2013 Returning Experience: Defensive Backs
The bad news is Clemson loses about 6,800 snaps in the defensive backfield. If you ask a lot of Tiger fans the good news is Clemson loses 6,800 snaps in the defensive backfield. Gone are Rashard Hall, Xavier Brewer and Jonathan Meeks, who all individually or collectively were the focal points of the fans ire [...]
2013 Returning Experience: Linebacker
The Tigers lost over 3,000 snaps of experience at linebacker as the 2012 season came to an end. That total is not as bad as it seems because while Corico Wright saw 1,737 of those snaps during his career, only 163 came in 2012. In 2013 the Tigers return 3 experienced linebackers, 3 with less [...]
2013 Returning Experience: Defensive Line
Clemson fans won’t have Malliciah Goodman to kick around anymore. Of course, Goodman teased the entire Clemson nation with what could have been with his performance in the Chic-Fil-A Bowl against LSU. Goodman’s loss is significant, if for no other reason than the experience factor. But Goodman is the only loss along a defensive line that [...]

Previously Posted Positions: Quarterback Offensive Line Running Back Wide Receiver Tight end is a position the Tigers haven’t had to worry about for several years.

2013 Returning Experience: Wide Receiver
Previously Posted Positions: Quarterback Offensive Line Running Back Prior to the dawn of the 2012 season I pegged Clemson’s wide receiver corps as one of the top 5 groups in the nation and I wasn’t disappointed. On top of that talent the only projected loss was steady, dependable veteran Jaron Brown. A loss, but yet not [...]
College Basketball
Brackets
I’ve spent about 10 minutes on college basketball this year, so I am no expert. But I still feel the need, as strange as that sounds, to make my picks this week. And here they are: I see the Final Four as Florida, Indiana, Duke and Ohio State, with Florida and Ohio State reaching the [...]
College Basketball Contenders as of February 7
These four teams appear to have a solid shot in March. All of these were in our first iteration of contenders back on January 15th and remain so 3 weeks later. Despite getting plastered by Arkansas the Gators remain the best, most efficient team in the land. One game a champion does not make. CBB02062013 [...]
First Look: College Basketball Contenders
Here are the half-dozen teams worth keeping an eye on in our first look at college basketball in 2012-2013 season. Though we are about at the mid-way point of the college basketball season it’ still very early in the conference season for most teams, so the numbers below will change vastly in the next several [...]
Wildcats Remain Cream of Crop
I’m calling my shot right now (kind of anyway) – Kentucky will take home the trophy this year. Team Conference W-L Off Efficiency Def Efficiency RPI Kentucky SEC 32-2 2 6 2 And if the Wildcats happen to stumble, other teams to “keep an eye on” are Ohio State and Kansas, both coming up [...]
