Help the Tigers go to the Meineke Car Care Bowl

Help the Tigers go to the Meineke Car Care Bowl

It has come to the attention of TigerNet that despite a 6-6 record, the Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte is very interested in Clemson as a candidate for their bowl game. Full Story »

It could not be any worse than what Syracuse did to us in 1995. I would love another shot at them. I have been waiting twenty years to play UCONN in something, particularly basketball, but I don't think this would be a time for our basketball team to get any type of revenge. I would get some gratification out of beating them on a hail mary pass as time expires....that would be, well, sweet.

I think UConn & WVU would be favored over Clemson. I think Pitt would be about even money. I think we could beat Syracuse but then again, BC beat Syracuse 16-7 and beat us 16-10 so there doesn't seem to be much difference between Clemson and Syracuse.

Some of you people make me sick


Dec 1, 2010, 8:44 PM

I am not at all happy with the current state of the program. But to deny the PLAYERS the opportunity to compete one more time, the extra practice time and allowing Boyd to start his run as a starter is just stupid. All of you who say you won't go, fine. Don't watch it either. How miserable is your life that you act like your life and the happiness in it is determined by Clemson football.

I'll be watching whatever game they go to. HOPEFULLY it will actually be on tv here in Afghanistan.

I want to win as much as anyone, but going to a game means a lot more to me than winning and losing. It's the tailgate time with my son, the time spent with friends and family. Win or lose I'll support the kids that go out and bust their a$$ for Clemson each week. Changes do need to be made, but not supporting this team when times are bad is just bad taste.

Re: Some of you people make me sick


Dec 1, 2010, 9:33 PM

I have to agree with this poster.....I am supporting my Clemson team no matter where they go because Clemson is my one and only team and these players give all they have each and every week. Yes, sometimes the long snapper gets a piece of grass in his eye, the field goal kickers are not wearing the right shoes or the laces are facing the wrong way, or the QB loses a contact just before delivering the ball to the other team .....sh*t happens. We really need to get back on the administration for allowing the entire athletic dept to go to hell...because it has. But keep supporting our players, they are our teams and do the best they can!!!
Go Tigers!!!

Dec 1, 2010, 1:11 PM [ in reply to This would be a good matchup from a recruiting aspect... ]

We were once a MIGHTY FORCE on the football field. Teams used to be LITERALLY AFRAID to come to Death Valley. And this was the case EVERY YEAR.

Begging to lose money playing in a crappy bowl just to make a couple of 2-star prospects think about maybe coming to Clemson is SO FAR SHORT of the big picture that it is humiliating and desperate.

If you want to impress recruits, then REFUSE ALL of these crappy bowl bids and make a PUBLIC STATEMENT that Clemson is better than that, and that every single measure will be taken starting TODAY...from the President on down to the Jervey janitor...to build this back into an ELITE, TOP TEN program ANNUALLY, and to put FEAR back into the hearts of ouropponents.

I'm starting to think that Tiger pride died and was buried with our sports program years ago...and there aren't enough people around who still remember those days of FEAR and DOMINATION. The majority now just remember mdiocrity, since that's all they've ever seen. And even worse, mediocrity now seems to be the goal.

So fax away and email to your heart's content, but I ain't doing it. We've got bigger fish to fry here. The sooner everybody in and around the program realize that, the sooner things may start to change.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I disagree


Dec 1, 2010, 2:17 PM

I agree there needs to be changes as far as the OC and AD go. But what the hell does boycotting a bowl game do for Clemson? Just helps lose the #5 recruiting class in the nation and run the program more downhill. I am pretty sure the Board of Directors know the disention...let's do OUR part as true Clemson fans and minimize the damage.

Re: Done! however...


Dec 1, 2010, 1:29 PM

The conference would not let Clemson turn down a bowl bid without good cause, for 2 reasons: (1) money, (2) image. The ACC front office does as much if not more back-door deals with the bowls than any other conference to make sure they get the lineup they want. Any team that dared to step in and screw up those dealings would get a lot more than a wrist slap from the conference, I suspect. They would probably withhold Clemson's allocation of bowl revenues. Remember, the ACC pools all the money that its teams make from bowls and allocates it evenly among member institutions.

