Watson has come off the bench cold several times this year.

I don't think it matters one way or the other. He's not the type personality that needs to be pushed, he does the pushing.
I suspect the coaches will let this flow naturally. Being a pumper I'll stand behind their decision.

I actually met you two in route back from Tallahassee and can say in all honesty, David married up, Nikki honey, well.....you didn't. But David seems like a pretty good fella.
Best of luck to both of you!!

He did OK against UGA in his first game action ever at the college level. I don't see how GT would make him any less of a QB after actually having about 5 quarters of big time FB under his belt. Hold him, and give him that extra week....

CONGRATULATIONS David and in keeping with the football theme, it appears that you significantly outkicked your coverage!! Best to you both. The "clemsoning" verb should never have appeared in the lexicon to begin with........if anything it should have been "Bowdening" as he was to only coach that pulled such stunts with any kind of regularity. Truth be known, we were probably never as good as the pundits said to begin with and we got some kind of positive media bias simply because he was a Bowden. FWIW..............Now go take your bride to someplace exotic like Walhalla or Westminster for a real honeymoon.

whether Watson should play
Nov 3, 2014, 7:50 PM

I think he should come in a few series, maybe three. That will give us 3 .TD'S . Add that to stouts 10 points. And 2 fumbles or interceptions and that leaves us with a 31 to 6 victory. Just saying.

If DW is cleared and has no pain and full mobility
Nov 3, 2014, 8:24 PM
|

Why would you not start him? Because you're afraid of him getting hurt again? I'm just not sure I follow any of this logic.
To me it's all up to the medical clearance, pain, and ability... In that order.

thought "Clemsoning" had kinda changed
Nov 3, 2014, 10:13 PM

to shooting yourself in the foot in big games like we did at FSU and SC did Saturday. Personally, the Clemsoning thing doesn't bother me as much as it does some people. In a way, it is kind of a compliment; it means we're pretty good and are expected to win against poor and average teams and play well against good teams. And, to be honest, we've had some "interesting" games - don't really need to mention FSU this year or last, one of the OBs, and a couple of the SC losses, particularly 2012. If their was ever a game I thought we'd win and didn't in my 40+ years of watching the Tigers, It was the 2012 SC game.

Congratulations from a guy who has been married to the same wonderful girl for 42+ years. We married when I was playing at Clemson (on the team is more like it, as I wasn't very good), and Dr. Robert Edwards gave her a job at Clemson working in the Registrar's Office right after I reported for Fall Practice. What a great start to a wonderful life together! I hope you have all the happiness in the world, and always remember the special place Clemson has played and will forever play in your lives. By the way, we still count our Clemson days among our best, and they really were.

No, we lived in a duplex on Cochran Road. We didn't have very much $ nor stuff, but we had the best of times, and I made the best grades I ever made. Funny how a great woman can make a guy do right, and she still does.

Lets leave this up too the medical staff, the coaching staff and Deshaun. Of course we want to see Deshaun back ... the staff has all the knowledge and will do what is the best thing for Deshaun and the future of Clemson Football. Go Tigers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wake Forest is not a slouch ... so we need to bring our A game. I hope to see the defense obtain Number One ranking next week. Go Big "D". Offense I know you can do it. Believe in yourselves and each other. I believe in you guys and I know that Cole and the whole offense will have a break out game this week. Special Teams lets show our stuff this week. Bring it home guys.

Been to 2 weddings at the OSC. ONE in August and one in January. I don't know which one was the worst due to temperature. January was one that a lot of " antifreeze was consumed. August, I wish I had a tuxedo t shirt and black shorts! Anyway, congrats to you both and hope you live happily ever after and then some. Play DW at Wake if medically cleared for as long as needed. Get him some snaps to get back into his rythem and ready for GA. Tech. Hopefully, Chad will have some non running plays for him if the O can hold up.

Congratulations to you an Nikki, David. Great post as usual. As for "Clemsoning" I think it provides us a platform to continue listing the accomplishments of the past few years as you have done so well. So long as we don't get defensive about it, let the fools continue to reveal their ignorance. A win against the coots will go a long way towards extinguishing the term....

Congratulations. I think you need to do like Coach Swinney...Take a few days off away from the press and stay focused on more important matters!
