LAST CALL FOR BLOCK-C

Block-C is closing indefinitely…

Willy Mac

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been reading some of the archived posts while listening to a lot of  Sam Cooke and Bill Withers on pandora and getting all teary eyed about how far things have come since DFIG hit blogger five years ago. What a great and awesome experience this has been.

This was a mutual decision from Chili and I because frankly, we’ve just grown out of it I guess. At least that’s my true reason. Thank you to all of you guys for all the support, laughs, and fun times over the past few years. I’d definitely still like to communicate/meet/hang out with you guys. Block-C was a big part of my life that I really enjoyed and it helped me grow as a person. We built a great online community together and I’m really proud of all that we did. NO HOMO.

I’ve had a great time and you can continue to check me out at these social networks:

twitter.com/willstweets

facebook.com/willmccameron

Again, thank you guys so much for everything and I hope to catch you guys further on down the line.

Go Tigers.

- Will McCameron, Clemson University c/o 2008

Chili

Well, it’s no surprise that Block-C has slowed down a lot lately. I had always said I never wanted this to be a blog that just sort of trailed off and ended like it’s about to, but a lot of things have changed and Willy Mac and I just have too much shit on our plate (literally, we’re super into scatophagy). He’s got a wife and a life and all that sort of shit, and I’m in goddamned China. Also, the blog has always been sort of a point of contention between me and Willy Mac. Arguments, egotistical shit, bitching about the direction of the site, that sort of thing. Frankly we’re better friends without the blog, so there’s that. I have to give a huge thanks to all our readers who’ve been with us from the beginning, even Tom. We wouldn’t have kept this up for as long as we have without you.

I’d rather end this thing than continue to do it half-assed. If I had my druthers, I’d just post dick jokes, EKRs, Dab-O-Meters, and other bits on a site and not have to worry about running it or doing news posts or any of the Xs and Os shit I really don’t care about. Maybe I’ll find another site to put stuff on, who knows. Of course, it won’t be the same. We started DFIG in order to provide a perspective on Clemson football that wasn’t available on Tigernet, TI, or any of the extant Clemson blogs out there. I still feel like our unique take on things isn’t duplicated anywhere else in the Clemson blogosphere (if you’ll allow me to use the term blogosphere) and I can only hope that some young bucks will come along and carry the torch from here on out. We were always protective of our ability to produce whatever content we wanted, when we wanted. We turned down numerous offers from big blog conglomerates because we were always afraid of anyone telling us what to do or fucking with our shit. In short, we did it our way, for better or worse.

Oh, and I’m still the most underrated sports/dick joke Twitterer on the planet. Follow me and keep the DFIG dream alive: twitter.com/dannyfordisgod

    Damn that sucks, but I guess I understand. Thanks for all the laughs. I’ll still proudly wear my Block C shirt!

  2. 2DanNo Gravatar on Jul 14, 2011 at 10:21 pm:

    You guys rock, and I totally agree that nobody else is writing about Clemson quite like you guys did. Can some young bucks pick up this flag and carry it please?

  3. 3ThedabokoolaidNo Gravatar on Jul 14, 2011 at 10:38 pm:

    Thanks for all the good times guys. Gonna miss block-c for sure, I’ve hated having to read freaking tardnet. Hope we can keep it going in diff ways, shoot me an email if you ever feel like guest writting for knifedogisgod. Stay classy folks

  4. 4halfjaptigerNo Gravatar on Jul 14, 2011 at 11:42 pm:

    I am a useless tool who has never posted but… god damn – I will truly miss Block-C and all the laughs (and frequent insight) it gave me. Wish you the best, guys!

  5. 5BraapNo Gravatar on Jul 14, 2011 at 11:49 pm:

    Good run, guys. It was a good farewell post…written to the readers. I appreciated the classic slight at Tom, it brought me back.

    So what’s going to happen to the actual site now? Just let the domain registration run out and then one of those SEO/scam pages takes over, or will it still be up for archival purposes just no longer active?

  6. 6TakeezyNo Gravatar on Jul 15, 2011 at 12:49 am:

    I will never forget the best Clemson site. I relied all inside info and stats from this site. I’m never gonna be able to keep up with all things clemson from now on. I remember Willy Mac telling me to watch the banner just wave proundly for Gameday vs GT. Thanks

  7. 7ChiefNo Gravatar on Jul 15, 2011 at 3:08 am:

    Thanks for all you guys have done, all the laughs especially. I am still currently in Japan and I have followed you guys through Iraq and Afghanistan as this site always helped to ease the stress, it is appreciated.

