Happy Wednesday to all who scream “I Bleed Orange” with us! We’ve got a lot to talk about today, as we’ll discuss the ACC expansion, and Clemson Football recruiting updates, and we’ll wrap it up with a reminder about our upcoming shows!!
If you were on social media or watching football at all last season, then you have probably heard about the ACC expansion. For those who haven’t heard, the Atlantic Coast Conference set forth plans to add 3 new teams to the Conference. Those teams are Southern Methodist University (SMU), University of California-Berkeley (Cal) and Stanford University. Now these three teams aren’t teams that we are concerned about losing against, however, we can’t help but ask; what are they doing in the ACC? This move will put the Conference at just under 20 teams.
In other news, Clemson Football has had its fair share of fire and ice regarding the recruits. The Tigers missed out on some top names like Hardy Watts, Zae Thomas, and Cortez Mills. The most frustrating for most fans is missing out on IOL Hardy Watts. The 4-star recruit, who would’ve been an amazing pickup for Clemson, set his eyes on Wisconsin instead. The Tigers also have their eyes set on 2025 WR Samari Reed, who plans to commit today, July 3rd. As many of you know, Clemson had a monster year in terms of recruits last season; and we will get to see many of those recruits play as freshmen this season. Let’s just hope these Tigers can pick up some more heat and secure some top names as the season progresses.
We are just under 2 months away from the first kickoff of the season, and our blood is as orange as ever!! If you don’t already know, we’ll be hosting our first IBO show of the season on Saturday, August 31st, at Vapor Nation, which was the host of our first IBO Show last season! We’re excited to show you our improvements since last season, and also show off our amazing sponsor as we discuss Clemson Football on Gameday! If you can’t attend in person, be sure to tune in to IBO socials to gain access to the live feed.
Tonight at 9:00 pm, you can catch the “Light The Lake” Fireworks Show over Lake Hartwell! Clemson University has partnered with the City of Clemson to bring you all an amazing sight tonight, so be sure to come out and light the lake with IBO!
