What did y'all think about them playing up VT's 4

ACC Championships but not mentioning our 13 (now 14) + 4 other conference titles? The TV crew acted like this was our first title we ever won in the conference or something.

Musberger spent the majority of the telecast giving VT a handjob or otherwise whining about the officiating and how Clemson was getting all the calls.

Well at least they've separated James and Palmer. That was a "handy" pair.

Thought it was pretty even.

Herbie is on the record as being a huge Clemson homer, so in a sense he overcompensates when he gets our games.
I think their point was right that the flag has come out frequently on the helmet-to-helmet contact, and based on the liberal use of that call, they were surprised by some of the contact that was not called.

Since the BCS inception. They are rewriting the history through ESPN as we watch. You should be accustom to it by now. You get what Mass Media gives you and their's is the only forum for sports.

the ACC before FSU. We need to do a better job letting people know that before FSU, Miami, or VT there was Clemson and we have won more ACC championships than any team in the conference has won including FSU.
GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's happening. Clemson is beginning to impact SEC recruiting on a regular basis and because of that, anything they can do to slight the Tigers (snide remarks and chuckles, lack of appropriate air time, etc.) will continue until there is undeniable domination on the field. +1.

ESecPN has become a biased joke, like much of the "lame-stream media".

there is no excuse why we have not won more conference championships in the past 20 years. Other than the Tommy West days, and last year, we have had some pretty good teams with plenty of potential.
Well, the past is the past, so I'm proud they were able to refocus from their short collapse and show up this weekend to win!
When do they start practicing for the bowl game? This week?

Dabo said they were going to take some time off. Hopefully, not to much.

We should be #2 in the country right now. After winning the 5th game, the only team that should have given us any competition was SCU. So in that I am disappointed. I am very happy for the team and coaches that we won this ACCCG. Let's hope that the coaches and players alike can figure a way to keep themselves motivated and focused in the years to come.

of us who don't want to see it. Won't change our minds but they're going to try anyway. Expect to see not only an overkill of ads for the game on ESPN/ABC but mentions of it at every turn during other sports that aren't college football.

I think it was a pretty fair comparison , considering when Va Tech joined the conference. We had not won a championship since that occured.
I think they were pretty fair with us as relates to positive comments. They didn't throw in anything about the probation years etc...others have been prone to do that.
I think Clemson and Va Tech just need to take care of "bidness" in their respective BCS bowls.
Go Tigers!

unless they keep saying names wrong or something like that. You people are listening to them too #### closely and get far to upset about it.

a Clemson homer.Musberger coined the term "The most exciting 25 seconds in college football" and Herbie is a self professed Clemson fan.VT did get hosed on a few calls,I noticed that from the upper deck.Iv'e always said
"Jesus could call our games and some T-net idiots will complain about it".
