with this little list, Tune was a stud. He was accurate, decisive and mobile. I hope this does nothing but build his confidence coming into the Rice game. Overall though -- definitely a good way to open to the season and I am very comfortable with Tune as QB. This one didn't hurt like the KSU opener.

I like white/white uniforms. In comparison, I will take any uniform over the turds I saw BSU and VT wearing lastnight.

He doesn't look too happy there. It's like he is signing up for the draft..

Purdue is close. http://www.pycomall.com/images/P/purdue_university-01.gif

It only take magic to beat it. No worries.

I forgot my emoticon.

I <3 this time of the year. The TTG, Quoner, GP1 and CBL turn it one long bit. You are either in or out. HI-Vs all around.

I don't see Riley starting.

Whoa. When did Moot return?

9) The commercial played during halftime includes: "UNT: The Leading University of the DFW Area" I saw in the new temp presidents email today that he used that phrase. Maybe he thought it was original.

Me + 2

I am flying into NC, hopefully that is far enough in land and north of the hurricane.

Got my Clemson tickets in the mail Saturday. This week can't move fast enough.

This punishment glosses over the use of a stolen check to secure the loan. Sure,the loan violates NCAA rules, but the stolen check violates the law. This only makes me guess that MTSU does't care about the broken law?

This same story was in the North Texan that magically appeared in my mailbox a few years back.
