was asked in his Tuesday press conference what he thought about some fans who think that this season will be waste or nothing has been accomplished if Clemson does not beat South Carolina.

"I think that is sad. That is a sad way to think about things. I think people who say that have no appreciation for winning or how hard it is to win. Just that simple. It’s hard to win ten ball games. It’s hard to do. People who say things like that they don’t understand. They don’t get it. Yeah would it be incredibly disappointing if you don’t win this ball game? You dang right. It’s not only the biggest game of the year. It’s the most special. You got to live with it all year. This is pride. This is state pride. You live with it. Everybody lives with it – coaches, players, and fans. You lose this game you have to deal with that.

So if we lost all those games and we were 0-11, but we win this game then we had a great year? I doubt it. I doubt it. I doubt that person would sign off on that. I always say nobody’s happy unless you win them all and that’s our objective every year."
