ESPN Bashes Clemson's Chances with LSU


Dec 3, 2012, 2:03 AM

ESPN absolutely made a mockery of Clemson on today's selection show. Sometimes it is good to look at things from the outside in but i was not expecting what was said. Lou n crime plead that Clemson's offense has no chance against an SEC defense and showed it last week. Also that Clemson plays soft and not physical enough to win big ball games. My opinion Clemson just got out coached vs USC. Now round 2. Dabo you know your defense is good against stopping the run when needed, but everyone sees the weakness = LSU i guarantee will attack your secondary. BC I WOULD

I wonder sometimes if a lot of the folks on ESPN....

...might actually be "coached" to create controversy because they know it sells.....

...I can emphatically say yes. The whole point is to create controversy. You usually wind up with two groups of people: the outraged, and the bandwagoners. Either way, it helps ensure both groups tune in. You never want to say that both teams are going to play well, and it'll be a good game, because that DOES NOT SELL.

Well, I can tell you what does sell these days -

How is it bashing if it's true?


Dec 3, 2012, 2:59 AM

Did you already forget what happened against USuCk? We DID get beat physically. Our offense DID get shutdown.

Not sure what game you were watching but I saw our boys get pushed around after the 1Q. Simple as that.

The 'bashing' will quit when we get physical and put up numbers against LEGIT defenses.

No argument here....

Our performance against quality SEC defenses have not been so hot!!!!

Dec 3, 2012, 7:22 AM [ in reply to How is it bashing if it's true? ]

here with this thought, but how badly can a team be dominated and only be down by just 3 points late into the 4th quarter. Get a decent call on a horse#### interference and you are all of a sudden not dominated? Did I attend a different game?

Re: Know I am outnumbered


Dec 3, 2012, 8:49 AM

You are right...but you don't let Clowney take over a game like that...if you have to keep a tight end in and double team so be it....and there are other things I think our offensive staff could have done to adjust but for whatever reason...did'nt. With that said I think the thing that bothered me more than anything...was there was a time when if an opposing player showed up a player like Swearinger did AE......at some point in the game, he would have got lit up. Im all about being classy....but sometimes even classy people have to punch a bully in the mouth.

Re: Know I am outnumbered


Dec 3, 2012, 9:25 AM

So you want a 15 yarder after a big gain? If that had cost us the ball game you'd be crying about our guys need to keep their heads about them.

Re: Know I am outnumbered


Dec 3, 2012, 9:52 AM

I agree with you in most instances.....but I stand by what I said...they are situations where you need to show that you are not going to be intimidated. That was one of them...so to answer your question. YES. On another note....you would never see me complain about a player backing up a teammate...even for the 15 yards.

To add to that.....

If you would have read my post I said "AT SOME POINT IN THE GAME......not necessarily right after that play.

And you think they're wrong? What confidence do people have that we can attack a real defense?

Well then why don't you leave the SEC and join the ACC?

Re: ESPN Bashes Clemson's Chances with LSU


Dec 3, 2012, 7:39 AM

It's not that we don't have the players who can, the questions is will we have players that have the want to.
Yes this is a time that Dabo and Coaches can/should set the fire inside the players and find the ones who have the want to, so many times over the past 20 years I have seen the Tigers playing with the mind set of turning the other cheek, but now is the time to finish the saying and take an eye for an eye, I know the Tigers have Coaches & Players who know how and want to play back-yard football

rather comical though. He fought so hard to say that I thought he was going to have a brain aneurysm, not to mention the amount of spit he sprayed!

What's there to disagree with? Against our two biggest opponents this season (FSU and USCe), we #### the bed.

And when I say #### the bed, I mean bloody ####. Like when you get raped in the butt, then take a ####.

Re: ESPN Bashes Clemson's Chances with LSU


Dec 3, 2012, 9:34 AM

I guess until we win one of those games we can't argue too much. However, coming from ESPN (the SEC's personal sports network), you cannot take anything they say to promote the SEC seriouly or at least without recognizing their bias. They never seem to mention the SEC's pitiful academic standards and the fact that they have many players that would just not be admitted to ACC schools.
