I don’t care what anyone else says. This is the best tradition in college football. It’s unique. It can’t be duplicated. There is no smoke or loud music or a chicken doing a magic show. There is nothing else like it.
#Clemson
Clemson LB James Skalski said Saturday’s game against Georgia was perhaps the best showing by a Clemson defense since they won the natty in 2018. He said, “We were mean and nasty. We played Clemson Football.”
Note to all media not born in the state of South Carolina: The Clemson-South Carolina Game is not called the Palmetto Bowl. Not every rivalry game needs a name. Call it Clemson-Carolina or Carolina-Clemson, but please stop calling it the Palmetto Bowl. Thank you
Clemson is in the midst of one of the greatest runs in college football history, but no one realizes it because of what Nick Saban and Alabama have done during this same stretch. The Tigers are 131-21 over the last 11 seasons... |

Five years ago today, Clemson defeated Alabama, 35-31, when Deshaun Watson threw a 2-yard TD pass to Hunter Renfrow with one second to play. It was the Tigers’ second National Championship in history and first since 1981 |
#Clemson
On this date six years ago, Clemson rallied twice from 2 scores down to beat Alabama, 35-31, in the CFP National Championship. The Tigers won with this Deshaun Watson to Hunter Renfrow 2-yd TD pass with one second to play
Isn’t this a phrase Dabo Swinney has used 100 million times in the last 14 years? I know Clemson and Swinney don’t own it, but if you are Clemson’s main rival don’t you think you would want your social media team to be a little more creative. Just sayin’
I know graduating from college isn't important to Shannon Sharpe, but here is what is happening at Clemson today. 18 players from the Clemson football program are earning their degree today, including 2 starters who are getting a second Master's Degree |
#Clemson
Are coaches adults? When has education been 1st in college sports in Dabo’s lifetime? 100% graduation rate gets you fired w/o winning. Time to share some of that money big programs are earning off of these athletes.
Clemson fans want to know

CFP Chairman Boo Corrigan said Clemson's road wins at Wake Forest and at Florida State, plus the home wins over ranked teams NC State and Syracuse really pushed Clemson over the top at No. 4 when comparing them to No. 5 Michigan.
I just want to clear something up

said Saturday night before Clemson’s game with NC State.
@ESPNBooger
said Clemson is the fake Death Valley and LSU let’s Clemson use it. That is incorrect. Clemson actually called Memorial Stadium “Death Valley” long before LSU used..
I feel sorry for people who think they know the heart of someone when actually they know nothing about them, nor do they try to get to know them. Don't question someone's character or heart, that's not your job |
#Clemson
One of the most under-discussed things in college football right now is how Dabo has taken Clemson’s awesome entrance and made it all about himself. This is weird.
Dabo Swinney's best quote from Sunday's teleconference on FSU postponement.
#Clemson
"We had a heck of a trip to Tallahassee. We had breakfast in the parking lot and some great meetings. Had a little tent revival and came on back." Lol!
Ohio State’s quarterback is banged up and it’s best running back is out of the game. Sound familiar? These are the kinds of things that happen in the 8th week of the season. Clemson lost its first game in Week 8 too. Just sayin’!
Actually, Dabo Swinney was 70-5 with Trevor Lawrence (38-2) and Deshaun Watson (32-3) as his starting QBs. Btw, you left out Tajh Boyd went 32-8, Kelly Bryant was 16-2 and DJ Uiagalelei was 22-6. Also, Swinney led Clemson to its first ACC Championship appearance in his first year
Howard’s Rock currently has a new home. Memorial Stadium is about to begin construction for a new scoreboard, so they removed the famous rock to protect it. This is the first time it has been removed out of the stadium since it debuted at the top of the hill in 1966 |
#Clemson
So the
@CFBPlayoff
Committee awarded an admitted cheater (Michigan) and a team who does not deserve to be in the playoff (Alabama) over an undefeated team who fought through perseverance (FSU) to achieve a goal. What are we teaching young people these days?
This is laughable! Jim Mora on ESPN just said Alabama has "no weaknesses" the morning after they gave up 46 points to a team that just lost to a 4-5 LSU team. And no one challenged his statement. This SEC bias by ESPN is just annoying. I am tired of it.
Here is what is wrong with
@AP_Top25
voters. Clemson went 11-3, went undefeated against ACC teams (9-0), won the ACC and ranked 2 spots below an FSU team (10-3) it beat on the road and won 3 more games while playing in the same division. This is laziness.

