• (18) Clemson 75, Georgia Tech 74. The Tigers are the only undefeated team left in the country after just about every team in the Top 25 lost yesterday.

The Pac-Man Jones/George Jones Collaboration
Some kind of incident involving an all-terrain vehicle, Pac-Man Jones, and his neighbor, country music legend George Jones, has forged a friendship between Pac-Man and George (no relation). I expect them to release an album together very soon....
