Clemson, SC—Three teams will make their first appearance in Death Valley, including first-year ACC member Louisville, according to the 2014 Clemson football schedule announced by the Atlantic Coast Conference on Wednesday.

Overall the Tigers will face nine teams that had winning records and eight squads that played in bowl games during the 2013 season. Five of those programs, Louisville, South Carolina, Florida State, Syracuse and North Carolina, won bowl games. The slate also includes three teams that won at least 11 games and finished in the top 15 of both polls, Florida State, Louisville and South Carolina.

“This schedule allows us to compete to reach the College Football Playoff,” said Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney. “It is a challenging schedule. Just look at the beginning. We play at Georgia and at Florida State within the first three games.

“On paper, based on last year’s results, it looks to be more difficult than last year. Louisville was a 12-1 team ranked in the final top 15 and North Carolina finished strong winning six of its last seven games.” Louisville and North Carolina replace Maryland and Virginia on the ACC portion of Clemson’s schedule.

“Playing Georgia and South Carolina from the SEC certainly makes it difficult from a non-conference standpoint.”

Clemson finished the 2013 season with an 11-2 record and a number-seven final ranking by USA Today.

Clemson will have two weeks to prepare for Florida State as the Tigers have an open date on September 13 prior to the September 20 game. Clemson is 10-0 the last two years under Swinney with at least eight days to prepare for the next opponent.

For the fifth consecutive year Clemson will play two non-conference games against SEC teams, the third straight year Clemson will open and close the regular season with teams from that league. The Tigers travel to Athens, GA to face Georgia on August 30 for the season opener, then will finish the regular season November 29 with a home game against South Carolina. It will be just the second time since 1958 Clemson has played on that date. The only other time was in 2008 when the Tigers defeated the Gamecocks, 31-14.

Clemson will play two non-conference opponents to open the season and will close the season with two non-conference foes. This will be the fifth consecutive year Clemson plays all eight of its ACC games consecutively.

The slate includes 11 Saturday games and one Thursday night game, at Wake Forest on November 6. Clemson has won five consecutive games played on days other than Saturday, including bowl wins over top 10 teams to conclude each of the last two seasons. The Tigers have won three consecutive Thursday night games, including two years ago at Wake Forest.

Clemson opens the 2014 season at Georgia on August 30, tied for the earliest start to a season in Clemson history. Clemson defeated a fifth-ranked Georgia team at Clemson last year in one of the top college games of the year, 38-35. Clemson has lost three in a row in Athens and has not won in Sanford Stadium since David Treadwell’s 46-yard field goal on the last play of the game gave Danny Ford’s team a 31-28 victory in 1986.

Clemson opens its home schedule against South Carolina State on September 6. It will be the second consecutive year the Bulldogs have played at Clemson. Last year South Carolina State finished with a 9-4 record and reached the FCS playoffs.

Two weeks later Clemson will be play defending national champion Florida State. It will be the earliest meeting on the calendar between the two schools in Tallahassee since 2006 when the Tigers last won there, a 27-20 victory on a last minute touchdown by James Davis.

The winner of the Clemson vs. Florida State game has gone on to win the ACC Atlantic Division each of the last five years.

North Carolina comes to Clemson on September 27th for the first of three straight ACC games in Memorial Stadium, the first time that has happened since 1991. Each of the last two appearances for North Carolina in Death Valley, the Tigers have celebrated a reunion for its 1981 National Championship team and the Clemson team has responded by scoring 110 total points. No reunion is scheduled this year. Clemson has won four of the last five against the Tar Heels, including three in a row at Death Valley.

Clemson will welcome another school from the Tar Heel state, the NC State Wolfpack, the following Saturday. This will be the first time Clemson has played North Carolina and NC State at home in consecutive games. Clemson has won nine of the last 10 in the series, with the Wolfpack including five in a row at home since Philip Rivers and company defeated the Tigers at Memorial Stadium in 2002.

