Don't get me wrong; Clemson has had a hell of a season so far. I was figuring 0-3 from Auburn through Virginia Tech. But the exact inverse?
Against an SEC team other than South Carolina? Looking at Clemson's history, that's a loss.
Against a Seminole team led by Jimbo Fisher and not Bobby Bowden? Possible loss.
Against the class of the ACC who's owned Clemson's ass for years? At at their own hostile backyard no less? Definite loss.
Didn't see that coming, and now the Tigers are perched at No. 8 in the AP poll and are coming home to face a horrid Boston College team. Undefeated at the halfway point is some serious momentum.
But we're not even at the halfway point yet. Yet to hear the multitudes of fans desperate for championships, you'd think ACC commissioner John Swofford flew up to Blacksburg and went ahead and handed the conference title trophy to Dabo Swinney after the game. I get the excitement and that you're desperate for it, but let's not lose our goddamn minds here.
Have you forgotten Clemson's penchant for letdowns throughout the season? Remember 2000? 2006? The one play each of the past few seasons that has been all too costly?
I know you aren't going to sober up anytime soon. You've already got Clemson pegged for Charlotte, NC, and then again in New Orleans just like that dipshit ClemsonTom out there in YouTubeLand. I hope you're not out there driving around or otherwise operating heavy machinery with the bender you're on.
It's absolutely crucial for the team to sober up TODAY to prepare for the Eagles. I think it's a win, but until Clemson actually goes through a schedule WITHOUT losing to a team it should stomp, it will always remain a distinct probability that they have the capacity to blow it.
Look at it this way, Clemson hasn't “dominated” these games. They've been wins, sure, but they've been ugly ones. Very fugly. How many three-and-outs did Clemson have this past game? How many dropped passes? Or have you conveniently overlooked these warts? Do you think if this shit doesn't get corrected soon that it won't catch up with them? Chad Morris is all too aware of this swelled-head syndrome, yet you're not and you are more aware of Clemson's past than Morris is.
And all those turdbrains chanting “Dabo Dabo!” after the team arrived back in Clemson? Have you forgotten that it's Morris that turned around this offense and, quite possibly, the entire team?
I'm pulling for them as much as you are, but let's not chalk this up as an ACC title season until they actually win it. Can you actually grow a brain and remember the past before you start banking on the present? “Cart before the horse” ring a bell? Okay?
