In the midst of all the football news, you could be forgiven for missing the fact that Clemson opens their ACC schedule tonight against North Carolina. Not like we could use an easy ACC opener or anything, but the powers that be have decided Clemson will start a brutal January against a team they rarely beat in an arena that we never really even compete in.
But maybe this time will somehow be different. Maybe Clemson will shock UNC and college basketball with a win here, unlikely, but stranger things have happened. But ideally the best we can hope for tonight is to see some competitive fire from Clemson.
