Unfortunately Dabo...

There will still be people here unhappy even if you win them all...
Don't worry, we don't like those folks any more than you do.
GO TIGERS! BEAT SCAR!

No. There won't be anyone unhappy if we win them all. That's stupid. That would have meant we wont a national championship, which is the ultimate goal in college football.
I like Dabo a lot. But maybe that attitude is why we've been murdered on the field the past 3 years.

Anyone who is unhappy with an MNC is a Coot.
It's understandable to be unhappy with a 4th straight loss to SC.

I was taking the opportunity to criticize some on TigerNet.
But good on you raising the ante and criticizing the head coach instead. wondering if it'll be you or me complaining when we win them all.
My money is on you...

I guess, dude. WTFEver
I can't believe you have to nerve to say that someone who's not happy with getting spanked by SCAR for the 4th straight year wouldn't be happy with a NATIONAL TITLE.
If you're okay with losing to South Carolina...that's your problem. Not mine. But don't put words in my mouth.

Most years it would. And I was assuming that one of the games in the "win them all scenario" would be the title game.
Then all the folks bicchin' about the ACC would come out in droves. Lol.

Please!!! We have been losing to a better coot teem. This time though, I think we are a little better than the are with the home field advantage. I think that the only way we could lose this time around. Would be for us to have to many turn overs on their side of the field. I think we could recover from 1 maybe 2 turn overs ending with points. I really do b/c our Offense I believe is that good. I really do believe that!!!

You have no idea. I'm sorry. I'm a Clemson born fan all my life. But DAbo grew up here in Alabama. There is no rivalry uglier than auburn and Alabama. He understands. Or maybe do u want to bring back Bowden and lose to the Wakes of the world?

I agree with what he said. Yes its the most important game, yes a huge rivalry, but a ten win season is no need for disappointment! I remember coot fans saying" we don't care about anybody but Clemson" are we saying this now... I hope the Hell not!!!!!! Now I have had enough losing to them and this year we shut them down and make our run!!!

I'm not sure if it's a defense mechanism to cope with the worst case scenario...or if people truly don't care about losing to the Coots.
I hope it's the former.

Well Dabo, I would swear on a Bible that there are a few that feel they could live with losing 11 as long as we beat the coots. But I'm not one of them. I would be so freaking mad about the 11 losses, that I wouldn't give a pile of the coots own chicken poop for that win. You lose 11, you have to get the flip out of Clemson and fast. Lose 11 straight and the coot game don't mean a coot pile of poop to me. I want to win all of them just as bad as the coot game. But since we are in state, a coot loss is just harder to get over.

That is a tough question to answer. You have to balance how important the SCar game is and not diminish the accomplishments of the rest of the season.
Yes we will all be extremely disappointed if we lose Saturday and its not acceptable but it doesnt make this a bad year. Just makes a good year end on a sour note.

Raise the Bar!
Nov 20, 2012, 6:09 PM

Let me give my two cents worth:
This conference is an absolute JOKE and IS the reason we are so poorly rated in the BCS. You would have to be beyond an idiot not to realize that. So, when you only play a couple good teams a year, and one of them happens to be the Lamecocks, guess what, it means even more, if that's possible. Add to that we have lost THREE IN A ROW. If Dabo can't figure this out, he needs to go NOW.
so, if our AD is worth anything, he needs to let Dabo know in no uncertain terms, if you lose Saturday, you are on life support. If we fall five times in a row, I'm pulling the plug and the Tigers will have a new HC, regardless of our record.

Teams this yr. otherwise, yeah we won the games we were supposed to but none of the supposed even matches. In hindsight we should have never been challenged by auburn and Iwill chalk that up to working out the kinks

Finally someone that has taken off their "orange"-colored glasses and can see reality. If you exclude FSU (10-1), the other 10 teams we played had a combined record of 48-62. Add them back in and it's still 58-63. FSU is the only current top-ten team we played and we lost to them. Our rivals opponents were 69-52 and three of the teams they played are in the current top ten....and oh yeah, so is our rival. If we cannot beat the 6th best team in the SEC, is our program really where we want it to be? Is it ok to go 10-2 but not even win our division in the ACC or beat our in-state rival? I will leave that up to each of you individually.

You guys are truly something. You obviously read into something whatever you want. Your comments tearing down Dabo are not consistent with what he said. Not once in this article did he diminish the importance of the rivalry. In fact, he said:
"Yeah would it be incredibly disappointing if you don’t win this ball game? You dang right. It’s not only the biggest game of the year. It’s the most special."
He was simply stating he is not willing to chalk up the season as a failure should we lose. I hate the Gamecocks and hope they lose all their games every year, but I agree with Dabo on this point.

We have played three of the top five coot teams in history...

each of the last three years. This year the chickens again have one of the top five teams they have ever had. I think we win Saturday, but how would Tommy Bowden coached Clemson teams have fared against these four coot teams? The coots that we beat under Bowden were less than mediocre.

to a BCS bowl, but we will not for losing to a Sakerliner team that is on a downward slide at the moment....especially at home. Confidence and discipline will win this game. No excuses! Keep our focus and play our game and we will win. Happy Bday my man, but remember, losing is not an option.

Keeping It Simple: Win the Games where we are Favored
Nov 21, 2012, 12:10 AM
|
|
Dabo has the team on the rise. We are winning at home and winning against inferior opponents. With the poor talent of the ACC, this is every team but Fla State.
It is a short window. Offensive Line has grown a bunch this year. Defense has shown brief spurts of improvement and BV is the right man for the job. O Skill Players, Tajh, Sammy, Nuk will be gone after next year. Ell-Train after this year. Chad Morris may stay next year. He may not. He will certainly be offered more than Dabo currently makes to take over as college program HC next year.
Back to the point. We have to win SC game when we are favored at home. Win it Dabo. Do not talk about it. Win it. Then CELEBRATE! Go Tigers!

They must beat USuC. That is what Clemson does. When you play in a crappy ACC you have to judge your season by how badly you beat the coots.

SO,, is that why we have only done it twice(counting this year) in the last 20.... think about it.. Wake , and the bunch were no better in 1990 than they are now.. but we somehow didnt always win that set up 10..... Dabo has brought a winning attitude to Clemson again .. i like being in the top 15 all the time.. makes living with these Aholes in Alabama easier..
