Come on...Do You Really Feel CLEMSON will go to NC Game?!
Sep 26, 2013, 10:04 PM

Saying...it's a long road to get there, with a lot of luck needed to go along with a lot of talent, depth, a favorable schedule, few injuries, smart coaches, focused players..you name it.
What say you?!
Go#3TiGERs!

it may be too soon, but things just feel different around here & in a good way. i had a feeling about this season before the year started & i not only think we(the team) can do it, but WILL do it!
things will certainly have to go our way.
we'll have to be both patient smart.
we'll have to be opportunistic.
we're well coached & pretty well stacked with some weaker points of course that just have to keep their composure & depend on team.
We SHOULD do it & have all that's necessary: coaches & staff, talent, leaders, etc...
my gut says we WILL!
I've been wrong before,
an optimistic Tiger

it makes you wonder if things would be any different, but even he had some rough games.
CAN'T BLAME THAT, or Nuk...he's doing great & we're all proud & happy for him!
We're still coming on & will continue to get better, not peaking to soon...I think Dabo's 100 pro.

watching a breakdown of our WR's blocking effort I'd say we have a 0% chance. I hope it improves or we will lose at least 2 more games - guaranteed.

just 'cause I FEEL like we'll go all the way, doesn't mean we don't have a long way to go & need to keep growing & improving!
we need to tighten up quite a few bolts, but the machine's running fine...

If we lose a game, it'll because the other team handles the blitz and torches our secondary.
If you give our offense enough chances, they'll put up yards/pts. See LSU game.

I haven't seen them as world beaters this year either.

It's early to be making a claim either way.
I'll say this through a thick veil of optimism, USuCk lost a ton of players on defense in their secondary. We did too but we've got a couple of maturing players who have a great deal of experience on the field now.
Our linemen can play with anybody and our skill players are better than anything USuCk will face this year.
If you consider all that a wash consider this. For many years USuCk has had the advantage of having two weeks to prepare for the Clemson game. This year we play a Thursday night game and have 16 days to prepare for them. We've also suffered the fate of spending years without a good defensive coordinator. We look forward to this game with that certain amount of advantage over previous years.

If we don't win in Columbia this year, I'll have a reasonably priced house on the market there. I can't live another year like this.

Win decisively against Syracuse, stayed focused and defeat Florida State at home, then finish the Terps for the final time (collecting the ACC Exit Fee while there!), and Tajh fulfilling his destiny in Chicken Town, and you may be looking the NC game square in the face.
So, if all of that happens, be careful what you wish for...and Oregon/CLEM NC game. It will be like watching a game on 4x fast forward...Both teams will run 110 plays each.

But it isn't next year...its the same old bcs junk and I hate to be the bearer of bad news but no one is gonna beat Oregon or Alabama guys. If Stanford were to do the same thing they did last year and beat Oregon then there is the possiblilty they would jump us. The absolute only way we get there is to get some help and plus we have to win the rest of our games and that's a tall order. It could happen of course but I hope none of you are betting the farm on it. If this was 2014 I would say we would have a very very good shot at it...but alas it isn't.

We get to about half way through the season, and teams are looking good. Then some how they always manage to drop one. Alabama is very beatable. Oregon always struggles against Top 25 teams, especially Stanford. Our road is just as tough. Realistically only one team will be undeafted coming out of the regular season.

Sep 27, 2013, 6:57 AM

Is there some solace in saying, "Well, I knew it was coming!" after a loss? Is there some balm in believing your team is going to fail?
The road is equally long for all out there, but someone is going to reach the end atop everyone else. Until proven otherwise, what is gained by believing it wouldn't be the Sons of Clemson?

In years past, I was certainly more worried about the basic games against GT, VT, even Wake Forest and Duke. This year, as shown against NC State, Clemson is good enough to make lots of mistakes, play flat and still come out on top against the remaining teams with the exception of FSU and SC.
Still there are lots of things that must happen to make it through the season undefeated. Also, let's face it.. without a loss by Bama and Oregon, there is no NC game for Clemson this year. It's theirs unless they lose.
Kepp winning Tigers! That's all we can do.

worrying about everyone else but Clemson.
so & so needs to do this, they need to win there, lose here...
the point is, Dabo & Tajh keep repeating it, if we take care of OUR business, then it'll work out.
we could always use help from other teams screwing up, but we have to take care of what we can.
if it's meant to be, it will happen with the right effort from Clemson.
EVERYONE IS BEATABLE, why speculate? be positive & think positively...pawsatively, Clemson goes all the way!
Go Tigers!

Until we can beat USUC- CLEMSON and NCG should not even be discussed in the same sentence.
Also, Maryland, FSU, and even Miami are going to be a handful to get thru. I don't see anyone other than Miami winning the Coastal.
