I wrote a version of this the day Marcus Lattimore signed. You got him, South Carolina, so use him.
At the time, it was as a suggestion to Steve Spurrier to emphasize the running game, now that he finally had the power to. Lattimore was a blue-chip, program-changing recruit and he could flip the script with his ability to tote the football, but he had to have a game plan created for him and offensive line coached to run the best schemes for him (zone-read) so he could do it.
I was there on Feb. 14, 2011. Being from Rock Hill, I was pretty confident that Jadeveon Clowney was going to pick South Carolina. But one never knows until the cap is on the head, and even then, it isn’t certain until the letter is faxed to the school. (I followed South Pointe High’s athletic director to his office so I could watch that letter go through)
I bring it up because tomorrow is Decision Day for Nyckoles Harbor, a program-changer who has South Carolina on his short list – and if you believe the “Crystal Balls” that are being logged in his favor by the recruit-niks, he’s coming.
There will be no Gamecock in the Super Bowl this year.
I’m not predicting or promising, and since y’all watch the same team I do (some would say we’re sentenced to watching it), I wouldn’t advise to even hope for this.
But it always helps to have a goal, and if South Carolina can meet this goal, at least the chance to make a Cinderella run improves an iota or two.

To be clear, it isn't really "our" CAB.The main purpose of the Clemson Athletics Branding institute (which you could actually pronounce "Cabby," if they left the "I" in the acronym) is to help athletes at Clemson maximize their name, image, and likeness (NIL) opportunities. Dabo Swinney likes the "cab" analogy because the university is providing athletes a "lift" to their NIL potential -- but they have to put in the work, or the cab fare, to get there.
If you're a fan of a college football team, your first glance at a season's schedule probably consists of two thoughts:
- Oh, man, easy wins right there!
- Oh, crap, this scares the hell out of me.
Clemson basketball allayed some worries when it posted a rare injury update before the Florida State game: "Chase Hunter will play basketball today."
Hunter's return from a foot injury seemed like a big deal in itself, especially with Brevin Galloway joining backcourt mate Alex Hemenway on the sideline. But even the words "big deal" sound like an understatement in retrospect.
I get it. The numbers don't make sense. How could Clemson men's basketball be atop the ACC standings and be the seventh-best team in the NET rankings (No. 56), behind Virginia (15), UNC (31), Duke (32), Miami (37), N.C. State (43), and Virginia Tech (54)?
