Hey guys,

I was cleaning some stuff up in the vbulletin program and I came across a fact that stunned me: We’ve got a lot of folks on here who just simply don’t post on the forums. They lurk and sometimes reply but rarely start their own topics. I’m not challenging or trying to call anyone out, it’s just I’m worried that the same people tend to start topics.

The forums have been pretty slow lately and I don’t know if thats due to the off season or what. I don’t want anyone to feel like now that I’ve said something that they need to start topics. I also don’t want anyone to feel like if they start a topic they’re going to get the beat down of their lives.

We eventually created the Block-C forums as it was our original idea that just found its way to the internet the form of the old Danny Ford Is God blogspot site. We wanted to give like-minded Clemson fans/alumni/students a message board that wasn’t like any of the others. A place where there wasn’t a hill watch or daily sermon or a pile of shit to dig through to find something the least bit useful or entertaining.

I think the problem might be in part due to us because we’ve been so controversial in years past with other people and bloggers. That’s ok. It’s just the internet: an outlet to let of some steam and frustration when a certain quivering lip, meddling coach, or sunkist/pompous/brickheaded hybrid of Cullen Harper and Kyle Parker is ruining your fall. Hell, we’re one of the few if only Clemson sites that not only allow you guys to call us on our shit without banning or total war. We welcome that. We realize that we do this to entertain you and if it ain’t working it needs fixing.

I guess what I’m trying to say is if you’ve never really posted or started topics all that much then give it some thought in the near future. We’ve got some great forums/sub-forums dying to have a few more staple posters. You find a funny video/article/whatever on the web? Share it man! Taste a beer or cigar, etc and want the world to know? Let’s hear it! Find an “Hot girls in Yoga Pants” site? Share a few pics. Let’s mix it up! I promise I’ll do myself to tweak the forums as much as possible to make them better for you guys as much as I can while still keeping the old school feel/look to it.

Cheers!

Willy Mac

OK, now that we have knocked out everything about last season and answered a couple of questions about next season, what is your Super-Duper Early Prediction for 2011?

Willy Mac: Lets be realistic about 2011. The Tigers need to get back on track next year as Dabo continues to build his own regime and shake off the Tommy Bowden shadow. 7-5 is completely doable and for all purposes should be expected next year. Nothing more and nothing less should be considered. Some games I’ve considered for definite losses next year are FSU, VT, probably GT as they’re hungry, and Sakerlina. In true Clemson fashion, we’ll probably get to the bowl game but flop with the practice/holiday lay over. Oh well, at least we’ve got six or seven months to fool ourselves into thinking that Clemson is better than they really are.

Sambo: W, W, W, L, L, W, W, W, L, W, W*, L and what does that spell?  8-4!  I put an * beside the NC State game because I would bet on Clemson winning if Russell Wilson is playing along side Kyle Parker in the Colorado Rockie farm system somewhere, but if Wilson is back, then mark me down for a 7-5 season.  Otherwise, I’m going to say Clemson beats an Auburn team that loses virtually every single player from their National Championship team (and their favorite toilet paper filled trees, too soon?), but then drops two straight to start the season 0-2 in ACC play, which sounds depressing when you think about it.  Otherwise, losses to GT and the Cocks wraps up a typical Clemson season, aka 8-4 overall and 5-3 in conference.  Sigh.

Chili: I think having the Auburn game directly follow two cupcakes could be a problem. I’m not sure the offense will be ready by then, but hell we looked better against the champs last year than we did against anyone else, so who knows how we’ll react. I’ll chalk Auburn up as a loss right now. I see the FSU game as an L, and possibly the UNC game though who knows what will happen with them and NCAA sanctions between now and then. Away games, I see us dropping VT and Sakerlina. #TRUTHBOMBS