Louisville’s first trip to Clemson concludes the home stand on October 11. Marshall (1999) and Miami (FL) (2005) are the only programs to win their first game in Clemson Memorial Stadium since 1977.

Clemson returns to the road for the first time in 28 days when the Tigers play at Boston College on October 18. The Tigers have a 5-4 lead in the series since the Eagles joined the conference for the 2005 season. This year’s game will be the 10th time the two schools play for the O’Rourke-McFadden Trophy.

For the second consecutive home game, a first-time visitor to Death Valley is on the schedule as the Syracuse Orange come to Clemson. It will be Clemson’s last home ACC game of the year. Clemson won its first game in the Carrier Dome this past season.

Clemson’s next game is on a Thursday night at Wake Forest, the third time since 2008 that Clemson has played in Winston-Salem on a Thursday night. The Tigers will face a Demon Deacons team led by first-year coach Dave Clawson, the only first-year coach Clemson will face this year.

On November 15 Clemson wraps up its ACC slate at Georgia Tech. The Tigers have beaten the Yellow Jackets each of the last two years, but have not won at Tech since 2003.

Clemson concludes the regular season with home games against first time opponent Georgia State and state rival South Carolina. It is just the second time since 2006 that Clemson has finished the regular season with consecutive home games.

How in the world Clemson can draw more than 30K to any game on their schedule, other than FSU and USC…I have NO idea…

That is D-II level football. It kinda gives you a sick, desolate feeling when you tune in to an ACC, non-FSU game on Sat. It’s like the JV game before the Varsity (SEC) plays its games…

However, I do get a charge when Md., NC St. or the like embarrasses Clemson. In most years that happens a couple of times. I think it will in 2014.

PS: I see Clemson dodged Duke again…I bet Dabo is begging the ACC to keep Duke away from him w/ Cutcliffe there…

We knew it would get better…and MAN were we RIGHT…Finish at No, 4 in the country…That’s stout..
But the ACC is weaker now than ever…and that is saying a lot..since it’s always been a very lackluster quality of football, compred to bigtime college football…like the SEC…
Better hope all the playmakers leaving does not send Clemson into a nosedive…or you’ll really have a spotty-filled stadium..like it has been so many times before..when you’d lie about attendance.

I knew you’d jump on their jock, and start toking…it’s why I had reservations about pulling for the Noles vs Auburn. But I despise Auburn (AU is the Clemson of the SEC, except AU has a real tradition) so much, and FSU now owns Clemson again, I can live with yall living vicariously through them.

You shore do have a purty ‘Bama mouf to go with your Vandy trophy case, BigTime.

AU is the Clemson of the SEC

TBG will not argue with the imitable Lewis Grizzard.

So y’all are what…the Virginia of the SEC? (Usually well behind the leaders in the weaker division.) Thought of comparing y’all to Pitt…but they’ve got that pesky National Championship.

Final AP Poll:

Florida State (1)
Clemson (8)
Louisville (15)
Notre Dame (TBG throws up in mouth a little bit) (20)
DUUUUUKE! (23)

UNC will probably be a Top 15 team next year. Miami, Georgia Tech, Pitt and Virginia Tech have also had “quality*” teams during…uh…TBG’s lifetime.

Paleface.

* Played for/Won National Championship

Not so fast January 23, 2014 at 11:51 am

TBG, I have never had a negative thing to say to you, so don’t take this the wrong way, but neither Notre Dame nor Louisville is in the ACC for football yet, (Notre Dame isn’t joining for football until after the TV deal they have runs out). Louisville will be a full member next year but they don’t count for this past year.

The Colonel January 23, 2014 at 9:24 am

“How did Dirtpecker U. fill their stadium when they went 1-21?”
Simple we had lying, lisping, losing, Lou for a “Coach”!
Despite having the HGK (head grounds keeper) as the coach, we have always had a loyal if half hearted fan base – there was no one in the stadium halfway through the 2nd quarter most games. Lou Holtz was a freaking disaster with one exception – he set the stage for the coming of Steve Spurrier.

