clear voice by any Tiger fan in attendance after Saturday's game,need to come ready and prepared to go home with a hoarse throat after the game is done and over with.The Tigers feed off of the loud support they get throughout the game so we as fans have got to bring it this Saturday more than any Saturday before.

Nicely said, but on the flip side those loud cheers can quickly turn to boos if Tony Elliott can't get some energy into what is obviously an anemic offense. You can only take so many overthrown/underthrown balls, dropped passes, antiquated and seldom successful Rob Spence bubble screens, receivers running the wrong routes, long completions followed with a holding penalty, and let's not forget interceptions, especially those returned to the house . And lets not forget the running game, which has probably been the one bright spot when used. This offense has been like an 8 cylinder car running on 6 cylinders all year .Don't expect cheers if we continue to see what we have through the previous 10 games. Call me a coot if you want, but sometimes the truth hurts!

C'mon Leftie ... Clemson doesn't have Earl Campbell at RB or the 2018 Clemson O-Line, and the WR Corp is down to 3rd string players.
An improved DJ (who is still significantly impaired by his bad knee) and a beat-up O-Line with 5 starters that maybe maybe won't have another bout of COVID absences is still a far cry from a healthy team.
Whadda expect Tony Elliott to pull off?

And who is to blame for all of those woes; the coaching staff! But hey our defensive side of the ball is still topped ranked despite having to bail us out of jail since we don't seem to have that "get out of jail free card". You won't see me needing to defend B.V. But let me ask you to explain to me how the media guide( Tiger Time) had us going undefeated, winning every game by double digits, including Georgia and without seeing Earl Campbell's name mentioned even once. Of course that was before the injuries, but you probably need to discuss that with our strength and conditioning coach. And please explain to me where DJ has improved( before the bad knee) or did you not read the comment by Tony that while he saw improvement from DJU, he didn't want to bench him because he didn't want " to disrupt his rhythm".(comments made after the Syracuse game I believe). Really. I have seen more rhythm out of watching old couples dancing on repeats of The Lawrence Welk Show. And I recall seeing some of those same shows when they were originally shown on television back in the 50's. And while I am no "couch coach" what do I expect Tony to do.? Well for one ,how about doing away with those bubble screens. They didn't work when we had Rob Spence; Why should they work now? And why not stick with the running game a little longer or design passing plays to pick up 6 or 7 yards on 1st or 2nd down instead of having to air them out on 3rd down hoping for a completion , but getting a holding penalty because we don't have that 2018 "O" line that can block. Why doesn't he work with Brandon on how to have DJU drop back farther, have more lively feet( instead of throwing flat footed) or roll out of a collapsing pocket? No, what I am seeing out of DJU is basically the same thing I saw against Georgia. But instead of going through all of this, maybe I just should have said "Try Something Different" and quit with the excuses and demeanor I have been seeing in his post game interviews.

When you boo the home team your performance as a fan is worse than any player performance you described above. If your not part of the solution you are part of the problem.

Booing is wrong.

But since when are fans a part of the problem?
Fans don't get paid millions to solve problems, they PAY millions to get them solved.

If we can claim to influence the game by being loud when the other team has the ball, which we do, then we have to admit booing can also have a negative effect. That is how fans become part of the problem - by providing negative energy.

Just kidding. I am not so sure about the running game either after the UCONN game and seeing Trotter being pushed around like a ragdoll.

We will be there keeping the crowd loud in section C like always. I tell my kids if you can talk on Tuesday you didn’t try hard enough. And for those who quickly turn to boos - just leave when you get that feeling. That’s the last thing the team needs - no matter how bad it gets.

Be there in support and in full appreciation that I can be there. For all of the frustrations, it is still my favorite place to be on a Saturday in the fall, and this is the last one for 2021. Let’s all save the complaining for January after this team’s story is fully written.

If I can’t find anyone to go with me, I will go by myself buy a ticket in the top corner and yell to do my best to fill up the stadium and make it loud. I don’t go for my enjoyment but duty. Topcorner strong
