Jap and Clemson

Jasper Brinkley and all-SEC receiver Kenny McKinley confirmed their intentions to return to USC for their final seasons Thursday when reached by phone (so says The State). Neither is expected to participate much in spring practice while continuing to rehab following surgeries. But that is of little concern to a coaching staff that has seen four players leave early for the NFL since Steve Spurrier arrived before the 2005 season. Imagine if we still or did have those players on the team in 07 and going into 08? All those what if's.....But at least those two are coming back!

Well it is official - Clemson will open its 2008 football season in the Georgia Dome against Alabama, athletic director Terry Don Phillips announced today. The game will be played August 30, 2008 and will be the first Saturday evening prime time telecast on either ESPN or ABC. Click here for more info.

could you imagine in 07 if USC had Ko Simpson, Jason Joseph and Sidney Rice on the team as it was suppose to be but they decided to go pro?
