    Clemson Tigers LIVE 184 / ALL IN SHOW 159

    Opening / Basketball Game Context Show opens with live coverage of Clemson vs. Wake Forest men's basketball. Clemson trailed significantly in the first half but clawed back (game described as a 7-point deficit at one point after being down 13.5). Hosts express concern about a potential third straight loss, which would hurt ACC standing and NCAA Tournament resume (possible Quad 2/3 loss). Repeated plugs for FanDuel live betting during the game. Show Promotions & Housekeeping Encouraged channel memberships, Super Chats for priority questions/comments, and subscriptions. Noted the show runs year-round, including the long college football offseason. Introduced co-host Jordan Bowman (recently under the weather, hence the Wednesday night show instead of Tuesday). Main Segment: 2026 NFL Combine – Clemson InviteesNine Clemson players invited: Offense (4) QB Cade Klubnik RB Adam Randall OL Blake Miller WR Antonio Williams Defense (5) DL DeMonte Capehart DL Peter Woods EDGE T.J. Parker CB Avieon Terrell S Wade Woodaz Key discussion points: Peter Woods and T.J. Parker viewed as likely first-round talents; combine could solidify or slightly raise stock. Avieon Terrell: size concerns may push him to nickel; good testing could help outside CB projection. Antonio Williams: slot specialist label; strong 40-time could boost Day 2 stock (slipped recently due to injuries). Blake Miller: split evaluations (some see first round, others Day 2); elite testing could push late Round 1. DeMonte Capehart: underrated; strong testing could make him a Day 2 value. Adam Randall: intriguing WR-to-RB convert; combine performance could determine if any team takes a flier. Overall: Combine has biggest impact on mid-to-late round players and undrafted free-agent chances. Promoted vocfb.com for combine/draft coverage.Spring Football Outlook – Key QuestionsBiggest questions heading into spring practice: Offense What will Chad Morris's 2026 offense actually look like? (Run-first identity, play-action shots, consistency issues in recent years) QB competition: Chris Vizzina presumed leader (loyalty factor after staying), but Tate Reynolds and Chris Denson expected to get real reps. Hosts skeptical of a truly open competition; likely Vizzina starts unless someone clearly outperforms him. Offensive line: Who locks down RT and center? Braden Jacobs likely LT. Freshmen (especially Chance Barkley) could push early. Defense How quickly will new transfers (especially secondary) adapt to Tom Allen's system/playbook? General tone: Many new pieces via portal + young/inexperienced QB → lots of uncertainty after 2025 disappointment. Player Highlight: RB Gideon Davidson Quiet 2025 freshman season (60 carries, 260 yards, 4.3 ypc, long 28). Expected to be lead back in 2026 (likely splits with SMU transfer Chris Johnson). Hosts believe staff views him highest; needs sophomore jump in vision, cutting, pass protection, and comfort in new scheme. Johnson expected to be change-of-pace / multi-role back (slot, screens, etc.). Pressure on Davidson to become every-down RB1 in run-first Morris offense. Quick Hits – Other Clemson Sports Baseball (4-0 start) Dominant pitching (deepest/most velo since Eric Bakich arrived). Standouts: Nate Savoy (power), Justin McGurnick (improved control + stuff), Tristan McClady, Jacob Jarrell. Optimism high; early signs of best staff in program under Bakich. Softball (6-5 start) Hot opening (wins over Oregon, Liberty), then major struggles. Concerning losses: blown out by Texas State & Arkansas; first-ever loss to Charlotte. Pitching depth inconsistent despite portal additions; over-reliance on 1-2 arms. Offense streaky. Hosts worried about sustainability in tough ACC slate. Closing / Q&A Tease Promoted vocfb-shop.com merch, Amazon affiliate link, and Clemson Tigers LIVE podcast. Answered live chat questions (basketball skid, OL freshmen impact, baseball pitching ranking, etc.). Show ends with apologies for recent scheduling issues; promise to return to regular Tuesday slot next week. Overall tone: Cautiously optimistic about football upside (new schemes, portal talent) but realistic about challenges; encouraged by baseball start; concerned about softball regression and men's basketball skid.

