The Doggie fans really believe that Dabo will have our team ready to be humbled on Saturday night. We'll see! We do need to see some of that old time, smash mouth Tiger defense, that UGA fans well remember from the 1970's and 1980's.

I must have missed Clemson playing in the ACCCG!! I could have sworn that it was FSU vs GT in that game. I also could have sworn that FSU beat Clemson head-to-head last year?
Let's not get all cootish and start claiming crap that isn't true. FSU won the Atlantic fair and square last year...on the gridiron.

Why don't you suggest that to the players and the coaches.

Fans opinions don't count. They have no blood and sweat invested.

It's all about how you spin it: (last 20 years)
-One ACC title in 20 years
-One BCS bowl in the BCS era
-Only two 10+ win seasons in 20 years
-6-11 Bowl record in 20 years
OR
The Dabo Swinney era: (4 seasons as full-time HC)
-3 Atlantic Division titles and an ACC Championship
-Two 10+ win seasons the last two years
-2-2 record in bowl games (including win over SEC top-10 program LSU)
-36-18 overall record
-23-9 in conference play
For as much grief as the coots and others like to give us about bringing up 'history' - they sure do a lot of it....and like Kirk Herbstreit said, and at what point exactly did Clemson 'pull a Clemson' last season?

You know, maybe they are right.. Hopefully we can at least get to 6-6 and maybe go to the Belk Bowl. That might be kind of fun.

Any team in any sport that chooses to "lower expectations"

for any reason
should just give up.
What garbage. The real tragedy is that someone got paid to write that article.

But yet, nothing mentioned about the stupid Gamecocks who has only won one division title since joining the SEC. USC has zero championships in any form!

The guy is just a hater... and a Tennessee grad too.

Also, we haven't had one of the most talented rosters in the ACC every year in the last 21 seasons. A handful of Bowden teams earned us that stigma.

The day Clemson lowers expectations ...
Aug 26, 2013, 1:48 PM
|

You can come lay me in the grave because life will no longer be worth the effort.
The times we come up short, the times we might miss the mark will never be justification for lowered expectations.
We will expect the best ... because we are the best.
We are Clemson.

NC talk is a little premature. Go win this first game and let's see where we go from there.
