[LIKE!] Huzzah!! GO NATS! Now to add one more veteran, innings-eating starter to a one-year deal (paging Livan Hernandez and John Smoltz. Livo and Smoltzie to the white courtesy phone, please), and a defense-first MI (preferably @ SS), and the off-season PLAN will be complete. Another bullpen upgrade, or blockbuster team-altering trade also not out of the realm of imagination! agreed. concur. [LIKE!] Huzzah!! GO NATS!

Clemson is not private, and it's student body is much larger than BC. (BC has about 8k undergrads). The non-anecdotal example would be the establishment of a trophy for the BC-Clemson rivalry. And there are too many much older alumni who feel this way to attribute it to "friendly" co-eds. It's just an odd development as best I can tell. The BC-Clemson bowl game back in the 1940s in which Clemson upset heavily favored BC was a big deal in the day. Now I wouldn't say it'a holdover from 50+ years ago, but it just seems the BC fans were welcomed to the ACC when they visited Clemson, and the Clemson fans seem to really get into Boston. I haven't yet been to Clemson, but the degree to which the fans are into visiting each others schools has been remarkable. You lost me there.

CU is the only ACC school in SC, and the Tigers aren't a natural rival with GA Tech, their nearest neighbor. I think all other ACC schools have a big-time rival already in the Conference - new BigEasties Miami and VahTech have FSU and UVA, respectively, so perhaps they were a somewhat (un?)natural match. Also, they're both wealthy/preppie (by rep), fairly large (ugrad enrollments ~15K) private schools (Miami, Wake and Duke being the other non-staties in the conference), so maybe there is some other esoteric fit there among their fanbases. as far as the "Clemson people are the warmest in the ACC," your BC brethren are probably referring to the - ahem - hospitality of the co-ed population down in Greenville. outside of maybe FSU, Clemson ladies are widely considered the hottest in the ACC. ;-) interesting about the BC-Clemson angle. would be interested to see if there’s any press on that, or something more than anecdotal. perhaps there’s some sort of “outsiders” party going on there – Clemson wasn’t an original ACC member either, IIRC.

The Clemson fans love to fly up to Boston, and BC fans say that Clemson people are the warmest in the ACC. I think that might also have helped.

]]> Comment on NFL to Borg – No Thanks by TheBorg http://www.snakesinmypants.com/2009/11/13/nfl-to-borg-no-thanks/comment-page-1/#comment-20795 TheBorg Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:14:06 +0000 http://www.snakesinmypants.com/?p=1802#comment-20795 while I'm disappointed that we won't be seeing more Celek-like, Captain-esque posing, i completely agree with the NFL on this one. NFL rules state that a company can't pay a player to somehow promote it's product on the field. That's a good rule. If they opened the door here, even to a charity, it could/would get SO out of hand, that we'd have ads and poses and for-profit acts going on all over the place. note the poster-boards that tennis players have turned into. it's ugly, distracting, distasteful. don't think we'd see Ochocinco doing entire routines for Fathead? NFLers tatted-up with their favorite shoe logo by Week 11? you could bet MY life on it! i love me a good ol' fashioned Chad "Johnson" Ochocinco endzone dance, but let's leave the product placement out of it. :-) while I’m disappointed that we won’t be seeing more Celek-like, Captain-esque posing, i completely agree with the NFL on this one.
