It’s signing day and I could approximately not care less. For some reason I just don’t enjoy fawning over the life decisions of 18 year old boys.

In other news, I, like the basketball team, have completely lost focus on the basketball season. I can only agree with DFIG that it has quickly turned into a hard court version of the dreadful football season, choc-full of high hopes and bigger letdowns. So instead of paying attention to what’s going on with the team, I have focused my attention on my coffee mug. It’s metal, shiny, and far more pleasing than a catastrophic conference collapse.

And in a further effort to remove my mind from the basketball season, I’ll be embracing the start of baseball season with a road trip. Since there’s no point in waiting an extra week until Clemson’s baseball season starts, me, my shiny coffee mug, and the little woman are going to Athens primarily to watch the 2006 CWS champion Oregon State Beavers. Yes my friends, it is now the season to hear the ping of the bats and to drink tall, cool Budweisers.

The Gnomes traveled to Death Valley Saturday for the 54-6 shellacking of Florida Atlantic. That’s a lot of points.

A day of sun and tailgating was the perfect remedy for many painful months sans college football.

This gnome, however is still on the road, and the others are planning and executing plans for Labor Day. Look for more discussion and analysis in the upcoming days.

to this guy.

Even if we had the money to travel that far, we’re statues and we can’t dance. Throw in the fact that we’re in the midst of DT and it sounds like a helluva good time for an old fashioned booze fest.