  8. 8bishopNo Gravatar on Jul 15, 2011 at 3:08 am:

    Sorry to see the blog end. I live in southeast TN and it was great listening to CF talk that did not half to do with the Vols, the tide or the Dawgs. thanks for the good times

  9. 9robbie5539No Gravatar on Jul 15, 2011 at 4:06 am:

    Damn, sorry to see you guys go. I’ve been lurking here since the DFIG days. Always funny and always on point. Def gonna miss your particular brand of humor… and the dick jokes.

  10. 10AParkerNo Gravatar on Jul 15, 2011 at 6:38 am:

    Sucks. Really really sucks. Seriously. Going to need a minute to kinda catch myself. I promised myself I wasn’t going to cry…..Alright…I think I can handle it. Guys thanks for the getting me through college and in the beginning years of work. Oh, and keeping me sane on them international trips, I couldn’t post due to shitty interwebs conneciton, but it was good to read. Sad way to end, but hopefully you two will turn up somewhere with something. Best of luck, and don’t drop the mic at a karaoke bar, its bad form.

    Can someone repost the facebook link for block-c again? I think we should at least continue to meet there. I haven’t been on myface in about 6 months, but I guess to keep this going I would.

  11. 11BuckTNNo Gravatar on Jul 15, 2011 at 6:42 am:

    I’ve found in the last two weeks i have been more productive at work so, Eastman Chemical Company thanks you. I’m not as grateful

  12. 12Willy MacNo Gravatar on Jul 15, 2011 at 7:22 am:

    I can promise you that as long as I pay for hosting, which will be for a while, this site will stay here. I’ll still do some pruning and gardening. I’ll see what I can do about getting the forums up as all I did was move root folders.

  13. 13KetelonelogicNo Gravatar on Jul 15, 2011 at 7:59 am:

    Gentlemen – Thank you! Godspeed to both of you in life!

  19. 19DanielNo Gravatar on Jul 15, 2011 at 1:14 pm:

    Wait, wait, wait…hold on….Block-C can’t go without taking a great big ol’ swipe at this: http://www.tribblereese.com/

    This has to be one of the more ridiculous things I’ve ever seen.

  20. 20Tom MNo Gravatar on Jul 15, 2011 at 2:52 pm:

    @19 holy.fucking.shit!!!!! I was expecting that to be a joke website making fun of Tribble Reese…sort of like ManningFace.com. Nothing could have prepared me for that. That’s just…oh my god.

    I’m so sorry to see this site go..it’s been great to chat w everyone on here and hopefully we’ll continue everything over on Facebook/Google+/Knifedog/whatever.

    Any chance we can get a .gif of a tumbleweed on the front page?

  21. 21ThedabokoolaidNo Gravatar on Jul 15, 2011 at 3:03 pm:

    So question…where is Sambo during all of this? Where is the crewman number 4 of block-c?

  22. 22HammyNo Gravatar on Jul 15, 2011 at 4:22 pm:

    I guess we all know this was coming at some point…still sucks though. My lawyer suggests I file a suit for emotional distress. Thanks for the countless laughs.

  23. 23trueNo Gravatar on Jul 15, 2011 at 4:30 pm:

    Gentlemen, all I can say is thank you for all your hard work over the years. To say that this blog was a much-needed relief from the idiots eating cheetos and posting lunatic rantings from their parents’ basements over there on tnet is an understatement – this blog was consistently fantastic. And I really do appreciate that.

    Also to the community, y’all were often just as awesome in your comments. I hope you weren’t eating cheetos and posting from your parents’ basements, because wow I would really feel like a dick.

  24. 24AndrewTheTerribleNo Gravatar on Jul 15, 2011 at 4:56 pm:

    @19
    That was entirely unexpected, and incredibly funny. Dude looks like he is auditioning for reality tv or something.

    Farewell, Block-C. We hardly knew thee. Or maybe we did. Or didn’t. I don’t know

    as gay as this might sound, throw me any email addresses for some google+ invites, fellas. Google+ is what EKR would use (after he checked his Geocities webpage and updated his Friendster account!)
    ‘preciate everything you two douches have done here. Made this my homepage for a while and have avoided the shit out of Tigernet. Fuck yeah.

  27. 27mogritsNo Gravatar on Jul 15, 2011 at 11:28 pm:

    Well, that’s the trouble with Tribbles…don’t know when to quit.

    Unlike Block-C, who thinks they know when to quit but dammit, quit too early. You guys had help out here, but never asked. And yeah, what happened to the snot-nosed kid blogger Sambo? Always seemed sincere yet naive.

    knifedogisgod kinda takes the thing a little too far in my opinion, and makes it a site about a Block-C meme rather than about Clemson. I’m all for the Block C, Danny Ford, Frank Howard and his rock and all, and love the way y’all covered it, but I’m not going to invest much time in a site that covers how you covered it.

