Looking forward to Charlotte!

Hey, everyone. I'm a Miami alum, and I just wanted to reach out to discuss the upcoming ACC Title Game. We're beyond excited to represent the Coastal Division (Finally!!), and I'm really looking forward to a great game with the Tigers!
I'm not here to trash talk (well, maybe a little). Honestly, Clemson is my favorite team in the ACC other than Miami). You have the best fans and best coach in CFB, IMO. I should probably be pissed at the 58-0 beating you gave us three years ago, but we truly deserved it. And it got Al Golden fired, so we have that to thank you for.
I'm intrigued to see how we match up with the Tigers. It will be a challenge to defend Kelly Bryant and the running game. Glad Deshaun Watson is playing in the NFL, but Bryant has really impressed me. I expect we'll try to attack Clemson's offense much like we did ND. Manny Diaz is comfortable putting 8 in the box and leaving our CBs in man coverage on the outside. Priority will be stuffing the run and containing him. I expect Bryant will have to throw the ball successfully to win.
On offense, I think we're improving but still too inconsistent. Rosier has been a slow starter, though that wasn't the case against ND. He's streaky, but he's been protecting the ball much better. Key will be if Homer can get going, and Rosier can use the read option to open up the passing game.
We've been getting better every week, and Richt has done a great job of playing underclassmen to improve our depth. Hopefully we can keep fine-tuning over the next 2 weeks, without suffering any injuries.
I think whatever happens, it will be close at the half. Our coaching staff has been fantastic at halftime adjustments, and I think that will be the key.
Anyway, I hope and expect both teams will win their remaining games. Most of all, I hope both teams make the 4-team playoff, regardless of who wins. We need a repeat ACC champion! Interested to hear your thoughts.

(since you joined the ACC) I believe the visiting team has won each game. Interesting to me to see what a neutral site produces given that.

Be ready for snippy comments and keep your sense of humor around here, you'll need it. Look forward to talking about ACCCG, after we beat a tough in-state opponent, The Citadel.

Hey bruh! Few thoughts about the big game.

Charlotte is a pretty much devoid of any culture whatsoever. However, they do have more BBQ restaurants than Cuban restaurants. Advantage Clemson
The weather will be similar there to the weather in Clemson. It will be colder than Miami. Advantage Clemson
We have poker chips, you have a gold chain that I don't think is real gold or it would have disappeared by now. Nonetheless, Dave Ramsey recommends gold over gambling. Advantage: Miami
Our most well known player created rap song is "We 2 Deep". Yours is "Seventh Floor Crew". Tie
We have no former players charged with murder. Miami has at least two. Advantage: Depends on stadium security measures
Will Smith never made a song about Clemson. Advantage: Clemson
Mark Richt's wife hands out gatorade on the sidelines. Dabo's wife does not. Advantage: Miami if we lose any waterboys to injury.
I wish you well, this should be intriguing indeed.

Concise analysis! 
Don't think there's any dispute that TheU is cooler, especially right now. We've definitely cornered the hip hop market. I don't think you get to claim the Superbowl Shuffle just because the Fridge was in it though. If that's the case, we're definitely claiming all the Fast and Furious movies.
Weather will be interesting. I'm glad our next two games will be in the cold, giving our guys a chance to get used to it.
FTR, the Turnover chain is real gold - I think 10k, since it gets handled a lot. And the stones are real! AJ Machado don't make no crap. Hope you get a chance to see it in person!
In any case, I think it's gonna be an epic game. Just glad our guys know how to pull games out at the end.
Go Canes!

of trivial factors which display complete disrespect for a visiting fan and his team. It's like the mange and junge had a baby.

I don't mind! I'm on your board - expect to get some crap. I've never had a Clemson fan be anything but nice in person, though.

Be warned while most welcome you and love to talk fb, there are some who are snarky and borderline offensive. But take heart, it’s not you, they treat everyone that way

I get worse in my fantasy league every day, I assure you. God knows there are some Miami fans who are total jagoffs. I apologize in advance if any find their way to your board. Some days, I can't stand to read ours.

Nice to have UGA's castaway coach, eh?
Congrats on your team's resurgence! I haven't been paying much attention to your team but I'm thinking we need to get Bryant's long ball form back from the beginning of the season. If we have that threat, and a healthy team, then Miami will have their hands full for sure.
Good luck against UVA and Pitt and see you in December!

Riche's move from UGA to UM was a win-win. Both teams are better.
