I will never figure out how to share images on this platform as long as I live.

But I ventured over to the Aggie board and I have to say, I enjoyed reading the tears and utter confusion by their members as they “thought Dabo didn’t use the portal”.

The portal victory today can’t be understated.

Cannot make it but want tigers in the seats!

Text your name to 828-606-3270 if you can use them.

And I'm including of course the spring portal window.

Just saw where they are going to a bowl game. Anybody have any insight as to why Jeff Scott was not successful down there?

SCAR // TEXAS

@Kentucky 31-6 // Kentucky 31-14
@Oklahoma 35-9 // neutral Oklahoma 34-3
TAMU 44-20 // @TAMU 17-7
@Vandy 28-7 // @Vandy 27-24

I’m not necessarily for the transitive property in CFB but with 4 game comparisons like this I think it’s much more worthwhile.

Naturally, we’re playing a road game and SCAR played us at home. Generally, however, we’ve performed better @SCAR then home and I’m not sure what to do with that.

This seems to show that Texas and SCar are very similar Offensively and Defensively but that SCar would probably beat them on a Neutral Field.

To our 110 Society Members –

As we come to the close of 110 Society's first full calendar year of operations, we want to thank you – without you, none of our NIL progress would have been possible. Our organization, which we founded because of our love of Clemson Athletics, provides meaningful NIL opportunities to Clemson’s student-athletes, which has become vital to competitive excellence. Thanks to you, we’re proud that 110 Society was able to partner with 176 Clemson student-athletes during 2024, and we look forward to more in 2025.

Our stated mission has been to start and organize a donor-oriented collective to support Clemson Athletics by creating a vehicle for donors to support individual student-athletes for NIL activity.

The tactics of our mission have evolved over the 12 months of our existence. As NCAA policies, state legislation, the House case settlement, and guidelines have evolved, the University's individual sports teams have been able to engage more directly. Now, 110 Society focuses on contracting, monitoring and paying the student-athleteswhile NIL valuations and negotiations will eventually transition to the athletic department as part of revenue sharing discussions.

From the beginning, IPTAY – Clemson's best-in-class athletics fundraiser – has answered the call in the assistance of raising donor funds for 110 Society, and has recently announced the ability to grant priority points for 110 Society donations, which now are recognized for IPTAY Priority Points. If you have any questions about this, please connect with an IPTAY staff member.

A priority for 110 Society from inception was to minimize operational and overhead costs to ensure the most money possible made it to our student-athletes. We are proud to report that in our first year of operations, 110’s overhead was less than 9.5%. That means more than90 cents of each donated dollar made it to our student-athletes. In2025, we expect that the overhead percentage will drop further to an estimated 5%, as we won’t have the start-up costs and will be less involved negotiations with the student-athletes as revenue sharing agreements become more common.

With the House settlement expected to formally be enacted on July 1, 2025, we are preparing for our role to evolve further, as the Clemson University Athletic Department and IPTAY will then be able to distribute revenue to student-athletes directly. Since more details have yet to be decided for how Clemson Athletics will fully operationalize within the parameters of the House settlement, we will remain an important piece of the holistic NIL solution that Graham Neff recently announced. This approach includes contributions from 110 Society, Clemson Ventures, ESM and IPTAY. And, so, we will need to stay nimble until the dust settles on these changes in the industry.

What we know for certain is that between now and June 30, 2025, 110 Society remains vital to Clemson Athletics and your continued generosity creates a major impact for our student-athletes. Please continue to support 110 Society by visiting 110society.com or contacting IPTAY at 1-800-CLEMSON or IPTAY@clemson.edu.

Go Tigers,

C.D. Davies
General Manager, 110 Society

A look at the top players in the playoff and how they got here:

Would love to hear everyone’s schedule. I have a wild 24 hrs. Leaving 5AM out of GSP tomorrow with a layover in the delta lounge. Brisket then hoping to see Pat Green play before the game.

Getting to see our tigers vs Texas for the first time in one of the gems of college football— can’t wait.

Riding with a Clemson roommate / fraternity brother from 20 years ago back to Dfw. 5am return flight out.

Wild trip but blessed to get to , can’t wait to see fellow tigers on the way.

I know we get on Clemson for letting off the gas, but Texas hasn't scored a third-quarter touchdown since Nov. 9 against Florida.

Since outscoring Georgia 15-0 in the third quarter (after going into halftime down 23-0), Texas has been outscored 48-13 in six third quarters.

Meanwhile, Clemson has been outscored 40-10 in the fourth quarter of the past three games (SMU, SC, Pitt).

Would you rather come play for Clemson or South Carolina? Assume that there are no family ties, biases, etc... and assume the money is equal (all though they can probably pay more)

5-10 years ago it was no brainer for Clemson but I'm not sure that's the case anymore. In the year 2025 I think the coaches and facilities are equal. There home atmosphere is better imo (partially because they host bigger games, and I don't think any of us are happy with some of the changes to our gameday). As a fan, the ACC is nice because its an easier path to the playoffs. But if you're a hyper competitive young man, you want those juices flowing every gameday so they would obviously prefer playing in the SEC. Them pulling in the majority of the top in state recruits is what had me thinking about the topic and maybe some of you shouldn't be so surprised by the traction they are picking up.

