Don't we have fast food next to the library?<br /><br />Cassanova McKinzy spurned Clemson because he missed the Chick-Fil-A.<br /><br />"What's really important to a college football athlete when choosing the right school? Location, academics, the ability to start early?<br /><br />How about a school's proximity to Chick-fil-A?<br /><br />That's apparently what swayed Birmingham, Ala., linebacker Cassanova McKinzy from Clemson to Auburn. When McKinzy visited the Clemson campus, there was no Chick-fil-A in sight, and that just wasn't acceptable.<br /><br />"[It was] kind of the environment and plus they had no Chick-fil-A on campus," McKinzy said when asked why he didn't choose Clemson. You had to go like, probably like 15 minutes off campus to go to like a real restaurant. Their café was kind of small."<br /><br />Never mind that there is a Chick-fil-A on Clemson's campus. Clearly this crucial fact was not highlighted on McKinzy's visit. And if you've ever been to a Chick-fil-A, you can sympathize with McKinzy. There's no better way to start a morning than with a spicy chicken biscuit and no better way to settle into an evening of studying than with some waffle fries......................<br /><br />Of course, McKinzy goes on to say something about the Clemson facilities being too far away from the classes and dorms, but we know the perceived absence of Chick-fil-A was the real reason for him choosing Auburn."Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-1939590823797260412012-02-02T11:10:22.366-05:002012-02-02T11:10:22.366-05:00OH MY GOD!!!!

Just thinking ahead, I wonder if any of them might be converted to DT?<br /><br />If the S&C Coach Poidomani (who has been successful at BC in the past) can get these guys together - I think our OL will potentially be back to really pushing defenders around in a year or two.<br /><br />I don't want any negative spin today, accept maybe to question why we didn't get any RB's. But who knows - we might land a few over the next couple of weeks.<br /><br />Not to single anyone out over another, but if Malachi Moore develops like he certainly could, we're going to be pretty strong at DE. <br /><br />For you players from Florida - look at the two teams in the Super Bowl! Two cold-weather teams, which is often the case. Good luck with adapting to Boston weather - it can be done - you can be trendy, but always dress properly for the cold and you'll be fine. <br /><br />Go BC.Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-817163380652767502012-02-01T16:57:39.202-05:002012-02-01T16:57:39.202-05:00what happened with the strength and conditioning g...what happened with the strength and conditioning guys? i thought we got the PSU guy via spaz's connections... how did that fall through?<br /><br />i like the o-line help as well. we have enough tackles that i think both homer and cashman can redshirt, and then contribute from day 1 as redshirt freshman.<br /><br />we have an inordinate amount of linebackers...presumably a handful will redshirt.<br /><br />will BC have a fullback next season? tim joy played FB in HS and is listed at LB, i wonder if they play him at FB?EL MIZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042895353703675136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-23899384269313178882012-02-01T16:33:13.946-05:002012-02-01T16:33:13.946-05:00"Boston College: I am hearing that Mike Poido..."Boston College: I am hearing that Mike Poidomani has accepted the head strength job at Boston College."<br /><br />true it is on the BC web siteJosephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426170247468782374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-70476823047060673922012-02-01T16:33:01.973-05:002012-02-01T16:33:01.973-05:00I really like the OL recruits in this class.
