We Want...Bama?

Teams across the country have been clamoring for the chance to take on the Alabama Crimson Tide in the post-season, and Clemson might just be the team to get that chance. That chance includes a lot of storylines. Full Story »

Believe me, we DO NOT want Bama.


Dec 7, 2013, 9:43 AM

No way, no how. Completely different animal from LSU in the Peach Bowl last year. Tajh can't handle pressure, he gets tight! Saban and Smart will dial up SO MUCH pressure against us from the opening whistle on. We couldn't get the coots off the field, do you think we'll get McCarron, Yeldon, et al off of the field?

An elite pressure defense against that weak OL that we have. Sure, they played better against USuC, but this is a Bama defense that will just eat us alive. Saban will not lose two in a row. Auburn got lucky/fluky in order to beat them. We'll not only get beat, but get beat in an embarrassing fashion. They probably won't score 70 the way West Virginia did because Saban is not one to run the score up, but it would be something like 49-7.

What makes anyone think we could stay within four touchdowns of an elite Bama team?

As I said, this is not a 2012 LSU team, this is 2013 Alabama team, a very good, if not great team. As evidenced by our play against FSU and USuC, we don't play well in big games. 6 turnovers? More like 10 against Bama. By halftime! I can hear Dabo now, "Well, except for those 10 turnovers, we played pretty well."

Vegas' line would be only 8-12, so the 4 touchdown thing

I agree with you. Unless we are simply after the $$$ and don't care about our reputation as a relevant football team, we should not want to put our team in that position. Some argue that we need to play the big boys to improve and I agree with that but let's take the stairs and not try to catapult to the top.

Dec 7, 2013, 9:58 AM

You are saying that our ranking throughout the year was a total fraud, and we aren't really competitive at that level EVEN IF we are able to play without all the turnovers and dumb mistakes? You speak of our program being "relevant"... how can we prove our relevance if we can't at least be competitive in games against top quality competition??

We need this kind of challenge. This is the kind of opportunity a program needs to make the move to the next level. We ain't gonna prove that by beating up on Syracuse and UVA.

Re: In other words...

We didn't give FSU (possibly the soon to be NC) a game at all this year and we fell apart in the game against scar. I'm just not convinced that we wouldn't shoot ourselves in the foot with a complete blowout from bama (the soon to be the former 2x NC).

Dec 7, 2013, 10:14 AM [ in reply to Re: In other words... ]

as anyone here regarding the failures in the FSU and coot games. But I'm not going to give up on this team or this program. If we play to our potential, we can win. You reach potential through effective practice and competent gameday coaching. If this coaching staff is incapable of doing those things, then they should be replaced now... not later.

I think this staff is capable of accomplishing that goal. But they are going to have to put in the work. We have three weeks. Get it done! Earn your pay.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I agree. The team learns nothing by beating up on scrubs.


Dec 7, 2013, 10:25 AM

We have nothing to lose by playing BAMA. Everyone will expect a blowout. If it happens, then add it to the misery of the other two games this year. It can't hurt any more this season that is already has. If we keep it close....or somehow find a way to win, it would be HUGE for our program. This is what the bowl games are about. Would these fans rather play a Northern Illinois.....Fresno......UCF......? Nothing sexy about that to me. I want to play with the big boys.

A good matchup for us. The alternative of A&m would have been difficult as well. Couldn't get shaw on the ground or off the field and manziel would have picked up too many yards with his feet. I do think we could beat a lot of the teams in the top ten. Certain teams just pose matchup problems that will be very difficult to overcome

what we need as a program. Bama's D this year is not as good as LSU's last year. McCarron can't scramble like Shaw and we have a fairly stout D against the rush. Bama's front 4 need blitzes to get pressure and that would probably be their game plan, but that creates opportunities if we execute. We definitely have an advantage with Catman. Bama would clearly be favored but if you want to see the program advance, you can't be 'scared' to play anyone, anytime, anywhere. Besides, Bama probably doesn't want to be there. Right?

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


100% Agree


Dec 7, 2013, 10:07 AM

If you look at BV's defensive scheme it works great against a more traditional style offense without a mobile QB. You look at how the majority of the SEC runs their offense's and they run a traditional power run game. UGA likes to pound it in there with "Gurshall". LSU did it last year with the trio they had. Look at how those ended. I'm not saying that the same outcome would happen, but food for thought. I do think that Bama would get pressure with 4 whenever they wanted. IMO

Not 4, but 5 and they would be doing it all night. Morris


Dec 7, 2013, 10:13 AM

needs to earn his money with a screen game and some delayed releases to the 'protectors'.... and by all means, keep pounding it when they're not stopping the run and do it with tempo. AU-Burn did.

Where is everyone getting that Bama will put pressure on the QB they are 77 in sacks this year. They only have 21 as a team. H3ll Vic Beasley has over half that many on his own. Bama's Defense is soft this year. Our offensive line will be OK with them.

Even with a loss, I think it would help recruiting out a bit. These highly touted recruits would see that Clemson is on the edge and consistently playing in the big match-ups in the post season. They may want to be the ones to help the program to take the next step.

