I'm 35 I don't remember Clemson being elite besides the Dabo era. Maybe back in your day Clemson was royalty.

you implied you were in your late teens when Clemson was on top of the college football world?  That was 5 years ago.  So your math clearly had me assuming your were young  

You moving the goalpost.  I didn’t call them royalty.  But certainly a national program like the SEC schools. Clemson is top 20 all time in wins.  And if you erase Dabo and Kirby’s nattys….Clemson has a more recent natty than UGA.

Clemson plays in the weak ACC. Sure they were a big deal when they were winning the Natty. The thing is those other programs don't have to win a Natty to stay relevant.

 

I don't consider Clemson to be that iconic football powerhouse with rich tradition. When I think ACC I usually go to the Miami and Florida St. 

 

We just disagree on which schools have rich tradition. Maybe the older people view Clemson differently I can only speak for me.

 

I have seen numerous docs on the Miami and Florida St schools. Their tradition is far beyond a region. It's national.

Such a shame Texas/Georgia isn't in the 8pm slot. I feel like that should be the last game of the night. Instead they have the ACC game in that slot.

 

 

At the same time as the B1G game as well. I’d imagine ratings for Clemson/SMU will be far below Oregon/Penn St. 

 

ACC game should be entering the 4th quarter right now (225 pm EST).

Clemson has 21 ACC titles.  Which is the most in the ACC.   FSU 2nd.  FSU were the kings of the ACC under Bowden.   

Miami has 0 ACC titles.  Gamecocks got more ACC titles. 

No one thinks Miami when they think ACC.  Miami was the team of the Big East 

And no one gives a poo about Miami anymore.   They have had 2 seasons in recent history that were fools gold.  You know cares about Miami? Old people.  That remember a time long ago.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
