DAILY AFFIRMATION: DAY 23
The unstoppable advent of college football will mean pain for fifty percent of the people watching the game. And when that pain comes, some of us will be wearing jack-o-lanterns.

(HT to Paul, who dug up these photos of Clemson fans during the 2000 Georgia Tech/Clemson Halloween game. He’s also figured out exactly how UGA knew what Virginia Tech was going to run during last year’s Peach Bowl, too.)

Why are those kids shirtless? WTF is that shit? Prolly not wearing shoes either given that it’s Clemson.

Scary thought of the day:
Teammates are widely reported to be astonished as the footspeed of Humanity Advanced is better this fall than it was during the season last year; included among those impressed are some of the same folks who double up as members of Arkansas’ perennial NCAA Track Championship teams.

Any Fulmer Cupdates on the horizon?
I’ve been keeping an unofficial list of transgressions since the last update (7/31/07) in case the keepers of the list want a cheat sheet.

A prayer while celebrating a pagan holiday? No wonder God didn’t answer that shit. Also, God hates Clemson. How else do you explain Bowden doing just enough to not get fired?

#3 – At first, I thought you said “fulmer cupcakes”.
Surely there’s one or two… dozen… of those on the horizon as well. He needs some comfort food after losing his best RB.

I believe that was “First 3,000 children get clothed” night at Dearth Valley. Daddy’s truck done broke down ‘fore they could get thar.

Biggus–it’s football. We’ll pray on Satan’s birthday if we think it’ll give our team an edge.

Coop says:
Not our finest moment, for several reasons, in that picture, for certain.
Started out 8-0 only to lose to Tech at home, how did George Godsey turn out to be capable?!?!, then were destroyed by FSU on national TV, and escaped with a win over SCar. The season ended with a ho hum whooping by the dog fighter in his last game as a Hokie in Jax.
If you could find a couple of Gamecock black jorts photos, I would appreciate it.

Orson Swindle says:
I think, after 3675 posts, it’s safe to say that anyone who frequents this site requires “MORE” when it comes to college football.
He could have dyed his flesh orange. That would have been a start.

I prayed once Orson. And then Jasper Sanks fumbled and Florida pulled away. I decided then that God is dead.

#5 – Scalz1 – I think the fan sitting down on the ground in disappointment is sporting said overalls. Hard to tell with the jersey though. Coop is the definitive source for all things fashion that come in orange, so maybe he needs to provide an opinion to the court about it.
Lovin today’s affirmation, Orson!

And .. I went to the Champs bowl when Clemson was there. It was like staring at the sun for 5 days straight. My eyes felt like someone had taken a sandblaster and filled it with fire and sprayed directly into my corneas.
I will give the Clemson ladies a big thumbs up, though. Very nice !

Scalz, I think the only thing more damaging to the eyes than the all orange uni were the highligher yellow Oregon uniforms.

Yes Coop, your forthcoming “glass houses/kettle black” comment will be accurate.

PeterPumpkinhead says:
Actually, in 23 days (in most locations at least), about 90% of the people are going to be happy, and 10% are going to be about how they expected to be before the game, given that most BCS teams (and their bigger fan bases) are playing someone like Western Carolina (who’s mommas will only travel if it’s within 500 miles) the first week.

#15) That quote dates back to 1860 and is attributed to James Petigru, upon hearing of the Secession Convention and South Carolina’s break from the Union.
Just sayin’, that’s all.

# 21, adding a “t” to #20 I come up with an “orange unit” Which would definately stand out as a Clem(p)son fan of honor, or someone eating cheetos and watching porn.

I like how ga tech sux is accusing of someone of not going to college, all the while having a misspelled handle and rooting for Clemson.

I was the guy wearing the pineapple shirt. That was a bad day. I can’t believe it was 8 years ago.
