I totally AGREE with you.......I'm 76 years old and a Clemson grad (BS Eng.). Throughout the years, EVERYTIME I remember lots of 'hype' before the football season began, we typically underperformed and apparently drank the koolaid RAT POISON. Saban was/is RIGHT!

Some were even saying we might beat Alabama on the road. I was at the game. 0-56.

similar age to you. Not every time did we underperform but enough of it so it is a concern. Track record with Dabo has been far better than the norm. To me the low mark for performing was a great '75 team that was coming off a solid 74 season and managed to go 2-9 and look even worse than that record shows. Probably the worst CLemson team I recall and I was in school during the Hootie error (not a misspell or auto correct)

That hasn’t been the case under Dabo, it’s that kind of thinking that gave us the “C” word.
We had high expectations all throughout the 2010’s & lived up to everyone of them.
Just like 2021- The first game of the season will dictate whether we’re natty material or not
Go Tigers!

i have been scoffing at preseason prognostications because I wanted to see my tigers at the top
- turns out they have it nailed last few years
this much smoke and high expectations are a good thing - dabo keeps um grounded

That’s right.
It’s so weird that people are afraid of being great.

Not necessarily rat poison at all... how many years has Dabo not performed up to preseason expectations? If Clemson is going to be great again , you gotta expect the publicity and personally I like it.. I hate it when I'm craving some Clemson pub and don't get it, which has happened more in the last 4 years(2020-2024) then the previous 4 years(2015-2019)4 national championship game appearances.... we are due!

I prefer when we are under the radar, the underdog, etc…. But I feel those days are gone, because of our success….. if you are going to run with the big dogs, you have top learn how to handle it… I think Dabo has learned, and we have the right balance of hungriness, desire, as well as humbleness, not taking it for granted…. The lights are shining, I feel good Dabo will manage it and keep this team motivated…….
Sure beats not being spoken about, no expectations, etc…. Go Tigers!!
