Fry named to Rimington watch list

Clemson center Dustin Fry must be one of the top offensive linemen in the country. Why? Well, he was recently named to the watch list for the 2006 Dave Rimington Trophy. Rimington, if you remember, was a Nebraska center who is widely considered to be one of the best to ever play that position in the college ranks. He was also the center when Clemson defeated Nebraska in the 1982 Orange Bowl, which gave the Tigers their national championship.

Now that you've finished laughing, just go read it.

Speaking of Gamecock fans, it seems that my little buddy the Cool Chicken has sold out. What gives?
