Why do we complain about being "Disrespected"


Dec 4, 2019, 6:04 PM

When we spent the entire offseason trying to downplay all of the "rat poison" praise that was being heaped upon the team?

Seriously, every time David would post an analyst talking about how we were going to have an "all-time great offense", the majority of posters were saying to not get cocky and focus on 1 game at a time, etc etc.

Now that Ohio State and LSU have received more praise (and deservedly so even though I think Clemson is better than LSU and even with Ohio State), our fanbase is coming off as the most butthurt folks in the nation.

We've literally come to the point to where we don't like it when people talk great about us and we don't like it when people disrespect us.

If we keep this up, we're going to start marching towards other National brands (ND, Mich, Texas) in terms of hatred.

The way everyone on here is talking, we seriously better win the Natty this year or we're going to be eating some major crow.

38-3 and you lost to Virginia and UNC


Dec 4, 2019, 6:15 PM

Butt-hurt is when you come on your rivals message board and post nonsense because it's your only possible way to feel good about yourself! Sad and pathetic!

***But, I will humor you!
Trevor Lawrence is not the entire Clemson team! Trevor Lawrence started the year basically trying to live up to the hype and not play his game. He threw a bunch of interceptions and the offense didn't look as crisp early.
Football being the ultimate team game however caused up to still win and mostly dominate those games anyway. Historically, the number 1 team is number 1 until they lose. We haven't lost since the 2017 semi-final. Yet, all anyone wants to talk about is what's wrong with Clemson? Early on; it wasn't what's wrong with TL? The QB isn't the whole program; Clemson will still be dominant after Trevor Lawrence is gone. We were dominant before him. But, all anyone wanted to do early on was put us in this box of "not very good"! "They don't play nobody"! Yet, when Ohio State and Alabama is blowing away every team in their conference and making them look silly - the only team that could stay with them on the field is Clemson!

That's why everyone has the p.o.v they do with the national media. And, who cares if they start hating us. It seems they already do "pot-na"!

Bro, I'm Clemson class of 2007. The whole "anytime someone doesn't pump sunshine they must be a c00t" thing is getting old. Don't embarrass yourself.

The #1 team is not #1 until they lose. We weren't even #1 preseason in 2017.

Auburn was preseason #23 in 2011 after winning in 2011
Even Bama was preseason #2 after winning in 2012

FSU went 13-0 in 2014 after winning the title in 2013 and they barely made the CFP.

If you're asking for pollsters to give us props for crushing Bama and then losing 40% of our starters for 2019, then I hope that you are fine with other teams being overranked preseason based off their previous year.

When is the last time anyone asked "what is wrong with Clemson"? Like 2 months ago? Seriously, I want you to tell us all when was the last time a national talking head said anything negative about Clemson's team. Not the schedule. The team.

Good lord, every one has been talking about how great Clemson has looked for the last 4-6 weeks. Is that not good enough for you? Are you getting upset that our blowouts against Boston College and NCST aren't opening up the 11PM Sportscenter?

Please, stop the whining. Enjoy the fact that we're blowing out the teams we should blow out, and then we can sit back and hopefully watch 2 more wins in the CFP.

I don't believe you. No way. B/C a Clemson grad surely knows how reading comprehension works! I clearly stated at least a couple times about "early" *** slow **** eaaaarrrrr llleeeeeeee**** season critics.
BTW, Clemson unlike the teams you posted who have nothing to do with this, was pre-season #1. Go back and look at the U of Non-Compliance game and see the 1 next to Clemson( unless we had already started the slide). If you win the games - then to me - you have done your job.
Who wants sunshine pumped all the time pot-na? Who said that? When you make a point about giving a team or group of teams a pass; but go out of your way to critique another team for the very same thing: "it's biased reporting"! People just want it down the line.
I can care less what the analyst think or say. I don't watch Finebaum or much ESPN college football live even when we were #1. I think it's people like you who do who buy into everything they are saying who just regurgitate it on message boards that are the problem.
Who cares what you think! Many fans who are not Clemson fans call in and will tell the ESPN folks they seem to have a ax to grind when it comes to Clemson too! So, BAM!

