TIGERS TAKE INTEREST IN SHRINE BOWL MVP
Spencer Shuey, all around beast and death-bringer standing at 6’4″ 240, was named the shrine bowl defensive MVP for North Carolina. The Rivals two star prospect recorded 8 tackles with two for a loss in the game. When asked after the game about what colleges he said he wanted to go to, he hoped that Clemson would look into him. He might only be a two star, but the guy is a monster. Rivals also reports that Billy Napier called him* and set up an official visit after the game.

JK JAY HURT IN THE SHRINE BOWL
JK Jay, lineman for the single A Christ Church in Greenville and Clemson commit, got hurt in the Shrine bowl. If you remember last year, he was hurt and ended his junior year prematurely on the sidelines. Hopefully Joey Batson can get him working out in a way to help this out when he gets to Clemson.
BASKETBALL
K.C. Rivers was named ACC Player of the Week for his outstanding performance against North Florida and Miami. He had 28 points and a great defensive game that stood out in help the Tigers route the Hurricanes. The win over Miami also helped Clemson jump to 20th in the pools according to ESPN.
ESPN’S TAKE ON A NOT-SO-NEW PRACTICE
ESPN’s Kyle Whelliston looks into the time honored practice of paying small schools to provide larger teams with an easy home victory on the schedule. The figures range in the high tens of thousands in basketball, but it’s common place for teams to get a couple hundred thousand in football. While he doesn’t come out and bash Clemson, he sure does use our stomping of North Florida as a prime example with lots of pictures to boot. He makes heavy light of the fact that the practice is extremely frowned upon in some sports like boxing, which carries a federal prison sentence. He also tries to paint the UNF game as closer than it seemed when we more than doubled their score, 76-36. Whelliston leaves out the fact that the smaller programs really struggle with money because they don’t have big booster organizations like IPTAY to help them out, so these games make a up for huge amounts of slack and pay for these kids to go to school in a way. The news room must be awful slow in terms of college basketball in the offices up at Bristol.
CLEMSON, MEET MILTON JENNINGS
That five star recruit that Purnell just landed? His name is Milton Jennings and he goes to Summerville’s Pinewood Prep. See some highlights from a Chik-Fil-A classic his team is playing in and get his take on why he wanted to come to Clemson in this video.

Clemson graduate and Primetime with the Packman host, Mark Packer, is hosting his “Primetime Co-Host of the Year” semi-final matchups over at his WFNZ page. Brenston Buckner beat Ric Flair by a score of 7296 to 529. Obviously we skewed the numbers, but I don’t know how given the amounts we came up with and the amounts shown. The funniest part though is that this homer thinks that he was pretty much the sole reason that Buck won. Whatever the outcome, it’s going to be hilarious when WFNZ and company start snooping around and find out what we’ve done. Keep up the good work and thanks to Pitchfork Ben for giving us a heads up on the contest when it started. Thanks to CUVinny and PenthouseTiger for getting their macros up and running. Do us a favor and let’s try to keep this under wraps until the contest is over to achieve epic win.

So, Chili sends me the following picture…
And then we have this conversation:
Chili: …dude at a soccer match… that’s insane.
Willy Mac: !!!!! THAT’S FUCKING AWESOME! Where is that at?
Chili: Austria. That’s a fucking Christmas demon or some crazy german shit. *Link.* *Second Link.*
Willy Mac: See, if those would have been standard issue Nazi gear, we’d be speaking german right now.
Chili: Yeah and Brian Urlacher would be vice chancellor.
Willy Mac: (From the Flickr album description) “If you have been bad – the Krampusse put you into the basket on their back and take you away. You are really frightened of them as a kid!!!”
Chili: I’m frightened of them now.
Willy Mac: That’s awesome. Krampusse in 2012. LOOK LIKE A KRAMPUSSE RIGHT DERE BUSTAH! COMIN’ TO GETCHA KIDS FO BREFFAST UH SUMTHIN’! HUNTIN’ FO BLOOD WIT SAINT NICK!
Chili: HE GON BAG UP THAT D-LINEMAN, SEND HIM DOWN TO THE AUSTRO-HUNGARY BORDER, AN SLAP SOME INGLEHOFFER SWEET HOT MUSTARD ON THEM HINDPARTS!
Willy Mac: Funny how almost every conversation we have turns into a Doc Walker imitating session. If we had fans like the Krampusse, we’d win every game.
Chili: Let’s start dressing up as KLEMSON KRAMPUSSE.
Willy Mac: Don’t let Tigernet in on this little find of ours. Next thing you know, there’d be Facebook groups for Krampusse-outs. You know, we could start dressing up as the Knights of the Klemson Krampusse.

