Can the Clemson Tigers do it in ’08? Charleston’s news outlet has a little sit down with Tommy B about that very subject….click here for full article. Again it is of the opinion of the LOHD writers that Clemson will again take what we feel is a highly talented team and find a way to […]

Is what my mother would say! Let me explain, when people would say or do things that were stupid or she did not agree with my mother would say this. She also would say those three words to avoid saying something bad about a person, so my mother would say in response to the article […]

Bart Wright, sports writer for the Greenville News, is not on our favorite list here at LOHD…well let’s be honest here….we just don’t like the guy. He has such a narrow view of clemson and usc sports that it is ridiculous. He thinks Clemson can do no wrong and Tommy is “half-god.” He feels USC […]

I demand a re-count…..there had to be a “hanging chad” there somewhere…. Well, it seems the LOHD choice – Andy Card – to be the next president of THE University of South Carolina didn’t pan out. It seems some other people had different objectives – HERE – and didn’t listen to LOHD. Media outlets and […]

Three witnesses have come forward in the aid of Clemson defensive back DeAndre McDaniel who was charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. But the catch in this story – here – is these witnesses have yet to go to the Central PD who are charging the player to share their […]

We here at LOHD almost forgot to report about Clemson’s thug…sorry I meant basketball player James Mays. You know the same guy that a year ago thought about leaving Klempson early…. In the Upstate of SC, there was a slight buzz brewing that Mays could become first Clemson baller drafted in seven years but don’t […]
