I'm calling it now: barring injury Clemson makes it to the semifinals next year, at least

Year 3 with the OC and year 2 with OL coach, both really good coaches. Cade is back. A few portal transfers. New DC. Open the season at home v LSU. Win their a they roll to 11-1 or better regular season.
Atta boy. That’s level-headed analysis.
Opening day will be so much fun at my house. Loney, but fun.

Edit: can Brian Kelly survive losing opening day for the fifth year in a row?

Come watch with me. Leave the wife, unless you want me to antagonize her the entire time

I hope they aren’t as good as you think they’re gonna be, or Louisville is better than I think they’re gonna be. Because the only way we make it is winning the conference and conference championship game. Beating them this year, I’m sure they’re gonna have something for our ass next season. Luckily it’s a home game.

You pretty much healed up? That shit has made me change how we behave with them. Especially how I talk to my kids about it. Safety and what not. Scary shit.
Yeah as much as I'm going to. Face is good, scarring on my left hand and my knees/shins. Other scarring on arms and chest isn't really bad. Hand took most damage, but no loss of use or anything.
It gets scarier the more time passes, knowing how different it could have turned out. Definitely something I'll leave to the professionals going forward. Genuinely appreciate you asking

Absolutely. Definitely one of those things I won't forget so I can't imagine how you feel. Listen to your daughter. She's wise beyond her years.

I was kneeling over the explosion. If you slow it down you can see me jumping out of the way

Helicopter ride to burn center, 4 days there, 2nd and 3rd degree burns over ~20% of my body. Cadaver skin on both hands, both knees/shins, part of left arm and chest, and amniotic mask on my face and head. Had all that for 3 weeks. Burns inside nose and mouth, part of my hair burned off plus my eyebrows and eye lashes. No sun or heat for months.

Not being able to use either hand really sucks. And my vision sucks (-7.25, I think) so I couldn't see for a week until the mask loosened enough for my wife to put my contacts in for me.

Sounds like he would fit in perfectly with Kentucky or LSU.
Honestly shocked he and Jimbo didn't get along.

I've heard from a few plugged in people that Elko didn't even respond to him when he left Austin. Kid is a nut job.
