That was a pure McCartney song. Lennon went out of his

say to bash Paul's songwriting once The Beatles split up. He called it "pop crap for the masses." That crap is still selling pretty well 55 years on.

Not ashamed to admit I have used "wine-dy" to describe

roads. While I agree that "winding" may be more proper, I never heard that term used much growing up in rural South Carolina.

Compared to Texas, they’re quite windy.

And depending on how one approaches our stadium, one can in fact walk through a graveyard.

We have to learn to be flattered at dumb articles.

It means uninformed people who used to not pay us any attention are now paying attention. And her bio does make her truly qualified to write an ill informed but flattering article.

Apparently this "rag" of a paper doesn't have a sports page editor, or maybe he drinks on the job. I believe the word she was looking for would have been "winding road", but I have to wonder from which direction did she come to Clemson? Perhaps she spent Friday night in Highlands N.C. !!

For some reason she nor her editor used "Tortuous" to describe the winding roads. Wonder why?

Texas and the entire Midwest is laid out in a grid system. I guess it does seem “windy” whatever the heck that is to them.

Her words and article don't bother me, she's A TA&M writer and has a different view than us Tiger fans. The real eerie graveyard is SEATH VALLEY, not Cemetery Hill.

My motorcycle and I are grateful for those "windy" roads. 
But "tortuous"? Nah. More like "glorious".

I know the normal word behind nagging

Is usually cramps. But I don’t know that “nagging cramps” is used that much in a sports story.
