The Big Dance Sports clichés get to be clichés for a reason. Most of them hold true because they stand the test of time. So let’s examine a few clichés concerning Clemson’s chances in the NCAA tournament: Guard Play Is Paramount The Tigers may want...

Thoughts on a St. Patrick’s Day I was sitting at the computer this morning with a few thoughts that I wanted to share concerning Clemson athletics. *I understand Oliver Purnell has never won an NCAA tournament game but that is not a huge deal for me. I...

Between the Lines and Ears I have been to most of the Clemson baseball games this year and there is a big difference in this group compared to this time last year. There are several differences physically but perhaps the biggest difference appears to be in...

Weekend Review The traffic around campus this morning is almost non-existent as the students are away for spring break this week but it was a great weekend for the Tigers with good news in basketball, baseball, women’s track and men’s tennis. The...

Here are all the position analyses we completed this offseason, and each includes an estimated depth-chart. We chose not to do one for Tight Ends specifically because their overwhelming improvement statistically is pretty obvious, and since we have such a...

We Belong I wrote a blog last year about how painful it was to be a Clemson fan at the ACC tournament for many years. I said there were many years where we just did not feel like we belonged in Greensboro, Landover or wherever the tournaments were. I said...

Spring Practice Impressions I had a chance to get out to football practice for about an hour and 45 minutes Monday and wanted to share some observations. Yesterday we took a look at the offense, so today we will look at the defense. DaQuan Bowers had a...

"I’m real excited about getting onto the field and starting with this 2010 team," he said. "We’ve answered a lot of questions this year. We’re at a different point with this team. We’ve been through the fire. It’s not new. We know...

Wake Forest Review I know not everyone will agree with this point and I am not saying that I am right about feeling this way, but I had chalked last night up as a loss before Clemson even boarded the plane to get go to Winston-Salem. The team did not and...

Oh What a Night! Of all of the things Oliver Purnell does well perhaps the thing he does best is Senior Night. Under Purnell, Senior Night begins with a tearful ceremony where he loses his emotions in saying goodbye to the seniors. He even breaks out...

l Senior Night I can’t believe it is here already but tonight we celebrate another senior night. Clemson will try to win its sixth straight senior night games. Clemson is 5-1 on senior night under Oliver Purnell and it has been Purnell who has made the...

Another Thing of Beauty Earlier this year when Clemson beat Maryland in Littlejohn I called it the prettiest ugly win of the year. You can move that one over one spot on the mantle. Sunday’s 53-50 win in Tallahassee was as ugly as it gets until you...

Maryland Review What a difference 25 days make. On the last day of January Clemson beat Maryland in Littlejohn. It was an ugly game that saw Clemson win 62-53. The Tigers shot just 31% that night which was the lowest shooting percentage in a Clemson...

Win and In? Clemson enters tonight’s game at Maryland with a 19-7 record and a 7-5 conference mark. The Tigers are an underdog tonight as Maryland is 13-1 at home this season and undefeated at the Comcast Center in ACC play this year. But tonight is...

Another Lost Legend On the court and field Clemson’s teams had a nice weekend by beating teams that the Tigers simply outmanned. Off of the field and court, it was a tough weekend. We lost another great one. In terms of ACC championships, we lost the best...

A couple weeks ago, after a very disappointing loss to Virginia Tech, many people started to give up on our chances. I personally thought 7-9 was a likely finish to the ACC slate. Our half court sets were abysmal during our slide since the UNC game and...
