I have given 2 of my tickets to a friend who insists on paying. Won’t let it go. I want to charge just the ticket and not the seat tax.
TDO row D 15, 17. 4 rows up on 50.
Any ideas?

Any ideas on volunteer opportunities next week/weekend - cleanup, supplieS, etc?

Or best to stay out of area?

Downtown, if you are looking for somewhere to eat, Palmetto Smokejouse is open. Just had a great burger!

Has anyone been through downtown Clemson yet this morning? Myself and a few friends were going to be heading down there within the next hour or so. How many of the bars are open and actually serving drinks? Any info would help.

Thanks!

I am curious about updates from the lots, stores, traffic, # of people, vibe, etc...

Fist off thoughts and prayers to the people who are suffering and lives that have been changed. I am not trying to diminish the storm issues and concerns.

I am just curious as I plan to be there tonight for the game.

1 ticket for tonight. Free.
Just asking it gets used and not resold.
P NN 28
First name and number gets it.

Does anyone know if 88 from Powdersville to Clemson is clear? Or should we head for the interstate?

Wife saw something about 26 backed up around Newberry for downed trees.

But there is no way in hell we should even be thinking about hosting a game in this area tonight.

Shameful really to even consider it.

I hope they know what they're doing.....

Those of you traveling- good luck. You're gonna need it

A quick testimonial for Mullinax Tree Service (and this is not a paid advertisement, FYI):

Yesterday morning a neighbor bangs on our door and says there's a huge tree that's about to fall on our house (she saw the ground moving from her kitchen window).

Obviously it feels impossible to get a tree person to come because they're all overflowing with jobs.

I quickly ran 100 yards to a house where another tree service was busy with an all-day job getting three trees off a house. They came and looked at it and said: "Yeah, it's gonna fall" and said they could maybe get to it after they finished the job they were on.

Pretty helpless feeling,

I took a chance and called Will Mullinax, knowing the odds were pretty good he would just laugh at me and tell me good luck (or maybe politely tell me "Sorry sir but I have 300 people ahead of you").

But he indicated there was actually a chance, once he and his crews got past multiple life-threatening situations (people trapped in houses, people trapped in cars in creeks, and other assorted catastrophes that were far more important than my situation).

Finally late afternoon, after many anxious hours standing in my yard and watching the tree sway around, a crew arrived and they were able to cut it.

In talking with one of the crew members, they could've written a book from the stuff they saw all day yesterday. They were extremely courteous even at the end of an extremely trying and emotionally/physically draining day.

I've used Mullinax before, but now I'm a customer of theirs for life and I highly recommend.

Heads up that I was just driving from Clemson to Seneca.

The gas stations do not have power and the pumps won't work.

Some in the area are working but long lines.

Make sure you have a full tank if traveling to the game!!!

The Good: Clemson, which travels to South Bend on Friday to take on Notre Dame (7 pm, ESPNU), is second in the country in corner kicks per game with 8.12. The Tigers are also 8th in the country with 16.88 shots per game and 22nd in the country in Goals Per Game with 2.25 and SOG per game with 6.75.

The Bad: take out the game against RPI No. 184 Loyola (Md), Clemson is averaging just 1.71 goals per game – which ranks in a tie for 63rd in the country with teams like Charlotte, Dartmouth, Iona, Milwaukee.

The Ugly: do the math here. Lot of shots, not a lot of goals. Clemson ranks 143rd in the country in Shot Accuracy (SOG/Total Shots) with just 54 SOG on 135 shots (.400).

That has to be fixed in this stretch of games against conference foes at pre-season No. 2 Notre Dame (3-1-3), versus current No. 3 UNC (5-0-2) and at pre-season No. 24 Louisville (4-3-1).

We opened the season with scoring 3, 2, 2, and 6 goals in four games – we’ve scored 5 in our last four games. So, what has changed?

Again, take out the game against a way overmatched Loyola (Md.) – would you believe we’ve actually been more accurate in the last four games? Our Shot Accuracy over the last four games that we’ve scored all of five goals in is .375 (168th in the country), but is better than the .348 (191st) shot accuracy in the first three games where we scored seven goals.

We averaged 14.33 shots per game over our first three games and have averaged a full 18 over our last four games – again, I repeat: five goals over 72 shots the last four games. We scored seven goals over 43 shots in our first three games.

We just have to start finishing. If we take the Goals/Total Shots percentage from our first three games and apply it to the last four, we should have scored 11.7 goals in the four games. We scored five.

