Are you still in a funk, as I am, after our Tigers missed playing in their 3rd Natty?!

Guess I'd become spoiled & a bit satisfied with the surreal 2016 success and honestly didn't believe they'd be in final 4 this time around after losing so many talented players..
but when they finished the regular season @ #1, I became a bit entitled mentally and felt we'd gut er done and play our way to the championship game again..
but never envisioned Bama's D being so nasty mean
to our O Team and shutting them down without a Touch!
Geez, that sux big time & crushed my ego to the bone and thus I'm down..Still!
How bout You?

Always sucks to lose, but after the initial funk the day after, I realized what a bright future we have when we make it to the playoffs in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year.
I remember the days when rebuilding meant we'd probably miss going to a bowl.

No, I turned to basketball to cheer me up, which worked pretty well til Donte got hurt just as we hit the UNC-UVA stretch. But still hopeful that our younger players can keep the round ball rolling.

Not really. I'm still celebrating our NC from a year ago. Hope we get another soon, but I took that loss easier than I did 2015.

#2, #1, and #4 that last three years respectively. I know of some teams that haven't finished at any of those spots in over a hundred years.

Hartins is due home any minute and he'll tear a limb off that tree and tan your hide when he hears about this.

Good grief no. That game was almost a month ago. That’s a month

that I would have wasted feeling bad about losing to the national champions, instead of being excited about:
1) winning the ACC for the third time in a row.
2) going to the playoffs for the third time in a row.
3) bringing in a class that is about one third five star recruits.
4) bringing in a few “six star” recruits on the D Line who decided “one more year”.
5) having amazing success after losing NFL caliber QB, TE, WR and RB.
This is hands-down the golden age of Clemson Football. Get as nostalgic as you want, nothing compares. That loss ruined my evening on 1/1 but that was it. Way too much to love about this program, the success of this past season and the success to come.

You can't tell me this mother ###### isn't a troll

Most likely some 30 year-old in his mother's basement who fabricated a persona for himself in order to reconcile years of disappointed and missed opportunities.

Not really. Our guys exceeded expectations, IMO.

I will take a 3rd straight ACC title and #4 in the country every time in a "rebuilding" year.
Pre-season I honestly thought KB would be replaced by game 3 and he was great for 12 games. Not a perfect QB and not DW4, but no one ever will be. Kudos to KB.
My only disappointment was how the season ended. We had no answers against Bama and I am still convinced we're just as good as them. If only Cain made that 3rd down catch. If only we didn't screw the pooch on the first series of the 3rd quarter, I am convinced we could have won, as UGA should have. Then again, maybe Satan (I mean Saban) put in Tua against us (he planned to but didn't need to) and Tua lights us up.
Pay your money and take your chances.
I'm not in a funk. I'm proud.
AND THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!!

I’m way over the game didn’t really bother me too much because I kind of expected what happened.
I was hoping we would maybe try to have HJ ready in case needed .
At least change things up if Bama shut us down but oh well I guess you go with what got you there.

No. It’s been almost a month since we lost.

It’s sad if you are still allowing that loss to affect your life and this point.

Wearing a Clemson shirt going through the Fort Lauderdale airport this morning. Gentleman said he was a long time fan and sits in a luxury box and has for years. Asked me what I thought and I told him 12-2 after the expectation was good and, while disappointed, I could not find a reason to complain.
He said the team was lousy and very inconsistent. Spoiled is the right word. Do you think some people would prefer "Perfection or we stink" as next years slogan?
