Obviously Parker is a major weapon but I am interested on your other bell cow guys.

On our side of the fence, RB Lance Dunbar is our main weapon and if you can box him in it will be tough for us. I think Dunbar will be one of the best running backs you face this season.

Our offensive line is the most experienced we have had in a long time. I think I read they have 89 starts between them. At RB Andre Ellington is a smaller quick shifting type back. He averaged 7.5 ypc as a back up last year. Jamie Harper is a larger back that is the faster of the two but not as shifty making people miss. He will catch some passes also. FB Chad Diel is a road grader, but rarely gets a carry.

TE Duane Allen is very athletic and has great hands, but he hasn't had the production last year as a freshman backing up Sr Palmer. We have a few WR's that have shown flashes of greatness, but they haven't shown it every play. All but one WR spot is up for grabs so far this year with no player rising above the rest.

Defense is full of depth everywhere except LB. We are in better shape there than we were last year, but still lack a lot of experience. DE Bowers, DT Jenkins and S Mcdainel are the headliners.

Thanks Clem! You expecting them to smashmouth us? That's my guess and then the play action once we load up. Also how are yalls special teams?

Last year our special teams were great in the return game, but C.J. Spiller and Jacoby Ford are in the NFL now. People didn't kick to Spiller much. He returned only 22 kicks and I think he returned 5 of them for TD's. The rest they kicked out of bounds. Gilcrest is set to return kicks this year and he did that some as a freshman. I expect the return game is weaker this year than last. On coverage we gave up to much last year and I can't tell you we wil be any better this year until I see it.

A walk on kicker has been the most solid in practice so far. The punter is reliable and played last year.

I hope the weather will be good. Last year we were cursed with monsoon rains. One game my son and I were at there were two one hour lightning delays.

At least this makes me feel slightly better about our special teams situation.

Where's somewhere in the 'college budget' to get a good meal? And maybe a place or two for me and some friends to get a frosty beverage afterward?

I think I'm going to be hitting up Mellow Mushroom before or after the game

If by good meal you mean a meat and veggies maybe someone else could give info. I usually hit the Tiger Town Tavern for a few bourbons then walk to the ESSO Club,(it is near the stadium), and get a hotdog plate and a few beers. They have other food also, but I like their hotdog chili plus with fries it holds me all day and isn't expensive. There a lot of eating places out near the interstate, but with the traffic they hard to get in and out of. Clemson is a small town that swells to the 3rd largest city in South Carolina on game day. Be patient.

For parking there is a YMCA off the lake about 2 miles from the stadium. They have a huge field and charge $10.00 to park. They also provide a free shuttle servivce to and from the stadium.

Do you like trying new restaurants? Do you like only the finest food?

Some of our fans really enjoyed your look-a-likes that "GoMeanGreen" posted. The responses were scattered over other boards a couple of weeks ago unfortunately.

Come on over to the Tigernet. B)

Hey you will have fun in Clemson. There is a first game parade Friday at five or six. Lots of fans and students. Everything in Clemson is on three or four streets about five miles total. Bars are all downtown with exception of the ESSO club a Clemson tradition. Good parking at the YMCA. Paws Diner is a meat and veggie place and cheap. Higher priced is (Pixie and Bills) and Calhoun Corners, but they give you forks to eat with...jk. Reservations a must there. You can usually get food and drinks from about any Clemson tailgater. We are a friendly bunch and want you to have a good time in Clemson. Get there early and wonder around all the tailgaters and have a blast!

The YMCA is actually a seneca address...

Google Maps has it listed as YMCA Circle, Seneca, SC

      Surrendering ourselves to a G5 playoff would be disastrous. It would give the P4 all the ammo they need to effectively remove the automatic bid for the highest ranked G5 champ. The correct solution, in today's environment, is to maintain the automatic G5 bid for the main playoffs and have a mixed G5/P4 NIT style tournament as Pernetti suggested. Don't take, add. Wouldn't be a bad idea to allocate future "NIT" and playoff spots per conference based on their previous performances. They do this in Europe for their European tournaments. Each league gets a coefficient rating based on the previous 5 years performance in European competitions. Not performing? You lose spots. Performing? You gain spots. So you know, the ACC going 1-9 so far, the Big12 going 2-7 back in 2022, the SEC going 6-8 and ACC going 2-4 both in 2021 would have some affect on that rating and future potential spots in the playoffs and NIT. No reason the ACC should get 2 spots next year considering this year's playoffs. The rating would just ensure transparency.

      Because the ever present lie of “we could be next” keeps G5 athletic directors, coaches, and fan bases docile. Keep the system just shy of outright exclusion of G5 programs and you can slowly strip away access while claiming that wasn’t the plan all along. It’s why the Power Ball lottery is so popular. Even though the chances of winning are exponentially small for everyone (the G5 programs), everyone will point to that one lady in a far off trailer park (Boise) who hit it big!

      Women at Wichita State (12/29/24)

      Time to see how good or bad this conference is. The women (8-4) travel north to face Wichita State (6-7) in the AAC opener. We beat the Lady Shockers in Denton last year, 72-68. At 8-4, the women are tied with ECU for third best nonconference record in the league. Only UTSA (9-2) and UAB (9-3) are better. However, at 17-7, UNT has the best combined men's and women's basketball record of any program in the AAC. Game is at 1pm on ESPN+.