Charlotte is not my favorite place to go bowling by any stretch of the imagination, but it has a couple things going for it this year. It's practically a home game. It's against what is presumably a decent-quality opponent (though given it's the Big East, that's questionable). And it will hopefully give our developing players--Boyd, Nuke, Brown, etc--additional in-game experience that they obviously need.

Also, I'd love to see us screw UNC out of a bowl game that's in their backyard. Send them to El Paso or middle-of-nowhere, Louisiana or something.

Whats wrong with playing another game,win or lose. I just enjoy seeing our team play . Besides there are 70 teams playing in "bowl" games and about half of them dont deserve a bowl. I say have fun with it and dont over-analyze this thing. Go Tigers .

Re: Help the Tigers go to the Meineke Car Care Bowl


Dec 1, 2010, 2:25 PM

All I can say is that its been a strange season. A season full of brain farts and lost opportunities, with few shining moments. This team was a continual tease in that it seemed to have the talent to win every game it played sans south carolina, yet they constantly found ways to shoot themselves in the foot.

The execution/chemistry on offense seemed to be the main culprit, as the defense routinely played well, though the "D" had some harmful miscues as well. They were in the hunt and competetive in every game besides the South Carolina game, where they looked over-matched. Though nobody likes to admit it, the Gamecocks were better than us for the second year in a row. Give them credit, Carolina won their division in the strongest conference out there, and did so convincingly(did you see them wax the Florida Gators to clinch the division?)

This team may not feel like a bowl worthy team, but bottom line is they are 4-4 in the ACC, and their two nonconference losses were to the 2 division winners(Auburn, South Carolina)from the top conference in America. The schedule turned out to be a bit overwhelming this year for the young, unproven offense, but 4-4 in the ACC and the fact that they were competetive and had a shot to win every game besides Carolina adds up to a bowl worthy team in todays bowl climate, where u have so many teams going to a bowl.

So hopefully they get to a bowl which allows them to get valuable experience for next year, and perhaps end the season with a win.

I sent an e-mail b/c I love going to bowl games and don't want to travel far this year. Charlotte would be a nice pick with as lousy as a season as we've had. I'm not a fair whether fan though and will support Clemson good or bad.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It's not that I'm against CLEMSON going to a bowl ...


Dec 1, 2010, 3:38 PM

I'm against any 6 win team going. It has weakened the prestige of getting a bowl bid. At one time, when there were 10 game and even 11 game seasons, 6 wins was a good standard. But even then the quality of wins came into play.

Now we play 12 games and a lot more of the smaller schools are FBS schools, such as North Texas and Presbyterian College. I think the standard should be raised so it's meaningful to go to a bowl game again.

Now that there are 12 games seasons and smaller schools being FBS schools, they had no choice but to increase the amount of bowls. The standards are lower than they once were (because of better chances of getting a 6 win season) so teams that normally would not be eligible, are.

With that said, I will be watching whatever bowl our Tigers get, and if it's in Charlotte, will more than likely be attending. That's because I am a Tiger fan! But Tiger fan or not, I don't think 6-6 is anything that should make us proud.

Why are we doing this.?


Dec 1, 2010, 4:42 PM

Correct me if I am wrong, but the reason why "Tigernet" folks have "campaigned" in the past was because we were not assured a bowl berth in 2001 (Humanitarian Bowl against La. Tech) and we helped show the Peach / Gator bowls that we were a solid money pick for them in past games.

But this year, the facts are this:
1st, Clemson is going to a bowl game. Its a Lock...

2nd, After the Tangerine Bowl (we are not going..) the remaing bowl are pretty much even.. Some offer a better travel destination, some offer a better opponent, etc.

So if we are going to a bowl game, and there is not much distinction between the games, why blow up the committees phone lines or equipment. Seem pointless to me.

Now if the team, had a specfic choice/request, then I might be inclined to help lobby for them. So the real question is, where does the team want to go? Let me know, and I will help..

But I am not in the mood to beg a bowl game to take us. Clemson Fans history of traveling well speaks for itself. If a minor league bowl is to stupid to realise this, then obivously the bowl game is run by a bunch of clowns. And is probably not a good game to go to anyway.

