I was just going to write that one aspect of the Clemson culture has been that we do not skip bowls. It was amazing that none of our players opted out of the Cheezit Bowl last year. I guess I can understand Murphy's decision, but I do not like it. The Orange Bowl may not be the playoffs, but it is a big deal, and Murphy should understand that.

Re: TNET: Clemson standout opts out of bowl game

None of our players opted out of the bowl game last year because we didn't have anyone with a perceived top spot locked up. We only had two players total drafted last year.

Re: TNET: Clemson standout opts out of bowl game


Dec 13, 2022, 1:27 PM

This. The only reason that we have had a culture of not opting out of bowls, is because we've ended every season since 2015 in the playoffs until last year, and last year we didn't have anybody that was going to get drafted in the 1st.

Re: loafer till the end

Don’t be ridiculous.

Myles Murphy has enough on film already and no NFL team is going to think less of him for not playing a bowl game outside the CFP. Additionally, this is a sign of the time and will continue to happen for guys heading to the combine. Why get a major injury or even a nagging injury a few months before the combine/draft.

Do I wish it was different? Sure, but business is business and Myle’s business is about to get really good.

I appreciate the fact he chose us and wish him well.

Dec 13, 2022, 1:13 PM

So, we are getting bled dry on the bottom end by unhappy players leaving for the portal, and now the top end players are not playing in bowl games. I'll guess we have to make due with the happy middle that want to play for Clemson. I think Dabo needs to do some serious tweaking to the program before next year. Something is wrong with the program.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: TNET: Clemson standout opts out of bowl game


Dec 13, 2022, 1:19 PM

Normally I would agree but the portal and NIL are not specific to Clemson.

Even Bama is having this issue!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Something seriously wrong with the program????


Dec 13, 2022, 1:21 PM [ in reply to Re: TNET: Clemson standout opts out of bowl game ]

I don't know about that. This is a larger cultural problem that Clemson happens to not be exempt from . . . that is true. But it's a hard sell to suggest that it's a programatic problem with the Clemson culture specifically.

Frankly, I think Dabo's sort of between a rock and a hard place, here - he wants to try and preserve the culture of bringing in recruits that are well-vetted for his program's culture and then developing them, and so he doesn't want to use the portal as a plug-and-play goodie-bag, but yet, may have to use it out of sheer necessity - but then you loose some attachment to the program and stability due to that, too, so what do you do? I don't have all the answers, but it doe seem clear that the symptoms are not Clemson problems so much as broader cultural ones.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Something seriously wrong with the program????


Dec 13, 2022, 2:21 PM

I agree with all of that with the exception of calling it a cultural “problem”.

I don’t see any moral issue with a player looking out for number one when it comes to playing time or money opportunities. Neither of those are without risk, but it should be their choice.

I may not like it, but I’m not going to get bent out of shape if a player opts out.

If you don't want to be a Clemson man and embrace the culture from the beginning, you should not get to come here. Period. I fully support Dabo's disdain of the transfer portal. We should not jump on that bandwagon.

Regarding everyone saying Murphy made a business decision considering he's going to the NFL...there are a lot of players who went to the NFL and played in their team's bowl game. It's supposed to be about the team. Insurance can be obtained to protect against the risk of injury which might negatively affect an NFL draft pick spot! That would be the proper business decision while staying true to your brothers on the team.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: TNET: Clemson standout opts out of bowl game


Dec 13, 2022, 1:22 PM [ in reply to Re: TNET: Clemson standout opts out of bowl game ]

Then something is wrong with every program in the country. Every team has players entering the portal and pretty much every team that's played a non-CFP bowl game has had players opt out of the bowl game in the last few years.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: TNET: Clemson standout opts out of bowl game


Dec 13, 2022, 1:26 PM

I'm comparing Clemson to Clemson. Clemson has always stood head and shoulders above the crowd as far as the culture goes. Something has been amiss the past two years. Not even sure what it is.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: TNET: Clemson standout opts out of bowl game


Dec 13, 2022, 1:43 PM

We've stood above everyone else how exactly? Players opting out of bowl games is something pretty recent that mainly started after the Jaylon Smith injury in 2016. We were on a run of making CFP games during that time which is why it hasn't impacted us before. We got lucky last year, but we also didn't have any obvious high draft eligible players on our team last year.

We've literally had players leaving through the transfer portal since it started just as every other team has. Many teams are losing starters to the portal, at least Clemson has only been losing backup players to this point.

Dec 13, 2022, 1:19 PM

MM needed one thing this year 2 other DE's on the depth chart that could produce consistently. The best thing that could have happened to MM was Xavier Thomas being healthy. If XT and KJ Henry were there to deliver, he would have had to produce to stay on the field. Period. Talent, ability and XT not being healthy kept him with the 1s. If XT had been healthy they could have parked his butt on the pine more.

If you could bottle the heart of the Will Shipleys and Hunter Renfros, and put it in the bodies of the MMs, you'd never lose a game.

He played through the season though and even played an extra game in the ACC Championship. Championship games and bowl games are referred to as the postseason aren't they? Many teams out there failed to qualify for a bowl game and players on those teams had their season completed after 12 games. Do college players get extra education, and room and board whenever they help the team qualify for extra games?

He had a couple of those games early in his career, but always underperformed. And as others have said, he's been checked out all year. Probably our worst starting lineman?

Not making the final 4 and and having a shot at being a high draft pick will give any college kid a reason to consider opting out. It was only a matter of time for it it happen to Clemson.
