ACC Commissioner John Swofford told the media last week at the ACC Football Kickoff that the league is on schedule to debut the ACC Network next August, and sources have told TigerNet that Clemson could be a big part of that debut.



According to what we have been hearing - and are still waiting on Clemson and the ACC to confirm - Clemson will host Georgia Tech on a Thursday night in the season opener in 2019 and it could be on the new network. Clemson last played at home on a Thursday night was in 2013, defeating Georgia Tech 55-31. Clemson and Georgia Tech have split four Thursday night games.



The Tigers have played 16 games in that time slot, and only three have been home games. Clemson is 7-9 overall on Thursday nights but has won six in a row. Georgia Tech has played 26 times on Thursday night but has lost seven in a row.



The Tigers and Yellow Jackets are scheduled to play in late September in Atlanta in 2018, the second conference game for Tech and the first for the Tigers.
