In the words of Dabo after the heartbreaking loss to Alabama in the NC two years ago.... “it’s just football.”
Yes we love our tigers. Yes we hate to see them lose. Yes it’s hard to understand some of the decisions the coaches made, and it’s hard to understand how in the world the O line of Syracuse could line up against our front 7 and physically beat them all night long. Hard to understand why the entire team just looked a hot mess.
But...
It’s just football. The sun still came up this morning. We still have a great team, no matter how poorly they played last night. We are still in the playoff picture if we take care of business from here out. It’s not the end of the world. Our guys will bounce back from this! In some ways, this could be a blessing in disguise. We will be humbled and lessons will be learned all across the football program. And we can all get mad and bent out of shape if we want...but the fact is that if the Clemson Tigers never win another football game as long as I live, I will still bleed orange!
And I know y’all would too. Now take a breather and send some positive vibes and prayers to our program...this’ll be a tough couple of weeks for them but they will bounce back!
