I don't give a d@wn about individual awards, coaches accolades, or outstanding offensive games versus horrible ACC opponents.
What Clemson fans care about is WINNING THE GAME.
ALL OF THE GAMES!
Is the goal to have great statistics & awards or is it the goal to Win a National Championship?
Bowden was fond of falling back on statistical BS after losses. I'm tired of statistics, I WANT VICTORIES. I WANT A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.
The only statistics that a winner quotes are wins & losses, because that is the only one that matters.
Enough excuses, enough BS. Just get tough &win.

Get a life! With all the turmoil in the world, ESPECIALLY IN OUR COUNTRY, football has a very low priority in the overall scheme of things. Functioning minds KNOW this! I can speak with some degree of experience having flown 36 combat missions playing a small part of giving us what we have. People with attitudes like you make me wonder. The future of Clemson football is in good hands.................the future of the country isn't!

Just noticed "clemsonfan2000c" is also a fly boy but from a different generation. I admire and respect your service to our country but think as a "fellow throttle jockey" for Uncle Sam you would recognize the REAL importance of football vs OUR country trying to survive.
