WHAT? This is the first time we've ever been on


Oct 7, 2014, 3:48 PM

upset watch, right?

No? We're on it EVERY WEEK? Okay. I'll go back to worrying about uniforms and coin tosses.

To a team with a better overall record? We have to be the most unfairly treated successful football program in the country.

ESPN sports writers try to be objective rather than simply throwing Clemson on upset alert week in and week out because we have been dominating the conference for 3+ years now. It's poor journalism.

Yes!! Let them come in all swell-headed, thinking they are going to overpower us. Then hit them in the mouth.

I like that. I'd rather we were the underdog. I must admit that our thinness on the OL against the #1 defense in the country scares me. Our OL will have to play above
their talent level in order for us to win. And , our defense will have to step up again. Scary game. Some of the younger guys will have to grow up and bring it.

slumdog, check out the teams that Louisville has developed their "best defense in the land" ranking. Not very impressive. Tigers will by 18!!!!

Re: FB Update: Clemson on ESPN's ACC Upset Watch

So we should be scared of team that has the #1 ranked defense when they have played Miami (Sucks), Murray State(Awful), Virginia (EHH no one cares), FIU (Who in the he** is that), WF (They should all just quit), and finally Syracuse(It's not basketball).. If we playe dthat schedule we would have the #1 defense too.

You make a good point. I think our OL, such as it is, comes through and we win.

Extremely well said. there is one shining light for us in this, though. Beating up on their "stellar defense" will make us look that much better. It will happen!

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Louisville defense is #1 based on numbers


Oct 7, 2014, 3:56 PM

but Clemson's defense is much better

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I totally agree


Oct 7, 2014, 6:48 PM

and I believe if Clemson comes into the game totally focused, it won't be close.

let's ask this simple question...


Oct 7, 2014, 4:08 PM

did they have Bama, Oregon, Oklahoma and/or UCLA on last week's list?

Since the answer is "no", I probably ain't going to worry about this much...

well even "any at all" for that matter.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Not surprising since none of these teams are from the ACC


Oct 7, 2014, 4:11 PM

and this is the "ACC" upset watch. lol

I don't know much about this Andrea Adelson character, but she does not seem at all confident in her own analysis. For me, the quote below says it all. I guess she's trying to stir up some controversy to get more views.

"If Louisville can force him [D. Watson] into mistakes, the Cards could have a chance. But they need their offensive line to have the game of their lives against the best front seven in the ACC."

Sometimes the road to the truth is so elusive it's confusing and reality becomes illusion.


Re: FB Update: Clemson on ESPN's ACC Upset Watch

Their lives at ESPN would be so mundane if they didn't have Clemson to hate on. Guess they're going to praise Patrino in the same way the love up on Jimbo . Glad they were thinking of us.

Why don't they play someone with a pulse before they beat their chest about having a great defense.

I may be proven wrong and no offense to Tajh Boyd, but I...


Oct 7, 2014, 4:57 PM

don't feel the young man wearing #4 overlooks opponents and has a strong will to win each game. I'm not saying we cannot be defeated, and certainly OL injuries could haunt us.

But, Dabo has already proven we take care of the Wake's and Duke's. I believe DW is taking us to yet another level - 'Cool Hand Luke' under center (or in the shotgun)... the fact that Venables appears to be taking every facet of our defense to the next level is even better.

It's only been two FBS wins so far this season, but it's the improvement in those games as well as the FSU loss that I'm seeing which has me so optimistic. Until they actually do overlook anyone, I'll stand behind this outlook.
