It’s been 34 years since Clemson last played for a national title in football. Back in 1981 Clemson played and won the national title. FoxSports has an interesting article looking at what the world looked like back in 1981. How times have changed!

Judging by CBSSportline’s college football “experts”, Clemson should just forfeit the National Championship game with Alabama, avoid the embarrassment and finish the year ranked #2. Alabama is a very good team, with an outstanding defense, but they are beatable. They lost to Ole Miss, nearly lost to Tennessee, and struggled in season ending games against …

Monday night Clemson will be playing for the National Title against Alabama. Players like Deshaun Watson, Shaq Lawson, Wayne Gallman, and Mackensie Alexander are some of the recruits that have made the Tigers a National Title Contender. Clemson didn’t become a national championship caliber team overnight though. Mired in mediocrity, and a reputation for underachievement …

So I turn on ESPN to see a discussion of the National Title Championship. There aren’t a lot options here for pre-game analysis. You have FOX, but I won’t watch any network analysis that employs Clay Travis… period. That doesn’t mean ESPN is a shining star with their Title Talk. The first thing I see …

This past week I traveled down to the Orange Bowl as a Clemson Tiger fan. I went to the ACC Championship in Charlotte last year to root on Georgia Tech. One thing has become very apparent to me. The College Football Playoff isn’t expanding without a complete paradigm shift in how the college football post-season …

In the one of most nauseating headlines I’ve ever seen on ESPN, the national title game between Alabama and Clemson is being called an “Glorified SEC Title Game”.  I’m a little confused by this, because isn’t Clemson in the ACC? If Kentucky and North Carolina met for the national title in basketball would it be …

It was odd that a Clemson team ranked #1 and 13-0 had so many doubters heading into their Orange Bowl National Semi-Final with Oklahoma. I wonder if many of these doubters really watched the Tigers this year. Well they probably realized now that Clemson is one of the two best teams in the country after …

Was Florida State lacking motivation against Houston? Did they not respect Houston? It doesn’t matter. I don’t buy those kind excuses when you lose a bowl. If you get beat you get beat. Florida State flat got beat by the Houston Cougars today. Houston was better prepared, they executed better, and they were the better …

When Bobby Petrino came back to Louisville, everyone agreed Petrino was very good coach. What we wondered is when would the Cardinals begin to take on the identity we expect from a Petrino coached team. You know what it looks like – creative offensive play calling, and really good quarterback play. They’ve been pretty good …

Let’s not sugar coat this Belk Bowl loss for NC State. They were whooped up and down the field by Mississippi State Wednesday. I thought this would be difficult game for the Wolfpack to win, but I didn’t expect it to be so un-competitive. This program and their head coach Dave Doeren are at a …

When you’re North Carolina the opportunity to be a great football team doesn’t come around often. Maybe there will be more opportunities in the future, but history says those chances will be limited. UNC had a chance Tuesday to be great, and they absolutely blew it. You wouldn’t have known the way UNC’s D was …
