relate it to my own personal business. I assume you all know I am a Realtor. I have been one since I was 24 years old. Never ever had a real full time job. Anyway, since the first year after I got my license I have been a multi-million dollar producer every year. Anywhere from 3 million to 9 million per year. I am a one man shop...no assistants, team ,etc. Just Ole Spud. Anyway, I've survived Jimmy Carter, ( we were selling homes with 14% adjustable rates if you can believe that),Black Tuesday,9/11,2007-2009,and Covid. In 1990 when my son was born and had to undergo a proceedure known as ECMO, and he survived, Mrs. Spud had to abruptly quit her job as head of Micro and Easley Baptist Hospital and I had to somehow make an additional 40K that year....and did. So, I have been what I would call consistently successful. HOWEVER, even with my skills and willingness to work long hard hours..I HAVE AND STILL DO.....RUN INTO SLUMPS. I mean...slumps of 60 to sometimes 180 days where no matter what I do, how I do it, or how hard I work..I can't get a deal CLOSED to save my life. Bo Mattheny, an old Realtor friend, used to say,"The hardest one to close IS THE ONE YOU HAVE TO CLOSE!"...But, you keep getting after it and then all of a sudden, things turn and you get some easy ones and things start going your way again....

That is how I see our team right now. We had a 6 year roll with dang near everything going our way...No injuries to speak of....Missed field goal by NC STATE...goal line stands against Louisville and ND...scoop and scores stopped by the most famous walk on in Clemson history...a pick six to set the tone in San Francisco.....ANd now...we are in that slump that all of us go through at times...Maybe you are a mechanic that has had 3 people in a row return to your shop with a transmission that you just rebuilt...maybe you are a top builder and now you've had three or four people call with water in their crawl space...or a straight "A" student and Calculus is now kicking your behind...But you all will overcome...That's where we are fellas...

That Duke game..they get a fumble on the one and run it back almost to our endzone..Makuba gets a fumble and is off to the races unopposed and trips up before he can get started...Last week they get a scoop and score, but in the first half, Mickens I think, drops an interception that would have been a pick six....Still....we are getting better in my opinion. THE WORM IS GONNA TURN!!!

Go Tigers!
