Being older than dirt, I can admit my errors...

So with that being said, I don't see the kind of success for our Tigers in term of Wins in 2017. We are loaded but someone's got to lead the loaded.. A smart man once said if you've got 2 QB's you've got NO QB's. I fear 8-4 which will cause some people to hurl themselves from the upper decks in disbelief and ESPN is dusting off the "C-word" for our game against Auburn. Again, I pray I'm wrong but we've got just too many questions to be answered in such a short time. 15-0 or 8-4 I love this team and my university! Go Tigers!

I'm not older than dirt but after having watched Clemson football for 30 years I can tell you there would have to be some real disasters in this season for this team to drop 4 games in the regular season. You guys jumping to conclusions based on a scrimmage against what may just be the best defensive unit in the nation blow my mind. Doomsday predictions at this point are very premature and echo the cries of coot journalists coming out of Columbia. Not saying you're a coot but hold off on that kind of prediction at least until we know what our guys look like going against someone besides their teammates.

Five or six practice days I would be surprised if the Tigers were in top form! If we played tomorrow, we might have a rough time.......... but we don't play tomorrow. Ease up and let's see what the country's best coaches can do.

We could wait and see how we respond to Aubum but, if we lose to Aubum, we won't be able to lose another game to be considered for post season play. I really don't think that Aubum will be our toughest game of the season. FSU and Louivile will be, and both are in conference. That means that we can't afford a loss to Aubum IMO....

Yes. I posted something similar earlier today. We have the talent to come out of September 4-0 but going 3-1 and running the table from there on out we can get in the playoff. Time will tell. Chemistry. Execution. Leadership.

BTW I forgot to mention something I stated earlier today as well. The first month of CFB tends to be whacky. Offenses tend to start slow. Even our offense last year did. So did the Newton lead Auburn team in 2010. I know it sounds silly but we just need to score more than our opponent and get the W. Don't be discouraged if the O is not firing on all cylinders out of the gate. If I went off of the Auburn game last year to guage our team I would've said there was no way we could win the National Championship. Look what happened. I love to be wrong sometimes.

Cool man. I was hoping I didn't sound harsh because that's definitely not what I meant to be. I know the concerns but I'm a glass half full kind of guy when it comes to the unknowns with this team. This ain't the Bowden era if you know what I mean.

The National Championship, it's time for T-Net to form a militia and take over Bristol, CT.
