ACC Releases Schedule, Clemson Schedule looks favorable

Here is the PDF of everyone's schedule

Here is the official Clemson page, the site link has been adjusted to reflect the 2009-2010 as well.

Below is a screen capture:


A few key things about the schedule before a full breakdown later.

1. The Tigers have an away game in Lynchburg, VA- Surely, this is a joke, misprint or whatever.
2. I knew about the away Greensboro game; I hope it is a good payout. I still don't understand that move. Maybe the UNC-G Spartans, or whatever their mascot is, are trying up their competition to advance? I don't know.
3. Other than the above away games, much of the rest of the Out of Conference schedule (OOC) looks to be a survey of other in-state teams: Francis Marion, Presbyterian, Winthrop, SC, Furman, College of Charleston, and SC State. Wow. SEVEN in-state schools.
4. The ACC component looks favorable, as this is our not Chapel Hill year, though we get Duke in Durham. The season-ending Wake game could be a trap. Also, other than the NCSU-GT stretch in January, 1/16-1/9, and the late February, 2/24-2/28, stretch against Maryland and FSU, the Tigers have no long periods away from Littlejohn.

Go Tigers!

Clemson Basketball- Season Tickets on Sale NOW

Awesome.
Football season hasn't even started and the ticket announcement is on.

Here is the update from the press release:

Littlejohn Coliseum iconference games include: Georgia Tech, Duke, North Carolina, Florida State, Maryland, Virginia, Boston College and Miami.

Also, the Tigers take on Illinois in the ACC/big ten challenge and south carolina in home games. Additionally, the Tigers play in the 76 Classic against a strong field and strangely against UNC-Greensboro in Greensboro, per UNCG.

So, the schedule is starting to take shape. Which is exciting, but one of my favorite lines from the release is "The 2009-2010 Tigers will be led by All-America candidate Trevor Booker, who led the ACC in rebounding and field goal percentage last year."

When was the last time All-American candidate and Clemson Basketball were thought of together? Bucker, Wright, Campbell?

Go Tigers!
