then lose by 3 because we can't make free throws and questionable coaching. Or:

we start fast - double digit lead in the 1st half, then lose by 14.

You can TD me, but you know you feel this way.

I hope we win, but have been disappointed too many times in the last 40 years.

Um, we shoot hit right at 80% from the line as a team. Doesn’t get much better than that.

Which is amazing, because I can't tell you the last time a Clemson team was good at the line.

Plenty of Brads teams have shot free throws well.

His predecessors’ teams were mostly horrible.

You really mean the game flow is one of three ways

The two you listed plus:

we start fast - double digit lead in the 1st half, lose the lead with about 10 min left in game, back and forth until 5 mins to go, then we extend and win by double digits or close to it as time expires.

That seemed to be the pattern when we put together our little hit streak near end of season.

Yeah, that's been the way it is ever since I started watching many decades ago....

This is pretty close… we typically start losing the lead when PJ Hall goes out.

I wouldn't care if we'd lost 10 in a row. I would still support my team and want them to win. Maybe CU basketball is not a good fit for you.

I support them to win. I am also realistic and making judgment based on past performance. You haven't been around long enough to know. I do commend you for staying on the bandwagon so far.

I guess I'm a new fan compared to peeps that went to the games when Banks was the coach. Arrived on campus in '79 and have never wanted the Tigers to lose at anything. Never liked Foster because he dogged one of the players I knew terribly. I still went to every home game and cheered like a fanatic. I've never stopped. It irritates me when we do dumb things and lose like Cade and his deviation from the called play keeper against Miami. Be aggravated and mad for a little while and then catalog it and move on. Some of you pull the cards out of the filing cabinet and read them everyday. Let it go. Dwell on the positives.
Whoever the coach is matters very little to me. I have no control over it and I'm 100% sure Neff wants them to succeed way more than I do. Sometimes it goes in and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you shut the other guy down and sometimes you don't. During timeouts and halftime, you work on fixing it. Sometimes you do and sometimes you don't. The other team is adjusting too.

I support the players and coaches win or lose and I'm a bandwagon fan?

band-wag-uhn
1. a party, cause, movement, etc., that by its mass appeal or strength readily attracts many followers:

After it became apparent that the team would win, everyone decided to jump on the bandwagon.
