I just listened to the Clemson Cotton Bowl official presser.

I sat in my truck in the driveway listening to it on Sirius XM ESPNU Channel. My biggest take away is that our players were all well spoken, exhibited intelligence, had great senses of humor, and were humble and polite. My eyes started to well up because of my extreme feelings of pride. During the Christian Wilkins interview, they complemented him for his speech after receiving the Campbell(?) award for the best scholastic student athlete. They asked Christian how long that he practiced his speech. Christian replied that he had not practiced at all because he really didn't think that he was going to win it, and that his speech was from the heart. They then asked him about the Big Dex suspension, and Chistian commented that since Dabo gave Big Dex a whistle and asked him to do a little coaching that he now thinks that he is best coach ever! You then heard faint laughter in the background. I'm pretty sure that it was Big Dex. I'm guessing that Christian was looking right at Big Dex when he said it. Another big take away for me was that ESecPN was FINALLY acknowledging the amount of substituting that Clemson has done this year and how well prepared the "next man up" is.
