In a previous post, I broke down Clemson’s regular season schedule and discussed the challenge each opponent could present the Tigers. The season starts with a bang as Clemson an ACC team – Georgia Tech – on a Thursday, then faces Texas A&M in Week 2, and then takes a road trip to Upstate New … Continue reading
Baby steps people, baby steps. As I mentioned in a previous post, I believe NCAA football has a serious problem with steroid and drug use. One cause for this problem is the lack of standardized testing and discipline. Allowing individual teams to determine punishment for their own players who fail drug tests is like allowing … Continue reading
This recruiting season has been packed with even more craziness than usual, and Clemson has experienced more than their fair share of the ups and downs it entails. The nation’s #1 recruit, Robert Nkemdiche of Loganville, GA, originally committed to Clemson, only to decommit and indicate Ole Miss as his new leader. Now LSU joins … Continue reading
Next season marks the final year of the BCS as we know it. In 2014, the National Championship will be determined by a four-team playoff. I’m not staunchly opposed to the move to a playoff, but it will surely make some of the games (see Orange Bowl potentially getting SEC #3) less special and packed … Continue reading
Just after my post reminiscing of the days of yesteryear, when I had a co-blogger, it appears as though I may have a regular contributor now. As promised, our SEC expert, Big Fudge, is back with his look at the “Decade Ahead” in the SEC. Enjoy the read, and please notice just how low those pesky, vile, appalling despicable, … Continue reading
After releasing my “Decade Ahead” rankings for the ACC, a friend reconnected with me and asked if he could do the same for the . He took a decidedly shorter-term view, looking only to next season, rather than the long 5-10 year window I attempted to write towards. Don’t worry, he promises the decade outlook is on … Continue reading
The college football regular has ended for most conferences, and now is a time to review, reflect, and for those involved rest, and then quickly refocus. At the start of the season both myself and a guest blogger made predictions, one of us was close and the other spot on. We’ll take a look at … Continue reading
Before the season started, a guest blogger and I wrote Clemson football season previews. With the first quarter of the year now complete, it is time to review, and then examine what lies ahead. Clemson began their journey to a 3-0 start with a telling win in Atlanta, versus Auburn. Against the SEC West foe, we learned that … Continue reading
I’ve come a long way from my days of hating the old red and black. After my time as a Clemson undergraduate, I spent a year in Athens while earning my Masters of Marketing Research. UGA did a lot for me and the relationships I build with fellow students and professors will last a lifetime. … Continue reading
While it’s not official just yet, it sounds like a four-team, college football playoff is on the horizon for 2014. Last December I wrote a blog post with my solution to the BCS problem. I suggested that the championship game could be determined after bowl season, making the bowl schedule a de facto playoff system … Continue reading
