One thing is sure: a touchdown was scored on this play. Regardless of the officials' final verdict (they ruled in favor of West Virginia) there's still plenty of doubt as to exactly which team scored it. [ESPN] More »

According to tipster Matthew W., "This guy 'Clemson Tom' has been making videos for a few weeks now. The Clemson nation has been all over this guy. His latest video he prank calls, Connor Shaw, starting QB for South Carolina. This guys also in past videos prank calls head coaches, Frat houses, GT Library, you name it. It's very funny in a southern idiot kind of way." More »

Georgia Tech is leading unbeaten and fifth-ranked Clemson 24-3 at the half, in part due to this Megatronic 44-yard catch by Stephen Hill off a Tevin Washington pass. Washington's been worse than trash most of the season as a passer & Clemson can't possibly play as inept an offensive game in the second half as they did in the first, so the roughly 8% of America stuck with this instead of the Luck-Barkley experience in L.A. are probably in for a game after all.

Not sure who. Not sure why. Not sure how. But yes, tipster David S. — who wishes he'd turned his lamp off before photography commenced — is correct in thinking that's an image of First Lady Michelle Obama on an assistant Clemson University football coach's folder last night. More »

Both of these teams love to play fast and loose, and Clemson's Trevor Booker might be the best player on the court. However, the Big 12 was better this year and Mizzou is very well-rounded. Tigers by five. More »

Hopefully, the Clemson-South Carolina game doesn't take an ugly turn like it did in 2004 when a brawl broke out in the 4th quarter during Lou Holtz's last game as head coach of the Gamecocks. Or do we? Nah. More »

CLEMSON TIGERS

1) Clemson Tigers, Naughty By Nature? Clemson University is a public school located in the northwest corner of South Carolina in Clemson, South Carolina, the "golden corner" of the Upstate. Though established in 1869, the Clemson Tigers long for the 1990s. The Tiger faithful call themselves Oliver Purnell's Posse (O.P.P.), a nod to Naughty By Nature's 1991 "Yo! MTV Raps" classic "O.P.P ," which is played at home games to get the crowd excited. The 1990s was also the last time the Clemson Basketball program sustained any success. The parallels between the 1996-1997 team and this year's team are uncanny, which may bode well for the team in this year's tournament, as the 1996-1997 team made it to the sweet 16. Both 1996-1997 and the 2008-2009 Clemson teams started 16-1 and were then assigned to Kansas City, Missouri. for the first two rounds of NCAA tournament. Both teams finished with a 9-7 ACC record, including a 4-4 road record and a home loss to Wake Forest when each team was ranked in the top ten. Both teams were lead by 2nd team All-ACC Juniors Greg Buckner in 96-97 and Trevor Booker in 08-09. And while the faces have changed, Clemson has indeed returned to the success of the 1990s. More »

Clemson didn't just defeat Duke last night. They didn't merely end a 12-year home-losing streak and hand them their second ACC loss. They gave the Blue Devils a humiliating, soul-searching, certifiable beatdown. More »

Hey, Tommy Bowden's departure from Clemson was hard on all of us. But none moreso than Dave of Mount Pleasant, who called in to the Live 5 News sports report and tried to be brave, but dammit, he's been torn up ever since he heard the news, and now he's afraid that ... the whole program (gulp) is in shambles (breaks down, weeps). After the jump, witness one man's descent into the pit of despair, feel his pain, and see the sports anchors who try their darndest not to laugh at that man. More »

Right now Craig James and Doug Flutie are having a little fun comparing Michigan to Toledo. That came on the heels of the Wolverines' surrendering a pick-six to...Toldeo's Tyrrell Herbert? But to break it down, Michigan football is in Year One of installing a whole new program; everything from philosophy to personnel needs has been altered. That is to say, they have a fair excuse for not winning the big games this year. Clemson, however, does not. More »

Something strange happened on the way to Death Valley this afternoon—Clemson woke up. Tommy Bowden must have decided that this would be the one ACC game where he would actually prepare his team. C.J. Spiller ripped off a 35-yard run, while the Tiger defense managed a goal-line stand to hold the Terps to a field goal to start the second quarter. Clemson leads 10-3. More updates coming, but in the meantime, here's a helping of HUGH: More »

1. "Clempson," as some locals refer to it, resides in the city of Clemson in the northwestern region of South Carolina known as "The Upstate." It was opened in 1893 as a military academy exclusively for Caucasian males, serving as one of the rare instances of racial discrimination in the South. The school later abandoned its military curriculum and started its rich tradition of admitting hot, bangable women that would make your penis explode in 1955. Notable Clemson alumni include tabloid television anchor Nancy O'Dell and noted statesman/multiculturalist Strom Thurmond, for which the university's Strom Thurmond Institute is named ... I think.

You might remember the touching story of Ray Ray McElrathbey, the Clemson reserve tailback who was receiving assistance from the NCAA after taking custody of his 11-year-old brother (their father is a gambling addict, the mother, into crack cocaine). Great story, makes Clemson sound like a happy place, Tommy Bowden a great guy, so on. So it was a surprise when McElrathbey said he was leaving the school. And now we know why: Bowden kicked him off.

Just to follow up quickly on the Duke/Clemson clock controversy on Thursday night, ACC officials have reviewed the tape (and here it is again, if they need any help) and after much careful consideration, have decided, "fuck it." More »

Therefore, if you watched any of that thrilling but frustrating Clemson-Duke game last night, you know that Duke won on a shot with .1 seconds remaining. This video convincingly shows how they shouldn't have had nearly that much time left. More »

We've been following the Clemson-South Carolina football bet killing very closely, as only now are telling details being leaked to the press. Instead of going over the original story again, we'll just mention that a 42-year-old guy named Jimmy shot a 43-year-old man named Ricky in the chest because of a $20 bet on the game. Frankly, we don't know how something like this could have happened, especially in light of these excerpts from the Charlotte Observer story: More »

In honor of the great Simpsons statement against seven-day waiting periods to buy weapons — "But I'm mad NOW!" — we present a distinct moment in college football history: The time a 42-year-old guy named Jimmy shot a 43-year-old man named Ricky in the chest because of a $20 bet on the Clemson-South Carolina game. Strange thing about it: Jimmy won the bet! More »