Clemson Football Fact of the Day: Since 1977, Clemson has a 238-55-4 record at home. That's a .808 win percentage. In that same time span, LSU is 223-82-3 at home, a .729 win percentage. History tells us Clemson is the original Death Valley. Stats tell us it's also the best one
Former Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence, who now quarterbacks the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars, speaks on some of the criticism Clemson OC Brandon Streeter has received. “He was a big part of my development. People can say what they want to say.” ||

Clemson QB/WR Will Taylor said he and his parents decided the college experience outweighed being drafted by an MLB team. He said he turned down a few offers on Days 1 & 2 of the draft. He said the college experience was more important than the money to him |

There are two reasons why Dacari Collins left the Clemson team. 1) Antonio Williams. 2) Adam Randall. He is falling down the depth chart and is afraid he will not get playing time. It is the college football world we live in. This is a Dacari Collins thing, not a Clemson thing
IMO, Chase Young is a great defensive end and great player. However, he admitted to breaking an NCAA rule. He was suspended for 2 games because of it. He has no business being a Heisman Trophy finalist. Sends a bad message to young people.
Former Clemson WR Tee Higgins had 6 catches for 103 yards in helping the Cincinnati Bengals reach the Super Bowl for a third time in franchise history. He had two big catches in OT to lead to the winning field goal in a 27-24 victory over Kansas City |

The biggest reason Clemson fans dislike Tennessee so much is because Fulmer would not appear in the movie Blindside unless the scene with the 2004 Peach Bowl had Tennessee beating Clemson when the Tigers actually handed it to them in real life. 😂😂

@kellygramlich
This is the biggest bowl game Pitt has been in since the 1982 Sugar Bowl. This is sad. I get what people will say, “What if he gets hurt? It is a meaning less game.” Well, he can get hurt working out too. This is bad for college football. Pickett is letting his teammates down
How about Sammy Watkins? The former Clemson star has 7 catches for 117 yards and scored the game clinching touchdown to send the Kansas City Chiefs to the Super Bowl for the first time in 50 years.
#Clemson
With No. 1 Alabama losing to an unranked team, do they get the same treatment other highly-ranked teams get when they lose to an unranked team? I wonder how far Alabama will far in the AP Poll? Keep in mind AP voters that Bama lost to a team that lost to Arkansas and Miss. State
13 years ago today, former Clemson AD Terry Don Phillips took a chance on a young wide receivers coach from Alabama, the rest is Clemson history |

From 1981-2020, Clemson won 3 national championships to Georgia's 0. However, Clemson last won the title in 2018, since then Georgia has won 2 in back-to-back years. Clemson needs to get back to work
Quietly in the Upstate of South Carolina, Dabo Swinney has put together one of the greatest runs in college football. And it's one no one really talks about |

How about former Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence? He led the Jacksonville Jaguars back from a 27-0 deficit to beat the Chargers 31-30 in the AFC Wild Card Game. Former Clemson RB Travis Etienne had a huge run on 4th-and-1 to set up the game-winning field goal
During the last decade, Clemson is 3-1 against Ohio State ahead-to-ahead, has won 2 national titles to OSU's 1, been to the CFP 6 times to OSU's 4, has 8 more wins (131 to 123) and has a better win percentage (.862 to .860). You might want to redo this graphic

