Deer Coot Nation:

As I fail at my final "official" football event at Coot U I wanted to recognize all of you who made my coot experience as described by Clemson fans come true.

Thank you Coach Visor and staff for single handily costing us 3 games in the 4th quarter and for not equipping us to stop Artavis Scott hence ending our win streak and potentially entering into our own significant losing streak to Clemson. My senior year was ruined and it is 100% my fault that I had to play for you by accepting the offer to this school and not listening to those people that were close to me trying to help me make the best decision for my future. As a result I really have no future to look forward to and met none of my collegiate goals.

I never met the president or AD of this University and I always wondered why. I'd like to hold the training staff and team doctors responsible for not having me ready to play and when I was injured putting me back on the field before I was ready or felt comfortable playing.

I expected my coot experience to be better due to the relationships I would form with my current teammates and players from the past, however that did not happen as most of the current players spent time in jail and former players never return here.

My experience got worse when it came to academics, the fact that my teachers just passed me and the coaches did not make me attend class further support the fact that I have a future at McDonalds flipping burgers or at a gas station as Lane Kiffin stated rather than being a successful member of a nice community with a high paying, respected job. So to my professors and again to the football staff thanks for nothing.

Finally, to the fans that packed the cockroach on Saturday, thanks for the endless number of bird's you shot opposing fans and players and for cheering us for winning, and I hate you all for leaving early when we were losing. I can't help that my coaching staff let me loaf through practice and that in some games we weren't prepared well and in no way, shape, or form should that be held against me. You should support us like Clemson fans support them or GTFO. I will forever have lung issues from running onto the field through the fire extinguisher smoke.

It was my fault I wore the Garnet and Black,and I will definitely not be an active part of the coot nation moving forward just like all the ex-players I hoped to have relationships with.

I'm No Longer a Coot and hope all association with the school can be broken!!
