Good morning Tony. If the SEC goes to 16 teams, would they at least listen to clemPson if they start lobbying to join? I know we would try to block it and hope the SEC would listen to our arguements on why we don't want it. The taters are in a tailspin right now and I don't want to see them get that money or sell the SEC to recruits we compete against. Thoughts?

What are your thoughts on Shon Carson and where he may land in terms of this season's depth chart is concerned? I'm super excited to see him and how he's recovered. I really loved his potential contribution to the backfield and hope we''ll see him more than not this summer and throughout the season. Thanks in advance.

Tony,
I just saw someone post North Carolina's football schedule in 2014, which didnt include a game against us in Columbia. Do you know when, if ever, that UNC will honor their handshake and play the other end of the home and home we had planned prior to 2007?

Tony, in regards to the exciting new offer extended to Mason Cole, yesterday you mentioned that when we offer, we would immediately jump into his lead group (or something to that affect.) Does he have ties to our state, USC, or any info you could share here that has you feeling that way? He has an impressive early offer list, so he looks as if he's a name we should start following and keeping our fingers crossed for. TIA as always!

Carolina should STAND FIRM in NOT supporting clemsux for the SEC! Our greatest sustained success in all sports has happened since we joined the SEC in 1993; much more $$$ has enabled us to improved facilities, hire better coaches, & thus recruit better athletes. The result is enormous success on the field/court...do we want this for clemson? NO!!! Paul Dietzel (our football coach in late 1950s-1960s), has written that in discussions with clemson officials regarding leaving the ACC, clemson officials assured him that if we left, they would leave also...they lied! Over the years, when Dietzel's article is re-preinted, not one single person from clemson has challenged or refuted Dietzel's statement. clemson made their bed, let them lie in it!
