Clemson University’s much-anticipated gridiron battle with Notre Dame will be played as scheduled … even though Hurricane Joaquin threatens to douse the Eastern Seaboard with record amounts of rainfall.
“We’ve been in constant communication with state and local law enforcement and have monitored weather throughout the week and today,” Clemson athletics director Dan Radakovich said. “I’ve spoken with campus leaders, State Highway Patrol, and Governor Nikki Haley, and feel confident we can play the game as scheduled. We ask our fans to be conscientious arriving and departing from our campus as we will have some limitations due to this ongoing weather event.”
Clemson’s police chief urged fans to exercise “personal caution and patience.”
“Our officers and partners with other agencies will do everything we can to ensure the safety of fans coming to tomorrow’s game,” Clemson University police chief Eric Hendricks said.
ESPN’s College Gameday show will also air as scheduled from Bowman Field from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. EDT Saturday morning. Bowman Field opens at 6:00 a.m. EDT. However ESPN’s Sportcenter – which had planned to air live from the location at 7:00 a.m. EDT – will no longer be held.
Clemson is ranked No. 12 in the Associated Press Top 25 and No. 11 in the Amway USA Today Coaches’ poll. Notre Dame is ranked No. 6 in the AP poll and No. 7 in the coaches’ poll.
The last time these two schools met at Clemson was on November 12, 1977. On that date, a fifth-ranked Notre Dame football team led by Joe Montana defeated a 15th-ranked Clemson team led by Steve Fuller, 21-17.
Two years later, though, Clemson traveled to South Bend, Indiana and pulled off a 16-10 victory over the Irish.

Time for some pussies to be whipped.
and the excuses of why they lose in 3,2,1……
Will they be any different than the ones used by USCe fairweather fans?
Clemson will be my favorite team Saturday Night, any team that plays Notre Dame is my favorite team, even the Gamecocks.
Notre Dame “defeats” Clemson in 1977.
Clemson “pulled off” a victory two years later.
Defeating is more impressive than pulling off a victory. Anyone familiar with those two games would switch the descriptions. While both were comeback victories, Notre Dame’s was much later in the game and more of a “pulled off” victory.
I don’t remember who was favored in each game, but Clemson was ranked 14th and Notre Dame was unranked in 1979. Notre Dame had lost to THE USC, Pudue, and Tennessee, but defeated South Carolina at ND by one point.
An unholy alliance of zebras and Fighting Irish defeated Clemson in 1977.
Tiger meat!
Unfortunately it aint the zoo these tigers can only eat what they are fed (Wofford, App.State. etc). Something tells me they will be looking for free food again after the game. ND 31.Clemux 20.
Well it’s apparent that the old saying stands true, “misery loves company”. Dirtpeckers would rather see another SC school’s football team fail and have the entire state’s major football teams at the bottom with them.
who said I was a “Dirtpecker” fan?
As I’ve learned from living in this state, you’re either a Dirtpecker or a Tater. There is no other option.
or I am fan of the real team in the ACC, FSU which as always proves Clemson isn’t shit and hasn’t been since 1990. Maybe you can go back there to when you mattered to anyone outside of the upstate.
Free Shoes University? FSU has enrolled and played more thugs than Miami.
Easy, USCe once won an ACC championship.
and I guess CU now stands for Cocaine University. I hear the kicker was sad its raining thinking it was going to wash away his lines.
Could be. Does that change Free Shoes University to Freshman Shoplifters University?
only if you are an idiot. that happened his 2nd year so he wasn’t a freshman, but since your highest major is in cow tipping I understand you don’t know math. go do a line Coke U boy. you got lucky tonight by some dropped passes and bad coaching by ND. We will once again prove how little you matter outside the state. keep on crying you get no love, but you haven’t earned it in 40 years.
Oops! Go Tigers!
— and speaking of meat, this is weird from yesterday: I was reviewing some of the graduates from the exclusive Williams College and saw the name of a guy who became a well-known (except to me) photographer…. Ralph Eugene MEATYARD..!!
As revealed by my Magik Round Dice —-
Clemson …………………………. 32
Notre Dame …………………….. 31
Are you using standard “Majik” six sided dice? None of your digits are greater than 6. If so, you need to switch to these. ____ Scroll down at this site. I like the score though.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagonal_trapezohedron
My dice are round with a metal something that makes them wobble when thrown. Today I threw ND with my right hand and CU with my left on three turns — the results were:
1) – CU 44 and ND 31
2) – CU 65 and ND 31
3) – CU 32 and I accepted the ND’s as 31
You should average them.
Clemson 47
Notre Dame 31
have to use my judgement on the rolls — ’31’ was a 1 and a 3, do I could have called it.. ’13’

