From down in Chickentown, Paul Strelow has started up a seemingly in depth blog covering Clemson Sports. Check it out and frequently as he has already amassed some serious postage in just a few days.

It’s that time, no I’m not referring to football, it’s that time in all of our lives when we begin to realize we are all getting old and we have to start thinking about scary things like, am I saving enough for retirement, have I had my Ensure today, and what we are going to do with our kids during the football game? I realized I was getting old when I saw that Fike is now offering the greatest service EVER to Clemson football fans, daycare. Yes, you saw right, daycare. I came to the grim reality that I am growing up into an adult and crossing over from the wonderful years of my life that were considered to be of “young adult” status. Or, I’m just a bit more football crazy than I thought I was. Is being a little bit relieved that I will know what to do with my kids one day when I have them, God willing, crazy? Well, for those of you which have little tigers, no worries, you no longer have to keep them locked in your car or leashed to a tree during the big game, just contact Fike and they will watch your children for a fee of $50 during the game. Pre-registration must be for each game and be submitted the Monday before kickoff. The service will be provided for all children between the ages of 3-10 at games which start before 5pm. Contact Susan Pope at (864) 656-6673 or at email sc@clemson.edu for more information.

After DFIG’s amazing coverage of the Virginia Cavalier QB situation and the God that has blessed them, news out of Charlottesville is that the Cav’s not only like to continue their alcohol related charges but compounding them by stealing beer. Along with the theft and making it oh so worse is the fact that the beer came from a GAY BAR.

NO JOKE…….read away and prepare for the UVA / Clemson game and the mockery that will ensue.

EDIT: From a gnome insider: whoever loses to UVA this year has officially been bent over by the cavs.

I’m certainly pleased that the Championship Game is moving from Jacksonville. Even though I haven’t gone to any of the Championship Games, all accounts not belonging to the event organizers have labeled Jacksonville as a total failure of a venue, surprising absolutely no one. The new location is Tampa Bay. I probably won’t go there either, even if Clemson is playing, because, frankly, this Clemson fan is too cheap to travel that well. Even if I wasn’t that cheap, I have to say that right now I would consider specifically avoiding Tampa Bay because I’m at least slightly miffed that people of Tampa Bay have taken to spamming blogs, this one in particular. Seriously. Not. Cool.

We here don’t have an official comments policy. But when someone shows up to use this blog as a free advertising platform, it’s probably not going to be tolerated.

Sorry for the rant.

From Time’s Public College of the Year to continuous Princeton Review accolades, Clemson is always a well respected university in the media. Now, the students have spoken in a national Princeton Review of students and their lives on and around campus. MSN has the article and once again, Clemson shines through as the School With the Happiest Students. Now when people ask why Clemson fans are like a cult following in their passion for the school and its teams you can validate it by informing them that it truly was the best 4 (err 6) years that a kid could ever have!

It’s Friday, are you wearing your Orange?

Yahoo sports has some interviews from the ACC coaches and player preseason conference. Tommy Bowden and Cullen Harper talk about the preseason expectations and their thoughts on what is to come.

Also, Jeff Davis has been inducted into the college football hall of fame. Congrats Judge!

For it will only make you bitter in the end. And if everything does work out and Clemson wins the ACC, then at least you will be pleasantly surprised!

Damn it is getting very hard to remain the pessimist on this upcoming season!

This bit of news almost slipped by me, and it may have slipped by everyone else.

Clemson’s coaching staff is considering redshirting senior Rendrick Taylor in order to give experience to freshmen running backs Jamie Harper and Andre Ellington, Bowden said.

If this comes to pass, I can’t that I’m surprised that we won’t see ManBearPig on the field. It would be surprising that his lack of playing time would not be related to an injury.

Here’s looking forward to 2009!
