Written on Clemson-Pittsburgh unlikely 'rivals' in new ACC football landscape:

The Tigers of that orange bowl folded under adversity and a fumble returned 99 yards for a TD was apparently enough to do it. A DC having a legitimate mental episode repeatedly calling plays that weren't even in the Clemson play book didn't help either! After the truck load of heart and dominance on the D line in their victory over LSU I'm pretty confident those issues are in the past. In short bring on WVU or anybody for that matter Clemson is a team on a mission and I have a good feeling that mission will be a success.

Written on Clemson-Pittsburgh unlikely 'rivals' in new ACC football landscape:

Well my opinion on future ACC rivalries "The Clemson Tigers are the ONLY orangemen in the ACC" so let the rivalry begin.

Written on For Martavis Bryant, newfound commitment showing up, on and off the field:

in response to SoCalTiger:

It's one thing to call him out behind the scenes and give him a chance to fix the problem, but to call a player out in a news article with words like "immature" and "uncommitted" is unnecessary. I never would have known he had these problems and don't see the point of airing it out in public. He's a young college athlete. Why call him out in public? What purpose does it serve for all the know his problems? I'd be embarrassed.

Dabo made those statements as if they were issues in the past that have been overcome in the past few months behind the scenes. Not to mention if he didn't want all his flaws aired out on a public stage he should have skipped collegiate sports.

Well written TY sir

Written on Calm, mature and focused, Cole Stoudt asserting himself in backup QB role:

Hmmmm call it a gut feeling but I think I'd still take Kelly if the stuff hits the fan !

Written on Dabo Swinney says notion of Clowney or Watkins passing up junior seasons 'absurd':

He's a really good Xs and Os coach but he has to be to balance it out with his mouth. I will give it to him even if what he says makes no sense to anybody with an IQ over 80 the inbred redneck coot fans sure eat it up. He's nothing but a used car salesman to me.

Written on Swinney to Garry Peters: 'When you're trying to be great, everything counts':

Of course I agree with u all I was just baiting the trolls and apparently they know enough to shut up on this one !!! LOL

Written on Swinney to Garry Peters: 'When you're trying to be great, everything counts':

Strange how Clemson seems to lose far more players to academic issues than other teams. So trolls does that say something about us or them ?

Written on Dabo Swinney expecting spirited competition this spring for backup QB spot:

Aren't Auburn & LSU an sec schools ? You can try that crap on just about every other team in FBS but Clemson was 2 for 3 against the sec last year. I don't give a crap about the rest of the ACC and how horrible they may be. Trolls like you on the other hand cling to the fact that SOMEBODY ELSE in their conference has won the national championship the past few years. Georgia-chicken fans come back and talk all the crap u want WHEN YOU WIN A NC not somebody else!

Written on Dabo Swinney expecting spirited competition this spring for backup QB spot:

Cole is like lambs to the slaughter. Kelly is going to destroy him provided he can keep his tail out of trouble. Granted we haven't heard a peep out of him since this time last year which is promising on that front ! Either way competition is best for all.

Written on In ACC-SEC country, not all non-conference schedules are created equal:

Ya like Auburn and LSU were last year huh. Just like last year Clemson has the most ambitious non conference schedule in the ACC AND sec. I'm actually impressed with the chickens non conference schedule for once. Maybe the used car salesman is finally growing a par to match that mouth of his.

Written on Details emerging concerning Da'Quan Bowers' arrest in NYC on gun charges:

If he did turn it in and the clip wasn't in I really don't see why he should be fried on this. I mean first off how the heck did he fly it to New York in the first place. Secondly he apparently tried to do the right thing once he knew. But hey he owns guns so he must be a bad guy huh. PFFT what's this world coming to.

Written on Record-setting passer, runner, Hall of Fame member Don King passes away :

WOW that's sportsmanship. You'll never see that sort of thing in today's game!

Written on Swinney says Grayson DB Ryan Carter 'earned his scholarship on his own merits':

in response to radtiger:

Wishing failure on a kids college career and Thanking God in the same conversation proves that you are a hypocrite.and if you think that any of these boys choose any of these schools because of education....think again!!!! Their dream is to play ball on SUNDAYS and in order to do that, they have to play on Saturdays first.......THATS THE FUTURE THAT THEY LOOK FORWARD TO.

