Spoiled fanbase....


Sep 28, 2019, 6:57 PM

A few years ago, we’d have loved a win like this, but no more. We get everyone’s best shot and lost a ton of guys off the national champ team, but it’s NEVER good enough for our fans.

We won... period... go hug someone and drink and stop your b*tching.

Difference in a few years ago? Way too much talent on


Sep 28, 2019, 7:00 PM

this team compared to those years you're referring to. This year's we just wanted a win. This team is playing for a national title.

We have a veteran OL that can’t run block!

Re: You mean YOUNG talent and we’re


Sep 28, 2019, 10:39 PM

We were getting 4 - 5 yards a carry and would then call a pass and get behind the chains. The O Line and running game never got in rhythm.

2024 white level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We averaged 4 yards per carry. Not flashy, but not the end


Sep 29, 2019, 8:15 AM [ in reply to Re: You mean YOUNG talent and we’re ]

of the world either. Dumb penalties are a much bigger issue than run blocking. Also we made zero attempt to commit to the run at any point.

that the first team wasn’t getting enough playing. So, they fixed that. Can’t please these guys.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Last week fans were complaining...


Sep 28, 2019, 10:33 PM

Honestly, that may be something the staff wants to look at. TL is still young. The offense seemed rusty and out of sync. This could be a product of not enough live reps through the first 5 games. And playing only 1 quarter last week?

Developing depth and young talent is important, but do not do it at the expense of getting the first teams fine tuned.

We have 80 freshman and sophomores. Talent, yes, but we get everyone’s best shot every time. Clearly there’s a TON to fix, I’m just saying WE WON. Talk play calling, penalties, etc., but don’t act like we should cover the spread every week or else the team and coaches are disappointments.

I’ll take 5-0 without enough style points.

Re: Difference in a few years ago? Way too much talent on


Sep 29, 2019, 2:05 AM

ONE point more than the other team will always be a win, and I will take it and being 5-0 any day but, we came one play and just a few very short yards of losing to a team that lost to Wake Forest and Miami, with their only two wins to a 2-3 coot team that has only beat Charleston Southern and a 2-3 Kentucky team that has only beat Toledo and Eastern Michigan. Yes I'll take the 1 point and be very glad that we have it in our rear view mirror. But we are still talking about the #1 team in the country that came 1 down, 1 play, and a very short few yards of losing to a very bad UNCheat team that hasn't beaten anybody that has beat anybody, but yet a lot of our fans are making excuses to why we almost lost. There is more to fix than I believe some believe that we need to fix. We can say we were in this same situation last year, but we really wasn't, we won all 15 games last year, and come close to losing with our starting QB out the game, and it was to a a very good 9-3 Syracuse who only loss to us, ND, and Pitt in OT...

If whatever our problems are that showed up today isn't fixed quick, we are looking at possibly not making it to the playoffs, and if we do, we will lose in the first round, and the excuses and blasting the fans that are very concerned about what we saw today will seem like a horrible joke come November, or December, and January won't even be a discussion other than what if!!!

Gees dude, we lost 6 defensive dudes to the NFL, won the natty, and have 80 Freshmen and Sophmores, and you think we should clobber every team we play? FYI, UNC played with heart today and Clemson did NOT. We still won! ### do you want, blow out every team? It's not realistic!

Re: Spoiled fanbase....

I know the standard has changed and all but watching this game at Carolina ale house in Greenville was almost unbearable. I can’t help but think either Clemson fans have become much more whiny or we have a huge amount of bandwagon fans. There is no way these people would have been able to make it through Clemson in the 90’s and early 2000s.

Do you honestly think Clemson is same team as 5 or 10 years ago


Sep 28, 2019, 7:14 PM

I’m pretty sure the talent gap is as big as it was today on the field. Fanbase can think/feel disappointed in a game that was a 28 point favorite. Today was very possibly 2 yards from an L. I’m not overtly excited about that ?????

Re: Do you honestly think Clemson is same team as 5 or 10 years ago

They are not robots. On the road against a well coached team with nothing to lose. Not surprised at all that it was a battle. We have one or two every year in the ACC and then we go out and demolish the best of the Big 12 or Big 10.

The talking heads like to ignore that.

You’re one of those guys at your kids games too. Lighten up Francis... go be a Bama fan, they don’t celebrate wins either unless they’re “good enough for the fanbase and coach”.

One thing to keep in mind... impatient bitching is almost what got rid of Dabo early on as well. Put the 2016 & 2018 Natty DVRs on and go pet your dog instead of kicking him.

I'm immune to being "spoiled"


Sep 28, 2019, 7:22 PM

Having been raised below the poverty level, and being pretty well off now, I would still be okay if I lost everything. Not happy, but I could cope with it because I've been there. Until I got married and had kids of my own, I was not aware that kids are supposed to have birthday parties. I always found it odd when office co-workers wanted to recognize my birthday. I had no idea why someone would do that.

The same applies to football. I was there when CLEMSON did well to avoid being the WORST team in the ACC, and watching Bama beat the ever-loving crap out of us. I'm enjoying the awesome run we're on right now, but if we lose a lot, I could cope with it. I would not like it, but I would not act "spoiled".

Not long ago and , The Tigers lost many close games. Talented they are , but they are babies 80 fresh, soph. They will not blow every one out. Teams are gunning for them . Being number 1 puts a mark on you. I can't remember the last time the Tigers lost. I'm happy about that. Since 77' . I have seen some losses , Heartbreakers. Some beatdowns. So for you bandwagon fans stop the complaining. Be All In. Be thankful for the win . That game will help our babies grow and catch up with their talent. 5-0 , Go Tigers. I'm enjoying the ride!!
