Starting LT and LG out. Backup LT taking the place of starting LT goes down. Back up LG moves to RG so RG can move out to RT so RT can move to LT and Trent Howard comes in at LG, and only Linthicum stays put.

Despite all this our fans can’t celebrate Cade hauling ass for a 51 yard TD to win the game?

I’ve never heard of that shuffling on an O-Line in my life. Some of you dipshits suck at life.

On the shower.

I noticed Dabo using it quite a bit, especially in the second half. Would this have anything to do with the issues teams are having getting their helmet coms hijacked? Or was it due to problems with the headset? Just curious because I’ve never seen something like that before.

Dear Folks

Since the Democratic Party and Biden Administration has flooded America with murderers , sex traffickers, rapists, robbers, gangsters and generally life long hardened gang criminals Americas need you legal American citizens to encourage these illegal immigrant gangs to leave the country.

Hope to hear that you American patriots will convince them now that Trump is President to leave the country and go back to the 3rd world hellholes they are bringing to America by using your charm school training

Denial at first but now in their anger admit they are OK with trying to steal an election through fraud

Have at it @iceheart08

Have at it @dpic73

And the rest of you election fraud deniers

The new American Gestapo at work.

Former Trump Department of Justice Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight on the Fox News Channel Thursday night to talk about the dawn FBI raid on his Northern Virginia home Wednesday. Clark said the agents made him go outside in his pajamas while they searched his house. Clark said twelve FBI agents, two Fairfax County police officers and an ‘electronic sniffer dog’ searched his house for over three hours. All his electronic devices were seized.

Clark said the raid was part of nationwide “Stasi-like” raids by the FBI on Republicans involved in helping President Trump to stop the steal of the 2020 presidential election.
Local news reports out of Nevada and Pennsylvania as well as the Washington Post, confirm the nationwide action by the feds.
Mediaite reported on the Clark’s appearance (excerpt):

“At what point can we say the Department of Justice, where you once served, is a political instrument, it’s completely out of control?” Carlson asked.
“Yeah, I think this is highly politicized and it’s also part, Tucker if you didn’t know it, of a nationwide effort yesterday,” Clark replied. “There were multiple states where multiple people were roughly simultaneously raided for their electronic devices. And that obviously requires a high level of coordination.”
Clark added, “I just think we’re living in an era that I don’t recognize and increasingly, Tucker, I don’t recognize the country anymore with these Stasi-like things happening.”

KLAS-TV reported on FBI raids in Nevada (excerpt):

FBI agents served a search warrant Wednesday on Nevada’s top GOP official, sources told the 8 News Now I-Team’s George Knapp.
Agents seized the cell phone of state Republican chairman Michael McDonald, reportedly as part of an investigation into the fake elector scheme initiated at the end of the 2020 presidential election.
A second search warrant was issued for state party secretary James DeGraffenreid, who also signed the document, but FBI agents could not locate him Wednesday, sources told Knapp.
In December 2020, the 8 News Now I-Team reported the Nevada Republican Party’s six electors signed paperwork signaling their support for former President Donald Trump in a symbolic ceremony devoid of any legal merit, which was held in Carson City and coincided with the official state-sanctioned tally on Dec. 14, 2020.

The Washington Post reported on more raids (excerpt):

The Justice Department’s investigation of the Jan. 6 attack ratcheted up Wednesday as federal agents dropped subpoenas on people in at least two states, in what appeared to be a widening probe of how political activists supporting President Donald Trump tried to use invalid electors to thwart Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory.
FBI officials confirmed to The Washington Post that agents conducted court authorized law enforcement activity Wednesday morning at two locations — one the address of Brad Carver, a Georgia lawyer who allegedly signed a document claiming to be a Trump elector, and another the Virginia home of Thomas Lane, who worked on the Trump campaign’s efforts in Arizona and New Mexico. The FBI officials did not identify the people associated with those addresses, but public records list each of the locations as the home addresses of the men.
…FBI agents delivered a subpoena to Lane Wednesday morning at his home in Virginia, according to a person who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. After leaving the Trump campaign, Lane has worked for the Republican National Committee’s election efforts in Virginia, this person said. Public records list an address for Lane in south Arlington, and an FBI spokeswoman confirmed agents conducted “court-authorized law enforcement activity” at that address this morning.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported on yet another FBI raid (excerpt):