I am a fire and brimstone old testament kinda guy. Nkemdeche is the DEFINITION of vanity so me looking to be a hypocrite to you makes sense but me and my god are just fine. Punish the wicked reward the good. Lattimore was a crying shame that he went to the dark side but his bad luck most of all. This world is going down in a hand basket because we overlook evil. I am very proud of the caliber of young men Clemson requires. When we win the national championship with good men THAT will be a good day.

Written on Swinney says Grayson DB Ryan Carter 'earned his scholarship on his own merits':

His college FOOTBALL career I meant

Written on Swinney says Grayson DB Ryan Carter 'earned his scholarship on his own merits':

in response to radtiger:

Would you be calling him over rated had he signed with us???? Stop hating on these kids and their talent.They have the right to go to whichever school they choose and you as an adult should be proud and supportive of all of these young men that put their livelihood on the line week after week for our entertainment. Keep in mind, its a game to us but to them its their future.

No their education is their future and they are the lucky ones to get it for ball skills. Unlike many of the others who really put their lives on the line on foreign soil who don't get their picture on every channel being a spoiled snot. Overrated or not Nkemdechi is a spoiled mammas boy and I wish him physically well but I also hope his college career is a failure. We got the highest rated humble player and I thank god for that.

Written on Sophomore linebacker Lateek Townsend to transfer:

After more thought we have outstanding freshmen (red shirt or true) coming in at each of the 4 positions.

Written on Sophomore linebacker Lateek Townsend to transfer:

Ok now I'm kinda worried. That's 4 that have left since seasons end. What is going on ? Granted none of them have been starters but depth is taking a hit. This could be a sign of weeding out the nonhackers and I hope it is but unnerving nonetheless. Anybody know anything ? Rumours or educated speculation ?

Written on Four 'mock drafts' project Nuk Hopkins as first-round pick in NFL draft:

I'm only an NFL guy to watch former Tigers but I also agree that Carolina would make a good home for Nuk. He knows what it is to be a receiver for a mobile QB. Don't quit after your route !!!!! Find a hole in the D and block if the general runs. On top of the reasons u guys stated above.

Written on Countdown to Signing Day: Clemson has some ground to make up:

in response to BrandonRink:

I didn't divide it up well enough. I get where you're coming from there. Was intended as a Clemson sports notebook and led with football.

No harm no foul ..... Thanks for the rest though sir

Written on Countdown to Signing Day: Clemson has some ground to make up:

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there a basketball section on this web site ? I do wish the Tigers the best on the court but that's where my give a crap about basketball stops. I can go to other web sites and get jumbled up mess but I come here where usually can find concise football coverage.

Written on Clemson WR DeAndre Hopkins' jump to the NFL looking like a slam dunk:

Nuk will leave and be the unstoppable force we've come to know. I'm glad Tajh is coming back but I'm sticking to my guns Chad Kelly (if he keeps his nose clean) will be the greatest QB Clemson has ever seen and another year to learn behind a great one like Boyd will be a good thing in the long run.

Written on One more year: All-America QB Tajh Boyd returning to Clemson to finish the job:

I SMELL ..... I SMELL ..... I SMELL .....14-0 BABY

Written on Tigers' victory over LSU cost 55 cents, and was worth every penny:

There's 2 min I'll never get back. Why write this instead of a recruiting piece. Ugh I hate off season.

Written on LSU's Les Miles marvels at Tajh Boyd's toughness, determination, playmaking ability:

Ya I think Tajh would have been better off to go 3 rounds with Mike Tyson but he had the courage and dedication to stand in there and take the shots. I give u much respect sir !

Written on Win or lose, Clemson getting just what it needs from LSU matchup:

in response to tigerrick:

Wrong!!

Unfortunately Scot was right. LSU wasn't fooled by the smoke and mirrors. WE STOOD UP AND SMACKED EM IN THE MOUTH AND THEY FOLDED !!!!!!!

Written on First half: what we know at this point:

Is it just me or are our coaches consistently out coached at half time. In these games we seem to miss on our half time adjustments and our opponents nail us to the wall.

Written on Clemson has first dibs, but teams won't squabble over Death Valley homes:

Auburn was the inspiration for Clemson being called the tiger's. It originated in 1898 by the third first year coach in a row that had played on the Auburn football team.

Written on Clemson big-play passing game meets match in LSU:

Johnny footballs unit is the ONLY top 25 offense LSU has seen all year.

