It's been a long time since TigerNet had a pumper/dumper week


Oct 16, 2017, 10:03 AM

I'm not gonna be a pumper about the loss. There were so many unbelievable and ridiculous coaching decisions that can't be explained as Daniel Shirley pointed out in his article. I think that game may have been the worst coached game for Clemson since Dabo took over. Chad Morris had a few with abandoning the run and lack of adjustments but this one stands out because there just isn't any explaining the decisions.

With that said, not gonna be a dunmper either. We win out, we're in the playoffs, ACC Champion or not. Here's why:

1. Cuse likely will lose another ACC game. We make the ACCCG and if we win out we're in.

2. If Cuse doesn't lose another ACC game they're 7-1. If we beat NCState and that's NCState's only ACC loss we're both 7-1 as well. Three-way tie. We make the ACCCG on the third tie-breaker (over all pct). Win out we're in.

3. The committee always ranks us higher than the Coach's and AP polls. If we beat GT and NCState I have a good feeling the committee will have us at #4 or atleast #5 and maybe even higher if key teams lose the next 3 weeks. We win out we're in the playoffs whether we go to the ACCCG or not (i.e. Ohio State last year)

In a way this loss benefits us and I know that's hard to understand. We still have a direct path to the playoffs and a very pissed off team and coaching staff to make sure it happens.

Good points but first coaching staff has to get their s...together! If they can't get the O playbook opened up time for a change!

You can definitely tell the difference between

the "newer" fans and the ones that have been around for a long time. I guess spoiled fans are a side effect of all the winning the Tigers have done over the last few years...

The loss sucked.. BAD.. but so did Pitt last year, and that worked out ok in the end..

Everything is all about perspective aligning with reality. It's OK to be pissed off about that loss. We shouldn't have loss had coaches had their head screwed on right. But it isn't the end of the world either. Some folks just let their emotions get to them too much. I used to in my younger days.

As did I.. But I've learned that everything in my world was exactly the same the next day. Even after the NC game.

It's all about perspective, but I've met much older men than me who have yet to find that out.
