We don’t want a Governor who governs for a year before turning her attention to campaigning for federal office and we don’t need a change from Kemp’s successful policies. It is for all of these reasons I humbly ask you to consider supporting Brian Kemp for Georgia Governor in 2022. Continue reading
Clemson had a tumultuous football season that fell below expectations in 2021. Despite that, they still managed to battle their way to 10 wins behind a defense that remained elite despite a bevy of injuries. Some position groups shined while others struggled. As a 2021 season review, I delved into the stats, PFF grades (based … Continue reading
The 2021 NFL Draft in Cleveland begins on April 29th where the Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to kick off the proceedings by taking Clemson’s standout quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Nearly every American has been impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Sports fans have missed March Madness and at least to-date the NBA and NHL playoffs.
