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...

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...

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...

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...
