Because dancing guy and Daddy dancing to Zombie Nation isn’t enough, here is Block-C’s very own Willy Mac doing a jump on a mini-bike.

Willy Mac From Block-C.com and I are having a Q & A today… thanks to Willy… you can find the other half of the story at Block.com now.

1. Dabo Swinney. Is he worth keeping around? I’ve heard a lot of the good he’s done in a short time, even if he isn’t perfect on the field this season.  Does he get a shot to stick around? Does he even deserve one? Or is he a bit early for his shot? What rumors might have some truth to them for a permanent replacement for the Tigers?

Dabo is certainly a good coach and seemingly a good fit for our program but there is a laundry list of fallbacks that might keep him from winning the job.  He doesn’t have the regular résumé that most coaches applying for an HC job have, but what he’s done so far on and off the field is making people in the Clemson community happier than they’ve been in a while.  He seems to be the administrations first choice for right now and he’s definitely Terry Don Phillips’s (Athletic Director) number one guy.  If he finishes half and half or with a bowl bid/win he should have enough of a push to win the job.  Names like Bobby Johnson, Lane Kiflin, Bill Cowher and Tommy Tuberville have been passed around but appear to be largely fan based rumors.  The top name on the list is Will Muschamp but with Tennessee and possibly Auburn seeking new coaches at the end of the year, the “Big Orange Arms Race” is inevitable.  This also makes Dabo an easier replacement as well, given that it’d be an in house move, a good replacement, and he does have that likeness-in-situation to Danny Ford that could quell even the hayseed homers that have been calling for a Ford rehire for years.

2. WTF, We were all teased with Willy Korn and then the extreme one gets hurt in his first game? Are we going to see some Korn action, or is it all “Beautiful Swan” on Saturday?

Korn did get hurt (deep bone bruise in his shoulder) against Georgia Tech.  It seemed that he was ready to go before last week’s game but the coaching staff thought otherwise, leaving in Cullen Harper even after he threw a bunch of terrible passes, including three pivotal interceptions.  The coaches have listed him as probable for this week but it might be another Belichick-esque move by publicly reporting that.  It’s probably going to be a game time decision, but why not make the opponent plan for both all week?

3. After watching GT tear up the FSU defense, can Seminole fans expect the Clemson offense to attack with their talented (but apparently underulolsed) running backs?

Talented? Yes. Underulolsed? I have no idea what that means, but if you gave them a bit of time I’m sure they could be “underulolsed” as well with some practice. If we didn’t attack you with a primarily run oriented defense  we’d be playing to lose.  That was a largely unnoticed but highly important piece of our game plan last week against Boston College: We didn’t give up on the run throughout the entirety of the game. We’re kind of in the same boat as you are because we also have a young line but the difference is your guys have learned to block well for your runningbacks, our guys are still trying to find the right equation.  Another key to the game would be passing to our runningbacks.  Not necessarily screen passes like in years past, but short passes out of the backfield that helped CJ Spiller have a huge game last week.

4. Which 1 guy is going to make a difference on Saturday for the Clemson defense? How? Big plays? Consistency? Luck?

We’d like to say CJ Spiller because of his performance and leadership he’s shown, but last week was the first we’ve seen in terms of a game changing performance out of him this year.  It’d probably be a toss up between him and Thomas Austin, former center turned guard that has had impressive showings all year long.  It’d be huge for him to take the reins of this young offensive line and pave the way for us.  We’ve been lacking a mean sumbitch like him since we lost Roman Fry and Nathan Bennett.

5. When is Brandon Speweik gonna see some action, I hear he’s doing a Drew Weatherford imitation currently.

As far as we know, Speweik is decent for a scout team quarterback, no more, no less. Count on him seeing the field in… Uh… Never.  The real imitator is homegrown Michael Wade who played quarterback in high school, switched to safety and special teams at Clemson, then switched back to quarterback before spring ball.  Some Clemson folks were wonder last week, ” If Korn is really hurt, and Cullen keeps throwing gimme interceptions, why not give Wade a series?” Hopefully, he gets some mop up time at some point this season, for his sake as a reward for sticking this thing through.

So the little guy is pretty cool… but what’s up with Daddy? Zombie… Zombie… Zombie naaaation…

For not ranking Wake Forest in this week’s blogpoll. In fact, Zach called me an idiot.

To that I say… NAVY.

To that I say a 2 point win over Jeckyll and Hyde Ole Miss.

Matt DiLallo, Colorado Punter, likes to cook!

Among the highlights…

“I’ve tried a bunch of different recipes (this semester),” DiLallo said. “Some recipes for marinating salmon. I made some lettuce wraps that were pretty good. …”

“People tell me I make the best banana bread they’ve ever tasted,” DiLallo boasted this week.

I think the thin air is getting to him.

FSU’s recipe for Saturday? PAIN. (I hope… really really really.)

I’m not saying that Tomahawk Nation has issues… but their Rod Stewart YouTube from yesterday should “have high heels and a purse with it” (thanks Chili).

For some real FSU Inspiration… we need the KING.

Three Haikus for your Tuesday. Enjoy.

Christian Ponder. How

you make us wonder, why not

Drew? Another pick!
