You think there's not a "company line" at ESECPN? Herbie


Oct 2, 2022, 6:54 PM

acted like Fowler had tossed him a live land mine when he asked if Clemson was a playoff team again. Herbie visually blanched, and started stumbling over his words. I think he was shocked that Chris Fowler would commit such a snafu.

:)

Herbstreit is just trying to help keep that chip on the Tigers shoulder....screw him!

With respect, I think you’re searching for a reason to feel aggrieved here to fulfill the prophecy that the world is against Clemson. Fowler and Herbie have been good to Clemson over the years, on balance. Gameday could have gone to Oxford, but chose Clemson instead.

And who else gets what is essentially a 10-15 min promotional recruiting video to showcase the teams entranced? We couldn’t buy that PR, yet ESPN produced it beautiful for little ‘ol Clemson.

We belong! Some in our fan base (a vocal minority, I grant) need to act like it.

Go Tigers! Bring on the Bucknuts, the Pups or the Elephants. We're Clemson!

I agree. Go back on YouTube and watch some if the games from the last 5 or 6 years and listen to how he compliments.

For example, in the A&M game from 18, Kelly Bryant made a big throw in 3rd down, and Herbstreit said, "That's why you're Clemson."

very complimentary of us. He knows the history, and knows we are no flash in the pan. So, if he is suddenly hesitant about us, where did that come from?

Because he doesn't think this year's team is as good as the ones from previous years.

Probably from the fact that we had an underachieving year last year

and made all of the preseason their predictions about us look foolish.

You can’t blame them for waiting to see this year if we are back or not.

Does that explain why Herbie suddenly doesn't remember that Clemson fans come on the field after every game? Even though his kids went here? He used it as a sign of how far we've fallen a couple weeks ago. That seems deliberately contrived to push a narrative. And I don't even care about ESPN whining but that was flagrant.

ESPN went where the analytics told them to go for the money.

For the money? How does going to Clemson over Mississippi or some other place make ESPN more money?

Agreed. Also, in the ESPN playoff predictor 12 out of the 14 voters have Clemson in the CFP.
