If You were told 10-2, Orange Bowl Vs Bama at the beginning

Dec 1, 2013, 5:37 PM

Of this year, how would you have felt?......

I am still taking this all in and like all of us, it is an emotionally frustrated time.....

I personally don't really care what the coots are going to say.....I can handle that. I am more concerned about Clemson's future.....

I see a number of faults with the program that are valid, but overall we are in great shape.

It took Clemson 30 years to finally find a coach to start putting together back to back 10 game winning seasons. Dabo fixed that…...

We now have the second longest winning streak over unranked teams second only to Alabama rather than “pulling a Clemson”...Dabo fixed that….

In all likelihood, we will be going to our second BCS Bowl in three years probably playing Alabama…Dabo is making that happen.

Now do we have problems? H3ll yes…..Some of it is play calling, some of it is execution and some of it is lack of skill and talent. Play calling and recruiting can fix some of that.

Tajh Boyd’s career at Clemson is good for one more game and then the torch gets passed along. We are going to be fine at QB and WR for many years. We need a stud RB and the O-line needs to get better…period.

Our D-line played pretty good last night I thought, but Offensive screw-ups and crappy special teams play put more on them than they deserved.

What’s next?.....

Now that Dabo has rattled off 3 straight 10 win seasons, it is time to start winning more league titles, going and winning BCS Bowls.

We have got to get control of South Carolina….at least to the point of back and forth wins…..this losing every year isn’t going to work for long. He needs to fix this next year.

If we go to the Orange Bowl and somehow win it, all of the petty bickering will go away…....It always does…Now if we draw a pissssed off Alabama Team, it would be a great opportunity.

Dabo is not Tommy Bowden or Oliver Purnell as I have read by others...I will say he is now on that Mark Richt/Mack Brown shelf of being pretty #### good but stuck in a sandbar needing to get the boat unstuck.

I want Dabo to succeed because I like the guy. We are at a level now that most programs would be tickled to have. It is good to want more, but we are doing pretty freaking good.

Dabo is a GREAT coach and we are so fortunate to have him. Yes, we choked under the big spotlight twice…we can fix that. I am a bit disappointed that we can't teach our D to strip the ball. I am a tad bit disappointed that we didn't create some 2-step drops/quick passes to nullifying the pass rush. I'm a tad bit disappointed with our special team drops…Adam is a sure-handed player. I am a tad bit disappointed with the development of our OL.

It is disappointing…to lose for a 5th time to that cesspool in Columbia…the capital of hoods, gangs, murders, & robbery. But when you think about all that we have…a GREAT head coach, two GREAT head assistants, GREAT facilities, friendly fan base, a beautiful campus and students that are normal, smart, nice, great fans...I am so thankful I'm a Clemson man, twice graduate, season ticket holder and a huge fan.

BOTTOM line…it's all fixable based on a GREAT foundation outlined above. Thank you Dabo, coaches and team for a GREAT season and go win your bowl game!

what if you were told we'd lose to SC again

I can handle losing to the coots....but...

Did you just say you can handle losing to the coots?

Let me be Clear....

Exactly.

I would be happy if SC was one of those wins.
