Question: Who should start at QB Saturday?
Answer: Good afternoon, sorry I am 13 minutes late. I have been standing in line all day. Good question. I would always play the guy that practices the best each week. Question: What the @#$# has happened to our offense? Answer: Turnovers, penalties, play calling, decision making and execution Question: Is CW a leader? Do we have any leaders (a la Khaleed Vaughn and others 2 years ago)? Answer: I am not sure Question: True or false... The sky is falling?! Please explain to these poor, lost souls that this is a process, and this offensively and defensively, Clemson will be much better in 2006... Answer: I think Clemson will be better but I am an optimist. The schedule is easier Question: Is CW really hurt? Answer: He has had a bad shoulder since Miami Question: So why all the secrecy around Charlie's lack of practice this past week? Answer: They did not want to alert the opponent Question: I am all for the execution of the offense. Answer: LOL Question: Any reason why TB is afraid to sit someone down if they arent having the best of days? Answer: He has always been loyal Question: Quick question, what was the new formation Vic Koening used in the NC State game? Answer: He played a three man front more Question: With the talent that Clemson has, the blame has to be placed on Tommy, right? Answer: Ultimately yes Question: Did we lose any recruits Saturday?

Question: It is amazing to see how this defense is really developing into something special, especially with so many youngsters getting a lot of PT... Answer: The defense still has some growing to do but it has shown some signs of being dominant in the future Question: Is TB letting Spence call the offense, like he was supposed to do? Answer: Yes Question: We give really goood driving directions to recruits so they don't get lost, right? Answer: I think so Question: How can the blame for this last game go soley on TB, he didn't fumble, miss open receivers, hold etc etc, this one was on the players for not executing....period...but I guess we should just blame TB for everything Answer: He is ultimately responsible for everything. I blame the staff for certain play calling (Naked bootleg out of your own endzone, third-down. Also bad use of time outs) but turnovers, penalties, execution and bad decisions are players too. Question: Is it conceivable for Clemson to compete for ACC championships within the next 2-3 years? Answer: Yes Question: Why does George Bennett keep sending me letters about paying for a brick I paid for 3 years ago?

Good thing Duke stinks Question: Is 8 wins out of the question for next season?? Is it at this point a bare minimum to keep some of the looney tunes in line??? Answer: I think 8 is very possible Question: Is the QB or the Receivers the problem? Our OL seems like their doing a good job... Answer: QB had a bad game Saturday Question: Is it true that some around the program have tremendous faith in Proctor if he will ever be given the chance? Answer: Most think he will do a great job when given the chance Question: Was the4th & 7 pass a bad play by Charlie?

Answer: No Question: Are most of these questions coming from folks with cock or usc or gameock in their handle? Answer: Not that I have noticed Question: Wouldn't it be better for James to play Saturday and take some hits then come into FSU without much hitting since the NCSU game??? Answer: I can see both sides of the argument Question: How much liquor did TDP need to drink to soften the blow of checking his voicemail this morning? Answer: I cant imagine it was too fun Question: Assuming a 6-5 finish for this team, is it possible to still maintain some of the recruiting vibe the staff has conjured up prior to the start of this season?
