When he’s not receiving traffic tickets, Clemson University head football coach Dabo “Dat Boy” Swinney is a likable guy. He loves the fans – especially the children – and is always willing to pose for pictures.
Two young students recently took advantage of his affable “awww shucksness” when they posed for the following picture with the Clemson [...]
Dabo Swinney Got “Four-Bombed”
Carolina And Clemson: Believe The Hype
Both the University of South Carolina and Clemson University’s football programs are ranked in the Top Ten of an “early preseason” poll released this week by Fox Sports. Head coach Steve Spurrier’s Gamecocks – one of only four programs in the nation to put together back-to-back 11-win campaigns – are ranked No. 8, while Clemson checks [...]
Clemson “D” Rising
Fourteen months after being humiliated by West Virginia in the 2012 Orange Bowl, Clemson University’s football team appears to have found itself on defense. The Tigers – who coughed up 70 points to the Mountaineers – made significant progress defensively last year (especially during the second half of the season).
In fact Brent Venables’ unit made [...]
Nikki Haley’s “Clemson Air” Could Be Grounded
A budget subcommittee of the S.C. House of Representatives has approved language which would prohibit state colleges and universities from using the state plane to recruit football players.

Nikki Haley Letting Clemson Use State Plane For Football Recruiting
S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley is fighting with state lawmakers in an effort to preserve her right to use the state’s official airplane for press conferences and bill signing ceremonies – but it’s her alma mater’s habitual use of the plane for football recruiting which probably deserves more scrutiny.
According to flight logs and passenger manifest records [...]
Five-Star Future Tigers?
Clemson University’s football program is out of the running for the nation’s No. 1 recruit Robert Nkemdiche – who previously gave the school a verbal commitment but now seems likely to play for Ole Miss. The Tigers have also been eliminated from consideration by a pair of four-star prospects - defensive end Elijah Daniel and wide receiver Demarcus [...]
Gamecock Football: Top Ten Again
CLEMSON ALSO IMPROVES ITS NATIONAL STANDING
During its first 118 years of football competition, the University of South Carolina never finished a season ranked higher than No. 11 – and recorded ten wins just once.
How times have changed …
The Gamecocks – who knocked off Michigan in the 2013 Outback Bowl – finished the 2012 season ranked [...]
Bravo, Boyd
CLEMSON QUARTERBACK PROVES US WRONG
This website has had a field day ragging on Clemson University quarterback Tajh Boyd. When Boyd was selected as a coaches’ first-team All-American last month, we questioned whether he deserved such an accolade – arguing he didn’t deserve to be ranked ahead of Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M.
“Given [...]
Holy Clemson!
TIGERS STUN SEC POWERHOUSE LOUISIANA STATE IN 2012 CHICK-FIL-A BOWL
You can put those “West Virginia scored again” jokes on ice … and silence at least some of the dismissive talk about the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Clemson University overcame a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter to knock off eighth-ranked Louisiana State on New Year’s Eve – [...]

“MOO U” GETS READY FOR CHICK-FIL-A BOWL MATCHUP AGAINST LSU
So here’s Clemson University head coach Dabo Swinney and several members of his fourteenth-ranked Tiger football team getting psyched – or from the looks of it, not psyched – for their Chick-fil-A Bowl showdown next week against the eighth-ranked LSU Tigers.
Seriously, guys … why the glum [...]
