Cassanova McKinzy spurned Clemson because he missed the Chick-Fil-A
By Graham Watson
What's really important to a college football athlete when choosing the right school? Location, academics, the ability to start early?
How about a school's proximity to Chick-fil-A?
That's apparently what swayed Birmingham, Ala., linebacker Cassanova McKinzy from Clemson to Auburn. When McKinzy visited the Clemson campus, there was no Chick-fil-A in sight, and that just wasn't acceptable.
"[It was] kind of the environment and plus they had no Chick-fil-A on campus," McKinzy said when asked why he didn't choose Clemson (scroll ahead to the 1:30 mark in the video). "You had to go like, probably like 15 minutes off campus to go to like a real restaurant. Their café was kind of small."
Never mind that there is a Chick-fil-A on Clemson's campus. Clearly this crucial fact was not highlighted on McKinzy's visit. And if you've ever been to a Chick-fil-A, you can sympathize with McKinzy. There's no better way to start a morning than with a spicy chicken biscuit and no better way to settle into an evening of studying than with some waffle fries.
I had never tasted Chick-fil-A before attending college and I can honestly say it was one of the reasons why I stayed.
Of course, McKinzy goes on to say something about the Clemson facilities being too far away from the classes and dorms, but we know the perceived absence of Chick-fil-A was the real reason for him choosing Auburn.
Perhaps whoever McKinzy's hosts were at Clemson took him to the wrong part of campus.

Sense of humor.........................Cass has one.
-
Note to Auburn.
Get all major fast food restaurants moved on campus before the NCAA closes this loophole. Just think of the advantage we are getting over other schools. It's not right Pawllllllllll.

I'm guessing Cass has a sense of humor too, and it wasn't a big deal. He did apparently at least think about it though. Just goes to show that you never know what gets these kids interested, or is important to them.

BOOM CHAMPIONSHIP!

Dan Cathy is the bagman, PAAAAAAAAWWWWWWL

Ive been to Clemson a couple of times, and with all due respect to Clemson - it is NOT Auburn with a Lake. Not even close. And he is right about the distance between ciritical things.
-
I guess this means Clemson was not offering a vehicle in their recruiting efforts.

The money actually funneled through Dwarf House.

What makes this extra awesome is that the next game both of these teams will play is Auburn vs. Clemson in the Chick-Fil-A Classic.
It's like the joke wrote itself.
