THE game

The above is perhaps the greatest sports story I've ever read.


Highly recommended read!!


I wouldn't want to be some team from S. Carolina, traveling to New Orleans to play the #1 Louisiana 'LSU Tigers, w/ Coach O and Heisman Trophy QB Joe 'Burreaux' in their most holy den.


But then again, Clemson's going in as an underdog and that's been the story of Clemson Coach Dabo Swinney's life,if ever there was such a story.


Oughta be a helluva game--it's nice to see an inspiring back story, rather than the tabloid trash that all too often accompanies our 'heroes'---any person who's had their life hit the skids at one time or another should read this.

I'm pulling for the Orange guys too. Not a betting man, but have say that given the odds, you're a brave man. Even if there's increasing sentiment that Clemson's again being underestimated--even on paper they arguably look slightly better than LSU.

As good as LSU QB Burrows is, if you had to computer design "the perfect QB"-- the simulation would prolly look a lot like agile, 6.6' 220 pound  Trevor Lawrence .

After the 1st half it was a bust. LSU had me in bed b4 the game ended. As fine a player as Clemson's QB Lawrence is, yesterday LSU's Burrow showed why he's the top pick.


Hope he likes Ohio weather. Actually he's from one of the poorest parts of South Ohio, where they speak with southern accents, so nothing new there. He's talked about the kids back home coming home from school hungry with little or nothing to eat, how he'd like to win for them too.
As jocks go, I've heard worse.
