My favorite thing about CJ Spiller


Aug 16, 2020, 9:47 AM

I think what made him so special watching his highlights (thanks tnet!) it didn’t matter if he was at the 50 or the 5 his acceleration never slowed down. He could be 30 yards in front of the closest defender and he never looked back he just kept the jets burning full force. I loved that about him. Nowadays just about every running back slows down when they know(or think) they are far enough away and trots across the goal line. Spiller accelerated all the way to the line no matter what.

My favorite player. If there’s one criticism I have with Coach Swinney is being manipulated by a certain 5star running back who ended up being a coot and taking No 28 out of retirement to land a recruit

Spiller is still my Clemson GOAT. Imagine what he could do on these teams we have now...

No need to trash Feaster. I disagree with his decision but by all accounts he’s a good kid.

True he’s a Clemson man through and through. Just didn’t like the whole unretired jersey number deal. It wasn’t the same as how it went down with DW4 and Steve Fuller.

I don’t recall all the details, but I thought CJ also gave permission.

Of course CJ gave him permission. CJ would give anything to Clemson or anyone else. That’s the kind of selfless person he is.

-Graduated from Clemson

-Won 2 Nattys, 3 ACC championships

-Made a business decision and STILL WAS EMBRACED by his former teammates at Clemson

Personally, I wasn't a big fan of him deciding to go to a rival but he made his decision for whatever reason.

Doesn't matter if it worked out for him in OUR eyes or that he would've MAYBE been drafted if he stayed, yada-yada. Y'all that got ill will towards the dude need to grow up.

Clemson graduates have decided to go to Carolina for grad school too and that doesn't make them less of a Clemson graduate - simply a business decision.

When Feaster committed we ALL had high expectations based on the buzz surrounding the kid and him getting to wear Spiller's jersey. Sometimes things don't work out.

Wish him well and just remember the #28 that had some of the best Clemson highlight plays ever - Mr CJ Spiller

When at Clemson I got a kick out of how his little daughter didnt understand why people wanted his autograph. By all accounts CJ seems to be a really good guy. Glad he's a Tiger and in the area.

In future, a good "rule" to use with recruits and numbers


Aug 16, 2020, 11:44 AM

would be this:

Your freshman year, you get a number we assign. IF you can beat the stats of the previous star who wore that number (his freshman year) AND get his blessing, you can have the number starting your sophomore year. That would make it like most things in life should be, performance based.