    @27 still a work in progress, we’re 100% open to ideas to improve it. Shoot me an email, would hate for you to write it off as just a “block-c tribute site.” its mainly just to have fun and try to give this particular group another stop on their daily web searching. Zinktb@yahoo.com. Goes for any of you, would love to hear thoughts. Daniel suggested forums, which is good and in the works. Mogrits doesn’t like the name, better ideas anyone?

  30. 30A770TigerNo Gravatar on Jul 16, 2011 at 9:36 am:

    @ Mogrits. Mo I’ve always liked your posts and respect your opinion, but why are you being a dick about the Knifedog site? Koolaid is trying to actually do something for our group and is being very open and flexible about everything on the site, to include the name, and you take a weak ass shot at the site. I get the feeling you’re focused on acquiring Block-C and keeping it going and that’s awesome, but take a step back and chill before you alienate some folks. @ Everyone. Until someone has something better, and probably even after that, I’m using Knifedog and will try to contribute even though I’m nowhere near the redneck poet that Chilli and WillyMac are. Block-C forever and GO TIGERS!!!!!!!

  35. 35MogritsNo Gravatar on Jul 16, 2011 at 2:38 pm:

    @29: I wasn’t attacking your efforts, just stating my opinion. Think longer term w/ the name. In a year knifedog may be replaced by glock-cat. If I think of something I’ll gladly send it along.

    @30: I just gave my opinion, I didnt take a shot. If you dont like reading varied viewpoints I suggest tnet or no internet for you at all.

    I know we had help but we’re stubborn. It was just time to move on. Theres not a thing you can do to convince me to come back short of hiring me full time to write here with complete control of my own content and paying me enough money to be comfortable. Thats not happening.

    Drink up, folks!

    Everyone, the combined minds of our League of Extrordinarily Drunk Gentlemen have finalized our new blog. We are pleased to welcome you all to “The Orange Kool Aid!” Whether a Block-C refugee or an avid fan that believes Tardnet is better posted but unread, there will be something here for you. We’re a no-holds barred Clemson site that believes in letting everyone speak their minds without being banned or attacked based solely on so-called inappropriate wording such as “damn” in a post. Along with the name change, we’d also like to introduce our staff. They are listed in no specific order of incompetence:
    TheDaboKoolAid: Long time Clemson fan with a short freaking attention span.
    A770Tiger: A former Clemson instructor and looooooonnnng time Clemson fan.
    JudgeJeffDavis: Trust him, he’s a doctor. Maybe.
    HoCoTiger: Giving us a young and often agitated insite into Clemson fandom.
    Now that you still know nothing about us, we’d like to move on to our final announcement. We now have a savvy new web address: http://www.theorangekoolaid.com. Share it with your loved ones, your enemies, and even that one guy in the office who doesn’t smell quite right, it doesn’t matter! We don’t give a damn because as long as your blood runs orange, you belong at The Orange Kool Aid! GO TIGERS!

  43. 43dwight_clark87No Gravatar on Jul 16, 2011 at 7:47 pm:

    I hate to see it all end, but it looks like Block-C’s spirit will live on! Take care, you fearless pilgrims! Eat a ground pork hamburger for me! Adios!

  44. 44MogritsNo Gravatar on Jul 16, 2011 at 10:00 pm:

    This site has helped me get through 2 years of living in shitty Missouri and listening to everyone here talk about the fucking cardinals and how Mizzou would have owned the Big 10. I guess I can go back to hating my life now.

    Thanks again and God Bless Danny Ford!

    This trackback/pingback thing that shows up as post number 50 or more correctly as the item under post number 49… if you click it, it links to a blog of sorts, that in turn only links to paysites. What’s up with that?

    Edit: Oh hell it moves- now it’s at the bottom of my post and my post is numbered 50. Make it stop, please.

  51. 51ThedabokoolaidNo Gravatar on Jul 18, 2011 at 10:19 pm:

    @49: If you don’t figure out how to stop your website from automatically playing japanese women singing in japanese upon pageload you’ll never get my click again. Google “myspace, death of” and you’ll learn why those antics are not cool.

    Big fan of the site, I’ve been reading block-c since the dannyfordisgod.com banner at Gameday forever and a day ago. I’ve kept reading because I live in Michigan now, and it’s hard to keep up with Clemson football when your 800 miles away. I’ve always enjoyed the high quality writing you guys have done here in the past. That being said, I’ve checked out sportaholics and the orangekoolaide, and no offense to the guys that put in hard work on those sites, but they blow. Hard. I can’t even stand to stare at the orange koolaid 1) for the gay name and 2) for the horrible background. Block-C was a gem, and I’m sad to see it go. Don’t leave me with these hacks!

