CBProf® I’m curious to know how long it usually takes for you to write up one of your Clemson ____ seasons ago comments on OJ’s Hill Watch’s. Also when do you put it together? Do you write each of your historical Clemson lessons the day your gonna post them on Hill Watch or do you write multiple “lessons” in one sitting, save them and then post them when your ready to? For me and my Daily Player Spotlights, it usually takes me about 15-20 mins to do one player and 30 mins to an hour for me to write up 2 players. I’m a procrastinator so I write each of my spotlights the day before I post them to Hill Watch.

Thanks, Clemsonsince08!

This has been a lot of fun for me. I have been enjoying doing these season recaps very much! I suspect you have enjoyed putting together your excellent player profiles as well.

Summarizing each season in the first few decades of Clemson football went quickly. Each of those early seasons probably took fewer than 15 minutes to recap.

Somewhere around the 1960s-1970s, recapping each season started taking longer. I think that happened because more information about each season became available. It now takes me about 20-30 minutes per season. That includes looking for images and/or videos as well as highlighting a particular player or coach for that season.

I tend to write one or more seasons when I feel I have some free time (i.e., instead of turning on the TV, etc). For most of the spring/summer, I have been writing the season summaries several weeks ahead of time. Currently, I have written a summary for each season through 2017. I fully expect the glorious 2018 season will take a bit longer than most seasons to recap.

Thanks, and I enjoy your player profiles each day as well!

CBProf® Lol I didn know what to call your messages. So I just called them “ Clemson ____ seasons ago comments” or “Lessons”but “season recaps” works way bettor.

It’s interesting that we both have different write up schedules. With me waiting until the day of to write my Spotlights and you writing your Season recaps several weeks ahead. We both make it work though.

Now I am planing on posting a daily spotlight about Clemson’s current coaches. I’ll post them as its own post, separately from OJ’s Hill Watch. There are 13 official coaches on Clemson’s roster so I’ll be doing a daily countdown starting Aug 18th. I already have 2 of the Coaches spotlights written. I’m planing on writing the rest of them between now and Aug 18th. So all my Coaches Spotlights should be all typed up by the time I start posting them in a few weeks. While I will still be typing up my Player Spotlights daily.

Best Wishes on writing your last 7 Season recaps. I hope the 2018 season doesn’t give you too much stress to write about. 2018 is gonna be a fun season to read about but I can imagine it to be a hassle to research that much and then you have to organize and choose what to put in your 2018 recap. So happy writing! Don’t let the writers block get you.
