It's mid year and lots of Tiger fans are slowly unpacking their Clemson
basketball gear, hoping for another great season by Coach Oliver Purnell and
the boys. It's doubtful many of the Tiger faithful expected to be talking too
much basketball before the end of bowl season.
Unfortunately, things haven't gone according to plan. Unless your plan
consisted of, losing three out of your first four ACC games, removing Head
Coach Tommy Bowden, releasing Rob Spence, and getting roughly four months to
debate the next head coaching choice. The dreams of going to a BCS bowl game
have quickly turned into hopes of ending the season with a winning record.
Clemson has yet to break through against their relatively new ACC opponent
Boston College. In each of the last three years, the Eagles have been the
stumbling block, that has kept the Tigers from an Atlantic Coast Conference
Championship game. At least that's not one of our worries this weekend, that is
if someone actually wants to win the Atlantic side of the conference.
In the three previous match ups, Boston College has been the more physical
team. The Eagles have played better football during the critical situations.
College football comes down to making plays and in this series Boston College
has dominated that department. In order for Clemson to turn things around this
week, Coach Swinney will have to pack a 55 gallon drum of...well, you know.
After going "All In" with a pair of tens, the flop comes up all paint. It looks
like there might still be an inside straight draw on the table. Clemson enjoys
a week off, and some much needed recuperation time, in preparation for their
toughest stretch of the season. Coach Dabo Swinney has made an early impression
on many of the Tiger faithful, and has re-energized this team for the final
games. If Clemson expects to keep it's hopes of reaching a bowl game alive, a
win at Boston College is necessary.
I expect most fans to stick by this team for the remainder of the year, but a
loss next week would leave Clemson with it's longest losing streak since the
1970 football season. That's not exactly what Tiger fans expected to be
discussing in late October.
This week, I weigh in on the head coaching position, and the benefits of the
recent change. It appears Tiger fans are more than willing to go "All In", but
bigger things are expected soon. Only time will tell if the turn card will
leave Clemson and Coach Dabo Swinney playing "On Tilt".
If Dabo turns out the be the answer, I wouldn't be upset. I just believe that
Clemson needs to make a statement nationally, and I am not 100% sold on THAT
statement being Coach Swinney. Have I been wrong before? Absolutely. I guess
will find out if Clemson takes a bad beat at on the river, but based on the
effort and enthusiasm against Georgia Tech, I bet there are side pots all over
TigerNet Nation.
THUMPED! Clemson gets knocked around by a tough Alabama team in the opening game
of the 2008 season. Can they bounce back and make it to the ACC Championship
game? El Swann discusses Tommy Bowden's 43 losses and looks at some interesting
trends.
Clemson (9-4) falls to Auburn in the Chick-fil-a Bowl 23-20.
Clemson basketball is off to a great start. Follow the Tigers through the ACC
campaign. The Tigers are currently 13-3 overall, and 1-1 in the Atlantic Coast
Conference.