Written on Clemson O-line ready to take on another elite defense :

I think sma meant more the attitude aspect. "were going to have to" not confident like "we're going to need to perform like we have" for example. Our guys play their hearts out BUT most of em are young yet so the mastery of the sport and confidence are still maturing. Our tigers will grow and make us all very happy very soon. GO TIGERS !!!!

Written on N.C. State poised to make a move; board approved contract parameters in Wednesday meeting:

If I'm not mistaken as long as he takes a head coach position he has NO buy out ?!?

Written on Racing past N.C. State shows Clemson's moxie:

With all those injuries we need Adam Humphries @ corner. I believe in him there and @ wide out ! Just a special talented kid.

Written on Clemson thriving with quiet, impressive consistency:

Hmm that'd be a good game ..... The media's sweet hearts (bama) and their orange headed step child (us). Win that one in January and that'll be the catylist to a legitimate National Championship campaign in 13 !!!

Written on Clemson has the right mindset at the right time:

Love Nuk but he's gonna go and do great things on Sundays but 1 more year with Morris would be defining !!! We have an outstanding strength of schedule to go ALL THE WAY NEXT YEAR !!!!! just be more possible with "the chad" @ OC.

Written on Dialed In: Chad Kelly making the most of his redshirt season :

Heeees coooming.

Way to show your hand.

That's exactly what I was thinking while reading this !

Written on Unheralded Still: Nuk Hopkins' 11 catches, 197 yards not enough for ACC honors?:

in response to TigerMarine:

Ya well this sort of stupidity aimed at Clemson is the norm. Another example would be we we lost a game that, according to their own rankings 10vs4, we should have lost. We also did it in a relatively close manner like 10v4 would lead you to expect. Where as USC, Trojans not chickens, lost to the #21 ranked team and they are ranked above Clemson. Now I know they were #2 and we were #10 but in my opinion that should make it worse. I'm not saying we should have remained 10th but we should be ahead of the REAL USC. So yes by this thinking when the yard birds get it handed to them in their house by the dogs this Saturday they should be ahead of us. Matter of fact they should stay in the top 10 but we'll see what the "experts" shovel this week.

Holy Cow was I wrong !!!!! As much as I hate to say it congratulations Gamecocks great game

Written on Brown can do plenty for Clemson's offense:

This story completely about Brown is long over due and I couldn't agree more. I hope the NFL scouts see this diamond in the stars and pluck him quick like he deserves !!!!!!

Written on Unheralded Still: Nuk Hopkins' 11 catches, 197 yards not enough for ACC honors?:

in response to YabbaDaboDooDoo:

The difference b/t Southern Cal and Clemson is that USC's defense can actually stop somebody. There is ZERO chance that USC gives up 27 points to Ball State AT HOME or 31 points to BC.

Ok, I can't argue against that.

Written on Fired Pickens cop speaks out about Dabo Swinney traffic stop, ticket :

in response to TigerMarine:

Have any of you actually driven on the stretch of hwy 8 that Dabo got nailed on. Well NOBODY goes the posted speed limit of 45 that drops to 35 just before the BiLo. If u do drive 45 (even in the slow lane) you get every 3 toothed Dale Earnheardt wanna be all up your butt. Long story short its a speed trap and judging his post incident reaction I'm sure the officer knew exactly who he was pulling over. All that being said Dabo was speeding and therefore deserved whatever ticket he earned. JUST LIKE how the officer earned his termination by gloating about it to his yardbird buddies IN PUBLIC. Stupid stupid stupid As we all know if you appeal a ticket it normally gets reduced. Dabo did get off a little easy but that could be to keep the city of Pickens from being sued due to the stupidity of their employee.

I have to edit my previous statement because I assumed Dabo was coming from Easley but he wasn't. That hill from downtown Pickens is pretty steep going into the stop but that is no excuse for that speed. None of this changes my final opinion, they both got what they deserved. Suggestions Dabo ..... Slow down ...... Cop ..... Loose weight and then I'm sure you can find a fellow yardbird with no morals that is a police chief that'll hire ya.

My favorite team right now is UL Monroe. That is the longest mos i have ever heard of.

Thank you that's all I asked for. My mos was 0351. An 0351 is an anti tank assaultman using C-4 to bring down trees to block their way, the SMAW to destroy their tracks, but for the most part the Dragon missile (in my day now the Javelin) to destroy the tank. So like I said 0351 anti tank / dragon gunner ..... Mr.Kinkos
