Re: Of all the teams I want to destroy this year

I never really had anything against NC St… until they hired Dave Doeren.

He is right at the top of the list for me personally of coaches/people that I absolutely loathe.

He is the modern day Tommy Bowden. He never has/will win the big one he needs to but he acts as if he’s a multiple time title winning coach.

Everytime we beat them he cries and whines like a little girl pitching a fit bc she didn’t get her way. That snapshot of him smoking the cigar after they beat us I will never let go of.

You would have thought they won the national championship but as usual… NC St will get their 8/9 wins and lose any/every game that is meaningful and then get their @ss kicked in the bowl game like they always do.

Beating the cluckers will always be at the top but the puppies are right under them for me personally as far as getting a ton of satisfaction from beating a specific opponent.

Teams we owe this year... in order

Jul 25, 2024, 11:45 PM

1. UGA. They have won 7 of the last 8. They are at the top, while we have declined. It would be a paradigm shifting shock to the college football world... and a long overdue win in the head to head series that we managed to run even with them from the late 70's to the early 90's. We have had bad luck and not played them in some of our best years... but we absolutely owe them the most. 90 miles away, and they barely think us as anywhere near equals. And if we keep losing to them, we deserve that.

2. FSU. We all feel like they anointed FSU top dog of the ACC a little too quickly. Yeah we dropped off, but they BARELY beat us during their best season and our worst. Is FSU really the new top dog of the ACC? Beating them at their place would right the ship and re-establish the alpha in the conference.

3. NC State. One of the biggest sources of frustration among Clemson fans are these games that we look like absolute garbage, and play WAY below our standard, and some mid-major squeezes out a victory and acts like its the super bowl. And we roll our eyes and know that we handed them something they didn't deserve. We were crap and they beat crap. Woohoo for NC State. They beat us 2 of the last 3 years. They think they are our peers. Their program is wholly beneath our's and we absolutely must prove it on the field.

4. SCAR. I know we beat them last year, but it was embarrassingly close. And they kept us out of the playoffs the year before. And I still remember 5 straight. We must put up another 5 streak to further purge the memory of when we let the barbarians through the gates and run amok for FIVE YEARS.

5. Pitt. The big loss to Pitt in 2021 signaled us officially falling down to the sub-elite level. It knocked us out of the ACC championship game. It's when we all saw that the miracle run had come to a close. Yes we had already lost a close game to the eventual National Champ UGA and lost a close double overtime collapse against NC State.... but getting double digit beat by Pitt was a new low for a post championship Clemson program. And we never shook it off. Killing Pitt would be a statement that we have turned a corner since then.