    Clemson Tigers LIVE 183 / ALL IN SHOW 158

    Opening & Show Format Sponsored by FanDuel (betting promo highlighted: $5 → $200 bonus bets). Hybrid format: live watch-along of Clemson–Virginia Tech basketball + football/offseason discussion. Hosts: Edward "Tiger Paw" Craven + co-host Jordan Bowman (show rescheduled due to host feeling under the weather). Live chat interaction encouraged; Super Chat for guaranteed question reads. Basketball Updates (real-time during show) Clemson trailed Virginia Tech for most of the game (down 9 early, briefly cut to 5). Struggled defensively (VT shot lights-out from 3 and free-throw line). Final result: Clemson lost by 10 points (poor shooting night: 31% from 3, 61% FT; VT 52% FG / 52% 3PT / 100% FT). Carter Welling suffered scary ankle injury but returned. Post-West Coast trip fatigue noted (teams 4–10 in next game after Cal/Stanford trip over last two seasons). AP Poll: Clemson stayed put despite strong West Coast wins (brand bias discussed; voters leaving Clemson off ballot criticized). Team strengths: depth, defense (when healthy), toughness; not star-reliant (leading scorer ~11 PPG). Outlook: solid season (20+ wins, 10–1 ACC at time), likely 6-seed range per Joe Lunardi/NET/KenPom. Football DiscussionSteve Spurrier comments Spurrier (being inducted into SC Football Hall of Fame) said Dabo needs to accept “there ain’t no rules” anymore and pay players or fall behind. Hosts called response tone-deaf; Spurrier no longer coaches in current era, doesn't grasp modern tampering/enforcement realities. Agreed NCAA has no enforcement power due to lawsuits/injunctions, but emphasized calling out violations is still necessary. Tampering (e.g., Ole Miss/Pete Golding situation) harms long-term sustainability; “everyone does it” mentality is destructive. Path forward likely lies with conference commissioners (Greg Sankey mentioned) or eventual commissioner/CBA structure, not NCAA. Chad Morris interview (Two Right Turns podcast) Detailed how Dabo contacted him; Morris told Dabo “you’ve got a one-man list and it’s me.” Philosophy: run-first, two-back sets, physicality, play-action shots, tempo changes to keep defenses off-balance. Emphasized former Clemson players on staff, comfort returning “home.” Hosts: says right things, personable, loves Clemson; still skeptical due to past OC misses (Garrett Riley, Brandon Streeter). Biggest question: can he actually implement run-heavy identity with current OL talent/depth? Player Highlight: Jaheim Lawson (edge) Breakout 2025 season: highly disruptive (pressures), developing into every-down DE. Late bloomer (started under 220 lbs, basketball background, moved from skill positions). Huge year-5 upside: experience, draft stock booster, key piece for defensive rebound. Expect more sacks/production; critical with new/inexperienced edges. Other Sports Quick HitsBaseball Season opener vs. Army this weekend (home). Excited for Aiden Canuck start; deeper bullpen, more velocity (multiple 95+ arms), added power via transfers. Goal: host regional, push for Super Regional. Softball Strong opening weekend in Clearwater (wins over #5 Oregon, #23 Liberty; 3–2 record). Home opener: run-ruled Furman 9–1 (walk-off HR by Chanel). Early concern: pitching depth behind top transfers (Maness, Dunning). Upcoming: tough Bobcat Tournament in Texas (incl. Arkansas twice). Closing Encouraged likes/subscribes/memberships/Amazon link usage. Teased possible members-only Duke basketball watch-along. Final vibe: realistic about Clemson football’s regression, cautiously optimistic about new coordinators + key returners, excited for spring ball and non-revenue sports.

