like with Furman and #2 Clemson reminds us of how the top-tier of teams stays at the top.

And two consequential games Sunday and Monday!

He'd play anybody anywhere any time and word got around that his players got to see some action and it eventually led to great recruiting and years of tremendous achievement.

Hoping we can get back to that with the new guy lol.
