A little bit of Little Bit

Gotta get out the door and head up to Boston this morning, but first I want to share some stuff from a conversation with Andre Ellington earlier this week.

Dabo's biggest wins

Since Saturday's big win over Georgia Tech, I've been pondering exactly where that victory falls on the list of Dabo Swinney's biggest in his 28-game tenure as head coach at Clemson.

Primer on Boston College: They stink

In hopes of being taken remotely seriously in covering this roller-coaster ride known as Clemson football, I try to study up on the other teams as much as I can.

ACC power(less) rankings, Week 9

So last week, we announced that the ACC had earned the right to strip the "less" from the weekly ACC power(less) rankings.

The halfway point

You know how, when you go on vacation and you pass the halfway point, you spend more time dreading the end of it than enjoying the rest of it?

(Or maybe that's just me.)

Steele's painful memory, and other Friday musings

I'm doubting Kevin Steele asked Paul Johnson to sign his cast after last year's ACC title game.

Speed bumps for Paul Johnson's offense?

Witness the first un-doctored photograph of Paul Johnson actually -- gasp! -- smiling.

Finding their identity

So much of the frustration Clemson fans have experienced this season stems from what unfolded Sept. 18 in Auburn.

ACC power rankings, Week 8

Most of you are past the point of becoming nauseated when various announcers, most notably Jesse Palmer and Craig James, genuflect in reference with each mention of the SEC.

Where they stand

The above picture is of Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, site of this year's ACC title game.

Too close for comfort

We've documented Clemson's colossal struggles in close games over the years.

Emotional roulette

Watching Florida State's trouncing of Miami, it was hard to believe this was the same Hurricanes team I saw in person seven days earlier.

Comparing Steele and Koenning

In yesterday's Tuesday press conference thoughts and observations, we pointed out some comparisons between Kevin Steele and his predecessor, Vic Koenning.

ACC power(less) rankings, Week 7

Raise your hand if you thought Florida State's defense would be better than Clemson's at this point of the season.

Life without Spiller

Clemson is 2-3 right now, and by all accounts that is not acceptable. That part has been covered.

Ranking the ACC's quarterbacks

Seems like every dude (and dudette) with a laptop comes up with lists and rankings during the offseason.

The receiving end

Before the season, Clemson's receivers took exception to the notion that they were a question mark.

Steele's numbers game

Yesterday, at his weekly sit-down with reporters, Kevin Steele came prepared with a vigorous defense of his defense's showing in Saturday's 30-21 loss to Miami.

ACC power(less) rankings, Week 6

Before the season, ESPN analyst Todd Blackledge told us there wasn't much difference between Miami's talent and Clemson's talent.

Desire disparity?

When you talk about all the reasons Clemson lost that game Saturday -- and there were many -- you must start with the six turnovers and the three busted plays on defense.

Butch Davis, we hardly knew ye

At this point it's hard to imagine Butch Davis remaining as North Carolina's football coach much longer.
