Let The College Baseball Season Begin!!

With baseball season underway, the #14 ranked Tigers (3-0) with wins over Michigan State, Miami (Ohio), and Furman are looking strong. The #10 ranked Gamecocks (3-0) with a weekend sweep of Duquesne (which this is their last season of having a college baseball team) is also looking strong as they usually do. The Gamecocks and Tigers will meet up March 5-7 with the 3rd game being at a nuetral site in Greenville. So which team will be victorious? Carolina is known for being a homerun hitting team, while on the other hand Clemson does have their power hitters but nothing like Carolina, with hitters one through nine being able to change the course of a game with one swing of the bat. Never the less it will be a great 3 game series. Looking along way down the road, are these two highly ranked teams going to make an apperance in the College World Series? It might be a little to early to tell, but these two teams are making a great start to thier season.

Will the Tigers or Gamecocks make it to the Big Dance?

The question that is on every Clemson and South Carolina fans mind is will the Tigers or Gamecocks make it to the big dance (the NCAA tournement)?  With the Clemson Tigers 18-7 orverall and 6-5 in the ACC, they still might have a good chance to make it. With five games left with Virginia, at Florida State, Georgia Tech, and finally at #25 Wake Forest. These last five games don't look so tough, but which Clemson team will show up to play? Will the Tiger team show up that beat UNC earlier in the year or will the old Clemson team that had lost 4 straght show up. While the Tigers' road to the NCAA Tournement looking good with those five games left, the future for the South Carolina Gamecocks who are 14-11 overall and 5-6 in theSEC, does not look so bright. Their five remaining games are #18 Tennessee, at #2 Kentucky (which the Gamecocks pulled of the biggest upset in their history), Mississippi State, Alabama, and finally ending the season at #19 Vandy. If the Gamecocks do not win atleast two or three of those final games, they would have to almost win the SEC tournement which is highly unlikely for both teams to thier conference tournements. I have been proven wrong by both teams before, but time will tell the future for these to basketball teams.

How does the upcoming 2010 NFL Draft look for Clemson and South Carolina Players?

With the 2010 NFL Draft coming up, what Clemson Tigers and South Carolina Gamecocks will be looking for new homes? The four letter newtork's top 32 draft pics of 2010 has only one player from Clemson going in the first round in the top 15. That would be the highly talented C.J. Spiller, he is projected to be drafted the number 13th pick over all. Another site had him going 6th overall. C.J. Spiller was Clemsons' work horse this year earning Heisman Trophy honors and being selected the ACC player of the year. The South Carolina Gamecocks Eric Norwood is projected be the 91st pick overall. Since I am from Camden, South Carolina and I graduated with Thomas Austin, he is project to be the 311th pick over all.

Signing Day is Finally Over!

With the big day (Signing Day) over with, the Tigers and Gamecocks have some great recruits coming in this year. Here is just a little break down of what both teams are looking like with rankings from three different sites, thier top commitment, and finally a break down of how many five, four, and three star recruits each team got.

Will these numbers tell the tales for the up coming season? Witch in-state rival school will come out on top? I guess we will all have to wait until the first game of the season. So let all the smack talking begin!!!!

Marcus Lattimore Chooses South Carolina

If you have not heard already, the highly rated running back from Byrnes High School in South Carolina has choosen to attend South Carolina over Aurburn. Was that a smart move? We shall find out very soon.

With Clemson and Carolina both pulling off some big and much needed wins this weekend, the big question is will either team make the NCAA tournament or the NIT tournament? With the Gamecocks on fire and Devon Downy leading his team to beating #1ranked Kentucky Wildcats and a tough Georgia Bulldog team. Just in those two game Downey was averaging 32 points a game and finally earned SEC player of the week. With Clemsons point guard Demontez Stitt out with a sprained ankle has set the Tigers back a little bit. The Tigers had lost three straight until ending Marylands three win streak. With March Madness creaping up on us, how will the Tigers and Gamecocks do to get into the big dance?
