APM's Clemson joy/APM's Clemson heresy.

Aug 20, 2019, 10:49 AM

So happy news yestidee, as lil'APM says to APM, he says, "Dad, mark this day. I'm probably going to apply to Clemson." This is a joyous thing bc even though lil'APM has been going to games at Clemson with APM for years, he wasn't overly impressed with the campus tour last year and frankly, neither was APM. Clemson has changed since APM's day. BUUUUUUUTTTT, lil'APM did an architecture internship this summer and he likes it. And Clemson has architecture. Sooo...fangers crossed. We'll see what happens.

OTOH, this news of damage at the Esso Club does not bother APM. The truth is, APM has never really loved the Esso Club. And he has sure never been a fan of Mac's. Spitoono was cool back in the day, but otherwise APM has never bought into the Esso hype. APM was always a Jimmy Howard Sloan Street guy.

Back in the day, the Esso was far more a local joint during the week and a tourist destination on game days. Now, it's 100% tourist destination. I was a fan because on my days off from bars I worked at, I could hide at the bar a little more anonymously there and I knew a lot of the regulars. These days, I'll go in a heartbeat to eat meat & three on a weekday, but I never go down there on game days. In all honesty, Sloan Street is the closest thing to the old days for me but I rarely go to any Clemson bars anymore. It's a different world, and MY Clemson is all but gone. I'll always love it there, but nearly everything that made the place great in my era has changed or disappeared.

That said, I truly can't understand how any millennial could walk away unimpressed by Clemson's campus. It seems the entire university is now set up in a way to get their business.

He is serious and yes, the economy thing concerns me BUT

APM wasn't either. They bussed us over from a church.