So, I am actually encouraged by these numbers, honestly. The goals are there, we just need to – say it with me – finish. We start scoring, and we’ll get back on track for the repeat as ACC and National Champs.

Why? I think our defense has figured things out. We’ve given up just two goals in the last 448 minutes of play – both at Holy Cross and both a bit fluky at best. Opponents have averaged just nine shots per game against us since the Stanford game.

That’s winning soccer. We just need to make the back of the net move more.

So, onto the Fighting Irish. A team we beat for the national title in December. Historically good to great program.

First off, good news is that Daniel PunchableFace Russo is graduated. Also gone are Eno Nto and his 11 goals from last year, as well as Paddy Burns. Burns and Russo were just those guys you didn’t like, unless they played for your team. Goalie Bryan Dowd and his 0.70 GAA are also gone from last year.

However, Matthew Roou, Bryce Boneau and KK Balfour are back. Boneau and Balfour each had seven assists last season and have combined for one goal and seven assists already this season. Roou, fresh off a 10 goal-3 assist campaign last year, has 7 goals in 7 games this year. Thirteen of his 27 shots have been on goal and he has scored two game-winners already this season.

Also bolstering their 2.14 goals per game average is sophomore Jack Flanagan with three goals in seven games.

ND is off to a slow start like us, partly because they are giving up 1.16 goals per game – nearly half a goal more per game than last year. But they will challenge our backline by being aggressive on their runs – they’ve been called offside 24 times in the seven games.

The Irish aren’t overly possession-based – they want to get into the attacking half and keep it there (bold strategy, right?).

Against Indiana (1-1) and Louisville (2-1), they lost the possession game 60-40 and 55-45, respectively. However, against Stanford, they deserved better than the 1-0 defeat. They outshot the Cardinal 15-4 and held 60% of the possession with well over half of that in the attacking half.

So, let’s talk Joseph Andema – the man between the pipes for our Tigers. In 46 career games, the junior carries a 0.826 GAA, while Clemson is 29-9-8 in 46 games over three years. The Ghanian native has also been very good against Notre Dame, recording 13 saves over the last three games against the Irish.

Going to need that again, I think. Also, be prepared for a physical game – 21 cards have been given out in the last three games between these two, including the last 6 going to a Clemson player. Overall, ND has 10 and we have 11.

Go Tigers! Beat ND!

Just rolled through campus, wanted to let you guys know what the scene is like

Overall, all things considering, the campus looks to be in really good shape. The barricades for stadium entry are up and tailgating lots seem to be wet and muddy, but no trees down that I saw. Campus has tree debris everywhere but no trees down that I saw except the tree in Clement’s front yard (which was cleared by 530pm when I was there.

Stadium and field looks like nothing even happened. This was from 5pm. Looking forward to tomorrow night!

Does downtown Clemson currently have power? Wondering if any of the shops and restaurants will be open at lunch today.

Eye rolling right over Clemson.

Going to be significant power outages, flooding, etc.

And emergency personnel needed elsewhere I would assume?

Guessing this type of discussion will start soon.

Anybody missing some chicken, South Carolina Department of Public Safety is looking for you.

My wife (we are in Mount Pleasant) was going to visit her Mother in Spartanburg this weekend. She has a reservation at the Comfort Suites on Candlenut Lane. Any idea about the power situation. Hotel is not answering the phone (not a good sign, I know).

Anyone know the status of traffic through Clemson this morning? Are the lights still out?

Have family supposed to come up from Orangeburg. Trying to assess the situation.

All the updates I’ve seen are from last night. I assume things have improved some.

Thanks.

Buddy just sent a pic. Downtown chimney rock along the waterfront is gone. Like a few piles of 2x4s left on that side of the road/the riverfront stuff. Wild. Chimney rock brewing co was a favorite of our’s. Feel bad for all those affected.

My Internet with spectrum is out, but I was hoping to use my phone as a hot spot to stream the game tomorrow night. My data is super slow right now with Verizon. I assume it's the storm, but wanted to see if anyone else is seeing the same issue.

Been highly entertaining so far and it's only gonna get better from here starting tonight with Timberwolves-Nuggets.

Pretty blown away at what a totally locked-in Kyrie Irving can mean to a team. That dude was amazing last night on both ends of the floor in the second half.

I hadn't watched much of Luka Doncic until the past week and ... holy smokes what a player.

GITT @Paul Strelow, @Grayson_MannTI and others!

The lake house we are staying at has no power and is on a well, so no water. Does anyone know when power is expected to be back on across the Clemson area? Trying to decide whether or not to leave Mount Pleasant now.
