I would like to See Tajh Not on TV too much until After UGA

I myself am already at a point to where of the pre-season hype is wearing on me....It is great, but until we actually finish the job these are distractions.
I have called FSU "The Best Pre-Season Team in America" becasue of the hype the receive only to fall flat on their faces....I don't want Clemson to fall into that trap
Until the UGA game is over, I hope Dabo, Tajh and everyone else stays off TV as much as possible.

They...and the fans become intoxicated with success, media attention, hype......
Then GT hit us in the mouth and we were never quite the same.

You really think that it was media hype that ruined us?

Maybe it affects elevated fan expectations, but every team that is in the national title conversation will be affected by media hype one way or the other.
Media loves us: can either give us confidence to win or it can make us too arrogant and lose Media hates us: can either make us want to prove them wrong so badly we win, or want to prove them wrong so badly we lose. Media ignores us: can either make us skirt under the radar and win games with no pressure, or pressure of not being respected for doing well causes us to lose.
People act like media attention is a bad thing or a good thing. Its really neither. A great team with great leadership will handle any kind of media attention with success. A poor team with poor leadership will not be able to handle media attention or lack there of with success.

Media Hype...Like Booze should be Consumed Responsibly...

Dabo himself said that the team did not handle success well....
Competing at the highest level will naturally generate media attention....All I am saying in my post is that we are all going to feel pretty lousy if UGA breaks it off in us to a point where it could cost us a few games like it did a few years ago.

And all I'm saying is that no one gets more hype than Bama

And they've handled it rather well. If we are a great team with great leadership we'll handle it similarly. I'm not sure our leadership was as good with our 8-0 start with a first year starter in Tajh that we will have this year.
If we lose a game this year, I fully expect our Seniors and staff to recalibrate our players similarly to how our loss to Scar last year did not affect our play vs LSU

I am really Glad You Mentioned Bama....

I was about to make this comment but chose not to...
Saban keeps his staff and players on Lockdown from the media for the most part. I have seen Nick Saban absolutely go off on reporters for disrespecting obvious cupcakes....
Saban cannot stop the "hype" that has been earned(Unlike Clemson), but he handles it in a very focused and successful way.

I agree!

I am always very nervous anytime we receive too much attention! I don't want our players to go out on the field against any opponent and expect to win! I want them to go out and fight for every win! I know we have a super talented team and have some of the best coaches out there! And I know these are different players than years past, but its hard to forget the amount of times that we as a fan base have been burned for being too confident. Just my opinion!

It's Media Days. Somebody has to show up. Tajh is as good

as ANY player I've seen at handling the press. I don't want to see any cockiness, obviously, but reserved confidence is where we want to be.