Reply
Original Good Old Boy January 23, 2014 at 4:43 pm

I disagree on your assessment of Lou. He pulled us out of a huge hole and gave us credibility. While Lou went on autopilot during his final years, he was directly responsible for taking that 1-21 period and turning it into very productive years in 2000, 2001, and 2002. Given our program was a disaster when he joined, I think when putting it in proper context he did a good job.

Reply
The Colonel January 24, 2014 at 2:26 am

Holtz at USC went 33-37 (even accounting for the disaster of his first season he went 33-26 – nothing to crow about (pun intended)) His record was on slightly better than Sparky’s (.47 vs .41)

His only reason for coming to Columbia was to attempt to repair/improve his legacy and get his son a job. (at least Skip is employed now…thankfully not here)

We went to 3rd rate bowl games during the “everybody gets a bowl game” expansion and his last season was 6-5.

When he left, finally, we had 3 years of probation for 5 major and 15 minor violations.

I think Lisping Lou should be barred from ever attempting to properly pronounce USC again.

Original Good Old Boy January 24, 2014 at 11:39 am

Where would we have been without him, though? The football program then was similar to the basketball program now. He did a remarkable turnaround. And we had two quality Outback bowl wins over OSU. I wouldn’t call those 3rd rate. The probation stuff was as silly (too much tutoring?) as the probation stuff with Whitney-gate.
Besides, he still pulls for us, always picks us, trashes Clemson, etc.

Reading comprehension is tough isn’t it? It’s similar as the same way SC “dodged” (your word, not mine, that’s why it’s in quotes) Texas A&M, or Ole Miss. They weren’t on the schedule numb nuts.

Only the Gamecocks could accomplish sooo much (11 win seasons 3 times in a row, top 10 finishes, 5 in a row over Clemson, best Gamecock team ever.)

And have sooo little to show for it. (No BCS appearances/wins, no division crowns, no conference title appearances/championships, no nothing)

UMM by the way where did you finish in the polls? USC was #4. How did that ACC title work out? you finished #22 that year right? USC was top 10. Real football fans from everywhere else in the country knows which team was better.#4 or #8, #9 or #22. You got a trophy for being the smartest kid with down syndrome, and you brag like its an accomplishment, all the while even sports anchors on ESPN were laughing at you. Everyone else gets the joke but the poor taters that are the joke.

Another “meaningless” trophy to go along with the 18 other championships I guess.

“You were the 4th option.”

No, you’re an idiot. Clemson was actually the second selection for the Orange Bowl due to being the second highest ranked ACC team. Typically, the Orange Bowl takes the ACC champion. But, FSU went to the NCG.

Hey…Didn’t this “pop warner” conference win the national title? So which is it? I mean I’d love to be like you mouth-breathing SEC fans and ride FSU’s coattails like you Gamecocks do to the Auburn’s, and Bama’s, and LSU’s. But I’m not a conference dick-riding tool.

Bonus: Who types “LOL” besides tween girls in text messages?

Jerry Maguire January 23, 2014 at 5:52 pm

I see you read the internet article about the neighbors light. Thanks for the book to prove you suck and you know it. As far as you being the second option, we both know that’s bull shit. The bowl is allowed an at large bid if the conference champion goes to the national championship game. It is not required to pick the #2 team, which was still worse than all top 4 of ours including USC, so no coat tails needed there. But keep talking like that you sound big. If the SEC didn’t already have 2 teams (which by rules cant have a 3rd) in it would have been USC then Mizzou, Oregon was out west and they feared they wouldn’t travel. 1,2,3 Clemson. Yes you were the 4th choice (I guess 5th if you include FSU so thanks for reminding me about that). FYI I was still laughing at the ESPN crew in the clip. Now that’s funny!! All of those titles you speak of were before anyone including coaches was even at the school. living in the past is why you suck. Now Win again little man before you come back, you are just embarrassing yourself.

