The “Cameron Sticker Shock” Edition

February 15, 2026·1 hr 25 min·8 clips

Clemson has only won four times ever at Cameron Indoor Stadium heading into their matchup with Duke.

Swanny opens with the local business: phone line, website, Midlands stations, iHeart reminder. Once that is handled, the show eases into Clemson talk. He spends time on Tim Beret, a longtime Clemson-connected guest with ties running through Notre Dame, Clemson, and the ACC. The stories land because Swanny clearly likes the old connective tissue of college sports. Scores matter, but the relationships matter too. Those old ties help him put Clemson's run of moments and successes in context. Then he asks the fun campus question: which Clemson team without a national title feels closest to getting one? Softball is where he lands first. He does not sell it as a sure thing, but he keeps coming back to that program as the cleanest answer. Baseball trails close behind. Coastal Carolina is his example, the case he can point to when a baseball title starts sounding less far-fetched. Basketball gets a look too, though he treats that one like the kind of run people laugh off until it suddenly has a pulse. The rhythm is very Swanny. He asks himself the question, answers it, backs up a step, and talks it through until it sounds right. By the end, the show gets practical again. Clemson baseball opens against Army, with Friday's first pitch already behind him and a Monday show waiting on whatever the weekend gives him. He also points listeners toward Tiger Two. The signoff has that kitchen table feel: a little credit for hard work, a quick laugh, and one more go-Tigers sendoff.

As heard by us

Warm, conversational Clemson sports talk with a clear local voice.

Clemson Sports Talk with Lawton Swann reads as conversational, opinionated sports talk with a clear Clemson center of gravity. It leans on local pride, the show's regional reach, and Swann's long-running perspective on Clemson and the ACC.
