As Dabo walked on to the field at Williams-Brice Stadium he went directly to midfield & picked up Shane's son Hunter & gave him a big hug.
Earlier this week Dabo talked about the time Hunter asked him for some Clemson gear & Shane said he hoped he no longer had that gear.

Went through the sports archives and found a shot of Chadwick Boseman knocking down a 3-point shot for T.L. Hanna back in 1995. Smooth stroke for sure.
Who knew then, what he would go on to become.
He will be missed.

While shooting a story on Wofford's Fletcher Magee, a crazy thing happened.
I interviewed
@magee_fletcher
while he was shooting free throws.
It lasted 19 minutes & I ran out of questions before he ever missed a shot.
He finished 102-for-102 at the line.
Wow!!!

Pretty cool moment before Saturday night's rivalry game as

For all the bad things that have been said about the Clemson & South Carolina rivalry, take a look at all the good that happens after the game. Feaster team photo w/ former teammates, Feaster & Etienne jersey exchange, Muse kisses his girlfriend who's a Gamecock dancer.
@WSPA7
Fletcher Magee was 0-12 from 3-point range in Wofford's 62-56 loss to Kentucky, yet still answered all the tough questions in the locker room afterward & handled it like a grown man. Understandably he is taking it hard, but keep in mind,
@WoffordMBB
wouldn't be here w/out him.
Clemson kicker Jonathan Weitz said as a young boy he used to practice kicking with his dad saying, "this is the kick that beats the Gamecocks" were too many to count.

Tigers safety K'Von Wallace took the

mic & headed straight to

defensive coordinator Brent Venables to ask him what this
@CFBPlayoff
title game means to him & Venables response is pure magic.
You can see why his guys love to play for him.
Must listen.
On Saturday, Christian Wilkins will be among the seniors honored before the Duke game in Death Valley. Today, Brent Venables gets a little emotional when talking about what Christian has meant to the Clemson family and his family as well. Great Stuff!

Former

Several thousand people turn out for the Clemson Community Peaceful Demonstration including Dabo Swinney, Trevor Lawrence & many other

Listen to what

said about why the team felt this protest was necessary & who helped make it happen.
@WSPA7
What does Trevor Lawrence have to say about 5-star freshman QB D.J. Uiagalelei as Spring practice gets underway?
First off, he doesn't need to put on a whole lot of weight. He's a big kid with a rocket arm. Take a look & a listen.
@WSPA7
@ClemsonFB
How did Trevor Lawrence feel about throwing just 9 passes and playing just over one quarter in Saturday's 52-10 win over Charlotte?
He says that is what makes this place special, everyone gets a shot.
@WSPA7
@clemsonfb
Trevor Lawrence showed a lot of maturity in his response to former teammate Tavien Feaster leaving Clemson for rival South Carolina. Mature beyond his years.

Dabo Swinney was straight to the point in his Sunday teleconference saying that, "This game was not cancelled because of COVID, COVID was just an excuse to cancel the game. To me the Florida St. administration forfeited the game."
Listen here:

says his programs success in recruiting is based on a simple belief of being genuine with the prospect & family throughout the process.
Per 247 composite rankings, the 2023 USC class is 18th in the country.
If you’ve ever been to Wofford, there a pretty good chance you know who “Slick” is.
During a TV timeout during today’s game against Western Carolina, “Slick” hit a half court shot as part of a promotion and the crowd we crazy.
Great shot!

Clemson falls to Miami 28-20 in 2 OT's.
Listen to Cade Klubnik's thoughts on the final play of the game on 4th & 1 where he failed to hand the ball off, tried to run it in himself & was tackled for a loss. Dabo said the play was a straight handoff, not an RPO.
@WSPA7
Once the parade portion of the

Christian Wilkins has plenty to say about his first rushing touchdown as a Tiger. His personality might be bigger than his 315 pound frame. Love his passion for the game.
