Is it wrong that I really dislike Mike Davis...
Nov 24, 2013, 6:29 PM

for the childish way he acted when we recrited him. I hope we blow his ### up early and he watches the majority of the game from the bench.
Time to lay the wood.

Other than the fact that he's a coot and I detest anything coot I don't really have a problem with him, he seems like a pretty good kid. The only person who acted childish during his recruitment was James, who later apologized for his actions. He did not want to come to clemson because he wanted to build his own legacy and I'll go as far to say James was the only reason mike Davis was talking about clemson because he wants to make his brother happy like anyone else. Dabo understood mike Davis was set on going to another school so he backed off which put James in a temper tantrum, it was the most professional thing to do on both sides. You can't force someone to go to a school they don't want to go to and I can honestly see why he wouldn't want to be in his brothers shadow, do you know how big expectations would have been for him coming here? He would forever be in the shadow of a clemson great in James Davis.

Actually I don't think that would have been the case.

He would have said from the beginning that he is his own man and I seriously doubt too many Clemson fans would have made comparisons to him and James. By the way, David Carr's younger brother seems to be doing ok. He didn't go to Boise State or any of Fresno State's other rivals.

Another thing that I guarantee put him off was the fact that he would probably be behind McDowell whereas USuCk had a vacancy at running back that was waiting to be filled. Tyshon dye is going to be a monster of a running back we do not need mike Davis and he knew that if he came to clemson he wouldn't be the big fish in a small pond that he is at USuCk.

Danny Ford hauled in 4 of the top RBs in the country in ONE YEAR. Never hurts to have depth at that position...just look at us now.

Oh of course we would take him but I was just saying we have 2-3 backs here just as capable as mike Davis. Tyshon dye who had surgery on his back sat out this year and zac books going down with a shoulder injury takes away 2 of them Zac being one of the biggest blows we took Saturday from an injury standpoint. But hotrod is a very very capable back and actually ran well against suck last year the few times he got the ball, I expect hotrod to play out of his mind this last game, everyone here has witnessed how impressive of a back hotrod is when he's on his game.

People still make comparisons of him to his brother

So I doubt he's ever really going to avoid it. It's only natural. Just look at what we do with guys who are related to others like Milan Richards, or the Davis brothers and Cannon Smith among others...comparisons will always be made. It's ridiculous for MD to think he'll avoid it regardless of where he goes...

Go look up some info on how it played out. I don't think Mike was the problem, James went off on Twitter when Dabo texted him saying his little brother's visit was cancelled. I don't think James's brother ever wanted to go to Clemson because he didn't want to follow his brother....James wanted it. His younger brother was originally committed to Florida and when he decommitted is when I think James was trying to get him on campus. I don't know why Dabo didn't let Mike visit.

The bottom line is this guy, Mike Davis, is a low life piece of trash. His mother, brother, and uncle are avid Clemson fans, and you choose the rival school of the family. To me the guy has low morals, low character, and no honor. He barely qualifies as a human being. I hope someone on our defense breaks him apart.

I hate that he has a SCar uniform on and I hope we utterly destroy his team and give him personal season-low numbers. And I thought it was tacky of him to pick his brother's arch-rival school. But to call him a low-life piece of trash, etc. is extreme.
I'll hate every step he takes in a SCar uniform but have no personal dislike for him.

Why not trash Milan Richard? I'm sure Uncle Herschel would've liked to see him end up at UGA, and yet he chose to go to rival Clemson? Must be a lowlife, no character blah blah who deserves to get injured.
Mike Davis is a talented player who as far as I know hasn't gotten in trouble for anything. I imagine he's a good kid, much like his brother was. Not to mention we weren't even recruiting him that hard since we thought we'd get Gurshall.

This has nothing to do with Mike Davis the football player. This is about Mike Davis the person. Kendall Fuller chose Virginia Tech over Clemson because his family are all Tech fans. Mike Davis could have chosen any school in America to play football, but to slap and disrespect your family like that says a lot about him as a person. Yes, I hope our defense breaks him in half and that is being nice! I hope he is hurt as a low life person verses a football player. Hope that is understandable!

another running back at the time. Maybe I'm wrong. I do wish he was on our team. No matter how mmuch distaste I have for Mike, his brother James will always be one of my favorite Clemson Tigers.

but, I don't care who you play for, I don't wish an injury on anyone. The way I was taught to play, you hit everyone as hard as possible, but never with the intention of hurtig anyne. Period.