Its the blowout embarrassing losses that keep us from taking the next step. If you cant at least act like you belong then you don't. Recruits see that. I'm die hard but believe Bama would destroy this team. That doesn't sit well with anyone for the offseason. COULD we win? probably. But a beat down is more likely.

I'm sure Bama don't won't to be in the Orange bowl with us. But they will come, and they won't lay down. AuBuM may have won their game with Bama in over time, but the way they won it was an absolute fluke.

I believe this is exactly the kind of game CU needs.
One of those that can get you back creditability.
Now, am I saying we'd win...maybe, maybe not. But for
a team the entered the season inside the top 10 that was
plastered by Fla state, and beat by SC. A bowl game (
possible win/BCS) gets your right back to where you need
to be. As far as playing Bama. If we can limit their
big plays, get a few stops...who knows. But yeah, its
exactly what CLEMSON needs.

If you are scared to play anyone, then stop the program. Based on your handle, I assume you are about my age. We've only seen about 4 to 5 years since 1970 that are as good as we have strung together the last 3. Losing to USC hurts, but this is the absolute best years they have ever seen - we'll come back.

But to say lets not play someone because they might beat us is just embarrasing.

I don't have much hope that we would beat a "humbled" Alabama, it would give me nightmares for weeks. I think a blow-out by Alabama would hurt Clemson recruitment.

But, if you are trying to build a program and you blew two opportunities already this year and still want to show you belong top tier, playing Alabama and winning, or even making a good game of it would be a character builder!

Re: Front Page Story: We Want...Bama?


Dec 7, 2013, 11:27 AM

Yes, there was more to that than internet message board gossip. FSU & Clemson both together reached out to them. There were discussions. How serious they got, or whether the two were using that as leverage on the ACC to become more proactive rather than reactive is up for debate. FSU LOST money last season winning the ACC and going to the Orange Bowl, and I've seen articles this season saying they are very likely looking at a loss this season as well. With all the money being made in college football, it's gotta be upsetting and frustrating for FSU. The SEC had/has no interest in them nor Clemson and that really leaves both schools hamstrung. I think those discussions with the Big 12 are what led to all the ACC schools signing that deal, can't recall what they named it, where the exit fee was upped to $50 mil, and it also says any school that does leave would also have to forfeit their money from their new conf's tv deal, for the first two years. I may be wrong on the two years part, not sure. Either way, now it look like we're stuck in the big boy basketball conf. Which, personally, I have no interest in Clemson ever joining the SEC.

Far as Bama goes


Dec 7, 2013, 11:44 AM

Anyone who says we shouldn't want to play Bama, I understand where you're coming from. However, this is the type of game we need to end this season. So far this season we've been exposed as frauds. As a team that doesn't know how to show up, much less win the big game. Our coach boastfully told the country following the lsu win that this was a national title contending team this season. So far that statement has not even been close to being true. When you're coach tells you something like that, then that's the goal. No one is going to count the Ga game as a big win after the season they had, even if we all know that Ga team we played was a much better team than what they
ended up with. Full strength, they're Top 15 minimum, but no one but us remembers that. We're going to be judged on the FSU & SC games PERIOD. And this one coming up. This is it. How do you wanna be remembered? Win this one, no other outcome of acceptable. Our coach needs to save face and show he wasn't just blowing some with that pronouncement. This is Tajh's last shot
at cementing his legacy. Are they not tired of being the whipping boys for every college football analyst out there? Win this game, not just keep it close, are some of you kidding? Keep it close? That's a loss. We always claim we wanna play big boy football, well this is it. Show up or go home. Win. No other result is acceptable. PERIOD

WE WANT BAMA! Our program wants Bama and we have to play the best to be the best. Bama isn't as dominant as most people think. Hell, Auburn even isn't. This is a down year for Bama and I've been saying this from the onset. They should have gone down even earlier in the season but hung on. Our D is equipped to stop Bama. Mccarron is no running QB and we held the top rusher from the SEC to 15 rushes for 22 yards. I'd say our D is ready. Plus, the way our OL played against USuC is proof we can hang. It's all up to the coaching staff and Chad to game plan around their D. We have the talent to beat them as long as we play well and very well can. Stop being a bunch of puss*es and spot the ball already. Oh yeah, and Go Tigers!

Great opportunity...

But for Gods sake, if Tahj (which I respect and appreciate) isn't getting it done and starts that deer in the headlights crap, PUT SOMEONE ELSE IN!! I'm tired of the staff resting it solely on his shoulders no matter how many interceptions he's thrown or how bad he's playing.

in order to be the best, you have to play the best. Just like Ga. & Fla. this year. We had cruical injuries at some important and much needed depth positions. Dye looked to be a major power back during the fall and would have added a physical and much needed power aspect to our run game. With rotation of Hot Rod and Dye, who knows how big of impact it would have added to our offense. Without an injury to Peake, our go to 3rd receiver would have increased our offense's confident level and made us a bigger threat on offense. Our secondary play and confident level would have fed of the lockdown playing ability of Alexander. Who definitely would have gave us a better dimensional return game on kickoff and punt returns. Injuries tends to take away from a teams overall outlook, sometimes. Especially when you are recruiting for immediate depth.
