Clemson Stands Tall, I Stand Corrected
Six straight losses in Atlanta, the shame of the Orange Bowl blowout, the Sammy Watkins suspension, the issues with the young Clemson offensive line, Clemson’s weird, historical struggles in even-numbered years… There were a lot of reasons not to expect us to win, but 320 rushing yards later all that pessimism is replaced with pie in … Continue reading

Appreciating The Evolution of Incubus – Concert Countdown
It’s despicable, it’s wrong, and it’s gutless… that I haven’t seen either of my favorite bands live in concert.

‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Offers A Gripping Story, Gutsy Action, and Rich Social Commentary
Before I begin, I would like to send my thoughts and prayers to victims of the tragic movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado.
