New Story: Swinney knew in August the Tigers had a chance to return to Playoff

Swinney knew in August the Tigers had a chance to return to Playoff

Early last Sunday morning, as the confetti flew, and No. 1 Clemson celebrated another ACC Championship. head coach Dabo Swinney leaned over to defensive end Austin Bryant and whispered, “They didn’t think we could do it.” Full Story »

Which talking head kept saying "7000 yards lost"?


Dec 8, 2017, 8:07 AM

That was Corso before the season saying we had no shot because 7000 yards of our offensive production was gone. Nobody was giving us a chance before the season. The talking heads were all talking about FSU and barely gave us a mention. I think Pollack has become a true believer as he tweeted a few games in that everyone needs to stop underestimating Clemson. "Don't do that!" he said. I didn't expect us to be this good, but I definitely knew we had a chance, esp. with our defense.

I love it when they doubt Clemson and the team keeps making all of these talking heads look like complete uninformed fools.

They don't believe bc they soon forget all the talent that we recruited a season or two before we become NC. I personally mentioned a few times last summer when folks harped on we lost a lot of good players to the NFL, and I would say something to the effect that we had recruited well and we haven't seen those guys play much but we had talent that just needed more experience. Just as we will only see a special few playing from this years recruiting class this year, but bc they aren't playing their first year, it doesn't mean that they are no longer talented. They are talented, and they will get better without us hearing about it. Every year that we have a good recruiting class coming in, expect to hear their names called again a couple of years later, and they will be as good as what we saw the year before!!!!!

before the season started I bought my 12 ACCCG tickets! I have to admit to some sweat after the Syracuse game but had faith in the Tigers. So, family and friends from Charleston, Travelers Rest, Raleigh and Charlotte had a great tailgate and game. And, best of all, after we win our 3rd Nat Champ in Atlanta, next year is looking pretty good!

We Believe

The non-believers are slowly being converted, primarily because they have been embarrassed too many times. To be sure, there was a legitimate question about Kelly. Not that he didn't have the talent in passing and running, but in reading defenses and reaction to stressing defenses. Imo, he got a snootful of stressing defenses with our own Tigers. Even many TNet fans doubted him as our best QB for this year and were quick to scream for HJ or ZC, who are great QBs, but needed the same seasoning KB has had.

Well, our Tigers are headed into uncharted territory with a real chance for a 2fer Natty. I believe we have the best chance of the 4 as we have easily the most balanced O and D. Dabo was right, again!

And that is bc he has know what he has on his roster everyday that he wakes up. Players that has been forgotten bc they didn't play as TF, he knew who they were and how they were coming along on the practice team everyday, they have had that out of sight, out of mind effect on most fans!!!

They're going to say the same thing next year because of the people we lose, or potentially lose, on D. And Herbstreit and Pollack will be reminding everyone about this year's reloading job by the coaches, not to mention the fact the #1 offensive player and #1 defensive player in the nation signing LOIs as part of another stellar class.

Dabo may not get Coach of the Year, but I wouldn't trade him for Frost, Smart, or especially Richt. Wouldn't trade him for any coach in the nation, for that matter.

Dabo is our coach of the year regardless of who voters that don't have a clue votes for!!!
