Call it on every play. We'll score 100.

I went to school with Ted and love him dearly as a Tech man. But he sucks as a coach and can't hold a coaching job anywhere. But he sells himself as well as anyone. So I''m happy for him but I have no idea what Clemson is thinking.

He must be living out of hotels or in a van down by the river. I can’t imagine his family moving every two years.