In late November, “Gamecocks lose to Tigers in Columbia” will feel like deja vu all over again.

I hope everyone reads my new book, How I Overcame Humiliation As A Gamecock – A 200yr-old Fantasy of Manners.
The secret is not going out in public.
Three universities are wooing a high school football star. The player shows up at
South Carolina where he notices a red telephone on Coach Spurrier’s desk. He asks, “What’s that phone for?”
“Oh, that,” replies Spurrier. “That’s our hot line to Heaven.”
“Gee, could I borrow it?” asks the football star.
“Sure, but it’ll cost you a $100 per minute.”
“Oh, that’s too steep for me.”
The player then visits Clemson next and sees a blue phone on Coach Swinney’s desk. He asks, “What’s that blue phone for?”
““That’s our hot line to Heaven.”
The football star asks, “Can I make a call?”
“Yeah, but it’ll cost you a $100 per minute.”
“Oh, gee. I don’t have that kind of money. Thanks anyway.”
For the third leg of his university visits, the football player goes to Notre
Dame. There he sees a gold telephone on Coach Kelly’s desk. “What’s that phone
for?” he asks.
““That’s our hot line to Heaven,” says Coach Kelly.
“Mind if I borrow it?”
“Not at all, but we have to keep our costs down so I’m afraid I’ll have to ask you
to pay for the call.”
“And how much is that, sir?”
“Ten cents a minute.”
“Ten cents a minute to call Heaven! Wow! How come it’s so cheap?”
The Fighting Irish Coach responds, “Because it’s only a local call.”
A father was discussing his daughter who made the cheerleading squad. “She goes to
Clemson University. She could have gone to the University of South Carolina,
but its one more letter she would have to remember.”
As the woman passed her daughter’s closed bedroom door, she heard a strange buzzing noise coming from within. Opening the door, she observed her daughter giving herself a real workout with a vibrator.
Shocked, she asked, “What in the world are you doing?” The daughter replied, “Mom, I’m thirty-five years old, unmarried, and this thing is about as close as I’ll ever
get to a husband. Please, go away and leave me alone.”
The next day, the girl’s father heard the same buzz coming from the other side of the closed bedroom door. Upon entering the room, he observed his daughter making passionate love to her vibrator. To his query as to what she was doing, the daughter said, “Dad, I’m thirty-five years old, unmarried, and this thing is about as close as I’ll
ever get to a husband. Please, go away and leave me alone.”
A couple days later, the wife came home from shopping trip, placed the groceries on the kitchen counter, and heard that buzzing noise coming from, of all places, the family room. She entered that area and observed her husband sitting on the couch, staring at
the TV.
The vibrator was next to him on the couch, buzzing like crazy. The wife asked,
“What are you doing!?”
The husband replied, “I’m watching the Clemson game with my son-in-law.”

I knew Notre Dame screwed up the first time they went for a 2 point conversion.
Congratulations to all my CU friends. Hell of a game.
It was never close. ?
HaHa!
what? it was luck
BYOG
I guess they will have to put Alabama, A&M and LSU in the top ten, maybe Florida. Top SEC teams keep loosing to each other.
ESPN cuts off Dobo thanking Lord and Dad. Ten seconds of dead air looking at their tablets. Hilarious and sad. Hopefully it was just a mistake.
