I felt really good after the pass to Ford for 18-20 yards to get down around the 30 or so. It was a great back-shoulder catch on another pinpoint pass from Tajh. It put us in FG range with around 37seconds left.

I actually thought we was going to win it when Tajh and Nuk made the 4th/16. LSU D was out of Gas, and Tajh was on it. I knew that Cat Man would be good for 50 in a dome. I kinda knew it was ours on the big 4th down play.

Also while holding my 9yr. old granddaughter who is a die hard Tiger, and praying, "Dear Lord please let her get a win." Praise the Lord, my prayer was answered! Hugs galore!

oh, most definitely after the epic 4th down conversion!
it had the feel of those two Giants Super Bowl victories over the Patriots [for me]. on each of those final drives, after Eli's completions to Tyree and Manningham, i just KNEW that the tide had turned, despite the Giants yet needing to cover a lot of turf. same thing on New Year's Eve, baby! there was a feeling of inevitability after Nuk's sliding catch...for me...

Just that feeling
Jan 19, 2013, 2:18 AM
|
|
I saw it in Boyd's eyes when he took the field. When I saw his eyes on TV they were emotionless and ice cold. I knew at the point that he was in the zone. Never in my years of watching football have I got chills when seeing a Clemson QB taking the field on a drive to win the game. I will say when it came down to 4th I knew it looked bad but watch the replay of the game and tell me Tajh was not ready for that. It was like it was the first play of the game to him.

it wasnt tajh that worried me
i had no doubt that he would lead us down the field especially after the 4 and 16
as soon as we converted that i just started getting flashbacks of the auburn fg
it was all whether or not catman made the kick in my eyes and i was nervous till it went through
catman had a great year and is a great kicker and i had no reason to doubt him in that situation i was just a being p***y i guess lol
but in the end it went through and i went nuts with joy

Early in the fourth quarter.
Jan 19, 2013, 4:37 AM
|

After that I never doubted we would win. We trounced LSU's defense and had them on their knees the entire quarter.
The only thing that surprised me during the fourth was that LSU's D held up so well for so long. I don't think I've seen a defense play with that much heart.

needed the win, I couldn't believe we would be stopped with that 4th and 16. Thus, once converted, I actually believed we would go the distance. Of course, when the ball sailed through the uprights, I needed no more convincing. lol

posting again, as it seemed like an old friend had been away. Glad you completed your move successfully, then got set up for more TNet activities. Your posts yesterday about your struggles and ordeals were inspirational, and IMO a MUST read for any person, young or old who faces daunting challenges...and I admire you for your courage and tenacity. I salute you.
As to my nocturnal habits, I like to rise around 4 a.m. daily...however, I'm being to wonder if I shouldn't try to go to bed before 11 p.m. Thank God for strong coffee! lol

I didn't really miss T-Net that much while I wasn't able to participate in these discussions. When I'm here a lot you can bet I've nothing else worth doing.
Somehow I've gotten my sleeping pattern all messed up. I might stay up all night and watch old movies on TV then sleep 2 to 12 hours during the daylight. It's a sign of something deeply wrong in my life I just can't put my finger on it. There's something wrong with an old man who wishes for desolation.
Being alone here on a mountain and being rained in for the last two or three weeks has given me plenty of time to reflect on how good God has been to me throughout this life.
There's something about not working that denies me of the desire to rest/sleep while making me lazy at the same time. I feel like I'm in the wrong body sometimes.

They hadn't much luck running the ball the entire 4th qtr.
Jan 19, 2013, 8:25 AM

We'd held them to -6 yrds before that last first down completion of 7 yrds or so.
I think Les made the right calls and our D ends just read the plays and cut off the passing lanes. If you'll review that series I think you'll agree.

I don't know if it would have mattered. Clemson still had two timeouts left when they got to the LSU 20.

I could see it coming early. The other tigers were dragging late in the game and the real Tigers were ready and able to make that last drive. Hats off to the excellent SandC staff at Clemson. They helped us win a very, very big game against that conference that is so well loved!!!!

Instead of getting it 'Done to'.
I was there in the 80s when all you asked was ball possesion on final drive with a little time left on the clock. (Needed a little more time with our run game.) You could sense the fear of the other teams. They knew what was coming and could NOT stop it.
Same feeling to end 2012. And it felt goooooood.

Same point for me. I'd say after Nuk's catch inside the 25 our chances were 65% (in my mind). Then after Humphries catch I was 80% sure. When LSU let us bleed the clock to make it a last play I was 85-90% sure. I was concerned about us kicking it to them the way our coverage had been that night.
