just proof that it isn't only the Coots that drink that dumba$$ SEC koolaid; it's ever fan and every player in the league.
Give me a break. Is the SEC the best league? Maybe. Does it have the best team most years? Yes. But at the end of the day, its just another college football conference like every other one in the country.

That guy should have played for Stevie Wonderboy at Coot U. Would have been a perfect fit for the classless, character-deficient barnyard birds.

The guys at the top do it some, but they don't have to rely on what the league does to make them feel good about themselves, unlike teams like South Carolina and Kentucky, who have contributed nothing to the SEC.

Great article. This reminds me of another insane block

from a few years back. I think it was a Clemson-Carolina game at Columbia(?). I just remember someone leading through the hole and absolutely blowing up two defenders. Both of them sailing through the air like rag dolls.
Wish I could remember the game and person and find a video!
Come to think of it, now I'm wondering if the one I'm thinking of was against FSU. Hmm...

I can't help but enjoy the sight of that first defender bouncing off of Hunter and sailing over the LOS.

Man, its easy to forget how special JD was

His last couple years were marred by injuries and absolutely terrible blocking, but he was one heck of a player. If he'd had even a mediocre o-line to run behind he would be far and away the leading rusher in Clemson history.

KY never knew what hit them, until it was too late. That is the kind of swarming, mauling, take no prisoners kind of play want to see every play of every game. The Tigers put a good, old fashioned butt whipping on another sec team. It won't be the last, if we play like that every week. With an upgraded OL and better LB's this year, we have a shot at being a real force to recon with.

Should be on the field every offensive play either at FB

or TE. Folks, we have a serious offensive weapon in Diehl. Do not let it go to waste Napier!

When TB first came to Clemson I was very excited about RR's fast past open no huddle attack, (of course anything was an upgrade over West) after RR left the offense gradually got weaker and Spence's screen passes were too predictable. It was great when we "upset" a FSU, but being unable to get 10 points vs. a Wake Forest when you had Davis and Spiller showed how soft we could be.
I don't want to be a 80-20 run team. But when it's 3rd and 2 it should be: "I'm coming up the middle you and everybody in the stadium knows it, now try an stop me!"

opinion, he has a great chance to play in NFL as a FB. He is a head knockler and all NFL teams need a blocking FB. Remember the FB from WFU got drafted decently high a few years ago and I think he's playing for the Falcons now.

when you get a compliment of this nature: "could play on any team, anywhere, any year or era." This is basically the highest compliment a player can receive. Wow.