Clemson Football Fact of the Day: Howard's Rock was first placed on a pedestal at the top of The Hill at Memorial Stadium on Sept. 24, 1966, a game Clemson won 40-35 over Virginia. Since that day, Clemson has posted a 262-69-5 record at Death Valley, a .787 win percentage
In a losing effort, former Clemson WR Tee Higgins had the best game by any former Clemson offensive player in a Super Bowl. He had 4 catches for 100 yards and scored 2 TDs. He is the first Tiger in Clemson history to score multiple TDs in a Super Bowl |

#SuperBowlLVI
The last time South Carolina entered its rivalry game with Clemson needing a win to become bowl eligible was in 2003. Of course, that did not work out well for the Gamecocks as Clemson won 63-17 at Williams-Brice Stadium
Having one of the more difficult early-season schedules in the country, playing 8 straight weeks without a bye, and 4 of those being on the road, Clemson would have as much respect as anyone in college football this season. However, that is not the case.
When he was a player, C.J. Spiller always met with the Clemson media on Tuesdays. I asked him if he was having flashbacks. He said, “Where is the Chick-fil-A?” Explaining that is how

I don't really understand what Jordan Travis wanted Clemson to do. The Tigers' game plan worked for the most part. How is that disrespectful?🤔 They held the FSU offense to 286 yards and 17 points in regulation
PSA: To all of you journalist who will be Covering the Clemson-South Carolina game next week, and yes I will die on this sword, it is not called the Palmetto Bowl. I don't care if the school's have accepted the name. Us South Carolinians will never call it that
Clemson's win over Wake Forest today was its 34 straight win at Death Valley. It will remain college football's longest active home winning streak for another year |

Not sure where the national media got the narrative Clemson has struggled to win the majority of its games this year. The Tigers have won 5 of its first 6 games by an average margin of 32.0 points.

@BigGameBoomer
Clemson can’t be Death Valley, Jr. when it was first. Memorial Stadium in Clemson was called Death Valley in the late 1940s. According to an LSU historian, Tiger Stadium did not get the moniker Death Valley until 1959, Billy Cannon’s punt return vs. Ole Miss
Great testimony! thanks for sharing it and telling us about your platform. This is a great organization. I have personally seen it help someone in my family. I always give what I can to the Ronald McDonald House. The money truly does go to helping children and their families.
Clemson beats No. 24 Duke 72-64 to improve to 7-0 in ACC play. PJ Hall led the Tigers with 24 points, while Brevin Galloway added 17. The Tigers are now 15-3 overall. They have won 7 straight and 10 of their last 11
Here is what Clemson's pass defense has done the last 3 games. It held Sam Hartman, Haynes King and Drake Maye to a combined 484 yards, while completing 42 of 97 passes (43.2 percent). The Tigers have allowed just 4.98 yards per attempt and have 7 interceptions to 3 touchdowns
Here is a crazy stat for you. When No. 5 Clemson (7-0) hosts No. 14 Syracuse (6-0) on Saturday, it will mark the first-ever game at Death Valley between teams with 6-0, or better, records
Clemson will be facing Florida State 56 years to the date of the birth of rubbing Howard’s Rock. The rock was first placed on a pedestal atop The Hill on Sept. 24, 1966, but Clemson did not begin rubbing the Rock until a 23-6 win against Wake Forest on Sept. 23, 1967...

Why is Furman baseball connected to Clemson? The first intercollegiate sport ever played at Clemson was a baseball game between Clemson and Furman on April 24, 1896. Furman beat Clemson 20-13 at Bowman Field in Clemson that afternoon.

Again, Dabo Swinney's comments are being taken out of context. He was answering a question about student-athletes being paid by their school directly, not NIL. Swinney said NIL was one solution to the issue. Check your facts.
“They both wanted to come back because they wanted... to win a national championship. That’s something personal to them but they feel like they left on the table here, they don’t feel like they’ve maximized their time here." --Clemson HC Dabo Swinney
