Super Tuesday I used to really get into politics but have soured on the subject. My old age leads me to be more cynical. However, I am still amazed that in presidential politics a candidate can be so far behind in the national polls but do well in two...

Duke Game Review I needed that. I think we all did. I think Clemson Nation needed a nice win that featured dominance. It was nice to see Clemson dominate an opponent physically. I enjoyed watching the offense hit on big plays in the running game...

The game last weekend started out like it was going to be a good day for the boys in orange but that quickly came to an end when FSU intercepted a Harper pass for an easy TD. Another turnover!! Clemson is last in the league in turnover margins. With the...

Future Schedules I had a caller on my radio show the other day asked about the schedule the next coach at Clemson will face. The ACC has released the football schedule through 2015. Dates are not released until January each year. I think I have most of...

If this past weekend's game is any further indication of Clemson's mental state, it's not looking good for the remainder of the season. I would venture to guess that the odds of Clemson going 0-3 are slightly higher right now than of going 3-0. To make that...

It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World What a crazy, eventful 48 hours it has been. I would have never thought that I would be spending two days playing Columbo but I have recently found out that I could not cut it as a private eye. After spending most of...

FSU Game Review I think one word can summarize the trip to Tallahassee—DEMORALIZING. It was demoralizing to see an FSU squad that has not been able to run the football on Clemson in several years, rack up 266 yards on the ground. It was demoralizing...

Yeah, I know I should be in marketing. I couldn't resist, maybe ESPN will pick up on it before Saturday. I mean, my photoshop of Rendrick Taylor as "The Hulk" seemed to catch on. Why wouldn't I expect "Dabo'wden Bowl I" to be next? I must be in the wrong...

The Climber I think about coaching candidates at Clemson too often and too long throughout each day. We are about a month away from finding out who will be the head coach of the Tigers but it still consumes my thoughts all day, every day. I think about...

Election Day; BC; Coaching Search I had some thoughts on a variety of topics I wanted to share this Thursday: *Can we hurry up and get this election over with? The negative campaign ads are depressing. Also, a personal note to both parties-I don’t need...

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...

Micro vs. Macro Dabo Swinney has me more excited about the Boston College game this weekend but I still can’t get my mind off of the big picture. I try to focus on daily activities and focus on the normal work week but my mind always wonders to the first...

”Every Coach in the Country Right Now Wants Clemson” The buzz around Clemson this morning came out of Birmingham, AL. So what does a column in the Birmingham News about a speaker at the Birmingham Touchdown Club have to do with Clemson and why is it...

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...

My Agenda I have hosted over 2,500 radio shows and have written over 600 blogs on this site but have recently realized that I must be a awful communicator. Good communicators express their thoughts clearly and their message gets across with little...

Dabo's Tall Task I am a little late this afternoon in posting the blog. I sometimes write the blog the night before but last night I went to Greenville for the Clemson-Furman soccer game and was disappointed in the Tigers 2-1 overtime loss. And most of...
