A concern I have, and let me preface this by saying


Dec 13, 2018, 7:11 PM

I am a one half empty guy vs half full. Hate it, but that is how I am. Purpose of this text is to say it appears to me that the majority of our fans think it is a given that we will beat ND, so most TigerNet chatter involves the championship game.

All I am saying is, when we played Alabama to win the national championship, they were favored and most of the nation did not think we had a chance.

I think ND is in the same situation and, being an 11 point underdog, gives them extra incentive. However, Dabo can prepare a team for a big game as well as anyone. He always says, “the next game is the biggest.” So, that does give me some comfort.

Let’s beat the Domers and then talk about our next game.

P.S.

This is a true heartfelt post, I would appreciate no negative replies, but, I am sure someone will make a sarcastic remark.

It will be interesting to see how the team plays now that we are finally not the underdog in a CFP game. They should be motivated given the importance of the game, but they will not have the usual "disrespect" card to add some juice.

Don’t worry we will win both games, that’s exactly why the guys came back, win another National Championship that we can hold on to forever!! 2-1 against Bama in Championship games, only Dabo and these kids could dream it!

My only question is - if we win it all, which year will UGA retroactively claim as their 3rd National Championship?

1st TigerNet will be disappointed OU will beat BAMA.


Dec 13, 2018, 7:29 PM

This BAMA defense isn’t as good as last years and Tua probably want finish the game. Lastly the fans feelings about a game has no impact on the game. Both teams will be pumped to play in this setting and I think we will see a well played game.


Clemson 45
ND 17


OU 52
BAMA 42

I do think we should beat ND and I think Oklahoma will give Alabama all they can handle offensively, but I don’t think Oklahoma has the defense to play a you score, I score game.

You should also apply your glass half empty approach to ND.


Dec 13, 2018, 7:46 PM

How does ND stack up against us, position by position?

How do ND’s coaches stack up against ours?

How does ND compare to us in terms of big game/playoff experience?

How are you feeling about Clemson’s chances now?

Totally agree and I don’t understand why fans want to rush through playing in the Cotton Bowl, one of the original New Year’s Day games, against Notre Dame! Drink it in, every single day leading up to it and every minute of the game while it’s going on. It’s what is in the windshield.

Me too. I won’t sit down the entire game. I’ll be walking a path until the clock ticks down to 00:00. It doesn’t matter what the score is unless we are winning by 50

It doesn’t matter what anyone says and it never will. There’s a reason we play the game. It’s fun to discuss what we think but the outcome is never a lock until the final whistle blows. Both teams have high motivation so here’s hoping there’s orange in the end zone all night long and green on the ground.

Dabo's approach: one game at a time...one game at a time.

We haven't won a d@mn game until we win it, so I'll look forward anxiously to the next...which, by the way, I believe we can win.

Rest assured, what happens on Tigernet has absolutely no bearing on whether the team wins or loses.

I won’t be sarcastic to you bc u asked nicely, but


Dec 14, 2018, 4:29 AM

I will be factual.
1) What we say/do/eat or anything else will have 0 effect on the game IMHO.
and
2) Our players don’t get on social media until after the season. Not that it’d effect the way our staff gets this team ready to play on the biggest stages, but just addressing it.

Go Tigers!