    DRAFT SEASON / Clemson Tigers LIVE 182 / ALL IN SHOW 157

    Opening Banter & Weather Talk (00:00–~03:00) Casual start discussing the recent major snowfall in the Carolinas (11 inches in Charlotte, one of the city's largest on record). Both hosts from the Carolinas; Paul notes Southern states struggle with snow handling compared to the Northeast. Sponsor & Show Overview (Sponsor segment ~03:00–05:00) Shout-out to FanDuel (official sponsor & betting lines/picks teased later). Topics previewed: Senior Bowl / Shrine Bowl performances (draft season officially underway) Early look at 2027 recruiting class Late 2026 class additions Clemson draft prospects 2027 Recruiting Class Snapshot (05:00–28:00) Current ranking (per 247Sports): ~11th nationally, ~89 average rating per commit (early February snapshot). Committed players highlighted: QB Kareem Hewley (Gainesville HS, same school as Deshaun Watson): Praised as a future star with live arm, elite athleticism, fits Chad Morris offense perfectly. Stock rising; seen as blue-chip potential. WR Trey Wimbley (Daniel HS, local): 4-star, high-upside playmaker, Clemson fan growing up. Highest-rated in current class. LB Max Brown (Sammy Brown's younger brother): Solid early linebacker commit, familiar with program. DB Chris Chancellor (Daniel HS): Instinctive, versatile (possible nickel). S Harrison Luke (Matt Luke's son): Nepotism take but viewed as legitimately talented. Emphasis on building around QB + WR talent to restore “Wide Receiver U” identity. Jordan stresses transactional nature of modern recruiting (NIL money > facilities/loyalty); early commits help, but flips likely. Recruiting Philosophy & In-State Concerns (28:00–45:00) Major discussion on Josh Dobson (5-star CB from Fort Mill/Catawba Ridge, now at IMG/William A. Huff). Trending away from Clemson/South Carolina (possible bidding war; crystal balls favor out-of-state schools like LSU). Illustrates shift: In-state blue-chip prospects no longer automatic for Clemson or USC due to NIL + poor historical in-state recruiting effort. Both hosts frustrated Clemson historically under-recruited large parts of SC (even during peak success 2015–2019). High-school coaches remember lack of visits/staff presence → resentment lingers. Examples: Braylon Staley (Tennessee), Jaden Bryant (LSU commit). Consensus: Clemson must repair in-state relationships and prioritize local talent if it wants sustainable high-level rosters without massive NIL bidding wars. Senior Bowl / Shrine Bowl Quick Hits (45:00–55:00) TJ Parker (EDGE): Standout performer; scouts called him best player at Senior Bowl. Stock skyrocketing; loyalty to Clemson praised. Potential first-rounder → huge recruiting/PR win for DL room. Adam Randall (WR): Quiet week but impressed with size + movement; late-round (Day 3) projection. Cade Klubnik (QB): Solid Shrine Bowl showing; rebuilding draft stock (likely Day 2–3 range). Player Spotlight: Braden Jacobs (Rising Sophomore OL) (55:00–1:10:00) New offseason segment highlighting future impact players. Massive frame (6'7–6'8, 315–320+ lbs), NFL pedigree (son of Brandon Jacobs). True freshman: Second-highest graded Clemson blocker (PFF run + pass combined); overcame early penalties and settled in. Key questions for 2026: Where does he play (LT most likely)? How does he recover from late-2025 freak injury? Can he anchor new-look OL and provide consistent pass/run protection? Bigger picture: Matt Luke era OL must show physicality, vertical push, and cohesion. Jacobs is cornerstone piece. Comment Section & Closing (~1:10:00–end) Answered viewer questions on: Chad Morris run scheme (more zone/stretch, still screens, less counter-heavy than Riley). Roster size increase (105 scholarships → more developmental pieces on scholarship). Biggest immediate-impact transfers (secondary pieces: Myrick, Carter, Washington; safety group biggest upgrade). QB battle outlook (Vazina likely Week 1 starter vs. LSU; concerns about inconsistency). Defensive line double-team magnet (Amari Adams closest; no Peter Woods-level force yet). Final thoughts: Excitement mixed with realism; spring practice & spring game (March 28) will reveal a lot. Overall tone: Balanced but candid — praise for culture/loyalty pieces (Hewley, Parker, Jacobs) + serious concern about in-state recruiting failures, OL development, and QB stability heading into 2026.

