I thought we could win before this started.

I've never believed we would lose a game and by dern I never will until the score and the time prove me wrong. Of course I'm a believer in The Christ so faith is not much of an issue to me.

Jesus, Clemson and FSU all have a proven history. Faith in Jesus is historically reasonable. Faith that Clemson will whoop up on FSU this weekend is blind.
I am hopeful, I think it is possible, but after UGa and after USC beat UGa, my faith in this year's football team is informed and not positively.

Since I"m in a foul mood for some reason, let me add; do you realize that the guys in Vegas who make a mint off this sort of thing expect our performance and competitiveness to be along the lines of The Citadel? I'm a Citadel grad, I see a compliment in this as to my alma mater, but I was raised a Clemson fan and this should be an insulting reality for us all. Worst still, they have reason for asserting this. In other words, even with the great hope that they are wrong, they are not crazy.
We have a lot of talent on the field and on the sidelines, but something aint clicking - at least we havent seen it yet.

After only a 3 pt drop (17 pt underdog now I believe) I can see that the odds makers weren't basing their calculations heavily on the FSU star QB.

Heard a bookie say they thought Winston was worth 6 points. So they cut it in half.

You don't understand Vegas lines.

They set the line to entice people to bet. If nobody is betting on us, the line increases. The line is where it is because most betters are putting their money on FSU...not because Vegas thinks we are on el cids level. A 20 pt spread will get them closer to even money, which means that they make money no matter what happens in the game.
If you still want to be insulted, fine.

Who cares what people think no matter what Clemson does how good we play or whatever we do as a team people will think and do whatever makes them sound smart. So just win and let history decide!!!!!!
Go Tigers!!!

Being a 20 pt. underdog is an insult to our program. I hope that we are better than that !What do the so called experts see in Clemson that makes them a 20 dog ? Go Tigers

The Tigers must be even, or ahead at the half to pull this out. From all accounts, the talent is there. I don't think there is any doubt that once the second half begins, Florida State is gonna bring it. Very interesting scenario.
