Official Clemson Tigers thread. (future champions of the ACC)

I'm probably the only member so please feel free to occasionally stop by and watch me talk to myself.

 

Yes, TP, you probably are the only member.

 

I know right!................... but it's quality, not quantity, stoopid.

 

Too bad you have neither.

 

Yes I do. You just don't understand me!



















***hole.

 

What does this have to do with Clemson ruling the ACC with their new firepower offense and best future linebacking trio in the country?

 

Nothing........ but you started it. Quit hijacking my thread......... troll.

 

Hey!! Don't make me separate you two again!

 

Who the **** are you?!!

 

I'm bored. Let's go to the Canes thread and talk about how packed their stands get.

 

Crap..... I wasn't expecting any company. Sorry if the place is a mess.

 

No disagreement there. SC has kicked our butts in basically everything during the past couple years. It's nice to finally have some in state competition. lol. Makes it all the sweeter when we go on another run.

The football team is about to take off. Expect to see an Auburn type offense with an Oregon tempo, but in the ACC. When you get an OC like Morris, give him 3 of the top 10 WRs in the country, one of the most electrifying backs in the country, then he's going to do some serious damage. I wouldn't be surprised if we landed one of the top QBs in the country next year b/c of all the talent in place around him.

It'll be difficult to match us point for point & keep up with our tempo, especially when competing against a Steele run defense.

This is the first time in probably 20 years that I've felt some serious optimism.

 

This is true, but that's ok b/c the OC was more of a problem than the HC IMO. With Morris and Steele running the offense and defense, Dabo can do what he does best---- motivate & inspire his kids..... and recruit.

 

This is the first year of Morris's offense, and he's not instilling all of it b/c it takes time, so I don't expect anything serious for another year. That, and the the crop of youngsters need to mature a bit.

Yup, definitely underachievers. That's our MO for the past handful of years. Hopefully Miami turns it around, too. Would love to see us meeting in the ACC Championship on a yearly basis, with the winner vying for a BCS title shot. I was a huge Canes fan growing up, so I still like em when Clemson's not involved. Liked them playing in the Orange Bowl better though.

 

I don't mind dishing out credit where credit's deserved.... even if it is to SC. lol. I don't know how many other schools around the country hate their rivals any more than CU-SC. That could become nationally recognized if we can both get our s*** together....... or at least you guys keep your s*** together while we find ours.

IMO Clemson is an SEC team playing in the ACC (much for some of the reasons you mentioned). I finished in 2000 and had a blast there. I don't have any kids, but if I did, I'd prefer them to go to Clemson too..... not b/c I don't like SC, but b/c the experience in a college town is irreplaceable IMO. Bowman field during the spring and summer is almost worth it alone.

I've heard a lot of people say that campus atmosphere, college town feel, and great campus & community unity don't have anything to do with recruiting.......... but IMO those nay-sayers have most likely never been to a campus like Clemson when stuff is going on. I know first hand that some of our top recruits go there for that very reason. Spiller being one of them.

"Unglued"? That's an understatement! A game like that would be NUTS to be at live. I always root for SC to do well during the year so if we beat you (I mean when we beat you), that we get better recognition for it....... and if we lose, it's less of an eye sore. lol.

 

productive linebacker for us before injury. Guy can make some plays; plays hard; passionate with a good motor; decent instincts IIRC; usually around the action and a decent nose for the ball. That's a good pick up for you guys if he's at 100%. It wouldn't shock me to see him drafted next year.

I believe he was (or still is) being mentored by Ray Lewis.

 

Hey, BIOTH, how ya like Dabo now?

 

I'd rather not and instead pretend everything will be perfect and we'll finish undefeated without ever having a chance to play for a national championship b/c we're in the ACC. lol.

 

As soon as a I say something, Sammy Watkins, muffs a punt on the 6 and Maryland punches it in. lmao.
Todd, shut the **** up from now on.

 

Who's the oklahoma thunder?

 

When Clemson loses (in the past), I do the same thing---> cheer for some team in the ACC to do well so at least our conference represents.

If Clemson hypothetically runs the table (which I'm not sure is possible b/c of how young they are), then that would be 2 quality wins verse the SEC. If Auburn & SC finish ranked, then I would think going 2-0 verse SEC teams would have to count for something considering LSU & Bama are the current front runners for a title shot.

 

No way. I'll be happy if he's in Clemson another 2 years. He was massively successful on the high school level as a head coach, so I'm guessing he's aching to see if he can duplicate that success at the collegiate level.

IMO the only way he stays at Clemson after year 3 is if the right opportunity doesn't present itself b/c the guy can afford to be picky.

However, with his long history of being a high school coach, he might be one of those guys who gets attached to his players and will want to see his first group of talented Clemson guys through to the draft b/c there's a really tight bond with this group, and this current offense is his baby.

 

Yup. Sloppy game. Clemson's youth really showed through tonight especially against a physical team, and Tech was great in execution.

At the beginning of the year I was worried about this game being decided by 1 player: Rennie Moore, 265 lb starting DT (with 3 freshman behind him). Missing that physical presence vs G Tech is serious trouble. You don't have that problem with Jarvis Jenkins, and having Brandon Thompson in beast mode isn't enough.

Prior to kickoff I became worried about a 2nd player deciding it; that being Andre Ellington, or the lack there of. His 2 backup freshman aren't ready to share the load and coughed it up twice (Bellamy only weighs 175 and is a massive fumble risk).
