If Clemson wins Natty and is standing at 30-0


Nov 18, 2019, 9:01 AM

For 2018-19, do we finally get respect? We will most likely have rolled through our conference schedule, Texas A&M twice, SC twice, Alabama, Notre Dame, LSU, and Ohio St.

Thoughts?

Oh yeah! Then look out 2020 when we add some absolute monsters to the defensive side of the ball and continue adding talent on top of talent.

They'll continue with the same narrative and figure out a new one if the conference is stronger next year.

The ACC will suck next year again. The SEC will be better than the ACC next year again. We need to win out next year too. They will say we have an easier path to the playoff than SEC schools. It will be accurate.

You're obsession with the SEC is weird. I bet 80 percent of your posts are defending or bringing it up. That or complaining about tigernet. You're like the guy that goes to a bar every day and then complains to to bartender about how bad the bar and the bartenders suck.

To be fair, majority of posts on TigerNet football board seem to be about:

SEC over rated (because media pushes SEC)
ESPN against us (because SEC)
Finebaum not nice (because SEC)

I'll agree with Carlsbad that Clemson Tiger Varsity Football will most likely not get the 'respect' fans crave even with another Championship this year for the reasons he cites.

Nov 22, 2019, 7:41 AM

^^^^THIS - actually ANY team outside of the SEC (and possibly the Big10) must go undefeated to be considered for the CFP. There are at least 3-4 teams (Bama, LSU, UGA, UF) in the SEC that could have 2 losses and still be considered for the CFP. All of those SEC teams are artificially propped up by preseason rankings that are undeserved having done absolutely NOTHING to earn those high rankings other than being in the lovechild that is the SEC.

I have no obsession with the SEC. I just know sports. What I dont get it people's obsession trying to minimize the SEC. Who cares about the SEC? They are better as a whole. Who cares? We are are the best program in the nation. Why are so many of our fans so insecure.

You are correct. We have respect from other teams just not some of the media. I am wondering if we now get more respect from the media because of the Alabama QB situation. Will we get bandwagon fans now?

Re: Nobody is saying, "I hope we get Clemson first in the


Nov 18, 2019, 3:23 PM

You have to remember that sports commentators are not rewarded for being accurate. They are rewarded for attracting viewers/readers. So it is in their interest to stir up football fans from week to week.

The UNC game was bound to result in dozens of articles questioning our rightful place in the landscape.

The 1st CFP rankings are always going to draw tons of speculative articles about all of the possible controversial outcomes. In the end, the games are played on the field and the final four are never as controversial as all of the articles. We just have to be patient and let our team speak for themselves.

I am looking forward to 1. winning the Natty on the field
2. starting 2020 30 - 0
3. adding the #1 recruiting class in the nation to that championship team

While that is true, it proves nothing about anyone showing CLEMSON the respect that has been earned.

Those same people are also not saying "CLEMSON would kick our butts, so they should be ranked ahead of us" either.

LSUs defense is garbage. Oh St and Clemson both blow them out. #4 will be a sacrificial lamb for LSU to make sure that an SEC team makes it to the final.

Just smile and point out how we destroyed ND and Bama and the game was not as close as the score suggested.

What is said publicly does not reflect the amount of respect we have across the country.

There are no teams taking us lightly and thinking that we are what some in the media say we are.

A narrative is just that. It's a story that some like to tell.

You would think so, wouldn't you? Butt, they seem to apply


Nov 18, 2019, 9:49 AM

a different set of parameters to us vs others. Next year it will be:

They lost most of the offensive line, defensive secondary, AND Tee Higgins, AND Travis Etienne. No way they will retool from that and still be relevant on the national stage.

That's probably almost verbatim from Flying Ears first broadcast of the new season. He will be over being "Gobsmacked" again by then.

I will be happy to hear that we have a "soft schedule" in 2020. We have some monsters coming in for the D-line, as well as the other recruits, but we lose a lot this year. Four out of 5 starters on the O-line, I think it is 3 out of 4 safeties by playing time, probably Etienne and Higgins and Simmons, and possibly a few more leaving early and transferring. We will have some great people to replace them but a "soft schedule" will give us some time to get everybody up to speed.

Ian Book is ND's 'best' QB and is a SR, so they will have a new QB next year. ND can circle our game as a "L" right now.

I hope everyone realizes how hard it is very difficult to always be undefeated, no matter the competition. Sometimes the football gods don't cooperate and the ball bounces the wrong way. It takes an extremely talented team to win um all year after year in any league.
