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.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Tanking in the NFL isn’t really a thing and anybody wanting to bring the rigged lottery to the NFL has an ulterior motive.

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I understand where you're coming from, but we need another safety IMHO. Other positions, especially on defense, dont have ideal depth, but to me at least S is the one position we can't stand pat at even when thinking about the future

      100%. Nick Scott was awful last year. Like, even for a franchise that hasn't historically invested in that position, it stood out for how awful it was. If he sees meaningful snaps at S again we're cooked.  Maybe he has value for ST, but I certainly hope we can upgrade. Jordan Fuller, who was by all accounts an Evero guy, was almost as bad. Xavier Woods was bad, but not complete garbage. Still did not want him back. Those 3 guys seriously may have been the worst S group in the NFL. And they all were brought in, especially Fuller, as good fits for this system. Everyone knocks the defensive line, and they deserve a lot of blame, too, but so, so many times our safeties inability to tackle let 4-5 yard runs turn into 10+. And it happened over and over and over again if you watch the film. Honestly, Demani Richardson was the only S by the end of the year I remember making positive plays. I have no issue with Richardson being in the mix and/or competing to be a starter, but we still need another S desperately IMHO who has actually played meaningful snaps in the NFL. The only caveat/excuse for our secondary was the fact our pass rush was nonexistent for large stretches last year. Maybe that helps with coverage, but I dont see how that makes any of these guys better at tackling.  I know it somewhat feels like piling on at this point, but I feel 100% confident in saying this was the worst tackling team in franchise history. The 70ish yard pass play we gave up to Jamarr Chase where he ran through and past everyone in the secondary has to be up there in terms of most embarrassing plays I've ever seen. I can't imagine how embarrassed Kuechly must have been watching from the booth... I think bringing back Evero was a mistake, but for a team that has had nothing but change over the past 5 years, I'm willing to see this through. I definitely think we added significantly to the floor of this defense with the additions we made. I dont think Evero has any further excuses if he cant field a unit that can at least somewhat hold their own. Fixing the safety play is going to be a big part of that.
