The Clemson Dubcast

Brad Brownell, Part 1

Brad Brownell, preparing for his 10th season as Clemson's basketball coach, joins The Dubcast to talk the team's gold medal in Italy, the ACL injuries suffered by two anticipated starters, and the FBI wiretap revelations that ensnared a former Clemson assistant.

Robbie Caldwell, Brandon Streeter, Todd Bates

Three Clemson assistant coaches go before the microphones to talk offensive line, quarterbacks, defensive tackles, and a bunch of other stuff.

Brent Venables, Part 2

Brent Venables reflects on the early days under Bob Stoops at Oklahoma, on losing a brother to alcoholism and a Sooners linebacker to a drug overdose within a 24-hour period, and the decision to leave his comfort zone for something entirely new at Clemson with Dabo Swinney. 

Brent Venables

Brent Venables shares his amazing life story, one that is every bit as jaw-dropping as Dabo Swinney's tumultuous upbringing. This podcast is from an interview we conducted with Venables in March, when he recounts the complete story of his past for the first time to Tigerillustrated.com.

Kevin McCrarey

Two years ago, Kevin McCrarey left the sports-radio business. Kevin joins The Dubcast to reflect on that decision, the state of the radio industry, what it's like to have a so-called "real" job, and how South Carolina fans are coping with the existence of a dynastic Clemson football program.

Marc Dopher

Marc Dopher, who spent 10 years covering college football in the Palmetto State, reflects on all the fun he had as a TV sports broadcaster -- and all the fun he's having now, out of the media business and watching college football from the couch on fall Saturdays.

Tommy Bowden

Tommy Bowden joins The Dubcast to reflect on a decade out of coaching, Clemson's amazing decade under his successor Dabo Swinney, and the run-up to Bowden's departure from Clemson on Oct. 13, 2008.

Norm Wood

Norm Wood, longtime Virginia Tech beat writer for the Newport News Daily Press, shares what it's like to follow a team that often requires a nine-hour round trip just to cover a press conference. Norm also gives his take on Virginia Tech's dramatic decline in football since the Hokies ruled the ACC from 2004 into 2011 before Clemson broke the stranglehold. He also shares some anecdotes about the inimitable Randy King, a one-of-a-kind sportswriter with some legendary stories -- including that time when he accidentally set a Virginia Tech player on fire.

Abe Reed

Abe Reed has worked in Clemson's football equipment room since 1998 and has been the Director of Equipment for six years. Reed shares what it's like to handle the logistics of so many moving parts, both when the team is at home and when it's traveling to Texas and California in back-to-back weeks for the College Football Playoff.

Richard Yeargin

Richard Yeargin joins The Dubcast to share the story of how he got another shot at football after injuries from a horrific car accident two years ago left him thinking he had to give up the game. Yeargin, who will soon move to New England to join Boston College's football team, also gives his thoughts on whether college athletes should receive more compensation given the revenues they generate.