We need to blow up the fax machines when it counts. It does not count this year. So we need to save the ammo for a special occasion. Its kind of like wearing Orange Pants for big games (well that is a bad analogy.. but you get the point).

Just my thoughts.

Go Tigers.

Clemson will travel better than most teams. However, I think with the current level of dissatisfaction, far fewer Clemson fans will go to any bowl destination this year. I went to all the home gains plus Auburn and will not be going to any bowl game this year. I will watch on TV.

Bandwagon? What Bandwagon? Clemson Football has been an embarrassment for decades. Who are you kidding?

I'm a grad, I've been following the team for 40+ years and have been disappointed for about 36 of them. Even the so-called Golden Age of Danny Ford was an embarrassment in the end which left our rep in tatters.

Here is Clemson Football, without exception. They will always lose to at least one, and usually 2 or 3 teams they should beat. They will come up for air with a game, maybe two when they beat a team they should lose to. They will always play down to the level of the opposition.

Re: Help the Tigers go to the Meineke Car Care Bowl - Really


Dec 1, 2010, 8:43 PM

I don't think this team should go to any bowl. 6-6? They should have to stay home and think about how they played. Guess I'm a hard-ass, but I wouldn't let 'em touch Howard's Rock either. I didn't see an all-out effort this year during any game.

I also would not allow the Orange Pants until they earned the right to wear them, like an undefeated season at Memorial Stadium Note, I did not call it Death Valley. Death Valley? It's a joke. It's a wanted destination now. And Clemson is a great team to play for Homecoming. Odds are 50-50 you'll win, maybe better.

Clemson Football is an embarrassment to the state.

If I were god I'd clean house from the AD on down. I'd get their attention.

Its like begging the fat girl to go to prom with you cause all the hot chicks are taken. Then you make stupid excuses, like why shouldn't I go to my senior prom? Its good for my future.

Re: Help the Tigers go to the Meineke Car Care Bowl


Dec 2, 2010, 2:27 PM

I'll help Clemson get to the Car Care Bowl next year by asking them to follow some advice.

Don't give your best playmaker only 11 touches against UNC despite the fact it is clear they can't stop him.

Don't throw the ball 44 times (especially in the red zone) against FSU when the running game is effective.

Don't throw the ball 39 times against Boston College when they have the 104th ranked defense in the country.

Don't even bother getting off the team bus if you're going to flush 40 years of tradition down the toilet against your rival by looking disorganized, undisciplined, unmotivated and completely outclassed.

I'll admit I was wrong when I said hiring Dabo was just like extending the Bowden era. For all that was wrong with Tommy, he did almost always have a signature win and he did outcoach anyone from Columbia.

This team doesn't deserve a bowl game this year.

Re: Help the Tigers go to the Meineke Car Care Bowl


Dec 2, 2010, 5:41 PM

Really, you take the two "tune up" games out, which do more harm than good in my opinion...we should be playing mid & upper echelon teams ONLY, NO more push overs, hence I rationalize we are really only 4-6, and are not worthy or qualified for any bowl invite (but I do look forward to see exactly what Dabo does to MAYBE adjust or send a signal...if at all! If he doesn't, then THAT is a matter that should concern us ALL). Also, if by some miracle we get to the Meineke (without using knee pads), or any other inconsequential bowl, it almost gives TDP & Dabo a pass, and thus the fans lose accountability for a dismal regular season performance (and a mediocre 10-12 year trend), PLUS the BOT, Barker & TDP avoid the full wrath of potential lost ticket sales, IPTAY donations, empty seats, etc...the soft protests of disgruntled Alumini, Contributors and peeved Fans, that I submit is THE ONLY WAY they will make a costly, but meaningful direction and change in the Football Program! Those a-holes need to FEEL THE PAIN of a fanbase that is embarassed, and sick & tired of inconsistent tier2 program/results. Heck, nationally/regionally, CU has become a JOKE! I am as loyal as ANYBODY (but I am realistic), but our school, fans and players deserve better, which I contend is to return CU as a team and a force to be reckoned EVERY WEEK, in EVERY GAME, by EVERY CONFERENCE, that is how I expect the Tigers to ELEVATE!

Go Tiger Nation, and Happy Holidays Tigers & Fans!
