After the game I was emotional and overreacting, a lot.

I blame our coaching staff for this loss.
But primarily I blame the ACC. I believe that as long as the conference sucks, this will be the result. We can have all the top athletes in college football, but our conference does not prepare us to play top OOC teams.
I despise the ACC, and playing in this crappy conference does us absolutely no favors.

I disagree with you! However I do wish we had a tougher conf. to play in but, the Acc has nothing to do with Clemson not being prepared! If our coaching staff done their work correctly and prepared the players we, should be able to beat anyone we step on the field with. I blame Dabo, Chad, and Brent and all else down the line. They seen the film. They knew what they was up against. They did not have a game plan in place that worked. How can you blame the Acc for that?
Now I would like to see us in another conf. or at least the Acc bring in more "football" schools.

because week in and week out Clemson plays Duke, Wake, BC, Maryland, etc. Those games do nothing to prepare us for tough physical games like USuCk was on Saturday.
Yes, I was disappointed in our game plans, especially our offensive game plan, which I still don't know what the plan was. But the team proved it's tough to flip the switch from playing in the cupcake ACC to a physical SEC opponent. As did GT, and FSU.

ACC. I get sick of hearing it. We have domintated the Coots for many a years. The SEC has always had a more physical brand of football and yet we still dominated our little feathered friends.
Spurrier owns Dabo plain and simple. USuc did not dominate us on Saturday night. We outrushed them for the entire game in basically one quarter. Our guys got tight and it showed up after we didn't put the game away in 2nd qtr. don't feel bad, Spurrier has owned many a good coaches that should have beaten him. Poor Peyton Manning could never beat Spurrier. mark richt was probably happier than anyone in the SEC to see the ole man leave Florida and Spurrier is back kicking his ### again with less talent.
it happens.

While I understand what you are saying, I have to think about a team like Boise State. For years people have complained that they have an ADVANTAGE by only having to play a few strong teams each year. They just had to "get up" for those few games each year, and they always seemed to do well against tough competition (Alabama, Oklahoma, etc...)

Wow. Why stop at the ACC? This is clearly society's fault.

I'm fine with the fact that a lot of people hate the ACC on this website. I share many of the frustrations. I'm fine with people thinking we should leave. I disagree, but I see the logic. But let's chill-out about blaming the ACC for every ill that falls Clemson's way. It's as misguided as the South Carolina fans who used to blame the SEC's "tough schedule" for beating them up before they play us.
I'm not sure what happened out there on Saturday but if there is "blame" to be assigned, rest assured that it can be placed somewhere within the Upstate of South Carolina.

I think he is saying both are contributing factors!!

Push around weak ACC opponents and starters only play a half then Play an OOC team and the opposite happens!
I can see where both are factors in this case

ACC is what it is. One thing Clemson can do to prepare us for the big games is SCHEDULE MORE QUALITY OPPONENTS! Enough with the Furman's, PC's, Coastal Carolina's, & Wofford's! Ever hear of "dumbing down America"? These kind of games are "dumbing down Clemson"!

Someone of you people are sounding like USuC! If the Acc is the reason we lost then USuC being in the SEC is the reason they are better! They hang onto the SEC like a fle on a dog. Just because they are part of the SEC and we are ACC doesnt change anything! We lost to a BETTER team plan and simple. We missed chances that we shouldnt of! The team was not ready to play. Was not prepared to play nor was they strong enough to play. Clemson has issues for sure. Being part of the ACC is not one of them. Look at TCU and Bosie State. They won regardless of who they played..(not recent I know). It all comes down on the coaches and players! If they do not EARN their checks, then we will see Clemson drop games like we just did! QUIT being... well stupid... Dont make excuses! We LOST.. I HATE IT! I now have to have a gamecock tag on my car for a YEAR becasue of it! lol... It suck.. Please we have to loose with the same class we when with! Clemson just has to fix the issues, and I dont think that it has NOTHING to do with the ACC...
Just my few cents worth!
