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.

A Glance at Clemson’s Chance in the 2013 Columbia Regional

A big thank you … Continue reading
ACC Baseball Tournaments Needs To Be Played Like a Real Tournament
With Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, and Louisville joining the ACC as full-members for baseball (and Maryland leaving), the best conference in the country will grow even bigger and stronger. The ACC currently plays a gimmicky round robin style tournament wherein only the top 8 teams in the conference make the event, forming two pools of four. … Continue reading
Brad Brownell Gives Harsh, Honest Interview
Clemson’s basketball season was obviously a huge disappointment. Finishing at 13-18 it was the Tigers’ worst season in nearly a decade. They hadn’t been below .500 since Oliver Purnell’s first season in 2003-04. Injuries, youth (only two upperclassmen), and a lack of leadership from the senior class were big reasons for the failure. Head Coach, … Continue reading

With March Madness right around the corner, and hearing it from UNC and Wake fans here in North Carolina it got me thinking, is March Madness really the best postseason in sports? It’s certainly better than the NBA’s postseason, few would dispute that, but what about Major League Baseball? What about the college bowl season? … Continue reading
How Do Some Universities Succeed in Their ‘Other’ Sports?
I have been very frustrated with Clemson basketball this season. When I was a student, sell-outs were assumed and we never missed the tournament. Now we can’t even fill Littlejohn for games against Georgia Tech. It’s mind-boggling, because even when our now glorious football program sunk to 6-7, butts were still in seats.

ESPNU Showcasing Softball Instead of National Signing Day? Clemson Manages Another Top 15 Recruiting Class
Wednesday, January 6th was college football’s National Signing Day. Practically a national holiday, signing day can be as exciting as Christmas morning for college football fans. After all it’s the day we find out who they will be watching for the next four years. So, as soon as morning struck I jumped onto ESPNU.com, but rather … Continue reading
In-Depth Inside Look At College Football Recruiting
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
Facelift For Clemson Basketball Could Be Bigger Than Previously Planned
If you haven’t already caught wind of the news, let me catch you up. It has been well-known that Clemson plans to keep pace with ever improving, ultra-competitive ACC by building a basketball-only practice facility across from Littlejohn Coliseum. An official rendering of what it may looks like is shown below. New practice facility for … Continue reading
Full Chick-fil-A Bowl HD Video – College Football Withdrawals Have Begun
It began faster than expected. I called IPTAY this morning for information on UGA tickets (Clemson opens 2013 at home against the Bulldogs) and found myself browsing TigerNet and Shakin the Southland over dinner. The college football withdrawals have surely begun. Luckily, I ran across this beautiful HD video of the Chick-fil-A Bowl posted on … Continue reading