One doesn't embarrass themselves with a avatar and username. That's why you are on here Mr. Gamecock! See how I didn't have anything about wanting praise for the football team?
See how it don't really matter?
You are a Gamecocks fan. And your trying to have a somewhat legit sounding platform for which to spew your negative point of view.
You could have kept that to yourself pot-na! My opinion nor yours will change the outcome of the games! And, it couldn't save you from getting beat the last 6 times!

So, just to confirm, you are complaining on December 4th, about things that were being said by the media in late September?

You said "Yet, all anyone wants to talk about is what's wrong with Clemson?". That is present tense. I learned that in English 101. Feel free to explain how the quoted statement was your feeling in September.

Everyone on here cares about what ESPN/Finebaum/Golic think. Otherwise D. Hood and company wouldn't post them and they wouldn't constitute 50+% of the posts on the football board.

Yes, you talked about TL's struggles early. Yet you said that analysts are currently talking about Clemson struggling. All I've seen is people talking about how great Clemson is playing.

Can you provide evidence of anyone talking poorly about Clemson in the last 2 months?

I went back and read my post again: Again - when did I say anything about lately? Twice I stated the word early on. Do you understand that. TL has played great and the team as a whole has been dominant. My whole point was A: TL is not the whole Clemson team. B: early season does not define who this team is now. I suggest you go back and read my post and not somebody else's b/c I wasn't mentioning what the analyst are saying now!

Cam Newton left Auburn after 2010. Do you think the Auburn team that lost the majority of their team before 2011 (that finished 8-5) should have been preseason #1 and stayed #1 until they lost? That is the same bias that we complain about with teams like ND, Texas, Michigan, USC. Preseason polls are stupid. Previous year doesn't matter, and polls shouldn't be released until Week 4 or 5.

I like that he is finally getting it off his chest. During the regular season you can't really! He is a two time winning National Championship winning coach; I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

You all can choose like I have "not to listen"! If you are tired of it - stop listening! Stop coming on a pro-Clemson message board and bringing it up. Stop logging on.

Unlike many a TNET poster I don't watch a show I think will just be a bunch of negative or "overly fake praise" of Clemson! I change it and tune back when they talk about someone else either way.

It only matters what happens on the field and no insults you all throw my way will change that! P.S. no insults you aim at Coach Swinney will work either and like me I promise he don't care what you think!

Preseason polls are stupid.. but that is where these rankings and the rhetoric start.

But to answer your original question.. who the hell is we?

If you don't don't complain then it should be.. why do y'all.

I don't think clemson gets disrespected.. but I do believe espn pushes an agenda to make the money.

Bama has a horrible sos . And they lost... but.. espn kept talking about how bama could still get in.

Clemson has a horrible sos.. but.. if they lose they are out.. no and, ifs, or buts...no questions asked. Out..out..out.

They say OSU, LSU, and clemson are the 3 best teams.

If LSU ...and osu lose they can still get in. Clemson loses, they are out.

Bama, oklahoma, Baylor, Utah ..and uga all have 1 loss but had chances to to still get in.
Clemson 1 loss is out.

The hypocrisy from these people is comical. It isn't disrespectful to clemson.. it is disrespectful to logic.

Re: Yes... why not?


Dec 4, 2019, 9:03 PM

Please provide one person on ESPN who said a #12 Bama team could still get in.

There have been multiple 1-loss conference champs to not make the CFP and yet you’re confused as to why a 1-loss non champ Clemson could be possibly left out???

Yes, LSU/OSU have done enough in the first 12 games to get in regardless due to the rest of the CFP landscape. Just like a 12-1 Clemson got in 2017 as #1 overall even with a loss to a 4 win team

Uga/Utah/OU/Baylor would all be 1-loss conference champs with wins vs multiple ranked teams. Clemson would be a 1-loss conference runner up with 0 wins over ranked teams. Surely I’m not having to explain this to you am I?

Are you that narrow sided or are you playing


Dec 5, 2019, 3:32 PM

Stupid and ignoring the entire football season? LSU beat bama on 11/9. They had 1 loss and were out of the sec champ. from that day until 11/30 there was nothing but talk about how they still had a chance to get in... even with a crappy sos, no championships, and 1 loss.

