So ... It's come to this. A Blackout by Wake Forest (long)


Sep 20, 2022, 4:13 PM

I'll preface this missive with a brief disclaimer. A few things have changed since last we met.

I'm old.

I've got a cancer that's left me deaf as a post, six inches shorter, unable to walk a straight line and will kill me sooner than I'd like. Some of y'all know that, but it's neither here nor there.

Long story short, I'll be ###### if I live to see the Sons of Clemson mocked by Wake Forest. We have come too far, worked too hard, bled far too much to fear a packet of parading pint-sized Mr. Peanuts on their tricked-out bike.

Not now. Not ever.

The original Gee-Haw'd was called against Wake waaay back in 2006. My fellow Silverbacks remember it as a time of despair and disarray, an era when the Spirit of the Sons of Clemson grew weary of those who belittled all we stood for.

It was an angry spirit, finally roused to action by the taunts of ... do you remember?

I do. Wake Forest.

The blind fury of Gee-Haw'd rose to redeem Clemson from the mockery of Deacons. Still, it took the divine spirit rising in the heroics of the much-much missed Gaines Adams to save that day.

Since then, we've seen far more ups than downs. And if it takes the summoning of Gee-Haw'd to again remind us of the true power of Clemson ... then so be it.

Steel yourselves for the grim task ahead. Gee-Haw'd requires the full heart and throat of every Son of Clemson. There is no stopping, no respite, no heeding the pleas of foes begging for mercy. Steel yourselves for the grim task ahead. Be prepared to ignore the lamentations of the Deacs as their bones -- and their hopes -- are ground into fertilizer for next year's harvest.

It is not easy. And it certainly is not pretty. But if you are ready. If you are willing.

If. You. Are. Clemson.

The result is glorious.

By their own impertinence, their doom is sealed. Let no Deac escape, salt the soil of Truist Field and let the rest of the football world fear.

GEE-HAW'D!
