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

Ranking The ACC Football Programs: The Decade Ahead
As a follow-up to my previous post arguing for the need to realign the ACC divisions, we will now look at which of those programs appear poised for the most success over the next five to 10 years. From one to 14, here’s how I see the ACC programs stacking up. I attempted to remove … Continue reading
Clemson Season Review: How Close Were My Pre-Season Predictions
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
Clemson Football Check-Up: 3-0 Headed Into ACC Game of Year vs FSU
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
A Winner for the ACC and Notre Dame: Irish Joining ACC as Non-Football Member
The University of Notre Dame has joined the ACC in all sports except football, where it feels like they’ve halfway joined.

If the three Clemson related blog posts this week didn’t give it away, I, like the rest of Tiger Nation, am very excited about the impending football season (that can happen when you’re a reigning champion). I asked former Clemson football recruiting assistant, Jon Tomevi, to share his expectations for Clemson’s upcoming football season, as I did … 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
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
