SPRING OBJECTIVES
The Tigers look set at the skill positions but must do some rebuilding in their offensive line. Defensively, there are some holes at linebacker, and finding depth at that position will be a priority, especially with returnee Cortney Vincent's status undetermined. The Tigers will be looking for four new starters in the offensive line. There also could be an interesting competition for field-goal duties after PK Mark Buchholz's inconsistent performance in 2007.

BUILDING BLOCKS
The Tigers have an explosive duo in the backfield in TBs James Davis and C.J. Spiller, and they have one of the most prolific passers in the ACC returning in QB Cullen Harper. WR Aaron Kelly is a big-play receiver. NG Dorell Scott, DT Rashaad Jackson and DE Ricky Sapp are among returning starters on defense. All four starters -- CBs Chris Chancellor and Crezdon Butler, FS Chris Clemons, and SS Michael Hamlin -- return in the secondary.

SCHEDULE SITUATION
The Tigers open the 2008 season where they closed out 2007 -- in Atlanta. Only this time the opponent will be Alabama, not Chick-fil-A Bowl foe Auburn. The Tigers play their first two conference games at home -- against North Carolina State on Sept. 13 and Maryland on Sept. 27 -- and have a couple of lesser foes (The Citadel and South Carolina State) mixed in their first five games.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"The injury is not serious. We know what James can do." -- Coach Tommy Bowden, after pulling TB James Davis out of spring drills when Davis sustained a slight shoulder injury.

I just got back from interviewing at Clemson for grad assistantships in the Student Affairs program (it's a masters degree).  I should be able to get in to the program and I am very excited to be a part of the Clemson community!  One question...how can I get my user name changed on this website?  I still like Florida, but I think it seems out of place since I'll be going ...(more)

I know the pre-season is full of hype and a bunch of unkowns, and give that spring training hasn't happened yet, it's still way early.  But given what we do know:

1.  You guys were a decent team last year and should remain one this year.

2.  The ACC is weak, and there's not a game on your shedule that if the line were set today you wouldn't be favo ...(more)

I believe it is Ricky Sapp. His potential is still unrealized as far as I'm concerned. Anybody want to change my mind?

Hey Clemson.  Listen.  I want to ask you to help Virginia Tech, Maryland, and Possibly FSU and Wake, to rally against West Virginia.  Please.  Go to WV Football message board, go to view all threads, and you'll see a thread that says, "HAHAHA Read this WV Bamaz."  Something like that.  We need your help.  Please reply back to me ASAP.  GO ACC.  ...(more)

This site rocks.  You get a free starting balance to bet on any games.  If you work it up to $10 or more, you can cash it out and get a check in the mail.  There are no catches and NO DEPOSITING is even allowed on the site.  If you lose your first bet, you don't even go to zero balance.  They give you your starting kitty over and over again.  This is a lot of f ...(more)
