Deutsche, but there is way too much of an undercurrent of cowardice among us.

I’ll spare you the treatise on the ways fear alters behavior, but suffice it to say some “fans” would do well to rub shoulders with courageous people who might inspire them to stand a little taller, live a little bolder, fight a little stronger, and lead a little braver.
If there’s a sliver of a chance we can compete at the highest level in the postseason, you better believe this team and this staff wants it bad.
“There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.”
- William Shakespeare
Buck up, weaklings. Find the heart of a champion.

Ahhh man the “realistic” all knowing psychic gods are about to come after you. They said this team sucks, the coaches suck, we won’t make the playoffs, and somehow if we do we will get slaughtered. You’re not allowed to enjoy Clemson football anymore, you have to be pessimistic about everything in the program or else you’re a PUMPER. Just a warning the babies are coming ???

I'm pretty much a "pumper". I do see lots of need for improvement on both sides of the ball, but all are fixable. Go Tigers!

Absolutely need work and a good bit of the “pumpers” understand this. I just choose to enjoy the ride, the seasons to short to be so angry about things we can’t control. At the end of the day I’m going to hope for the best with the team ???

Reminds me of the quote from the great Senator Blutarsky...

What? Over? Did you say 'over?' Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? H3ll no!
and it ain't over now...Dabo's got this!

Cowardice?

I just want to take advantage of the facts that 1. Saban is old a dirt, 2. Bama is likely to go to the Orange Bowl, 3. Clemson, if not PO seeded will go to the OB, 4. We can beat Bama this year which might send Nick to the old folks home.
It's keeping with our tradition of retiring coaches who won NC's but are now has beens like Lou and Steve.
The icing on that cake would be Alabama fans and ESPiN talking heads working day and night to convince one another, and themselves, that Dabo will return to Bama and take his obligatory and rightful place.

Anyone who would turn down a playoff bid

out of fear that we would lose is being ridiculous.
It’s embarrassing to see some Clemson fans say that.
You always take the playoff bid. Always.

BD, reading your post makes me hear George C Scott's voice in "Patton" - but you are right!

I prefer more simple eloquence, aka Anthony Clement

McAuliffe, who, when presented with a Deutche surrender demand while defending Bastogne as field commander of the 101st Airborne during WWII, replied to the German surrender demand with one word: "NUTS!"
George C. Scott as General Patton in the movie said, "Any man that eloquent has got to be rescued!" And, he was.

Any so-called "fan" that says "Clemson shouldn't be in the playoff because they will get beat" should not be listened to, much less have their opinion respected.
It's a laughable ignorant emotional response. Making the CFP is the mountain of this sport leading to the mountain top = Natty.
Honk, honk, red nose, big clown shoes.
Let's GO TIGERS!
