i will be measured in my words about Clemson... why? Why do they ( the students, the athletes, the FRAT!) continue to settle for mediocrity? WHy do they continue to talk a big game, but.. when its time to man up.. to be ALL IN... to be for OPP... to Strive For The Highest... why do they settle for... just good enough...no... Not JUST good enough... good enough to be mediocre. Good enough to always look good, but look good losing by two... look good doing just enough to say they do something, but dont STRIVE to be the best..... I will leave this post with a quote by Rocky, to his son... I think this pretty much sums up how I feel...

Rocky Balboa: You ain't gonna believe this, but you used to fit right here.
[taps on the inside of his hand]
Rocky Balboa: I'd hold you up to say to your mother, "this kid's gonna be the best kid in the world. This kid's gonna be somebody better than anybody I ever knew." And you grew up good and wonderful. It was great just watching you, every day was like a privilege. Then the time come for you to be your own man and take on the world, and you did. But somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you!
