This is Clemson baseball. A long proud tradition. If we wanted these kind of results we could’ve kept Jack. Duke is a mediocre team. Clemson was at home playing for a chance to go to the playoffs and gave up 14 runs in four innings. That’s totally unacceptable I don’t care how young they are! You said some of these kids could be playing professional. Most of them probably. That means they should do a hell of a lot better against a mediocre Duke. I get so sick of people making lame ### excuses! I get so tired of Clemson people making excuses for coaches because they’re good people. I don’t care how good they are. They chose this profession. It is a results oriented profession. Win or get fired! Otherwise you tell your fans, donors, alumni, and season-ticket buyers that you don’t care about winning. And if that’s the case let’s just get rid of the #### sport! Clemson doesn’t have but a handful of sports left as it is. That means we should be trying twice as hard in every sport and 100% committed to winning championships in every sport!

On Packer and Durham a few weeks ago PAC said that Stanford has won a national championship every year for 41 consecutive years.

They also talked about UNC, which has 52 national championships and over 265 ACC championships, which is over 125 more ACC championship than the next best school!

Three other schools have more ACC championships. Duke is only a few behind us and FSU is catching up fast despite only being in the conference for 30 years. They joined the 1991 compared to us being a charter school when the conference was founded in 1953. Yet chuckleheads on this board mock these programs all the time, especially UNC. One of the other programs ahead of us in championships is NC State. Another target of wise guys on this board.

I’m not happy about it and it pisses me off the way our AD is run while the admin tries to BS us into thanking best is standard for all athletics at Clemson! Only an idiot would believe that!

The frustrating and sad thing is a lot of people on this board and a lot of Clemson fans don’t care as long as we win in football. As an alum I want us to be excellent in everything! Or at least try!

You’re making excuses! And it’s a total BS point! If we compete in less sports despite having a huge athletic budget then sports we do compete in we should be more competitive.

Your point is one of those things that looks logical and sounds good on the surface, until you do the slightest bit of research and find out it’s totally moot and irrelevant!

If look up ACC championships and national championships it’s not because they have twice as many teams. The overwhelming majority of their championships are in a handful of sports. It’s not like UNC has an equal number of championships in all their sports. The vast overwhelming majority of their championships are concentrated in a handful of programs. So it makes your point about them having more teams irrelevant.

Furthermore, it doesn’t matter how many teams we field. If we are serious about baseball, soccer, golf, basketball, etc. and had a commitment to win in those sports like we do football, like other schools do in multiple programs, we would have more championships! But we don’t have that commitment. Good God we didn’t even have that commitment in football between the Danny Ford years and Dabo. Max Lennon nor Barker had any desire to be successful in athletics!