It was all about the eye test. The same eye test they are using to say clemson is one of the top 3 teams in the nation. However the eye test goes out the window if clemson loses.

Eye test can get bama in, but not clemson.
It is clear hypocrisy.

I'm not confused about anything. I don't care how many 1 loss champs have been left out and made no mention of that in my post.

My post clearly stated that ranking the NC preseason #1 is just as valid as ranking any one #1 ...and the cfp is hypocritical.

Re: Are you that narrow sided or are you playing


Dec 5, 2019, 6:35 PM

The analysts were saying that Bama going 11-1 would have a chance because they'd still have a win over a top 15 Auburn team, who is ranked higher than anyone Clemson will play all year. If Clemson loses to UVA, they will have lost to the only ranked team they played all season. Can you objectively say that Clemson should be in if they lose to UVA?

Besides, those same analysts said Bama had zero chance if UGA beats LSU, and would be unlikely pending the other title games.

Bama losing by 1 TD to LSU is a bit different than any loss Clemson would've had. Surely, you would not equate a loss to LSU to a loss to anyone on Clemson's schedule, right?

I'm sure you remember that Clemson was the #1 overall seed after losing to 4-8 Syracuse, right? I don't remember seeing anyone whining about disrespect then.

We were preseason #1. Was Auburn post-Cam?


Dec 4, 2019, 8:13 PM [ in reply to Re: 38-3 and you lost to Virginia and UNC ]

We didnt lose our starting QB, and in fact we returned pretty much the entire offense. Bad analogy on your part. And where did you get your "40%" number?

Our defense has held every opponent under 300 yards. Every one of them. The offense didnt immediately pick up where they left off against Alabama, but we have soundly defeated everyone this year, save one game. We absolutely were disrespected when we dropped completely out of the playoff teams.

I agree that there are junctures at which Clemson has gotten less respect than we deserve, but, on the whole, the "disrespect" card is overplayed by Dabo. A distinction needs to be made between problems in the overall narrative, and just this idea of "generalized" disrespect. Yes, there are folks who go out of their way to talk us down.

And he doesn’t want that idea to go on anymore bc it could affect recruiting if blue chip players start believing that they might have a chance to win a heisman another trophy that they may have a goal set to go get.

Who should TL and ETN replace in the top 3 of their awards?

Hubbard and Hurts

Gotta start eliminating garbage time stats that Hubbard has put up and Hurts was an early season all star.

You seriously think that a Gamecock fan has been a member of this board for over 13 years as a tertiary account?

I'll give you a few minutes to look up "tertiary"

This is why it's weird talking with some old guys on message boards. You decry every non-pumper post as a c00t and then talk about how you've been a fan for much longer, which I guess is supposed to mean something.

Clearly I have no idea who the other posters you mentioned are, but I'm assuming they are either real Gamecock trolls, or people you've labelled as such.

If you honestly just came to face with a Gamecock troll who had a "sleeper username" for 13 years just in case the first 2 were banned, then you should be congratulating me on my dedication if nothing else

Message boards are a young man's game Mr. Joe ... with all the typing and thinking and opinions and things it can get confusing for the older generations who have no idea about how to employ these things .

Swinney needs to just stop running his mouth; he's always whining about disrespect. He really makes a fool of himself with the media.

I disagree.

Paul Finebaum and Mike Golic are not the voice of the media. Get a grip. Let Dabo coach and lead how he chooses to do so. I'm pretty sure he's a proven commodity who doesn't need a couple blowhards on a website telling him how to address anyone. He has not made a "fool" of himself in any way, shape, or form.

cool story bro


Dec 4, 2019, 7:57 PM

I liked how you grouped EVERYONE together in this fictional bucket you came up with. And you NO DOUBT made up that bullshyatt about Clemson fans coming off as the most "butthurt" in the nation. You tried entirely too hard on your little story. If you want to have a legitimate discussion about something it's probably best if you dont use your imagination to form the wildly exaggerated storyline.

Have do posters have to specify exact percentages of offenders in every post?

Fine. 58% of posters on TNet are overly butthurt about comments when they were the same ones telling us not to buy into the hype 4 months ago.

I think you made that up.