FBI agents interviewed the chairman of the Allegheny County Republican Party at his home early Thursday morning as part of a nationwide investigation into former President Donald Trump’s attempt to send alternate electors from key swing states to Washington to overturn the 2020 election.
Agents spent about an hour at party chairman Sam DeMarco’s Oakdale home and served him with a subpoena for communications between him, members of the Trump campaign and legal team, and Trump electors in Pennsylvania, Mr. DeMarco told the Post-Gazette on Thursday.
“I’ll certainly comply with their request,” Mr. DeMarco said. He has until July 8 to turn over emails, texts and any written correspondence, he said.
Mr. DeMarco said he didn’t have direct contact with Mr. Trump’s campaign or the legal team led by Rudy Giuliani, just with the other 19 Trump electors.

As mentioned in the Clark interview, Trump-hating, fired corrupt former FBI agent Peter Strzok commented on the raids and mocked Clark, “From Virginia to Nevada today, several coordinated subpoenas and search warrants served and executed by the FBI and DOJ surrounding fake elector scheme. Sure doesn’t feel like a “nothingburger.”…“Federal investigators descended on the home of Jeffrey Clark, a former DOJ official, on Wed in connection with the department’s sprawling inquiry into efforts to overturn the 2020 election” Increasingly large FBI/DOJ scope. Even more activity to come?

UPDATE: Late Thursday night, WDIV-TV reported from Michigan (excerpt):

Federal agents have been serving subpoenas to the 16 people who signed their names as fake electors for former President Donald Trump in an attempt to give Michigan’s electoral votes to Trump instead of President Joe Biden, who won the state.
Michele Lundgren, whose name appears as one of those fake electors, says she never signed any such document.
“I didn’t even know what an elector was, let alone a fake elector,” said Lundgren. “I signed nothing but what appeared to be a sign-in sheet.”
Lundgren was invited to a Michigan GOP meeting in Lansing to help Trump.
After cake and coffee, the so-called sign-in sheet came out. Lundgren says federal agents came to her home to ask questions about the fake elector plot; she welcomed them and answered their questions.
Lundgren has been subpoenaed to appear on July 8 in Washington D.C. She said she will comply.
It is likely all of the 16 have been subpoenaed.

For this class it seemed like we had momentum early, faded in the spring then regained it at the end of May all for it to seemingly come crashing down in 2 weeks. it seemed like the following prospects were leaning our way and now trending away; Watts, Davis, Archie, Sanders and possibly Mills. Are all of these cases where we just arnt playing the NIL game, or Clemson brand not being what it once was?

Once again great job voters of PA!

man I miss having receivers like D Hop and Higgins…

sometimes I wonder what would have happened if we didn’t have the covid year. I feel like that year changed clemson. recruiting. our standing and dominance.

It would be glorious because it was fun after listening to Mouth Carolina fans talk shit January through August.

This year it’s going to be fun after we whoop that ass to talk shit to other Clemson fans.

Maybe we skip MMI just for this week? I think we could all use a break and the board seems awfully fragile 😂

Fellow tigers,

Looking to take my 2 boys to their first game in the Valley. Looking for 3 lowers. Chris - sorry if this is in the wrong forum. Thanks all!

Clemson - Boise State Game Notes/Preview/Stats, etc (lengthy PDF File)

Know we have a lot of Citadel grads on here who maybe can provide some insight.

I noticed their leading rusher is the QB and the QB has about 1600 passing yards.

Are you not entertained?

Well, maybe a little too entertained, truth be told in Clemson’s 3-2 victory over Cal in the ACC Semifinals on a rainy Thursday evening in Cary, NC.

The Tigers (14-2-3) jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first half, but saw that evaporate in the matter of 17 minutes of the second half before this wizardry from ACC Freshman of the Year Ransford Gyan. Cal’s Cinderella run was ended, as well as their season as they failed to finish .500 in D1 games – the Golden Bears (8-8-2) would have likely been dancing had they gotten to overtime regardless of the result.

