Since we are all agreed that we shouldn’t have lost to Boston College


Jan 16, 2022, 2:12 PM

then we should also be just as eager to point out that we shouldn’t have beaten Virginia and NC State.

No, I’m not arguing for mediocrity, inconsistency, or any other ridiculous trope that keeps getting posted here. I just want people to be reasonable.

The above was pretty much a direct quote between my buddy and me prior to and during that game. Nothing against Clemson by their status - we should win those - refuting OP that it wasn't the expectation.

Jan 16, 2022, 4:27 PM [ in reply to Re: Since we are all agreed that we shouldn’t have lost to Boston College ]

and they spend more money on it than we do. They have outrecruited us in recent years and have better fan support than we do.

But we beat them. Give our coaches and players credit.

It’s strange to act like we should just win every game, as if it’s a given, but freak out when we lose.

So you think a team that traditionally has had success, fan support, and funding AUTOMATICALLY is better than teams that traditionally have less success, fan support, and funding?

You think that a team with better recruiting rankings is AUTOMATICALLY better than teams with lower recruiting rankings?

I’m pretty sure this post right here is why you get so much crap. It shows your lack of understanding sports.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Of course they aren’t automatically better.


Jan 16, 2022, 6:34 PM

But they have a much easier path to success than the team that doesn’t have those things.

That’s why many of you sound so ridiculous when you gripe about Clemson not being better at basketball, but have no desire to start devoting more resources toward it.

How many ACC football programs who prioritize football among the lowest in the ACC should expect to consistently be among the top tier of football teams?

Please reread my original post in this thread.


Jan 16, 2022, 7:55 PM

I’m not defending the loss last night. We should’ve won.

Last night’s game is not even the point of this thread.

The point is that if we are going to (understandably) be upset about losing games we shouldn’t, we should also recognize when we win games we shouldn’t.

It should go both ways.

What does any of that have to do with ONE season. Believe it or not, Clemson can be better than NC St for a year, but still not be a very good team.

That easier path you mentioned isn’t going draw up plays and coach up players to win games and be great every year.

They won a national championship a few years ago. They have one of the best coaches in college basketball. They have outrecruited us. They spend way more on basketball than we do, they have a better basketball history than we do, and the sport is better supported by their fans.

Give our coaches and players credit for beating them.

Jan 16, 2022, 4:33 PM

But as you so eloquently stated earlier, when referring to our football program, all that matters is today and the current season… we are not elite, too 15-20, etc. UVA IS NOT ELITE. What they did in the past doesn’t matter, they are a bad/average team this year. You can’t have it both ways, this is a point you made today or yesterday. The point you are making with this post is unclear and not thought out, all over the place.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

There you go, putting words in my mouth again.


Jan 16, 2022, 6:31 PM

I never said that what happened in the past doesn’t matter for football. It matters a lot in recruiting and publicity. But it doesn’t mean that we are elite despite more recent evidence to the contrary.

With that said, it absolutely means that we should beat NC State and Pitt in football. Those were really inexcusable performances for a program with all of the advantages we have that they don’t.

Regarding this conversation, UVA isn’t elite in basketball this year. I never said they were. But they are still a program that should beat us based on their recent success and recruiting.

This isn’t difficult to understand.

But yes, you are correct that NC State won one in the 80s.

That’s still way better than anything we’ve ever accomplished in Clemson basketball history. We hang our hats on one Elite Eight over 40 years ago, and one time when we were ACC runners up. LOL!

Jan 16, 2022, 6:31 PM

So you think Clemson can’t be better than NC St for one season because they won a championship 40 years ago and traditionally have had better success, fan support, and funding?

And that doesn’t mean Clemson is a great program either. That just means NC St is having a bad year, no matter what their recruiting ranking is. It happens to traditionally good teams all the time.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I do think we can be better than NC State for one season.


Jan 16, 2022, 6:45 PM

And when we are, it should be recognized as an accomplishment due to good coaching and player development, and not a birthright just because we want to be better at basketball.

Jan 16, 2022, 2:27 PM

Boston College is ahead of us in the conference, and has FAR superior coaching. They also recruit our own backyard better than we do, as we give zero effort in recruiting and our staff just watch the clock and cash checks.

Just because they hadn’t won a road game in over 700 days doesn’t mean we should have won. We might be the worst team in the conference this season. Despite investing more than many schools.

It’s reasonable to be happy for the progress made.


Jan 16, 2022, 2:30 PM

Wins at UVA and NCST are welcome and celebrated. Not questioned.

It’s reasonable to be unhappy with last night.

So no I don’t think we should be as eager to question road wins vs bad home losses.

Wait...huh?

We should have won all those games. The ACC is and has been absolute hot dog water this year and last. I wish Brownell would have taken advantage of that considering.

On another note. If the ACC is gonna just keep focusing on being a basketball conference and not even be consistently good at that, I do wish Clemson would just leave this conference. They do no favors for us these days.

Those were two good wins. Looking a little closer at those games though, to be perfectly honest, WE DID NOT PLAY THAT WELL. Virginia and NCSU played atrociously, and that is why we won. Under CBB, we do not win games when the other team plays reasonably well. If you watch the games closely, it is apparent to me that CBB cannot piece together a coherent offense.
