give his best. Giving one's best may not make you the best. Heck it might not even get you honorable mention at the beer drinking contest. When you give your best, however, and it is not enough, there is nothing of which to be embarrassed or ashamed. I am an old man now and it took me a life time to understand that about myself--about others.

I think Cole has given his best. He has been hurt and the line has not served him well, but he has not complained to my knowledge. He rode the pine for 3 years and gave support when needed. He has done all that can be expected--"His best!" He knows he's not the best QB in America and he certainly knows we know he's not. We have certainly reminded him of it adnauseam. All he can do is give the best effort he can. I think he has done that.

I for one admire his character, his maturity, and his commitment to the Clemson family and team. I would take Cole over a narcissist like Cam Newton any day. Yea, I know, but I would not make a Faustian bargain and sell my soul for a National Title like Auburn did. The end does not justify the means to the end.

Cole may not be the best QB in college football, but he is our QB, a product and a great example of Clemson University and he will give us his best Saturday!

Win or lose Saturday, that will not change for me. Either way I will be proud of him.

Now! Go Tigers! Eat some chicken!