For the title, the No. 2 seed Clemson will face fifth-seeded Wake Forest (10-4-6) at noon on Sunday in Cary. Wake disposed of nine-seed Virginia 5-1 on Thursday. It'll be the fourth ACC finals appearance for the Tigers in the last five years.

Quickly, a hat tip to Cal. They were a tough foe that I didn’t grow to hate in the game. We know the whiny floppers of Duke, Stanford, UNC, etc. Cal played the game straight and I applaud that.

Wahabu Musah – another freshman for the Tigers – had two assists on the night. The aforementioned Gyan goal and was credited with assisting junior Tyler Trimnal’s goal to get the scoring started (I know it’s semantics, but Gyan’s ball to Musah was masterful and thought he might get the hockey assist).

Senior Alex Meinhard continued his scorched earth streak with his 11th goal of the season by fighting many Golden Bears with his bare hands like it was the circus. The BEstonian from Estonia has eight (!) goals in the last eight games with one assist.

Said this about Meinhard after the Stanford game:

Glad to have Meinhard back on track after a midseason funk. Going to need him over the last 8 games of the year!

One game down, seven more to go!

Now, for the reality punch that Cal gave us to start the half. We were bad. Patrick Donovan and Adam Lundegard would have physically fought their teammates I think after Cal opened the second half with a torrent of shots.

The Golden Bears first goal was their fourth shot of the half in the 51st minute – Paddy D had to save two of those. Cal tied it up 11 minutes later as we still hadn’t come out of the tunnel to start the second half.

In all, Cal had 11 shots in the second half to our four. I think it was our worst half of soccer, defensively maybe all season – it’s right there with the first half against Queens and first half against VT where we also gave up two goals. Bad tackles, bad clearances, bad positioning, bad effort, just bad everything.

You can go back to the game thread to see one player in particular had a really off night. Not that it was all on him, but both goals and 10 of the Bears 17 shots came during his 42 minutes on the field.

If that repeats itself against Wake Forest will demolish us.

Prick of the Game is Mother Nature. While we are 3-0-0 in the postseason, all have been wet and rainy and wetter. WakeMed Soccer Park has an amazing surface, but it’s not enjoyable to watch a game that your not in control of the elements. Good news is that it’s supposed to be upper-60s and sunny on Sunday.

So, about those Demon Deacons… they are a really good squad that is finding their groove. Since Clemson beat them 1-0 on Sept. 20, Wake is 8-1-3 – the lone blemish being a 3-0 loss at SMU. Wake avenged that loss by knocking SMU out in the second round of the ACC tournament via PKs. Wake has outscored their opponents 22-10 in those 12 games.

Cooper Flax is the name to hate for Wake. The talented junior has scored eight goals – four via PKs. Basit Umar and Babacar Niang each have four goals, while Dylan Borso has four assists.

In goal, All-ACC second-team keeper Trace Alphin has a 1.05 GAA on the season with a save percentage of .716. In the last 12 games, those numbers have moved to 0.83 GAA and a .778 save percentage.

In the first game back in September, Clemson outshot Wake 19 (7)-13 (5), but the lone goal came from a Joran Gerbet penalty kick in the 53rd minute. Only two of Wake’s shots came inside the 18.

But I don’t think that matchup has anything to do with Sunday. Both teams are demonstrably different. We were coming off that 2-2 draw at Holy Cross and of Wake’s starting 11 against Clemson, only seven started against UVA on Thursday.

Wake – the preseason No. 15 team - deploys a 4-3-3 formation that has Flax and Umar in the midfield playing under the three forwards. There will be space on the wings that we need to take advantage of.

I think we are all interested in what Noonan decides to do on the left wing with Arthur Duquenne. He is such an asset going forward, but has had numerous defensive lapses. One option is Galen Flynn, who replaced Duquenne after Cal’s second goal in the 75th minute.

