Clemson vs. West Virginia since Orange Bowl Massacre.....

I remember one of the ESPN Talking Heads talking after that awful Orange Bowl performance leading on that the 2 progams were probably headed in opposite directions. I don't remember which one of them it was but I remember him acting like Dana Holgorsen was gonna be the next College Football Coaching Legend and that Clemson and Dabo Swinney would disappear into mediocrity. So lets take a LOOK at what's transpired since that awful night in Miami on January 4th 2012.........
CLEMSON - 73-11 Win.% 86.90 2016 National Champions, 3 consecutive play-off appearances, 3 consecutive ACC Titles, Numerous player & Coaching Awards, 6 consecutive 10 Win Seasons, 6 Bowl Wins, 45 straight Weeks ranked in the Top 10, Wins against Alabama, Auburn, FSU, LSU, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Georgia, Etc
West Virginia - 44-34 Win.% 56.41 1 - 10 Win Season (2016), & 1 Bowl Win against Arizona State by one 1 Point 43-42 in the 2015 Cactus Bowl
I guess that ESPN Pundit was right about the 2 Programs headed in opposite directions. He just had the 2 mixed up!!! ??????

I really think going to the Big 12 has been a disaster for them

He looks like a caricature of some opioid-addicted, unemployed WV convenience store worker....and no insult intended towards the fine folks who operate Circle K's from coast-to-coast

If you could command Swofford and the ACC presidents, would you kick Syracuse out and replace them in the ACC Atlantic with WV?
I would. More fun to play them and better football environment versus the Carrier Dome. No drop off in basketball too with Huggins there.
Of course, I do enjoy seeing them exiled and excluded from both the ACC and SEC. Serves them right for their obnoxious Orange Bowl reactions.

I agree WV would be a much better fit in ACC.

Agree with everything you said, but haven't we lost 11 games since then? If memory serves we were 11-2 in 2012 (lost to Scar and FSU), 11-2 in 2013 (lost to Scar and FSU), 10-3 in 2014 (lost to UGA, FSU, and GT), 14-1 in 2015 (lost to Bama), 14-1 in 2016 (lost to Pitt), and 12-2 last year (lost to Syr and Bama).
That would put us at 72-11 with a .867 winning percentage. Still very impressive.
