If he "wins", we don't make the Sweet 16, our program is without a coach, and he gets payment in the form of a membership that he doesn't value enough to buy for himself.

If he loses, he still don't make the Sweet 16 but keep the coach he obviously doesn't like, and he has to pay for a membership he personally sees no value in for somebody else.

I am actually hoping that the bet is invalidated altogether by us making the sweet 16 (and keeping our coach). Y'all are both sort of betting that we won't win two games.

but we know that will NEVER happen under this leadership, and our history has nothing to do with it.

I don't mind losing this bet if it means we consistently can get in and win a couple.

My fear is we'll win one or two and won't do much else, ever, unless Coach Brownell reinvents himself as a basketball coach.

If we win the tourney, you don't win your bet. You don't lose, but you don't win.

Your whole bet is predicated on us not winning two games in the tournament. Why would any true Clemson fan make a bet like that? The only way for you to win (either of you, actually) is for CLEMSON to LOSE a first or second round game.

We may very well lose to Rutgers..


Mar 16, 2021, 7:14 PM [ in reply to So why would you EVER make a bet that you don't want to win? ]

Let's just say, the word around the watercooler is, if we lose to Rutgers (freakin Rutgers!), then time has (OBVIOUSLY) run out.

Wouldn't you agree? So does, "the money".

If we beat Rutgers then lose to some pissant school from some pissant conference in the 2nd round, then are things reallllly improving? Along with that, did you watch us go complete fubar in the ACC tournament?

If we lose, and especially if we get embarrassed (again), then "the money" has seen enough.

Would you or would you not agree?

If we make game then it complicates things. Obviously, based on what I know, we must win two. There is no earthly reason why we shouldn't. We are in year 11 of our leadership, and we are in the best basketball conference in the country.

Do the math.

Again, I want us to win the national championship in every sport. IS THAT NOT WHY WE PLAY THE GAMES?!

It's been 11 years, Mr. Griff. Other than Gabe DeVoe getting hot one year, we have fiddled around, oh, mediocrity.

Mediocrity socks, and it doesn't matter what sport it is or what our "history" says.

Do you agree, Mr. Griff?

It's laughable that some of you seem to think that you know better than an entire committee that has watched many different teams play basketball this season.

They have access to data that you have either ignored or don't know about.

If you truly support Clemson, you should be happy that we are a 7 seed. You should be happy that we are in the tournament. So, are you? Because you don't seem like it.

“We’re going to lose to Rutgers.”
“We are seeded too high.”
“We’re not playing well.”

Fans of a team are supposed to be excited. They are supposed to be supportive. They are supposed to give their team the benefit of the doubt.

It doesn’t make sense to see our supposed fans disparaging our team so much, especially one that’s in this tournament for the 12th time EVER.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: We are seeded right where we are supposed to be.


Mar 16, 2021, 11:21 AM

This isn't the College Football Playoff. Conference tournament championships get you an automatic bid, but they don't promise to boost your resume any more than the wins you earned to get the title. Georgia Tech's conference championship consists of wins over Miami (doesn't help...can only hurt, as we learned) and Florida State (good win). And head-to-head does not matter.

If you want to look at bad losses, you're talking about a Clemson team whose only Q3 loss came on a neutral floor in a conference tournament. Alternatively, Georgia Tech's TWO Q3 losses came on their home floor to Georgia State and Mercer.

The committee has shown they will HEAVILY penalize Q3 and Q4 losses. There are exactly zero at-large teams in the field who have a Q4 loss. If you need to see the damage a Q3 loss does to your seed, compared to where the NET system places a team, just take a look at teams like Virginia (NET 12) and Colorado (NET 15). Each dropped a full seed from a net-projected spot, presumably due to terrible Q3 losses.

Wrapping up Georgia Tech, you have to look at them having six wins against the tournament field (four at home, one neutral, one away, none out of conference) versus Clemson having seven wins against the field (five at home, two neutral, three out of conference).

LSU is the team to utilize for your best argument, in my opinion. However, I still don't think you CLEARLY see a team deserving of a higher seed than Clemson. 10 wins against Q1 and Q2 for Clemson versus eight such wins for LSU makes it look closer than LSU having four wins against the field (two at home, one neutral, one away, none out of conference) to Clemson's seven (five at home, two neutral, three out of conference). Their NET is pretty strong, but we've seen over the last few years that NET has been used that the rating doesn't matter as much as the schedule.

Bottom line...Clemson got rewarded for doing things that neither LSU and Georgia Tech did, which was beating tournament teams out of conference. Clemson did that three times. LSU and Georgia Tech COMBINED for zero such wins. It also happens that two of the teams Clemson beat out of conference ON A NEUTRAL FLOOR were a 2-seed (Alabama) and a 4-seed (Purdue). Those two wins alone are better than ANY win on Georgia Tech's schedule and better than any win other than maybe a home victory against Arkansas on LSU's schedule.