    @Everyone, the invite is on-going for any participation, ideas, or comments on “The Orange Kool Aid.”

    @ 59. Richman. Rich, Guess I’ll start with a positive and thank you for the feedback in the email you sent in addition to your posting here. Before I address your specific issues I’d like to say that if you don’t like what we do and you’re gonna put us down at least offer some solutions. We’ve made it clear that we don’t possess Chilli and Willy-Mac’s creativity, but we’re game-on to try in order to give Block-C’s membership a place to still gather and have fun sounding off. That being said, I have a few points to make about your issues both here on Block-C and in your email.

    - The color purple (Our school color, not Oprah’s sorry-ass introduction to the world) isn’t necessarily my favorite, but it is one of our school colors, part of our history, and since we’re “Real Clemson Supporters” and we like it, we’re gonna keep it.
    - The background. My son took that photo at his very first Clemson game and did the photo-shopping when he was 15, so it means something to us and we’re gonna keep it.
    - The site’s name. We started with a generic name of “Knifedog is God” to get things started and asked for inputs. All you offered was “Get something with a ring” and something that pisses off shamecock nation.” Thanks for trying to get the wheels turning with the brainstorming session, but specific names would be more helpful and no one offered anything better, so we’re gonna keep it. FYI, you said to get something that would make people remember us, I’ll bet most folks will remember our name and what we’re about.
    - You said you’d look at changing a few more things. What things?
    - As for our site blowing hard, having a gay name, and us being hacks, you’re welcome to your opinion, because we’ve invited everyone to provide inputs and even join our team of writers and we’ve gotten far more positive than negative feedback. Some folks didn’t like Knifedog, we listened and changed it, so all inputs are welcome, even yours. No Homo.

    Finally, the site is a work in progress and my son set it up for everyone to have fun and try to keep the Block-C spirit alive. He’s proud of it and works hard to give everyone something to enjoy, and I’m proud of it and will do my best to help him keep it going. If no one else wants to participate or read what we write, well, at least we put the energy into trying and that’s more than most can say, to include you, so go fuck yourself…you were expecting that, so I obliged. I haven’t read Sportaholics, but I’m gonna check it out thanks to you. Also, I think Mogrits may be working on something, so keep your eye out for that. Oh, and thanks for ending your email with a positive by saying “Props for starting up a site though.” Enjoy Michigan my friend and GO TIGERS!

    @64: At the moment I’m not working on anything. I need to bookmark your site and see what happens. I’ve had some good offers of help to start something, but don’t know if I’m “all in” right now on building a new brand. Too many irons in the fire.

    I appreciate your candidness and willingness to accept suggestions. I cringed when I read @59′s comment in a “Whoah dude that’s harsh” way. I never intended to come off that way earlier and hope I didn’t. (No homo).

    All that being said… we needed Block-C today more than anything for witty commentary on the G.A. Mangus incident today. Tigernet’s official stance is “mum’s the word”, their forum posts about it are sophomoric (to be charitable). I’m sure Willy and Chili both ruminated on dozens of potential photoshops for the occasion but just couldn’t bring themselves to produce one. Anything, and I mean most anything those boys had posted would have hit edsbs and then eventually deadspin. Those kind of hits are good for Block-C and good for Clemson even if the recurring theme/meme at edsbs is “f*#k Clemson”.

    @65 I agree, losing Block-C right before USC’s QB coach is arrested for urinating in public and UNC firing Butch Davis makes the loss all that much worse.

    @61 I may have missed this somewhere in the comments but is there any chance of the forums coming back in some fashion? At least that way you two don’t have to make your own content.

    @66 and the powers that be… There are at least a half dozen other posters in this thread better qualified than I am, but if you were to reopen the forums I’ll volunteer to keep them within the t.o.s. of your host and to contribute when I can. I’ve enjoyed the live game threads in bkball and fball, and would really miss that these coming seasons.

    Get someone to watch ‘em I say, even if it has to be me.

    “Well, it’s no surprise that Block-C has slowed down a lot lately. I had always said I never wanted this to be a blog that just sort of trailed off and ended like it’s about to, but a lot of things have changed…”

    Yeah, like the fact that Clempsun can’t beat Carolina in anything but tennis lately. It’s funny how the legions of Tater sidewalk alumni seem to melt away when the school isn’t getting it done against the Gamecocks. Pretty sad, really.

    @71 Go Fuck Yourself.

    @72 You should always capitalize Go Fuck Yourself, it helps them coots quickly understand what is being written. Hooked On Phonic’s is there English department remember?

    @71 – Bro, we’re alumni alumni. You fucking dolt. Your argument is irrelevant and you blow goats for quarters. Damn. You fucked yourself right out of the gate.