Flynn is a transfer in his first season at Clemson from Saint Louis via Fordham. In his first two years at Fordham, he started 23 games with four goals and five assists. After playing just one game in his third year there, the West Hartford, Conn., native transferred to Saint Louis where he started 14 games and had three assists for the Billikens (wasn’t going to not use their mascot – c’mon, it’s too great of a name).

Now a redshirt-junior at Clemson (I’m assuming Covid year and redshirt at Fordham his third season), Flynn has played in 15 games with four starts and has one assist. He started against Stanford Part 1, Loyola (Md.), Holy Cross and Louisville Part 1. The most minutes he played in a game this season, however, is 49.

In 2022, Flynn was named the Defensive, as well as, Creative Player of the Year with the Ocean City Nor’easters (again – too great to not use!) in the USL League 2. So, is he capable of playing that left-wingback position against a Wake Forest team that ranks second in the country in shots per game and first in shots on goal per game?

We might have to find out, unless Nathan Richmond is healed up. And this isn't calling for benching Duquenne, who coincidentally didn't start versus Cal, Noonan knows what to do and we will be good with that. However, after some miscues from the Frenchman against Uof, Flynn got the start in the next game against Stanford.

Clemson and Wake have played 56 times with Wake holding a 26-21-8 edge. From 2003 to 2013, Wake was 10-0-3 before Clemson finally won in 2014. Wake won another five in a row from 2016-19. Since 2020, Clemson is 4-3-1 against Wake but has been outscored 11-8 thanks mostly to a 6-1 win for Wake in 2022.

It’s going to be a tight game. Since Bobby Muuss took over the Wake program in 2015, Clemson has scored more than one goal in a game just five times over 15 games.

Just win, baby.

Clemson moved up to 14th in RPI and Wake is directly behind at 15th. I think win or lose on Sunday, we are in a good spot for a top 8 seed in the NCAA tournament.

Games to keep an eye on between now and Sunday, as it relates to RPI:

• (6) Penn vs. (79) Brown – Ivy League Semifinals (Friday)
• (20) Cornell vs. (44) Princeton – Ivy League Semifinals (Friday)
• (4) Hofstra vs. (76) UNCW – CAA Championship (Saturday)
• (2) Denver vs. (38) Kansas City – Summit League Championship (Saturday)
• (7) Dayton vs. (37) Saint Louis – A10 Championship (Sunday)
• (5) Georgetown vs. (16) Providence – Big East Championship (Sunday)
• (13) Marshall vs. (17) West Virginia – Sun Belt Championship (Sunday)
• (1) Ohio State vs. (27) Michigan – B10 Championship (Sunday)
• Ivy League Championship (Sunday)

The ACC has eight of the top 19 teams in the RPI and is projected to get nine teams total into the tournament, with Virginia Tech as the first team out and Notre Dame just outside as well. The selection show is 1 p.m. on Monday - streamed live on ncaa.com.

Go Tigers! Beat Wake!

Somehow manage to knock off the Cocks, does their success get us an at large bid?

in this class in your opinion ?

My idea is to take the refs off the field. Let them watch the games on a screen like the rest of us. I'd give them better camera views, but that would be a benefit to fans as well, so it's a win win.

The average fan can call the game better just watching on regular TV, most of the fouls are obvious.

Something has to be done about this. Sports have done a great job of integrating technology to help the athletes, but they haven't done a damn thing to help the refs. Oddly enough tennis takes the gold for that, the human element has been taken out of the game altogether at the highest level. So much better knowing the person who won actually won.

Dabo said he's banged up and he'll be "a little day to day, I'm sure."

"Hopefully he'll bounce back quick."

And why we avoid the middle of the field.

I swear it seems like when we use it we move the ball but then we go away from it for halves it seems.

All those quick outs to the sideline do nothing.

Anyone notice how we look when we attack vs when we throw 3 yard outs. It’s amazing how conservative we go during games

On paper for the season, Clemson is the better football team. But (Captain Obvious comment) the last three games, the offense is underperforming by a significant margin. Over the same stretch, South Carolina's offense is modestly overperforming compared to the season. This has all the makings of a tight game decided by one possession. Go Tigers.
