The Clemson Dubcast

Chris Knight and Doug Jones

Chris Knight and Doug Jones -- both successful musicians, and both hardcore Clemson fans -- join The Dubcast to give their insight into how the world being turned upside-down has impacted the music and entertainment business both nationally and locally. Knight has played with Liann Rimes and Montgomery Gentry in addition to working as a Nashville studio musician. Jones is the frontman for the group Cravin' Melon and is a prominent figure in the Greenville music scene.

Kelly Gramlich

In a rare moment of downtime, Kelly Gramlich joins The Dubcast to talk her crazy schedule now that she's juggling ACC Network duties with her regular spot as a daily sports-talk co-host on Clemson flagship station WCCP-FM. Kelly also reflects on the fateful beginning of her radio career and how it led to her being noticed by ESPN, offers her thoughts on the state of Clemson Basketball, and much more.

USF beat writer Joey Knight and ESPN's Chris Low

Joey Knight of The Tampa Bay Times joins The Dubcast to share what he's learned from the early stages of Jeff Scott's tenure at South Florida. And we chat with Chris Low to dig into Scott Cochran's reverberating decision to leave Tuscaloosa for Athens, and what it means for Alabama and Georgia. Low also gives his take on Clemson as the Tigers move away from the championship-game loss to LSU and toward another promising season in 2020.

Brad Brownell

Clemson's basketball season has featured immense highs, deflating lows and a lengthy list of injuries and ailments. Through it all, this young team just keeps fighting. Brad Brownell sits down for a lengthy chat to reflect on the spirit of this team, the many schematic adjustments he and his staff have made, and the future.

Quandon Christian

For Quandon Christian, a Clemson linebacker from 2009 to 2013, life after football has taken some interesting turns: From coaching and teaching in high school, to managing a Waffle House, to now shifting back to football as he prepares to be a graduate assistant at South Florida under Jeff Scott. Christian reflects on the Dandy Dozen recruiting class, the high points and low points of his time at Clemson, and a bunch of other interesting stuff.

Manie Robinson

After 14 years in newspapers, Manie Robinson decided to leave the media business and start teaching it as a professor in South Carolina's journalism school. Robinson joins The Dubcast to reflect on a conversation with Clemson legend Jeff Davis that set this move in motion, and talks about how difficult it was to leave the incredible story that's currently unfolding with Clemson Football.

Kent Babb of The Washington Post

Palmetto State native Kent Babb ranks among the foremost sports feature writers in the country. He has dug deep on profiles of Dabo Swinney and, more recently, Deshaun Watson. And he established a connection with Kobe Bryant in reporting a 2018 story on the superstar who died tragically earlier this week. We go deep with Kent on the process of reporting and writing such long-form profiles, his thoughts on Dabo and Deshaun, his difficulty in dealing with the death of Bryant and his daughter, and much more.

Charlie Whitehurst

Charlie Whitehurst made the trip to New Orleans to watch Clemson play in its fourth national championship over the past five seasons. He gives his thoughts on the Crescent City, the majestic play of quarterback Joe Burrow, Trevor Lawrence's off night, and a bunch of other stuff including who he likes in this weekend's NFL conference championship games.

Mickey Plyler

On the eve of Clemson-LSU in New Orleans, Upstate radio celebrity Mickey Plyler joins The Dubcast for some conversation about what has all the looks of one of the great national championship matchups in college football history. Then again, we thought the same thing a year ago and Clemson smoked Alabama by four touchdowns.

Paul Myerberg of USA Today

A year ago at this time, Paul Myerberg was one of the few who thought Clemson could not just beat Alabama but beat the Tide handily. A year later, he's still bullish on Clemson as it heads into the lion's den against LSU at the Superdome. We check in with Paul to revisit some silly narratives and notions about the Tigers from last offseason and well into this season, and to take a deeper look at just how historic a Clemson triumph would be.
