ESPN’s got this rivalry weekend and Clemson hoops feeling like a subscription trap — and Tiger fans don’t have time for the fine print. Clemson-Carolina baseball is here, Louisville’s in town with the Tigers sliding, and I’m telling you right now: don’t let the committee decide it — take it.
Rivalry weekend is here — Clemson and South Carolina open the Palmetto State showdown at Founders Park, plus Dabo kicks off spring ball, and the NCAA finally starts talking “significant penalties” for tampering.
Team USA hockey delivers Olympic gold, Jacob Bridgeman wins his first PGA Tour title, and Clemson hoops hits a critical stretch with Louisville and UNC looming. Plus, spring football gets underway and baseball rivalry weekend is next up on the calendar.
Clemson drops a third straight in ACC play with an ugly loss at Wake Forest, and Swanny asks the hard question — is this just a slump or something deeper? Tim Bourret joins to break down the basketball slide, Jamie Bradford brings elite college baseball insight ahead of rivalry week, and the Tigers look to regroup before Florida State comes to town.
Clemson baseball cruises past Charlotte, but high school hoops literally catches fire, coaches clash with media, and the NIL/portal conversation keeps heating up.
From “we don’t play those sports” to “rich people events,” Swanny breaks down the disconnect with the Winter Games, takes texts, then pivots to the coming wave of uniform ads, college sports chaos, and Clemson updates from hoops to baseball to recruiting.
The Tigers defended well enough to hang around in the first half, but the backcourt scoring slump continued as Duke pulled away in the second half of a Top 25 matchup in Durham.
Swanny reacts to the eye-popping $514 get-in price for Clemson at Duke and revisits his conversation with Tim Bure about just how tough Cameron Indoor has been for the Tigers historically. Can Brad Brownell’s group reset after the Virginia Tech loss and steal one in Durham? Plus, baseball opens at Doug Kingsmore with a weather-forced doubleheader, recruiting realities in the NIL era, and why Clemson’s pitch on the trail may need to evolve.
