The kids are spoiled. I blame Dabo.


Jun 26, 2018, 9:21 PM

It wasn’t too long ago that hated go to games at Death Valley. Not because I hate Clemson, or my family. No. It was because I hated the nearly silent car ride home after a loss. Sometimes you get beat. But under the Tommy’s you could almost tell when it wasn’t gonna be our day. If the team looked excited as the got off the bus, it looked good. If they we subdued, probably not.

Thing is, we rarely lose at home these days. 20-1 over the last three seasons, and 39-3 over the last six. And I have a strong belief this team will stretch that record to 46-3 by the end of the year.

Could you imagine a time 10-20 years ago in which Clemson would lose only once every few years at home?! Not me. Thanks Dabo. Keep doing the thing. You obviously know what you’re doing.

Home games in the 2Tommy era were sometimes a crapshoot . You'd hope for the best . Not against FSU , but Maryland or NC State type games .
These days , under Dabo Swinney ... and I hate to sound pompous ... we just simply rule the valley and the other teams do the hoping .

I remember those years when I was excited to be confident that we would have a winning season!

was a good Christian man, you could always tell in the first few plays how it was going to go and rarely would it change course after that. Ralph Friedgen was right, come out and punch Tommy's teams in the mouth early in the game and they were done.

1974.Undefeated at home, but roadkill on the road. But, just the fact that the undefeated home season was worth a Pepsi bottle tells you how starved we were for success back then. Do not take it for granted now. As the OP said, we are spoiled now.

Correct me if I’m wrong but we are 46-3 right now over the last 7 seasons. We were undefeated at home in 2011. Our 2011 record was 10-4 and the 4 loses were to GT, Nc state, sc, and West Virginia all away from home. Anyways GO TIGERS!!
