A November to Remember Back in the glory days of Clemson football, the Tigers were dominant in the month of November and it was that dominance that helped the Tigers to several ACC championships. From 1978 to 1991 Clemson won seven ACC titles. The...

Coastal Carolina Review Often times when a team plays an inferior opponent from an FCS (Division I-AA) I have fans call my show or I read that team’s message board and some fans despise these games. A few years ago I decided that I was going to enjoy...

-bleh, wasnt a pretty game, certainly not as good as I expected to see. If this had been an ACC game, with this lack of emotion and concentration, we'd have lost today. Offense was not crisp, at least until the 3rd, it was just that CCU is...

Believe it or not the Clemson Tigers traveled to South Florida and pulled off a major win for the program, defeating the #8 Miami Hurricanes 40-37. The Tigers have won against the Hurricanes in back to back road trips to Florida, which should bring a welcomed...

Spiller-The Candidate In the pre-season I wrote a blog exploring C.J. Spiller’s Heisman candidacy. I had concluded that it would be extremely difficult for Clemson’s star to get a shot at the trophy. My thoughts then were not based on any negative aspect...

Landmark at Land Shark For weeks Dabo has said this team has to learn how to win. He said it after the Tigers could not the close one against Georgia Tech. He said it again after the close loss to TCU and again with the loss at College Park. I never...

Miami Review There are a few times so far in Dabo’s young head coaching career that I will never forget and I had another one early Sunday morning. With several hundred Clemson fans gathered outside the West Zone around 12:45 AM four team busses finally...

Here are some video highlights from the Clemson Tigers' 40 - 37 OT win over the Miami Hurricanes. CJ Spiller is the man! It's really unfortunate he's not getting the attention he deserves nationally. If the Heisman gurus want to change the award so that...

The sulking is over and the Tigers (2-2 in ACC play) are back on track in the Atlantic Division of the ACC. They own their own destiny because MD (1-2 in ACC play) will lose at least 1 more ACC game if not all 5 remaining ACC games. Clemson has to continue...

Ryan Update No matter where I go or who I meet, the one question I get more often than any other is, “How is Ryan?” I had a nice grandmother tell me the other day that she was mad at me. She said I had not given any updates on Ryan lately and I should...

Sorry it took me so long to get these up, I wanted to get them in higher quality (HD) so that took a little longer to process and upload, but hopefully worth the wait. Glad to see the team play as well as they coming off the bye week. Click on the video...

Breaking Serve In championship tennis, the player who breaks the opponent’s serve has a big advantage because often it is a fairly difficult thing to do. In the Atlantic Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference, football may resemble tennis with the...

Wake Forest Review Saturday’s 38-3 win over Wake Forest was perhaps the most complete performance since the last time the Tigers beat the Deacons 44-10 in 2007. I thought the offense, defense and special teams all played as well as they have all season. ...

The bread and butter run play of the Spence, as well as most one-back, system is the zone rushing play. There are several to pick from but here we'll describe a brief introduction to zone blocking itself, then the specific play. Why do teams run a zone...

Not much to complain about without looking at the film of this one. FF is doing a game review post and I'll add my thoughts to it. -Very balanced offense today, looked like they tried to simplify things. Good changeup with the amount of playaction passes...

OK, it's been a long 2 weeks of sulking. Turtle hunting went about as well as frog gigging. Now it's time to get over it and hope for better things to come. Hey, it can't get much worse can it? Actually it can. A loss to Wake Forest will just about...
