I mean Dabos refusal to utilize the portal is the their biggest problem.

College football is broken though.  Dabo was right about most of all that in reality.  It needs to be fixed IMO….not so much Dabo join the problem. 

the fix is probably in the middle but I don’t care if Dabo does his thing.  Frankly there should be a place for that model in college football.   Folks acting like Dabo/Clemson are the modern day Temple Owls or some poo lol.  They ain’t present day UGA.   That’s a long list of basically every power 5 school.  And a week 1 game vs the #1 team in got ugly in the 2nd half.

I mean, Clemson is the best program in the ACC….and that as this letdown version of Clemson (big picture they are)

so what do you do…realistically? 

You lose Dabo and most likely….you just get worse.   

Clemson had a HISTORIC run with Dabo.  Overshadowed by the fact it was occurring as Saban did his thing. But maintaining that was never realistic.  In reality, when Clemson was competing for nattys on a consistent basis their rosters were never comparable top to bottom with who they competed with. 

Clemson’s bad is still a dream for almost all ACC programs.  I can handle Clemson’s version of bad.  hypothetically the grass is greener….odds favor that if they move from Dabo that it will predictably be a bad decision with much worse results.  

*some great Dabo means going around Twitter right now though 

 

Maybe you can beat NCSU this year

Clemson and FSU both embarrassing themselves opening week but think they belong in the SEC. What a joke.

I mean, how many SEC teams UGA and Bama embarrassed over the years and will this year too. 

Lot of folks don’t belong in the SEC

I have no idea why people keep discussing Clemson. The run is over.

 

Dabo already searching for his next school.

I suspect when Dabo is done at Clemson he will be done with football. 

but the Dabo/Clemson talk is just silly.   Acting like his historic run is supposed to be sustainable and that being a consistent top 25 program year in and year out is somehow embarrassing is silly if you zoom out lol. 

Dabo isn’t looking for a new school.  No power 5 school is going to let him in there to try to remake what he did with Clemson.  It’s a different era.  Dabo has the keys and power to do whatever he wants in Clemson and does.   Rightfully so. 

Clemson’s dark times are still better than what So Car, No Car, etc are doing.  Like I said, anyone outside Clemson wanting Dabo fired just want bad things for Dabo and Clemson.  They are not wanting good things for Clemson football

Cam Ward is going to sneak up the draft boards if he keeps playing like that.

I'm taking Hunter over any QB in this draft.

 

I'm just not feeling this QB class.

Bama's QB gets sacked and fumbles. He recovered the ball though

WKU forced top 5 Bama to punt.

Depends.  I guess if Clemson is only the 2nd half team vs the #1 team in the nation they can’t beat State.   

But maybe State is really more that first half team that couldn’t handle Western Carolina if we just pick and choose a half 

 

[jayboogieman]

Then WKU's QB throws a pass right into a Bama defender's gut for the pick

[MillionDollarCam]

South Carolina is starting a 3* true freshman at QB… That program is dead.

True, but that could change depending on NIL and the portal. The players are going where the money is at.
