Its not like we were making it rain championships before Dabo took over.
Win this weekend...everyone will be back on their knees for Dabo.
Win the bowl game...everyone will be back on their knees for Dabo.
Lose both? Then what, fire a guy who just won 9 games?

Clemson's bowl situation is really pretty solid
Nov 28, 2011, 8:36 PM

Don't get me wrong - I'm not happy about this end-of-season collapse, and no bowl game aside from the Orange Bowl can make up for it.
However, if we lose the ACCCG, we get to either face an SEC team right down the road in Atlanta, or we get to face the Fighting Irish since the Champs can use it's Notre Dame clause this year.
All three of those bowl situations are entertaining, even if the end of the regular season is horrible.

Tiger Fan or Whiner - Which are You?

We have over achieved with this team all year and the fact that we are 9-3 is awesome. I don't like the fact that our senior leaders are hiding in the closet now that things have gotten tough but they are all we have. Maybe they will surprise us by growing some stones this week and punching somebody in the mouth. If they don't it will be a long Sat night.
Fact is, we need a talent upgrade on both side of our line of scrimmage and everyone knows it. They are soft and the rest of the team feels it. They haven't dominated anybody this year and don't seem to want to prove that they can. We need a little case of "nasty" before Saturday night.
We haven't lost the game and I perhaps we wont. We haven't lost the opportunity to play in the orange bowl and perhaps we won't. We haven't been invited to the Champs bowl and maybe we won't. But what we are is CLEMSON and we should be: behind this team, behind our staff, and looking to kick some Hokie *$$ on Sat night. Go Tigers!!!

i'm 1000% tiger for life but it comes at a price. the powers that be got a taste of huge fb success and a folk hero coach and found it not to their liking and know they can mostly fill the 80,000 seat stadium on the cheap with a slightly better than mediocre product and not feel like the university is overshadowed by the football program.

9-3 is accepting mediocrity. Certainly not awesome!

Are you kidding. We play 12 game regular seasons now. Back in the 80s when you only had 11 game regular seasons, then yeah 9 wins meant a little bit more.
9-3 is not awesome. When you are 8-0, 9-3 is not an acceptable way to finish.
If Clemson just beats the teams they are supposed to beat each year, we should have a minimum of 9 wins every year.

Good post - we clearly overachieved.

And people seem to forget that lately. It's hard to go undefeated and extremely hard to win on the road. A flawless home record is a good start to returning to championship form. We just have to learn to toughen up on the road. I will take 9-3 all day long.

the problem is , we all know how much better this team could be with proper coaching and leadership . and we hate to see it all go bye bye while Dabo gets on the job training .

What does Dabo have to do with that?
Nov 29, 2011, 10:22 PM

Shouldn't that be the coordinators/position coaches?
I'm a Clemson football, basketball, and baseball fanatic (in that order) and I support whoever the coaches are.
But to say that the reason this team isn't better is because of Dabo getting "on the job training," which considering he is in his third year is a little bit ridiculous to keep saying, is just ignorant.
