2005 SCHEDULE RELEASED: Clemson will play Miami, Florida State and Boston College at home next season, along with Georgia Tech. We'll also host Texas A&M and Temple. That's right, Diva: Temple! (Maybe that'll give you a reason to bring some Philly-area friends to Tigertown.)

A SUBTLE PATTERN EMERGES: And for Clemson's season, that bodes well, if you believe these kinds of things.

COACHING AND THE BIG BUCKS: A perspective from The State.

THE NOTEBOOKS: Here and here.