Well, I guess I’m breaking rule numero uno of arguing with someone on the Internet: never argue with an idiot; they’ll only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. But I’ll bite just this once.

“If the SEC didn’t already have 2 teams (which by rules cant have a 3rd)”

I don’t know why you Gamecock fans have such a hard time understanding the 2 team BCS limit rule. You even said it, then insinuated that somehow the Gamecocks should have magically been the 3rd team in a BCS Bowl and in the Orange Bowl. You know because it’s only been that way for, I don’t know, the last 15 fucking years! It’s like you’re in idiot denial. I do know this, maybe you retards shouldn’t have lost to Tennessee or UGA if you have such a big problem with the BCS.

The Orange Bowl has had an ACC tie in for the last 7 years paired with a BCS at large bid. Why in the blue fuck would they take a SEC team when 2 other teams had already been picked for the Sugar and BCS Title? What part of “2 is the goddamn limit” do you not understand?! You block head motherfucker.

Living in the past? I was talking about this year, 2014. Is not the 2012 Orange Bowl the past? Pick your argument you schizophrenic retard.

I know about the bowl revenue sharing agreement. Yes we have to share the $17.5 million with the rest of the ACC. But guess what sugar tits? We also get a cut of FSU’s $23.9 million BCS title payout. I guess Mouth Carolina doesn’t have to share their $4.5 million with the rest of the 14 SEC members huh?

Squishy123 January 24, 2014 at 2:48 pm

Boo hoo… I’ll just go take my two conference rings and go home. Had I played for Dirtpecker U. (or sat on the bench handing out water) I wouldn’t even have those two rings to keep me company. All I’d have is an empty trophy case to show for all that hard work.

bless her heart January 24, 2014 at 3:51 pm

WOW a conference ring from a D2 league for handing out water to the boys that really played. That’s about as useful as the participation award given out in little league. sorry waterboy, no matter how you word it, it still reads “You suck”

Squishy123 January 24, 2014 at 9:14 pm

How was your illustrious baseball career? And that’s two conference rings. Maybe I could wear them on campus some day and show the football team what one looks like.

Just to get this right, talking about football, and you bring up bragging about 2 useless D2 basketball conference rings. A. It still sucks, and B. If you want to switch sports you can see 2 NCAA D1 national championships trophies and rings any day at the USC baseball field. Or can you only switch topics and sports when it appears in your mind to help you (it doesn’t JV). You cant have it both ways waterboy

Squishy123 January 25, 2014 at 8:44 am

How many conference rings do you have? Oh yeah, the same as the football team has. Too bad your coach didn’t feel sorry for you and buy your team participation rings like Slurrier did one night while up drinking and watching QVC.

Maybe you should have gone to a school better suited for your skill level and listened less to the MLB lies the coaches told you and more on the academic degree you could earn that could get you a job outside of the typical Dirtpecker athlete Sociology major.

I guess I just played on a team in a division and conference where we could compete and not be the conference whipping boy like Dirtpecker U. was when you played. Face it, in the end I’ll have fond memories of playing on successful teams, while you’re just sitting in your single-side trying to drink those memories of failure out of your head.

Speaking of baseball, I hope their new coach took some public speaking training over the break. The guy sounds like the typical baseball retard when a microphone is stuck in his face. He honestly looks like he’s about to shit his pants.

