Relax Tiger Fans

By my count, there have been 1,742 posts and 41,987 words concerning whether or not Clemson will be in the Final Four. I don't want any of you to worry about this. Worrying will turn your hair white, if you have any, and make you so crabby even your dog will run and hide under your bed. It takes talent to worry successfully and since I am well experienced in this area, I have volunteered my services so that all of you can relax and enjoy the remainder of the season.
All we need do is to for the Tigers to win out. My crystal ball is shining brightly. Don't let one little blip in the first quarter of any game conger up an idea of ending it all by jumping off of the top floor of the Empire State Building. Just wait until the final whistle, get out your hand held calculator and add up all of those Tiger points. You will not need the calculator to add up the points for our opponents. All you will need is your ten fingers but if you want to add a little spice into your life, feel free to use your toes.
If we end up undefeated and the ACC conference champion (and I fully believe we will) there is no way the committee will not include the sitting, and next national champion, in the final four.

Exactly my thinking, Joe. I may not have the longevity

with Clemson you've had, but mine is up there at over 55 years since my freshman year.
I've learned one hard lesson: steady my nerves and maintain my composure.......unless it's gametime. Then, all bets for rationality and calm are off! lol.

what do these teams have in common?

AP Poll - 10/20 1 Alabama 2 LSU 3 Ohio St 4 Clemson 5 OU 6 Penn St 7 Florida 8 Notre Dame 9 Auburn
Answers: 1) They are the "elite" in today's college football. Top 10 programs.
2) Other than Florida - who Clemson hasn't in the last 50+ years - every team on this list has a big "L" the last time they faced Clemson. Most of them in the last 5 years. And most of them by multiple TDs.
3) They all scared Clemson gonna continue that trend. For many more years to come.

I would add, enjoy every morsel of the naysayers. It makes for a fantastic video collage after we win it all. Those are my favorite spoils of the Natty. Too much fun watching these pundits explain how they could be so wrong.

Very wise advice. I hope the ‘flock’ are listening to you.
I helped solve my anxiety problem of early polls while I was in Louisville this weekend. All of it had 100 proof stamped on the side. For the next few months I will be one cool and relaxed dude while the sports world tries to figure out what I already know. Who’s number one? I’ll let you know who wins but unfortunately mr van winkle will not be in the running! He’s on IR!
Football wise we all know who the champion is.

And know the going rate for Pappy there. Hope it was a bucket list item, because it can be had for less if you spend a lot at Total Wine. Hope you enjoyed it. Truly the “nectar of the gods”!

That is something I have never had and probably never will. From what I’ve learned you have to sign up for the lottery and hope your name is called so you get a chance to buy a bottle for a $1000.00 ! I am on the crazy side but not that crazy, I’ve got some good stuff that is within my budget however. Most recently, single barrel Henry McKenna is close to The Buffalo as far as affordable bourbon goes. Old Bardstown is good too.
