Where are all the "fail" posts about Bama?
Dec 26, 2013, 10:00 AM
|

Clemson loses a game and the media goes insane with comments like "Clemson fails again" "Clemson once again disappoints" "Clemson can't win a big game" "Clemson proves once again that they can't play with the big dogs" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
What about Bama? OSU? Mizzou? UGA? SOUTH CAROLINA? Heard NOTHING about them losing to Tenn! Wow. Rant over. Carry on!

*Bought 3 out of the last 4 BCS NC trophies

Alabama has yet to win a national championship in their entire history without cheating. Every year they've won one some story comes out with a ton of evidence showing the was foul play involved.

Saban runs a good program. They're not cheating any more than anyone else is. They're the best program in the nation, plain and simple.

If we were able to get accolades based on previous years of success, people would still be praising Clemson since they beat 2 top 10 SEC teams in a row.

Sooo you saying if Clemson only lost by a fg to SC and barely beaten by FSU that we wouldn't see the same comments? Think again.

And AuBums win by the flukiest play in college FB, and they are being call a NC contender over FSU. I hate fsu, I really truly do. But I hope fsu beats AuBum down.

Here's the deal

Alabama has won a case full of NC's. When there is a big game they show up. It can be argued Clemson played exactly three teams with a pulse this year: GA, FSU, and @SC. In two of those, Clemson was beaten by two scores or more.
Not really hard to figure out but, hey, if you want to try and compare 'Bama and Clemson I'm all ears.

Margin of victory does not matter
Dec 26, 2013, 3:55 PM

In the early 1900s, John Heisman beat an undermanned Cumberland team 222-0 as Georgia Tech's head coach to prove this point. Whether you beat a team by 1 or by 100, all that matters is what's in the W/L column.
Plus, I could understand if Clemson lost to some unranked teams like Stanford did, but they were both losses to top 10 teams. Why does that look so bad, huh? And don't give me crap about the Florida State game. They blew out everyone they played this year and have the #1/#2 scoring offense and #1 scoring defense. Why should we be singled out?

Not a good argument to compare to Ala. However...

you can make the same post but substitute Ala with usc losing to UT, or Stanford to Utah, or Fla to Ga Southern, or UGA to (your choice) and I think you would have a point.

Maybe Bama was a bad choice as prime example but your point is mine exactly. Clemson can never lose another game without being raked over.

As bad as SC's loss was to UT; we beat #5 Mizzou on the road; #15 UCF on the road; and #6 Clemson at home.
Clemson beat #5 UGA at home who is now #22.
Hate it for you but "Clemsoning" is now a part of the CFB landscape and will continue until you guys actually beat someone other than WF, BC, GT, and the like.

to teams they should not have lost to. It had nothing to do with beating top teams.
So usc this year is a PERFECT example of Clemsoning. You beat #5 on the road, but lose to a terrible UT team!!! Maybe we should start callin it "cocking".

That would be nice. Then they could say they were cocking and it miss fired. But knowing them, they would say we kept cocking and firing, never mentioning the missing!!! Those coots are awesome, awesome at talking up losses, making it sound like they actually won. You gotta love it, the way they can make negatives sound to be positives!!!

UGA beat you with a beat up super star RB. You beat Clemson at your place with Clemson turning the ball over 6 times with score even going into 4th quarter. You beat Mizzoo with there back up QB in over time. A healthy you lost to a bad Tenn team. Now what is it that you are bragging about. As usual, NOTHING!!! As before, TELL-EM COOT!!! Your big brother syndrome over reacting still again. Get your bragging about nothing over with now, b/c you know its over.

LOL you mad bro? All I read is excuses. BTW that "back up QB" at Mizzou beat UGA at home. Also, you failed to mention we played with a backup QB at Mizzou for all but 1 Quarter. And our QB was hurt and immobile.
Rage on.

"Clemsoning" was defined as losing to a team you're not supposed to lose to. Both teams we lost to this year were ranked in the top 10. Besides, the arguement against Clemson used to be how they would choke against lesser competition. Now, that doesn't happen anymore so they need something ELSE to hold against Clemson.
Let's face it, Clemson is one of the most hated teams in college football for whatever reason. Even when we're having a good couple of years, people still find reasons to constantly bash us. It's pretty unfair, honestly.

It is crazy that we really can't lose a game at this point against a decent team and not be critiqued badly. OK lost to Texas by a huge margin and they don't get the same heat, when was the last time OK won a title... 2000. And before that 1985. Yet they continue to fail in big games and ESecPN doesn't critique them the same way as Clemson. It's bc a team like OK doesn't threaten the very fabric of the SEC. It's all big money propaganda! I'm an very disappointed in our losses this year. But we lost to 2 top 10 teams.

Part of the game and, for five years, a lot of those were forced. Doesn't matter. Funny how you don't choke the ball up against the Dukes, WF, BC, GT, NCS of the world. Wonder if there is a correlation?

You're not the only good team we've played
Dec 26, 2013, 4:03 PM

We've played a lot of good teams in the last 5 years other then you and still won. So, if your arguement is that better team forces turnovers, that's not necessarily true. If that were true, Clemson wouldn't have beaten a lot of their other good competition (some of which were better than you were any of those given years).
Let's face it, Clemson sometimes make themself nervous and coughs it up in big games. Not trying to discount your win, but how did we keep it within 14 playing you at home with 6 turnovers? You take away two of those inexcusable ones (punt muffs) and there's overtime right there.

Actually, yes.
Dec 26, 2013, 4:07 PM
|

1954 - Alabama 0, Auburn 19
1955 - Alabama 0, Auburn 20
1956 - Alabama 7, Auburn 21
1957 - Alabama 0, Auburn 22
1958 - Alabama 8, Auburn 23
And if you want something more recently, Auburn won 6 in a row from 2002-2007. Alabama's highest point total during that time was 23 points.
See, people need to GET THIS THROUGH THEIR THICK SKULLS. Clemson isn't that only one that sometimes has a bad string of years against its rival.