    COLD HARD TRUTH / Clemson Tigers LIVE 181 / ALL IN SHOW 156

    Hosts: Tiger Paul Craven (main host) & Jordan Bowman (co-host) Tone: Straight-talking, "cold hard truth" style — mix of optimism, realism, frustration, and humor Main Segments: Intro & casual banter (weather, late start, channel plugs) Clemson men's basketball update Dabo Sweeney press conference fallout & Ole Miss tampering controversy 2026 Clemson football schedule reaction Fan Q&A / Super Chat / channel member discussion Closing plugs & sign-off Key Topics & Takeaways1. Basketball Update Recent games: Heartbreaking OT loss to NC State (poor free throws + turnovers), strong bounce-back win vs. Georgia Tech. Jordan's view: Loss was a bad night against a good team (Quad 1); team showed grit and mental toughness. Defends Brad Brownell — calls recent seasons some of Clemson's most successful basketball history; criticizes overreactions from fans. Upcoming: Home vs. Pittsburgh (line not out yet); opportunity for another ACC win. FanDuel plug: $200 bonus bets promo mentioned multiple times. 2. Dabo Sweeney Press Conference & Tampering Fallout Focus: Dabo publicly called out Ole Miss (Pete Golding) for tampering with LB Luke Farrelly. Hosts' stance: Dabo made a deliberate, successful statement to spotlight broader tampering issues. Conversation starter — good that Clemson forced attention on rule enforcement. Strong criticism of Ole Miss fans ("hypocrites," "IQ of a peanut," lost all sympathy after defending tampering while whining about Lane Kiffin). NCAA likely toothless; probably minimal/no real punishment. Bigger hope: Catalyst for real change in college football (clear rules or open free agency). Petty Clemson touch: Farrelly's Clemson bio page links to Dabo's rant video. 3. 2026 Clemson Football Schedule Reaction Highlight games: Week 1: @ LSU (daunting road opener vs. reloaded Tigers with Sam Leavitt at QB). @ Cal (first trip since ACC expansion; new staff but solid recent play). Home vs. Miami (tough matchup; Darian Mensah likely at Duke instead). @ Florida State (revenge spot at Doak). @ Syracuse (tough venue after last year's upset). Home vs. Virginia Tech (new coach James Franklin + transfers). Late: @ Duke (defending ACC champs under Manny Diaz). Overall feel: Not a "murderer's row," but tricky with many landmines. Only one bye week (poor placement — after Miami, before Charleston Southern). Clemson won't be the most talented team in most games. Potential pitfalls due to roster questions, new QBs/staffs at opponents, and transfer-heavy teams. 4. Roster / Program Outlook Defense: Improved secondary & depth; still question marks up front. Offense: Big unknowns at QB (inexperienced), OL (rebuilding), RB. General sentiment: Talent level no longer clearly above everyone → lower margin for error. Realistic win projection from chat/host lean: 7–8 wins more likely than 10+. 5. Fan Q&A Highlights OL projections: Too early; Brayden Jacobs most locked in, several candidates fighting. 1,000-yard receiver in 2026? → Sell (health & QB concerns). Denton as solid #2 QB? → Sell (Tate Reynolds & Bradley likely ahead). Baseball vs. basketball first natty? → Baseball (stronger history & more frequent CWS appearances). Many fans skeptical after recent regression; hosts agree it's "show me" time. Closing Notes Short show due to late start & fatigue. Plugs: vocfb.com, merch store, podcast platforms, channel growth (approaching 6,000 subs). Sign-off: "Go Tigers" Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
