Perspective for Buckeye fans lurking here


Dec 30, 2019, 9:20 AM

I’ve seen a lot of classy posts so this isn’t meant to be a broad brush on everyone. That said, I have lost count of how many times I’ve seen comments that the better team didn’t win Saturday night. Memo to those fans: your team was “better” for about 20 minutes of the game. Then the Clemson Tigers got off the mat and went 29-7. The better team handled adversity, made some critical defensive stops in the red zone, and FINISHED THE GAME. That’s what a “better team” does.

We hear a lot about championship DNA. Clemson has it. Whining about officiating and your athletic director making an ### about of himself on Twitter, simply illustrates that you aren’t on the same level. You have a great team and potentially are on the verge of something great... but not if your program keeps this up.

It's pretty simple...

whining, b!tc#ing and moaning about the officials by the coaches, the AD, and the fans is a losers mentality.

Winners, on the other hand, simply find a way to win.

Ohio State played a great game, especially for about 25 minutes, but at the end of the day, the better team absolutely won.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


Thank goodness Clemson fans never complain about refs

Or it’s been 3 years and folks still crying about the Pitt game.

I was there and to me, that game is history.

No reason to complain...

The officials in the Pitt game completely screwed Clemson and no amount of b!tc#ing, moaning, whining and complaining is going to change that.

Are you literally comparing a game played with refs from neither conference with no conflict of interest to a game head reffed by a graduate of one of the school's main in state rival, a conflict of interest that the ACC themselves acted on by banning his entire team from reffing another game of said rival? Not smart.

In the National Championship game will only be up for two weeks. We might have to ask for a special offering at New Springs?

I hope all the money went to the guys in the booth.

SEC refs are expensive.

"son, I've seen many games start out like this and turn around. Clemson will be okay."

I did the same with my 13 year old. Also switched seats and it all turned around!

My wife and kids are in Jersey to celebrate New Year's with her mom. She texts me at 8:38 Saturday night asking what's going on with the Tigers? (Forgive her, she is a Tiger fan by marriage and had no collegiate allegiances prior). I simply replied that Ohio State is a good team but there was a lot of time left in the game. And reminded her to have patience Grasshopper. Lord I'm glad that text aged well. :)

'Better teams' also don't take cheap shots. They


Dec 30, 2019, 9:59 AM

don't have to. The better team won, the better culture won, the better coach won.

Take your crying back to Ohio, lick your wounds, and ####.

Take their crying back to ohio and for good measure take all their transplanted citizens back too.

It wouldn't be a Clemson post season


Dec 30, 2019, 12:10 PM

If we weren't hearing some excuse as to why Clemson won, but wasn't really the best team. Same chit, different year.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It's kind of sad they set themselves up for greatness but...


Dec 30, 2019, 9:55 PM

...squandered it by whinning and being tools by claiming there was an SEC conspiracy.
