LA and I went on the road for Week 7. We went to Lodge (just past BFE) and stayed with Wesley, Karissa, Wes, Garrett and Paige. I didn't realize they had cable that far out in the country or indoor plumbing. However, I forgot the Wesley is a BIG DEAL. The hospitality was superb (like staying at at 5 star resort), Wyatt and Aubrey had a good time playing with everyone. Since Clemson won, we might be back when Clemson is on the road when they play Georgia Tech, NC State and SC (leave a key for us since you will be in Ohio). We were in Lodge for Wes' confirmation on Sunday. Congrats to him for becoming a full member of the Lodge UMC.
I am a little late with this but better late than never. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUZIE. Wyatt wants to give you some kisses.
Clemson Vs Maryland - Title Defense 4
"...It belongs to me until there's a man that can walk the isle and do something about it....weather you like it or not I am going to be the Champ for a long time..."
Our Life College Football Poll:
1. Clemson (Title Belt Holder)
2. Doesn't Matter
3. Irrelevant
4. Unimportant
5. Who Cares
6. Your Team
Breaking League Expansion News
Clemson has been in invited and accepted to join the PAC 12 (where defense is an option). I said it in an earlier post, our defense might not be able to stop you but we can out score you.
The Good
1. The Deuce (Is there any question?) 345 all purpose yards breaking CJ's record (oh, and by the way, we needed every yard and point he scored for us)
2. 2nd half Tajh
3. Ellington (good running skills to get extra yards running angles to get away from defenders)
4. Never quitting - pretty sure Tammy's CU teams would have folded up the tent and got on the bus
The Bad
1. Run Defense
2. Run Defense
3. Run Defense
4. 1st half Tajh (I am not sure who the heck he was throwing the ball to for much of the 1st half...except for the one he threw directly to the MD defender)
Summary
After the first series, where Clemson scored with ease against MD, I was not worried about the offense scoring points and being able to do it quickly. I was concerned with how quick we were scoring and the defense that was getting schooled being too tired. I told you every week since we won the title belt that you get everyone's best shot (just like the Nature Boy did). We have got to get the defensive side of the ball figured out. We can't be a contender until that is fixed. We made their quarterback look like Michael Vick. It was exciting....maybe a little too much. The road isn't any easier from here on out...UNC, GTech (on the road), Wake, NC State (on the road), SC (on the road).
Chicago - The Windy City
I was in Chicago Monday night, Tuesday and left at 6pm on Wednesday for Motorola meetings. Just where everyone wants to be in October (I know the weather gets worse...which I hope I never see). For some reason when I travel with my sales team and we check in at the hotel they get the premium room and I get the closet. I am the one paying for the rooms and get the crapiest room in the hotel. For example, last year our meetings were in Ft. Lauderdale and the hotel was beachfront. Their rooms were facing the oceans with big balconies and huge glass doors and I couldn't even smell the ocean from my closet sized room facing the beautiful convention center. This year, we had all requested a king bed. Jim got his room first - king bed. We were joking about me getting the closet and I told the gentlemen helping me "no worry, he is going to upgrade me to the presidential suite". He sure did double beds "just like you requested". I said "no, I requested a king". He checked the computer and told me I was out of luck - double beds or no room. Chris was next guess what kind of bed he had - king. It wasn't a big deal but it was funny. Chris insisted we switch rooms so we were rebels and changed rooms.
When we were leaving on Wednesday, the weather had turned pretty crappy (normal for them) - 20-30mph winds and rain. I was concerned that we were going to get to stay an extra day but we weren't delayed and got of town. I would have preferred having my buddy Travis flying the plane because to be honest, it was probably the worst weather I had ever taken off in (except for the 10 degree morning trying to leave Jackson Hole, WY and the weather was good but it was cold and we had to deice 3 times.).
Misc
