Follow @Ryan_Kantor Three Reasons Clemson Will Beat FSU 1. Battle in the Trenches Continuing the tradition of great Clemson pass rushers like William “Refrigerator” Perry, Gaines Adams, and Da’Quan Bowers, Clemson is back to boasting a premier defensive line, headlined by DT Grady Jarrett and DE Vic Beasley. Clemson has 24 sacks on the season, second in the … Continue reading
Follow @Ryan_Kantor Halfway through the season, Clemson now sits undefeated and in national championship contention. Based on the original victory likelihood percentages laid out in the 2013 Clemson Football Season Preview, I favored Clemson in each game (including UGA, to which Vegas disagreed). However, rather than just picking favorites we slapped a little intellectual bonus in … Continue reading
Follow @Ryan_Kantor We’re at halftime of the college football season, and it’s amazing (and sad) how quickly it flies by! We wait eight months and then blink and it’s already at the midway point. In first half of the year, the ACC enjoyed some marquee wins with Clemson knocking of then #5 UGA and Miami … Continue reading
Follow @Ryan_Kantor Mark Rogers posts hundreds of college football discussions on his website and after an early season discussion about Clemson and NC State, he was nice enough to invite me back to join him for a brief 14 minute discussion leading up to Clemson’s home game against Boston College. We discussed Clemson’s ever-improving defense, … Continue reading

Now that the regular season is officially over, the Hot Stove season begins for two-thirds of the teams. With that, I, in concert with the … Continue reading
Follow @Ryan_Kantor Let me begin by jokingly calling out Robert Reinhard, Wake Forest SB Nation blogger, for his #GoACC Power Rankings that have FSU ranked above Clemson. This comes despite Clemson’s win over UGA, which now looks like a top five team, while FSU’s best wins include a 14-point comeback win against Boston College last week … Continue reading
Follow @Ryan_Kantor You may not remember, but in 2008, ESPN created the Helmet Clash, where they pitted some of college football’s best looking helmets against each other in tournament style polling. Florida State’s iconic gold helmet with the spear won out. Now, in “honor” of this week’s Thursday Night ACC matchup where Virginia Tech is … Continue reading
Follow @Ryan_Kantor If you’ve read my blog before, you may have seen my post entitled: Why Tim Tebow Haters Probably Kick Small Bunnies Too. I’m no Florida Gators or Jacksonville Jaguars fan, but I’m just at a loss to see why this obvious move–Tim Tebow to Jacksonville–hasn’t happened yet. After Tebow’s tenure in Denver came … Continue reading
Follow @Ryan_Kantor What is this monstrosity? What in the world are they doing up in Blacksburg? Two years ago I gave Maryland a hard time about their ugly helmets and uniforms, but who knew Virginia Tech would blow them out of the water. VT has been breaking out some hideous uniforms and eye sore helmets … Continue reading
