..and, I suppose we should begin to use the official term, "ClemPson."
The officials (Chick-Fil-A) held their presser for the announcement. Here's are a few odd's and end's I caught.
*Chick-Fil-A is the sponser of this game...proceeds will be split between the two schools after a management fee is taken off the top.
*Kickoff is at 8 EST, Aug. 30th. It'll be on either ABC or ESPN.
*Clemson is the home team, so we'll be wearing white. Officials will be an SEC crew. (decided by a coin flip...ironically a lot like the calls they make during games)
*Ticket splits are 33K per team. (they used the term minimum of...)
*The spokesman called Coach Saban and Coach Moore visionaries in regards to neutral site games with a special emphasis on the impact it can have on recruiting. He went on to mention when the 12th game was added they started thinking about adding another game before Christmas. It just so happened that Moore was the first AD he contacted about the possibility.
*Both Moore and Saban had comments about this game. Moore said the success of the FSU game really helped lead this game coming up again and getting done with little time. (considering how long it takes for OOC games to be set at times.) Saban said it's a great experience for the fans and he loves the idea of playing national games like this one especially with the exposure it brings for the program.
*The final schedule should be released today...Western Kentucky will fill the final slot with a game on the 13th of September.
*Bowden, trying to follow in the footsteps of his father I assume, tried to quip about Dabo being from Alabama and on his staff...went on to say he hasn't stopped celebrating the game being finalized.

More orange...another Tiger team...God, please make me color blind!
