As of Fall 2021, Wake Forest has an undergraduate enrollment of 5,441.
On Saturday, 4,233 WF students attended the Deacs football game vs. Duke. Add in 128 football players & the total was 4,361.
80% of Wake's student body was at Truist Field on Saturday. That's pretty crazy.

"I think I am the best QB in the country, but from a numbers stand point, I didn't think I should be in the final 4 (for the Heisman)."
"It's nice to be recognized, but the only award I care about is the National Championship."

Today Dabo said the majority of starting QBs in the NFL are from the ACC. I thought, that can’t be right. Well...
Current starting QBs in NFL by league:
ACC: 9 (Watson, Jackson, Rivers, Wilson, Winston, Ryan, Jones, Tribusky, Brissett)
No other league has more than 4 right now
Y’all probably wanted LSU vs. Ohio St. Joe Burrow vs. his old team would have been fun. It would have been nice to see 2 teams from different regions. But Clemson doesn’t care if you’re tired of seeing them. From lovable upstart to unlikeable favorite. We’re back for another 🏆
The last time everyone agreed that a team outside the SEC & Big Ten had no shot in a championship game was in 2018. According to the talking heads, that Bama team was the greatest team ever.
Clemson beat Alabama 44 to 16.
You've got to let the teams play.
I can understand the argument for Clemson at
#5
. I just want us all to admit that if any recent National Champions (Bama or Ohio St) had Clemson’s current resume and were the defending champions, they wouldn’t be
#5
. That’s the frustrating part.
Our son is here! Jacob arrived May 4th at 1:55 AM weighing in at 8 pounds, 5 ounces. And now we can’t imagine life without him 💙
Thank you everyone for the prayers & to all our amazing nurses & doctors who were simply the best.
Wake Forest is going to win a division that includes Clemson, FSU, NCST & Louisville 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 signing a single Top-50 recruiting class or even a single Top-10 ACC recruiting class over the past 6 years 🎩 🤯
One of the most under-discussed things in college football right now is how Dabo has taken Clemson’s awesome entrance and made it all about himself. This is weird.
I believe the only way Brent Venables was going to leave Clemson was if the Oklahoma job opened at the same time that the Tigers weren't in the Playoff & it happened.
Clemson does not win two National Titles without Coach V. His legacy is secure in Tigertown.
"Trevor Lawerence is the only QB over the past 40 years, of any age, to beat two Top-5 opponents by 25+ points in a single season... and he did so in a span of 11 days." What a stat 😳
I really respect how Sam Hartman handled this situation. 5 seasons at Wake, set all-time ACC TD record & did not abandon his team in bowl season. Stayed and won the bowl game & then transferred.
Scoring offense:
Bama (47.7 ppg)
Clem (44.3 ppg)
Yds/play:
Bama (7.9)
Clem (7.3)
Scoring defense:
Clem (12.9 ppg)
Bama (16.2 ppg)
Yds/play allowed:
Clem (4.1)
Bama (4.7)
Plays of 40+ yds:
Clem (33)
Bama (30)
Idk about the rest of the country, but I wanna see Bama/Clem part 4
I understand why LSU jumped Clemson in the AP Poll. They have two great wins. However, why on earth has LSU not jumped Alabama!? It makes no sense. I guess it's because Alabama is the defending National Champs... oh wait.
For the people saying Clemson can't compete in the Playoff despite winning 2 Nattys in the last 5 years & beating Ohio St last season, I'm honestly wondering...
Do you suffer from memory loss?
Were you just born?
Have you been living off the grid?
Did you just discover football?
The biggest argument for Trevor Lawrence winning the Heisman:
Without him: Notre Dame 47, Clemson 40
With him: Clemson 34, Notre Dame 10
Very rarely do we have this kind of proof of a QB's value to his team. Y'all better do it.
If a fan's team can no longer play for a major title or play rivals/big brands, the fan will stop watching. They won't just adopt a new team, this isn't the NFL. At its core, CFB is a regional sport. That's what makes it great, but also why realignment is bad for the average fan.
It is incredibly hard to see right now, in particular if you're team is outside SEC or Big 10, but the long term outlook for fans is a good one...We will look back on these times as the moves that shaped a better post-season, more quality non-con games, & stronger governance
Y’all,
@ClemsonWBB

#22
FSU in Tallahassee 57-45 & held the lead in the game for 25 minutes. This team is for real. Tigers record back-to-back road wins over ranked opponents for the first time ever! 👀
When I signed with Clemson in 2010, many people at my signing day in Texas were like, okay where is Clemson again?
Now, a Top-10 QB recruit out of Texas commits to Clemson 4 days after he gets an offer & everyone's like, yep makes sense.
A lot has changed in 10 years.
Over the weekend,

@Kelseyplum10
’s 2023 Dawg Class Camp featuring some of the best guards in the country 👀
Caller: "If Clemson beats Georgia in the 2021 opener and then loses a game but wins the ACC and if Georgia runs the table following the loss and wins the SEC, do they both get in the 2021 Playoff?"
Sir, it's February 19, 2020.
Clemson’s 2019 roster will feature FIVE wide receivers that were rated as a 5 ⭐️ recruit by one or more recruiting services.
Tee Higgins, Justyn Ross, Derion Kendrick, Frank Ladson & Joe Ngata

today that if any South Carolina fans tries to throw a bottle/any item at Trevor Lawrence during the Walk of Champions, he will step in front and "take the bottle". Said he has to protect Trevor and specifically, his hair at all costs
Trevor Lawrence has been instrumental in Clemson's push for change. But I feel like some national media is only highlighting TLaw.
Darien Rencher, Cornell Powell & Mike Jones are black men who have been very involved & deserve to have their voices heard. Let's highlight them too
This point guard matchup tonight 🔥
Caitlin Clark: 29.6 PPG vs AP Top-10 teams in her career, highest career PPG vs Top 10 teams in DI over the last 25 seasons
Georgia Amoore: 22.3 PPG + 38 threes in eight ACC & NCAA tournament games combined last season

Amusing anecdote from Jeff Scott: He asked Hunter Renfrow last Monday if he'd be ready if needed. With Mark Fields suspended, Renfrow assumed he meant CB, not QB, and started explaining how he'd hold up in coverage. Scott, "no, I mean if we need you at QB."
The o-line was bad last night. DJ’s pocket awareness was maybe even worse. However, what worries me the most is Clemson used to be able to scheme around mediocre o-line play w/ creativity on offense. Let’s not sit here & pretend Clemson won Nattys b/c of elite o-lines…
Dawn Staley is South Carolina's Dabo Swinney. She took a sleeping giant and turned it into a national powerhouse. She is the face of Gamecock Athletics and has shown signs of slowing down. 18,000 people showed up last night for that game, incredible stuff.

We made the tough decision to postpone our August wedding due to COVID concerns, but we didn’t want to wait to get married. We said “I Do” at a courthouse in July & will have our full ceremony & reception next July.

@PackWomensBball
. They just played one of the best games I've ever seen. What a season, what a team. Some of the best student-athletes on & off the floor & this is one of the best teams in ACC history, even without a Final 4.
Clemson fans called all day about how mad they are (rightfully so). Then our last caller of the day was an NC State fan who was mad Clemson lost b/c he hates Dave Doeren. I mean you can’t make this stuff up 🤷🏽♀️
Something we haven’t talked about enough is the job
@CJSPILLER
has done with these RBs in the second half of the season. Tigers now have a legit two-headed monster in Shipley & Pace and both have improved throughout the year.