Now that we’ve wrapped the regular season, what is your assessment of how we did? I’ll break it down by position/coach.

QB - Cade had a really good year. Over 3000 yards passing, around 3500 total yards and 36 TDs with only five picks. I think maybe only one fumble so cut down on turnovers significantly as well. Still too inconsistent overall though. Missed open guys too much and made dumb mistakes that cost us. He definitely took a big step in his development though and you have to give Riley credit for that too. Overall I’d give this position a B.

RB - Mafah had a thousand yard season and for a big chunk of the year was one of the best in the country. But he wore down throughout the year and was a liability at the end. This is poor management by the coaching staff, either by not recruiting better talent, not developing that talent or not managing snaps better. Inexcusable not to have a second option and use that option. We ran Mafah into the ground and he was a shell of himself the last few weeks. Grade - C

WR - significant improvement from last year. Tonio was the first WR with double digit TD’s since Tee. Still has an outside shot at 1000 yards for the year. Wesco and Moore made significant contributions with both around 30 catches and 500 yards. Again, though, still disappeared for stretches when we really needed them or dropped balls when we absolutely had to have it. Very improved but can’t go higher than a B.

TE - Brinny is who he is. A very good pass catching TE but a liability blocking. Maybe should just include him in the WR category but he had a good year from that aspect. Seemed like OPH was really coming along but then he was non-existent at the end of the year. He looks like he could be a big time threat both catching and blocking in the future. Probably a low B to high C here mainly due to inability to block and not bringing OPH along further.

OL - has to be an A given everything they dealt with. Significant improvement from last year and Luke figured out a way to patch together some units with major injuries in some key games. Really impressed with the job he did under tough circumstances.

DE - Parker had double digit sacks and really flashed a couple games. Hard to be harsh on him when we also found out he was dealing with some medical issues too. Lawson made some strides here too which was encouraging. Overall the group was not great though. I would give it a C only due to Parker having a good year statistically.

DT - this group also dealt with a lot of injuries so it feels harsh to grade them too tough but, man, it felt like this would be the strength of the team and nightmares of teams running straight up the gut over and over still haunt me. C.

LB - honestly I have no idea how Carter is a Butkus finalist. The linebackers were out of place all year, slow to the ball and soft when tackling. Brown at least looked like a physical specimen who would bring the wood but for the most part looked like he had no clue where he was supposed to be. Coaching was abysmal here. D.

CB - again there were some nice flashes by Terrell or Hampton here and there. Anyone else was often a liability and even Terrell seemed to regress at the end of the year. High C to low B.

Safety - other than Mickens just god awful. Venables is way too slow. Griffin has no physicality. Jones appears to have some gifts but has no clue what he’s doing. Just a mess. D.

Offense Overall - again, there was some improvement here but we looked pretty bad against the good competition and that’s not acceptable. C.

Defense Overall - few bright spots in my opinion and looked poorly coached. Low C to D.

Special Teams - punting is god awful. We don’t rush punts or set up a return. SIX field goals blocked and our FG block team regularly puts five guys off the line to protect against a fake so we never actually try to block it. If there was a grade lower than an F this would be it.

Overall - Dabo continues to oversee a program that is trending downward. He has made some changes and some have worked and some haven’t. I won’t pretend like I have the answers but some more major changes likely need to happen if we want to be elite again. Going into the year I said anything less than 10-2, ACC championship and/or playoff appearance would be a failure. We still technically have a shot but it’s hard not to view a year in which we lost every meaningful game, including two at home, as a failure. Overall C.

UGA is near the top (as usual) with 28. Penn State comes in second at 27. Ohio State has 26. Washington (which was decimated in the portal) took the most at 29. Our fine feathered friends in Columbia took 25. As did the Damsels of South Bend.

Outside of Washington, this is just take and separate the wheat from the chaff. Beamer is copying Kirby's playbook and UofSC's graduation rate (which is top 25) will follow. The NCAA needs to at least resume the 25 cap. Maybe you give teams like Purdue and Washington an exception when there is a coaching changeover. Otherwise, change the formula used by the NCAA for graduation. Taking scholarships away from a 105 cap will be a lesser punishment.

Clemson's 2024-25 shock the world tour starts tomorrow at DKR stadium in Austin TX round 4 PM. Clemson wins 31-30

Oklahoma will be much improved next year. Probably a playoff contender

Heldt is a great start. Need a LB or Two and maybe some DBs.

Won’t see it often. Last time was in the 70s. I know I have seen one, maybe the last one. Also was the Chargers.
But Dicker just did it. A 50 year event.

and Smith too. But man, its hard not to feel frustrated about the past 3-4 years and Dabo's stubbornness and refusal to use the portal to plug holes. It's not too little too late, but damn it's close.

The sport is so much better off. Glad we got here. Things are definitely under control. Not out of hand at all. It’s just kids demanding FMV…

JK. It’s a joke. Dude had 8 catches for 123 yards and 0 TDs. Life is going to be hard after football for some of these kids. We’re doing them a huge disservice.
