Clemson Women’s Tennis has won the ACC tournament with little hooplah. So here it is ladies! Congratulations from the gnomes to you on your conference championship. They upended the favored Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets as well as the Duke Blue Devils to take the trophy home. Of course with the number 1 national player, Ani Mijacika sitting on the team you know good things had to come around at some point!

Comments and suggestions are always welcome! Standard 1024×768 (well ok so it’s 701 due to the new column)

Both the ACC Helmet Schedule and the SEC Helmet Schedule will be maintained throughout the season and can always be obtained from the sidebar to your right Just look for these icons every Monday after a game weekend for the new one!!

Woe is the baseball team the last few weeks. I’m hardly even keeping up with the results and they’re almost too much to bear.

Western Carolina hit two homers on its way to a 6-2 win over Clemson on Tuesday night in front of 3,674 fans at Doug Kingsmore Stadium. The Catamounts improved to 17-18, while the Tigers dropped to 18-18.

That would be the 10th loss in a row. So much for my thought earlier in the week that, “well at least we’re playing a nobody on Tuesday and we can end the skid.”

Just finished up the ACC and SEC Sporting Gnomes 2008 Helmet Schedules (or SG08HS’s if you will). Just have to put the finishing touches on the servers and html and we will have them rarin to go. I apologize in advance for errors in the schedules and appreciate any corrections that you guys might find and mention. You will notice that I have changed the size of the image this year from a standard 1024×768 to accommodate the new column of conference record along with the standard overall record. This should be fun maintaining 2 schedules.

I hope to have these links incorporated into the schedules in the near future but for now:
Helmets provided by the awesome site MG’s Helmets. Check out this site for a whole slew of helmets from NFL, to NCAA to NHL. Awesome artwork over there.

Logos (background artwork) provided by SportsLogos.Net. Another great site with multitudes of logos from almost every sporting team out there.

Glad to see that Clemson basketball finally has a coach that can bring success AND stick around once it is established (ahem Rick barnes). Oliver Purnell has quelled the rumors that he would consider going to LSU to coach after the opening became available at the end of the season. It seems that Purnell not only has built the Clemson program to a legitimate contender, but also has long range plans to continue it’s success. With the improvement in recruiting as well as overall play (Hey, those freshmen make free throws!!), I look forward to Purnell’s long haul and career with the Tigers and hope that he sticks around for a long while as he is a great coach on and off the court.

I would like to thank both UNC and Memphis for sucking cockandballs and successfully taking me well out of the money in the one bowl pool which actually mattered.

This year, Clemson has received a record number of applications to join the privileged few who can be considered Clemson Tigers. This is great news as Clemson continues to garner national recognition on many fronts while improving it’s admission standards. I know for a fact that I would not make it through the doors now with what I had back then. Always a good thing to hear the Alma Mater improving its standings in the collegiate world. Of course, the “Time College of the Year” and multiple “Best Deal For Your Money” recognitions are always a good thing too! One thing that has been noticed is that the ratio of beach bunnies and volleyball nets has significantly decreased in proportion to the increase of ultimate frisbee and backpacks on Bowman. Backpacks on Bowman? What has this world come to?! I guess that is all part of the improving status in the world of academia.