Thanks for writing a sequel to War and Peace. Too bad it was all BS. first of all you said you “could compete and not be the conference whipping boy like Dirtpecker U. was when you played”. USC was independent when I was there (except they played basketball in the Metro conference” USC did join the SEC my last year and starting competing the year after I graduated. We did go to the NCAA tournament my first year so get some facts right. Now about yourself, you said you played in the mid 80’s which should make you around 45 years old at least if not older, yet you act like a 10 year old girl with all that “Dirtpecker U.”name calling you do, and those temper tantrums you have. I feel it is a sad attempt at over compensating for something. Wonder what that could be? Bragging in anyway about a D2 basketball title, is about as good as that church league I played in that won state back in 81 when I was 12 . Its still laughable to a player that played at a higher level than you did that you consider it an accomplishment in life. It is too obvious you really are jealous. Another childish character flaw. Grow up. I hope you did not reproduce because if your poor children get the same jeans, they will more than likely be little crybabies as well. If you do have kids, please for them stop now and give them a chance or I feel they will be getting a lot of wedgies and swirlies (sp?) in their future. I hope its not to late as based on your age, it may have already happened. So USC said you weren’t good enough to play for them, grow up and let it go man. Its pathetic. You know its not so bad to admit it, then it might be an accomplishment. Kind of like “Despite the fact I wasn’t good enough, I then went on to play somewhere else and found success at that level. Its not 100% the same but for me it was the best I could do, and that makes me happy” Showing so much hostility towards a school just because they didn’t offer you says in your head its not as much of a big deal as you try to make it out to be. It was fun getting you all worked up and reply in kind to your childish posts, but I have grown tired of it and you. Quite frankly I have a life and it must be better than yours so I am going back to it, instead of being in here every day, and honestly you’re just to easy when you look at it. Good bye, and I hope you think about what I said for the children’s sake. . It doesn’t look good when they act more mature than the father even if he has two very impressive rings. WOW. You know who else had rings? Liberace. Have a goo… oka…avera….just get a life man. Now I hope I wrote enough to get my book published too. Good bye

Talk about War and Peace, at least in my 1000 word response I used paragraphs.

Dirtpecker U. never said I wasn’t good enough, back then nobody outside the state of SC never knew they had a basletball team.

I forgot to mention, I was on full scholarship as well. Being a Dirtpecker baseball player you wouldn’t know what that’s like.

I bet you have a life to go back to, did your mom call up and tell you breakfast was ready? It’s funny, I respond hours after you do and you respond minutes after I do, so who’s the one with the pathetic life wasted on this blog?

” I hope you did not reproduce because if your poor children get the same jeans”

I buy them new jeans, not hand-me-downs.

Are you leaving me, sniff… I’ll miss you man. Go on, walk away, that’s what you Dirtpecker fans are good at, walking away with their tails between their legs after getting their asses handed to them.

What’s the fascination with “tater” on this and every dirtpecker fan forum? Just another case of being able to dish it out but can’t take it.

Middle school, or what dirtpecker fans call “my senior year”.

So dirtpeckers aren’t calling Clemson fans “taters” anymore?

In the meantime, Alabama mouth, Vanderbilt trophy case.

hey JV, Division one mouth, water boy talent?

When you go look at the Dirtpecker trophy case, does that ACC championship trophy gather much dust?

Original Good Old Boy January 24, 2014 at 11:43 am

Since you claim you are not a Clemson fan (I don’t believe you), who do you pull for? I don’t recall you ever saying, so presumably it’s a team that USC would throttle.

Squishy123 January 24, 2014 at 2:46 pm

I don’t know… some of those D-II teams can be awful tough to beat.

Original Good Old Boy January 24, 2014 at 3:00 pm

As usual, you dodge the question. So I will correctly assume that whatever team you pull for would get hammered by the Cocks.

Squishy123 January 24, 2014 at 3:30 pm

Would it make your life complete if I told you? How many D-II teams could USC beat? So what does it really matter?

Original Good Old Boy January 27, 2014 at 2:50 pm

It would indeed make my life complete. OK, fair enough. You pull for a D-II team and don’t claim to be a Bama, FSU, or similar type of fan.

Original Good Old Boy January 24, 2014 at 11:42 am

I don’t say tater. It’s childish, just like dirt pecker. I’ve always found that pointing out the score for the last five years is a better insult than some silly word.

That’s a funny schedule. No wonder they are so jealous.

I would like to congratulate the Clemson basketball team for being a BIG part of the NCAA Division I record for the UNC Tar Heels with their 57th straight home win against the same Clemson Tigers.
