Clemson Football

The Blue Book dismisses all political discussion as irrelevant and disruptive. That's why there are no posts here about Democrats, liberals, progressives ... or any of the other corrupt deadly sins.

The Blue Book never deliberately kicks sleeping lions to provoke a reaction, nor ever intentionally goes tango-ing across mine fields, either.

But let's talk about Clemson, football and whether those two words can still be used in the same sentence.

One of my cousins played tennis for the Tigers. My brother also went to Clemson, but I didn't. And the only person I know who graduated from USC is DJ (who is a good guy, despite most of what you've heard).

So it should be clear that I don't have a dog in the Clemson-USC fight. I'm unbiased, neutral and emotionally uninvolved with which team wins. Totally. But some things should be obvious to even the most die-hard Tiger fans.

Clemson Football is about to embark upon a new era that will be remembered as The Decade of Shame and Humiliation. The next few years will be painful indeed, and see much discord among fans, IPTAY and the Administration ... including how soon to have Death Valley demolished and paved over to provide additional parking spaces for the Lady Tiger Volleyball Team's home games.

Or whether to build a new rodeo ring, with air-conditioned sky boxes instead.

It's gonna be a big hurt, Clemson fans. I love ya'll to death, but hopefully knowing what's coming might make it sting a little bit less. :-)
