Naturally, UNC and Duke get cushy draws. Duke won’t play a good team before the Elite Eight. The other teams in their way? All are very weak relative to seed – #3 Xavier, #6 Purdue, #7 West Virginia, #10 Arizona. UNC doesn’t fare quite as well, despite their #1 overall seed. Still, only one decent […]
Clemson Tigers
Great things happen to our Tigers in Charlotte!
‘I made wolf signs for Hammonds’ FTs!” — StateFansNation blogger during Clemson’s semifinal win over Duke PLEASE let us take you back to 1995 and 1996 to the era when Rick Barnes – Carolina fan? – went toe-to-toe with a legend in Charlotte. (Additional link for ‘Barnes brought fire to the conference.’) Despite the love […]
Our Tigers will have great support today

Checking In On Our Tigers
Wow, these guys are a lot of fun to cheer for. I haven’t seen a team play this hard all year. Currently on a 35-10 run. Everybody on the team is committed to defense, even if they aren’t particularly big, quick, or athletic. Maybe we should have adopted them sooner, and shaved a few points […]
Q: What Now? A: SFN Adopt-A-Team!
Yes, as I predicted yesterday, Dr. Kevorkian visited the Pack dressed like the Miami Hurricanes. JJ Hickson put up a lonely fight, but the 2007-08 season is finally, mercifully over for NC State. But that doesn’t mean giving up basketball and waiting for football season! Our fun-loving SFN community can just adopt a team to […]
Tommy Bowden Cuts Ray Ray’s Scholarship (Updated 3/12)
The Ray Ray McElrathbey story is a special one. The Clemson reserve tailback gained national fame for taking custody of his 11-year-old brother Fahmarr in 2006, then received a rare waiver from the NCAA that allowed him to get assistance from the university and the public in taking care of his younger brother and still […]
Clemson Live Blogging – “Change the Mojo”
NC State and Clemson tip in a few minutes. After the UNC debacle, I told a friend that it would either be a huge psychological blow that Clemson would struggle to recover from, or Clemson would be pissed and focused, then steamroll the competition. Their woodshedding of Georgia Tech Thursday night answered that question. So, […]
Clemson Sets NCAA Record for Futility, Officiating Takes the Spotlight (Updated 3:15 pm)
Preface – Poor Oliver Purnell. Now he knows how Rick Barnes felt. And, we just happen to have a great little reminder for him of how Frank Haith felt last year that you can see by clicking here. We are updating what was once the ‘open entry’ for Sunday with more fallout from Sunday’s Clemson-Carolina […]
Miami Beats Clemson, Potentially Helps Pack
Frank Haith’s Miami Hurricanes beat Clemson, 75-72, today in a key ACC match-up that may ultimately serve to support NC State’s slim chances to earn an NCAA Tournament bid when the 2007-2008 college basketball regular season comes to a close. I definitely understand that Clemson will have a stronger mathematical impact on NC State’s RPI […]
State @ Clemson – “He Shoots from the Paw”
We will have more on the blog later today…but we wanted to link this video for everyone to see and realize (1) the value of having a sharp shooter in your program and (2) the importance for Courtney Fells (or Marques Johnson) to be able to use their athleticism and height on defense tonight. Clemson […]
