Lets take a look at Clemson football.............(long)

Dec 2, 2013, 11:35 AM

I can recall just a few short years ago when the mention of Clemson was a rarity on any sports media outlet. We all complained about the SEC bias and how Clemson was ignored in place of our competitors to the south. Only recently has Clemson become a nightly topic on ESPN and other outlets. In spite of our failures against 'them' and another team in the league, Clemson is now highly regarded by those who promote the game. What a tremendous step forward this has become in such a short period of time. Coach Swinney and his staff have truly put Clemson University on the national map and have taken the ACC with them. Most importantly, they have achieved this attention by doing things the right way. You just don't see Clemson in the news for all the wrong reasons. Something many of our competitors cannot say. We have achieved enough good publicity all year to keep us in contention for a lucrative BCS bowl. The loss Saturday to our neighbors from the SEC hasn't really damaged our standing with the football folks who matter. This certainly does not make the loss any easier to accept and I, just as you, am still upset.

Keep this in mind as you evaluate our season. With the exception of a few key players, Clemson is still a young football team that will certainly improve in the future. We are also a young team with respect to the coaches. Dabo is one of the youngest coaches in BCS and I know that he will admit that he is still learning the game. Some coaching errors have been made in big games. I assure you that coach S. and his staff learn from this and will build on this knowledge that they acquire each game. There are very few national championship contenders that have a coaching staff as young as ours. Remember Coach Morris is just a few years removed from high school.Do you think that this staff has reached their peak? The players give their total support to this staff and we fans should do the same. Things are going to great for Clemson right now to abandon ship. Jump on board and see if we can't build on this great year.

Please do not respond to this post by reminding me that we have lost to usuck five times!
