South Carolina’s defensive front is more oppressive than the communist party. Clemson OC, Chad Morris, said “It’s definitely the fastest defense we’ve seen this year.” Clemson’s offense has committed 11 turnovers in their last three games, two of them losses. Why would anyone expect them to perform well against this solid Gamecock defense? Well, let’s … Continue reading

What The ACC Championship Would Mean For Clemson
Do you realize how long it’s been since the most passionate fan base in the ACC has been rewarded with a conference championship? Here’s a clue, half the students there now weren’t even alive the last time they won the conference! Clemson last won the ACC in 1991, well before there was a championship game. … Continue reading
Clemson Has Three Olympic Sized Hurdles Left
While sitting in Great Clips today, I read an article about FSU and the rest of the ACC becoming woefully irrelevant after Oklahoma beat Florida State in Doak Campbell. Of course, the writer didn’t have the benefit of watching the next five weeks of football before writing the article, as I did before reading it, … Continue reading
Believing in Clemson Football
This may end up being a nonsensical celebratory Clemson football post, but that’s ok because my alma mater, Clemson University, just beat three straight ranked opponents including an almost unrealistic 20-point beat down of ACC-power Virginia Tech in Lane Stadium! When the new polls come out in a few hours I expect Clemson to move to … Continue reading

I had already read the book and wrote one blog post about the book and another about the theory and style of play as a guest blogger on LenNY’s Yankees. Here are my thoughts … Continue reading

Just Let Me Stop Caring
Clemson hasn’t won a championship since I was two years old. I finished my last semester of class at Clemson and got an awesome internship at Definition 6, a unified marketing agency in Atlanta. So after Clemson’s 6-7 season and after watching them lose to South Carolina and South Florida to close the season, how … Continue reading
Venting On Clemson
Clemson Athletic Director Terry Don Phillips’s emotional, passionate, cool, trendy, thoughtless, easy, and wrong hire of Dabo Swinney is looking worse and worse as Dabo once again led Clemson into a road environment and left winless. Alumni Stadium in Boston was quiet and half empty just like Clemson’s offense. Props to Kevin Steele though whose … Continue reading
Clemson…Where nobody gets fired: Follow-up
After a weekend of Clemson athletics we learned that maybe the soccer team is coming around and maybe the football team won’t. Where Credit’s Deserved First year men’s soccer coach Mike Noonan coached Clemson to a draw with #11 Boston College. It felt like a loss because Clemson scored early and BC scored the equalizer somewhat … Continue reading
