TigerNet Talk #52 - 9/24/2008

The Clemson Tigers look to keep their winning streak alive in the second ACC
game of the season. A Clemson loss could send the Tigers and their fans into a
downward spiral for the rest of the season. A Clemson win this weekend would
leave the the Tigers standing 4-1, with an open week to prepare for their
Thursday night battle with Wake Forest. Every game from this point forward his
big, but for some reason I get the feeling this one has HUGE written all over
it.

TigerNet Talk #51 - 9/18/2008

TigerNet Talk host El Swann recaps the N.C. State game, and previews the S.C.
State game. Are Ron Cherry and Mike Wood related? I have seen some terrible
calls in my years, but last weekend might have taken the cake.

El Swann talks a little basketball too! Give it up for Coach Purnell! Should
Clemson lock him up for a long time? Swanny thinks so, how about you?

TigerNet Talk #50 - 9/11/2008

First of all, let me thank each and everyone of you for making TigerNet Talk
successful. It's hard to believe I have recorded 50 shows over the past four
years.I really appreciate those of you who have contributed to the show. Guys
like Steve Guerry, Dan Scott, Scott Rhymer, ShoelessCU, ClemsonJoe, Lee Hanna,
TigerinNYC, and Garrett Hammond. I am sure I have missed a few, but none the
less I appreciate each of you taking the time to help me.

I also need to say thank you to Crump and B-Meist. They gave me an opportunity
to share my passion for Clemson sports with the Clemson Nation. When I came to
them with the idea of a podcast, it was a very new concept. There were only a
handful of them out at the time. In fact, as far as I can tell, TigerNet Talk
was THE FIRST CLEMSON TIGER PODCAST!

Most importantly, I want to thank the loyal listeners to my program. Without
you, this program would have ended a long time ago. I hope you will continue to
listen, and also tune in to my other show Clemson Hotline on a radio station
near you. (It also has a podcast edition)

I look forward to the next 50 shows. I hope you do too.

Thanks for listening and GO TIGERS!

TigerNet Talk #44 - 11/15/2007

The #15 Clemson Tigers (8-2,5-2) play host to Atlantic Division rival #18 Boston
College (8-2, 4-2) in a battle for the right to play in the Atlantic Coast
Conference Championship Game.

The Clemson offense comes into this game on fire, scoring at will against their
past four opponents. Boston College on the other hand, has quickly spiraled from
their #2 ranked after dropping two straight games. Heisman hopeful Matt Ryan,
has not played well down the stretch and the Tiger defense hopes to continue
that streak.

This weekends contest could be considered the most important game in the
history of Death Valley. A Clemson Tiger victory this Saturday could usher in a
new era of championships. With the expansion of the ACC, Clemson has an
opportunity to become the team to beat on their side of the conference and
potentially play in multiple championship games in the future.

I fully expect the Tigers to be focused and prepared for this game, but it’s
going to take more than just the team to get it done. In many fans minds, a
loss would be unacceptable given the match-up is being held at home, in the
friendly confines of Memorial Stadium. If that is your belief, then it’s time
for you to do some delivering of your own. This is the game that our fans
remind the nation our stadium is the real “Death Valley”!

Too many Tiger fans have had their hearts broken by untimely losses over the
years. The glory days of the 80’s are only memories. It’s time for that to
change, it’s time for the glory days to return. This is the Clemson Tiger
team that will deliver us to the ACC championship game. Be loud this Saturday,
it’s OUR time!

TigerNet Talk #43 - 11/08/2007

The #20 Clemson Tigers (7-2,4-2) face off against Wake Forest (6-3,4-2) in a
game that will help decided the ACC Atlantic Division. If the Tigers can come
out of this gridiron battle with a victory, the stage will be set for Death
Valley to host its biggest game in nearly 20 years.

A Tiger win would force a winner-take-all match-up against the eighth ranked
Boston College Eagles next weekend. A Clemson Tiger loss would force Clemson
fans to further question the consistency of our program. Will this be another
season that ends with "coulda' woulda' shoulda's" or will a new era of ACC
success begin?

This is our time to show the college football world that we are back. This is
our chance to take hold of an opportunity that has slipped through our fingers
one too many times. This game is the reason we eat, sleep, and talk football
year round. Get off of your hands this week and make some noise! You owe it to
yourself to enjoy this one, but more importantly, you owe it to this team.

When many fans left their side, THEY PUSHED FORWARD. When many fans doubted
them, THEY BELIEVED. When many fans hoped, THEY DELIVERED!

Be there, be loud, be proud, wear orange, and get on your feet!

THEY DESERVE IT!

TigerNet Talk #42 - 11/01/2007

#24 Clemson (6-2, 3-2) takes on Duke (1-7, 0-5) in an ACC battle that could
decide Clemson's bowl fate. The Tigers travel to Duke after a huge road win at
Maryland last week.

The Tigers have four huge games remaining and look to close out a great season.
If they can win all four it would be a special season, but lose all four and
Tiger fans will be calling for changes.

Will another Tommy Bowden coached team lose to a team that they should beat?
Will Clemson's struggles at Wallace-Wade Stadium continue?
Can the Clemson Tigers work their way into a BCS bowl game with or without
winning the ACC Championship?

Tune in to TigerNet Talk with El Swann® to find out.

Thanks for listening and GO TIGERS!
