From due date to game date, Tankersley preparing for exciting season

Like every other person associated with the Clemson football program, cornerback Cordrea Tankersley is looking forward to a late October date with Florida St. in Tallahassee. Before he can think about the Seminoles, however, he has another date to think about. A due date. Full Story »

Cordrea.....


Aug 12, 2016, 11:36 PM

Not only are you a great Clemson Tiger, you will be a greater Clemson Dad. I can tell that you are working very hard....grinding every day to provide a good home and better life for young "Cordrea".
Strap'em on, spot the ball and show'um how it's done Big Daddy ????????.

...the tone of this article? I'm glad he's determined to be a good dad, but is becoming a father outside of marriage and when he's still in school really something we should view as a positive life event? What's done is done, and he's got to make the best of it. But when they put up a picture of Cordrea and his newborn baby during the FSU game, honestly, I'm going to be a little embarrassed. I know he's not the first, and he won't be the last. It's happened in my own family. We accept it and be as supportive as we can, but we don't really celebrate it.

I know I'll get flamed for this, but it just doesn't seem—to me—like something to promote as good. So I'll just say, "Good luck, Cordrea."

I didn't see the article as celebrating a child being born out of wedlock. I'm 42 and a father of three and my wife and I started out the same way. I'm also not condoning having kids before marriage, but what's done is done. He has every right to be proud of his child and future. It's not our job to judge. We had best leave that to the almighty Jesus. So nothing left to do but lift up the gift of a child. Good luck to the young man may he put God first.

I like the way he is accepting his responsibility and is driven to succeed. His life is changing in a big way soon. Pray that he continues to 'man-up' in his role. While his life events schedule isn't what most parents would like to see, he and his significant other could have chosen other paths concerning the pregnancy. I would like to think the program has helped lead him in the positive direction he is on

"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."

Luke 6:37

This is why I prefer to keep my faith private. Too many people think they are above others, have the right to judge others, because they go to church on Sunday's.

I agree BlackFriar. What's done is done. I am glad that he is taking responsibility for his actions. I am glad that he is being responsible for his son and doing his best to make sure his son has a great example. I will celebrate the birth of his son, but not the circumstances. Unfortunately, he has already started with a bad example of not being married. nor does it say whether they intend to get married.

For all of you who are condemning Blackfriar....grow up. Understand that the Bible does say no sex before marriage. It is not judgement, it is what has been written. Tank says that he believes in God, follows the Word and wants to lead the right life. The problem is, you cannot pick and chose what to believe and follow. Luckily, for all of us, we are forgiven for our transgressions. Everyone on here wants to congratulate Tank for taking responsibility and for all he has done, me included, but the truth is the truth. Don't blast Blackfriar for calling Tank out.

And the doctors are going to induce labor so that he can play in the game? REALLY? None of you find that to be the least bit questionable? So the game is now more important than the birth of his son? This is the message? Inducing an early birth has far more consequences than going past due date...all sorts of potential birth defects. Yes, the doctors deem this to be acceptable, but they are not God...they make mistakes. There is no way that I would put my child in that path for danger...your child will potentially have to pay for that mistake for the rest of his/her life... no game, no matter how important, is more important than the child's safety.

We also have more than one CB. Tank isn't the entire team. Trust Dabo and BV to be prepared for the game. I would have wanted Tank to play in this game, but actions have consequences. Something some of you seem to forget...if you play, you gotta pay.


And for all you fools that want to start the coot crap....I graduated Clemson in 1993.

How is inducing labor after full term putting the child in danger? It can be worse to wait.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Is it just me, or is anyone else a little put off by


Aug 13, 2016, 11:00 AM

They specifically stated that they are inducing birth BEFORE the due date. There are far more examples of birth defects in children that arrive early, than those arriving after the due date. My point, though, is that in no way would I put my child in any potential danger for any game, no matter how important. It is, also, not the right message. "Well, son, we moved your birth up because I just couldn't miss playing in that GAME."

Typically you won't be induced earlier than 39 weeks for a reason like this, so if they do it the Saturday before the FSU game everything should be fine. I'm sure if they find it necessary to wait for the baby to go full term then they will.

First off, be glad she believes in Jesus. She sees something in you and believes in you. That is a lot. Second, if you were to understand the Bible and what Jesus has preached, you would know that she is not "screwed", as you so eloquently put it. Jesus was crucified on the cross so that our sins COULD be forgiven. If she believes and is repentant, she is forgiven and will be saved. Third, be glad she believes...there is still hope for you. I can say that I was once like you, but I got "slapped" in the face bad enough to realize. There is anger in your "voice". The only way to true peace, and to realize all the blessings of Christ, is to believe. Feel free to try it some time...it will completely change your life for the better. I would, with all my heart, hope that you try to see it.

You know it's still the slow season when we're reading articles about what kids on our team are having their own kids lol.

Hate to admit this but having a child early with no income or diploma on the wall yet and banking on making millions at the next level isn't a good look. And we all remember Kearse basically shifting all of his focus to his newborn at the end of last season as well. When money becomes the motivation, these kids lose focus and leave early. Part of the program should teach sex education in my opinion. I find it kind of alarming how many of these 19, 20, 21 year olds are having children with no vows, no incomes, with full courseloads and football to stay focused on.

I'm glad I could kick off such a lively discussion, but


Aug 13, 2016, 8:13 PM

... a lot of you missed my point. Or perhaps I didn't make my point very well.

I am not judging Cordrea Tankersley. At his age and in his situation (still a student), not to mention the age/situation of the mother-to-be, I am assuming this was not exactly planned. Still, he is taking responsibility, manning up, and that shows a lot of character. None of us is perfect. It's what you learn from and how you respond to mistakes that show what you're made of. I wish the parents and the baby health and happiness.

I am also not condemning other people who have found themselves in similar situations. My parents, married now for 62 years, were expecting when they married. My brother was also a father-to-be when he married. It has happened to a niece as well. It happens a lot, and it does not mean that the child will have a miserable life. Certainly a child born in those circumstances can be a blessing to its family and beyond. I don't care whether the parents are married or not. But I do care whether parents are making a conscious decision to have a child and are giving the child the best odds to succeed. There are countless great people who have lived through situations like this and are better for it. But you have to admit there are an awful lot of people whose lives have been put on a downward track by an unplanned pregnancy, and some of them never recover.

My criticism was actually aimed at Tigernet and/or Nikki Hood for treating this situation like it is something positive. In my opinion, it is not. We like to think our football program is better than anyone else's, not only from the point of view of athletic accomplishment, but from a moral one as well. We hold our athletes up as heroes and role models, because we trust our coaches to recruit young men of character. Again, I'm not condemning Cordrea: a mistake or two does not mean he's a terrible person. The things that go on at other schools—actual crimes—are far, far worse than what we have here, thank goodness. But I would ask if this particular aspect of his life is something you want your own children to see and just shrug their shoulders and accept as totally okay. This article shrugs its shoulders.

Of all the criticisms of my post, the one that bothered me most was the one that implied that no one is allowed to "talk chit" about Clemson football players, simply because they ARE Clemson football players. I love my alma mater and I love my Tigers, but that doesn't mean nothing they do is ever wrong. You can't take a rusted out '74 Vega and paint it orange and claim it's a Ferrari. One more time: That is not directed at Cordrea Tankersley. It's directed at those whose orange glasses distort everything they see.

Anyway, I'm glad we could have this little discussion Keep those cards and letters comin' in, folks.
