Levitate and gain perspective

This was one of the hardest losses we have had to take at Clemson. In order to gain some perspective I think viewing the situation from above will help us all retain a proper perspective.
First we are a good team, a very good team. Tell me another team that could have gone into BC with 2 of the 3 star defensive players out and still compete. Did any one think that we were not going to miss Waters and Billie? BC hit us right where they weren't. They knew our weak spot. The fact that we should have won the game should be viewed as huge positive. Yeah the ref missed a call (or two, or three) but we did not execute when we had to. The loss of Waters and Billie left no room and I mean no room for error.
Secondly we are going to be good for a long time. I was a Bowden doubter in the beginning too. He has proved me wrong. He has done it the right way. He has recruited good kids and good kids beget good kids. Spiller is special, Davis is special, Taylor is special and I think Butler is special after is performance Saturday. I know Korn is special.
So calm down. We lost. We shouldn't have lost but we did. It happens. Take it like you hope the team takes it and stay positive. There are a lot of good, good things that can happen at Clemson this year and our part as fans is to be positive and supportive. No one hurts more right now than the players and the coaches. Don't make matters worst by being little baby whiners. Get behind the Tigs. They might just need it about now, so do your part!
Orange forever!

Good post, but this kind of loss always happens to us

it just sucks and we're all getting tired of it.
We should be very concerned about the game in Tally this weekend. Special teams and defense have to make HUGE adjustments in practice this week. Otherwise, we're staring 1-2 (0-2) in the face...and this team has too much #### talent to be 1-2.

what happened to our OT game? We were 6-0 at one point, now we've lost 3 in a row.

Ha, haven't won one since.

before the season started. You can't write BC off. They're similar to WF for us in that regard, but nationally, BC gets more respect than WF ever will. That helps, at least in my mind.
If BC was on the same level as Duke or Wake Forest, than I would count this as a "im tired of this happening" game. I'm saving that for UNC/Wake/NC State.
We've beaten FSU after losing to Duke, I know we can beat them again.
