Hard not to like the Hilinski kid


Sep 3, 2019, 9:43 AM

I'm stuck in that weird position where I'd like to see him do well, but still don't like SC. Happy for him that he's getting this opportunity, regardless of which school he's playing for.

I feel the same way. I'm pulling for him and his family, they've been through the worst sadness that a family can go through. U of SC is not a rival for Clemson any more than Furman is. It's no fun to pick on a handicapped child.

And if you don't do anything else today, Please read the article at the link, it's so meaningful.
And Go Tigers!

True. I wish he wouldn't have picked USCjr though.

He's not anything but a coot to me. Hope he fails miserably.

Let's remember..


Sep 3, 2019, 9:57 AM

it's (only) a GAME played by athletic young men 17-23 yrs old who are trying to get an education by playing a game and only a few will go Pro.

Saying..let's be real and realize these players are someone's SON, Brother, Loved One, etc!!

Brad Brownell: Only Larry freaking Shyatt has a WORSE overall winning percentage among Clemson basketball coaches since 1975. Let that sink in. It's Larry Shyatt & then Brad Brownell.


I cannot root against this kid, but his family tragedy


Sep 3, 2019, 10:01 AM

makes it all that much more incomprehensible to me that he chose USuK to play college football. I am being 100% serious. It just leaves me shaking my head.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Hate to say it but Hilinski is in for a rough year


Sep 3, 2019, 10:02 AM

if he is USuC's starter from here on out. The USuC schedule combined with their anemic offensive line is going to result in that kid getting beat like a piñata. The kid may have been all world in high school but big boy college ball is a whole new world. The defensive reads are way more complex and the athletes on the field are all top notch.


I feel for what this family has gone through but really wish he had made a better choice for his college football experience. My advice to Hilinski - take your licks this year and hit the transfer portal when Muschamp is fired...

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpgmilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yep, and their OL is horrible. Dude may hit the transfer


Sep 3, 2019, 10:16 AM

portal before all is said and done. Can't fathom what made him pick SCar.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He'll be gone after this season. mark my word***

Sad. To think that poor momma's got to suffer even more

Should have gone to Stanford

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Seems some coot fans in a weird position too


Sep 3, 2019, 10:20 AM

They all wanted their Heisman hopeful QB benched after Saturday. Now they got what they want, but be careful what you wish for. Their 4 year starter is out indefinitely (probably gone forever), their team looks like hot garbage, and is Hillinski ready? I guess now they have their ready made excuse for a 3 win season.

But oh, the dividends this will pay NEXT year! Sound familiar?

This is a spot on statement -


Sep 3, 2019, 10:45 AM

Today, Mark won’t say that Tyler “committed” suicide. He prefers “die by” because Tyler had an illness, and “you don’t commit cancer,” he says

Pulling for their entire family to conquer their daily struggles.
Once he takes the field I want his team to fail but not necessarily him.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I hope he completes every pass he throws in the Clemson game


Sep 3, 2019, 11:20 AM

only to have a defender force a fumble after completion.

well written but very sad. A real shame they are going through this. After reading I see now why the not going to a PAC12 school. I pray for all of them in dealing with this loss. As a parent and grandparent you wish no one had to face this grief.

Well, momma's gonna be crying a lot more watching her son getting killed because the coot OL sucks hard.

I hope he has the intelligence to transfer somewhere else.

True. I wish he would have picked a different school though.

What a brutal experience. It sounds like the family is struggling. I suppose there is no way NOT to struggle, and I can't believe time heals that wound. I hope those around them in SC can help them find peace and joy.
