For all the "we have to focus on GT!!!" crowd

No, we don't. We aren't coaches or players. The point of a sports forum is to discuss hypotheticals, unpopular opinions, etc.
As much as it might upset you to hear, us fans don't have that kind of power.
With that being said, I look for us to play our best game of the season in Atlanta.

Cus a real fan wouldn't talk like this because a real fan would know it takes EVERYONE's FOCUS to win!

Clemson's performance yesterday despite me being black-out drunk at the game?
It's science.

Any tried and true experiment requires a large sample size.
We have to keep pushing forward and running trials. In the name of science, of course.

You need to be black-out drunk for every remaining game this season so that we play well. If you fail to do so and we lose, then all of Tigernation holds you responsible.

Navy pulled a guy out of the crowd to play QB this season, true story.
That's why I train every day in case Dabo needs me at WR, super focused. I have to buy a ticket close to Clemson sideline and I warm up between plays. Surprised you haven't seen me.
Eyes on the prize. Not looking past GT at all.

Do I need to focus on focusing? Or focus on being a focused fan? Or simply focus on being a fan, even if it is an unfocused one.
Oh my gerrrrd.

I agree to an extent, but I think players pick up..

on the vibes and energy of the fans and the press etc etc. It's probably minor, but for some reason I think it's a slight factor. Of course is doesn't really matter what I think down here in South Florida. Might make a difference what the vibe in closer to Clemson though. Am I wrong? Maybe I am giving the fans too much credit.

We need to set some ground rules
Sep 18, 2016, 2:39 PM
|
|
Can I pee during the game? How many beers am I limited to? (Per possession, of course). Can I still call them nerds? Where do my girlfriend and her needs fall into this.
Ok, the girlfriend thing was made up. Whatever.

Bottom line if we cant take care of GT fairly convincingly then we arent nearly the team we think we are (and by we I mean CU fans)

Id have to disagree with your generalization

That one game predemeditates an entire season. Sure, it can be an indicator but each opponent is a unique plan of attack and a different season unto itself.
The outcome of other games only correlates to a certain degree with other match-ups. GT is a pain. It is more about discipline than it is about talent. We just need to get the W somehow someway.

AHHH no worry. We have Venables and he knows how to handle GT. It is not like it changes that much for sure.

Butterfly Effect
Sep 18, 2016, 9:46 PM

Although I feel that it doesn't matter all that much what we talk, the overall atmosphere could, more or less, affect players' mindset.
It's like...
Everyone said we're gonna roll over Auburn and Troy. Media said the same. Players bought the hype and thought it could be easy.
Do you think players or players' friends read message boards or media outlets?
Your one message may not do any harm, but if everyone says it, who knows?
