and it is presumed that Auburn and Clemson would fill up the Georgia Dome.

I'm not sure that's a valid presumption, considering we'll be on a three-game losing streak, but it is the assumption.

Also, the Chick-Fil-A would LOVE to take UGA if they lose the SECCG, which is what I expect to happen.

LSU and Bama to the BCS, regardless of whether there's a rematch. Arkansas to Capital One Bowl, then it's down to USuCk or Georgia for the Cotton and the other to the Chick-Fil-A.

My first post. If we can't figure a way to run the ball, our QB gets crushed trying to pass, and we lose bad. If we can't figure a way to hit the VT/QB w/n 3-4 secs and still stop their RB, we lose bad anyway.
We have big bodies to lead the run, but usually don't. We have fast LBs and DEs to mix and overload, but seldom do.
Am I wrong, blind or just ignorant of some finer point?

Getting kind of old to hear the same excuses week to week. Why is it that he talks about fundementals, when that is the key to making sure they understand that going into this year. Fundemetals should be second nature, which in turn allows these players learn this pathetic High School Offensive playbook, in turn allows Kevin Steele to take his wanna be Alabama playbook back to Bama.

How many times can Dabo say he is disappointed?


Nov 27, 2011, 1:29 AM

Disappointed? He isnt the only one .....the fans, players, and coaches are all disappointed. Im tired of hearing "we will fix it"! Dont get me wrong, i am so proud of these young men but it is time for our coaches to grow some balls and do some tough love coaching. This is a talented group of players, but if the coaches dont step up, we all will continue to be disappointed ! If something isnt working, which it hasnt been for the past 4 weeks, then change it. Maybe practices, film studies, attitudes, confidence or whatever it is, change it. What you are doing hasnt worked in last 1/3 of the season! Dont hang your heads, we are great because we are CLEMSON! I will not give up and i have confidence that the coaches will do what they have to do! This is the same team that had swagger at the beginning of the season and went 8-0. I BELIEVE!

Stop drinking the Dabo kool-aid. Face the harsh reality. This team is woefully underachieving right now. The talent is here right now and if something is not done about the coaching, the talent will dry up quickly and go to some place then can learn to win and possibly play at the next level, like LSU, Ala, Georgia, and even SC. If that happens then we will perpetually be just like we are in bball. We need help!

Re: How many times can Dabo say he is disappointed?


Nov 27, 2011, 2:03 PM [ in reply to How many times can Dabo say he is disappointed? ]

Well put. The problem seems to be the intensity and fire to knock the snot out of the opponents. When are we going to smoke the average and below average teams? eg. Wofford. We arguably have the most talent in the ACC, then we rest on our laurels. The Linebackers are consistently blowing their assignments, can't tackle and give up key 3rd downs on every drive for the whole season. Our offense kept us in games, but when the HS offense is figured out, or Boyd is presured, we fold. Who is the leader amongst the players? don't see one. where is the "IT"? after watching the game again, we could have lost by 50; to an average sc team...we need more than a cheerleader...

Re: How many times can Dabo say he is disappointed?


Nov 27, 2011, 9:43 PM [ in reply to How many times can Dabo say he is disappointed? ]

I have a suggestion - let every player EARN his playing time instead of it being given to him. Why are we scared to play 2nd and 3rd stringers when the starters won't perform?? I noticed several of our defensive guys don't want to get dirty, it's like they work at staying off the ground - dirtiest jersey on team was our QB. PLAY EM ALL, find somebody who really wants it bad! Please! If you need an example check the SC roster for who played against us - most key players were not starters 5 games ago -

Dabo looks lost, confused, out of his league, and doesn't know what to do next or where to turn - on the field and in the press conference. I like Dabo, but I think all (including his team) have zero confidence in him. I only hope he recognizes that "this" is not working and that a major change must occur immediately. If he doesn't, then the change must be him.

Re: Front Page Story: Dabo Swinney USC post-game press conference


Nov 27, 2011, 1:09 PM

To give a good analysis, I think a simple response from Dabo of "our OL can't protect our QB, open a hole, stay onside, remember not to go down field on a pass and to pick up the rushing defenders, and our receivers seem to have forgotten how to catch very well. Our Defense simply can't seem to tackle very well, get off blocks very well, or pass defend very well." Other than that, everything is okay, which really is about what he said. I really hoped our OL would be a strength this year and our defense would begin to show signs of the great defenses of the past. Reality has fallen short of hopes. At least Dabo looks like it makes him sick to his stomach for us to under achieve. TB never looked like it bothered him very much. MO

Starting to sound like a bunch of spoiled brats


Nov 27, 2011, 1:52 PM

Early on all the Expertsbased their predictions on the fact that we had talent but where very young as a team. Then we came out playing great and over achieved most of the season (probably due to the fact that there was not a lot of film on the offense). I would argue that outside of the VT game the defense has been poor all season and I'd go as far as to say that the VT QB had his worst game of the season. With that said, I'm not convinced that Kevin Steele can get it done here. Long story short, I think we should all focus on what we've achieved this season and allow this team to mature into the great team it will be.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Starting to sound like a bunch of spoiled brats


Nov 27, 2011, 2:11 PM

How is this team to mature when the coaches are L-O-S-T? Steele can't plan for the College of Charleston football team, Chad keeps going to the same well for the spoiled kool-aid...but hey - Dabo will keep being positive and cheering them on! LMFAO. I am sick of the excuses for the weak, paltry, no execution, no effort. Football at Clemson needs and enema- we are about one thing- WINNING! Not this "rah-rah" crap- just win!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Starting to sound like a bunch of spoiled brats


Nov 27, 2011, 2:21 PM

So it's the coaches fault that Boyd got happy feet and quit looking down field, that Nuke dropped three balls that weren't thrown very well to begin with and that the offensive line got man handled all night?

The coaches are giving the same excuses because they know this team is young and still learning from their mistakes. What would have them do? Start throwing players under the bus by blaming them individually for the loss?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Starting to sound like a bunch of spoiled brats


Nov 27, 2011, 9:37 PM

One thing I wish they would do is bench the QB when he is clearly rattled. It seems a legacy that has lived on from the Tommy Bowden days is that we don't take out our QB unless he is heading to the hospital. That's why Boyd in his 3rd year has only taken a few meaningless snaps prior to this year while Kyle Parker played exactly like he is playing now. Yes the line sucks but most of our sacks are from him holding the ball and stepping around his blockers. Best play from scrimmage was wildcat last night - he didn't have a problem getting tackled behind the line. Boyd is now scared to run and it is contagious to the whole offense.

to an ACC doormat, and a mediocre SEC pretender that was down to a 2nd string QB and 5th string RB.

If it's spoiled to be disgusted with that, I'd rather be lumped in with the brats than with the stoners who are still rationalizing the last few weeks by pointing to what some media idiots said in August.