We’ve been contacting a few of the Big 12 blogs to try and dig up some dirt and embarrassing photos on the Cornhuskers. Here’s what we got.
From The Ralphie Report (Colorado):
Ha…nice.
I have a few.
Bo Pelini drunk, a couple of mutant Nebraska fans
Beat the shit out of them!
Ralphie Report
From Husker H8ers View of the World (Missouri):
Hmmmm… You kind of caught me at a bad time, because I’m just about ready to shut my blog down and move to a more general Big 12 one. With that being said, the Huskers just aren’t that fun to hate on anymore, because quite frankly…they’re completely irrelevant within the conference.
Despite all that, I pity you guys for having to put up with their crap and their complete and total lack of wit. When you get e-mails from some gomer wanting deathly revenge for the 1982 bowl game against you guys…they mean it. They’re crazy, and not in a good or ‘ha ha’ funny way.
With that being said, I have quite a few pictures in my archives, including a picture of their linebackers in volleyball drag, and this extremely homo-erotic picture of their receivers posing at mid field with their shirts off. I’m at work today, so I don’t have access to my other pics just yet, but I’ll see what I can whip out.
Good luck to you guys… trust me, I’m rooting for ya.
AJ
PS – If there is anything else I can do to help your fans understand the evil and painfully lame opposing opponents they’re about to face, please let me know.

BASKETBALL KEEPS CRUISING ON THE COMPETITION
Miami jumped out to a 12 point lead last night but made a few key mistakes and that’s all it too for our basketball squad to cock slap the Hurricanes across the face by a score of 91-72. KC Rivers had 28 points and Terrence Oglesby added another 17 in the points party. Miami coach Frank Haith commented afterwards that, “Obviously, that was a butt-whuppin. Those guys gave it to us. They were tougher than we were.”
BOWL PRACTICE NO WALK IN THE PARK
Coach Swinney seems to have our guys turned geared up during practice. Check out this video on it. From reports that we’ve been getting all over, the practices seem fast paced, extremely physical, and high in spirit.
“KNOW YOUR…” IS UP AT BIG RED
Big Red network finally got around to posting our end of last week’s “Know Your…” segment. We won’t be doing a second segment due to time constraints and not wanting to force questions. Instead, expect a comprehensive “Know Your Jacksonville” segment.
FRESHMAN ALL-HUMMERRICANS (SP?)
Mason Cloy and Brandon Maye have made the rounds on a few Freshman All-American lists. DaQuan Bowers picked up some honorable mention rep as well. I guess we have Tommy Bowden and his recruiting staff to thank… so… Thanks Dabo.
DAVIS CLOSING IN
James Davis is thinking about the team first and winning before all his personal stuff. It can be echoed at this point that James Davis is one of the best representatives Clemson football has had in quite a while. He needs 112 yards of rushing to beat Raymond Priester’s all time rushing record at Clemson. He needs just two touchdowns to surpass Travis Zacharcy on the all time touchdowns list.
A look at the numbers by year (as per his ESPN page):
- Freshman Year: 879 yards rushing, 9 TDs. 19 receptions for 152 yards.
- Sophomore Year: 1187 yards rushing, 17 TDs. 6 receptions for 115 yards.
- Junior Year: 1064 yards rushing, 10 TDs. 12 receptions for 51 yards, 2 TDs.
- Senior Year: 725 yards rushing, 11 TDs. 14 receptions for 123 yards.
- Total: 3,855 yards rushing, 47 TDs. 51 receptions for 441 yards, 2 TDs.
