Plays for the love of the game & some money. Wins & losses not that important. That’s all you need to know about the state of Clemson football.

He said “We’re not playing for a record” and “guys are playing to provide for their families and if we don’t then who will”. Something along the lines of that. Really telling.

If they are playing for their families, they either need to step it up on the

Yeah I’d like to see a link to his comments.

Doesn’t sound that great without any context.

Barnes clarified that despite the rough start, the team's motivation goes beyond wins and losses. For him and his teammates, the record doesn't define their purpose; it's about why and who they play for.
"Obviously, it's frustrating and it sucks because you got guys like Antonio, Cade, and DeMonte who could've gone to the [NFL Draft] but came back and wanted to make the most of it. And we messed it up ourselves," he said. "But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter if we lost 12 in a row; we're not playing for a record. I'm personally playing for my parents not to feel like they have to put a hood on and cover their backs up when they walk out of the stands."

Then use your context seeking abilities and find the video on YouTube from 4 days ago. It’s there. They care more about money (can’t blame them honestly) than winning. There’s no context needed after saying that.

Your blown out by Cuse. Duke 38 Syracuse 3 today. Clemson is now a bottom feeder in the god awful ACC. This is a low effort and poorly coached team. Slice it anyhow you wish. They are the most overpaid coaching staff in the country. So we have that.

Not really. He said he plays for his family and to provide for his family (aka make money). It is what it is.

Ok ladies, really appreciate your interpretation of Barnes’ comments.

Undersized and lacks cover quickness. I guess he’s out there because CDS likes him and therefore is loyal to him. Other than Terrell, we have nothing outstanding in the secondary. Hamptom & Hanafon have play ok. I just noticed Tyler Venables is still on the team. Why isn’t he playing?

Venables is not D1 talent.***
