Saturday's Clemson-Florida State game was postponed three hours before kickoff.
Obviously, social media was abuzz as fans, media, players, and others were disappointed that they didn't get to see the ACC matchup between two traditional powerhouses. Check out the reaction on Twitter: Man, we were ready to play. From our AD
This is really crazy Foo..........??????
We are disappointed that we will not be able to play today’s game against Florida State. Clemson has followed all of the ACC's protocol in preparation for this game. We look ahead to returning to action next week against Pitt for Senior Day and Military Appreciation Day. https://t.co/5VJK44iOjL Clemson’s game today vs. Florida State has been postponed. Trevor Lawrence’s return to action waits another week.
#Clemson even brought @theEVENTguys to #Tallahassee for a 7,200 sqft physically-distanced meeting space. I feel bad for the Clemson staff and players who followed all COVID protocol to come all the way out to FSU and to have them pull out last minute. It should be a forfeit, not postponement. https://t.co/26ucBDYn8m
I've been told the cost for a road trip... aircraft and buses and hotel and meals for over 100 people, is between $300,000 and $350,000. No wonder Clemson offered to stay Extremely odd statement here without much clarity ... https://t.co/HoSyLMBRmG

Wow..
Clemson plays Pittsburgh next week and Virginia Tech on Dec. 5. Both of the Tigers' open weeks have already passed. ACC Championship is set for Dec. 19, but both teams have nothing on Dec. 12.
Lol what else you got for me 2020 ?? https://t.co/VOcqtdNjMv
The Noles have faced injuries and opt outs, but I didn't think they faced a numbers issue.
This game was scheduled to kick off in three hours and Clemson was already in Tallahassee. Super weird.
Today’s Clemson at Florida State game postponed. That’s 18th cancellation or postponement this week
The Clemson vs. FSU game will be postponed. Both teams' medical personnel were unable to mutually agree on moving forward with the scheduled game. pic.twitter.com/4yfBgJrQQD
85 PPD/canceled games so far (18 this week) involving 87 FBS teams. Teams impacted by league
A little more background info here ... Clemson DID travel to Tallahassee to play the game. Remember both teams have to get tested on Friday, administered by a third party. Before ANY game, both teams also have to sign off they feel it is safe to play. https://t.co/P1w2bJy7SA
I smell fear
Another week to get healthy I suppose. I feel bad for whoever Clemson’s next opponent is. No clue who that’ll be with how this season has unfolded.
In talking to a trusted source, Clemson met the criteria to play. Clemson met with the ACC, and the conference was on board with the game being played. FSU backed out.
Florida State will never live this down with Clemson fans. Never ever. That’s just the truth.
The sentiment at Clemson is that the Tigers followed all the protocol, met the medical criteria and were ready to play this game. Asked a source about Dec. 12: "We're here," - as in, Clemson was ready today.

SOURCES: A Clemson back-up offensive lineman tested positive for COVID-19 from a test taken Friday. They received the results after Clemson landed in Tallahassee. The player traveled with the team. FSU officials weren’t comfortable playing because of potential spread. ????????? https://t.co/hKaQiHRIzm Florida state better pay the gas to fly back pic.twitter.com/EQHLIiCvvJ
In the spirit of compromise why don’t we just put down Clemson 35 FSU 13 in the record books for today. Clemson still gets a multi TD blowout and FSU gets 2 digits on the board. We all good here? Moving on
Clemson didn’t want that smoke
Clemson was informed about 8 a.m. as players were at team hotel coming down for breakfast that Florida State was not comfortable playing game because of COVID concerns w/Clemson, sources told @Stadium. Clemson had 1 player test positive Friday, source said
Some of you will get this: If Clemson and FSU played 10 times, FSU would back out five times.
I'm expecting we'll see FSU and Clemson in Doak on Dec. 12.
FSU just announced to board of trustees yesterday it was dealing with massive budget shortfalls. If anyone thinks the school wants to refund ticket sales from today's game just to avoid another bad L in a season filled with them, you're crazy.
FSU coach Mike Norvell on College GameDay: “We woke up today ready to play this game. ... We’re all about building the trust and the understanding to keep our players safe.”
Clemson buses just pulled out of the team hotel in Tallahassee. Headed to the airport and back to Clemson pic.twitter.com/fgzIwBblsz Looking at this logically, seems ACC needs to change testing of road team from Friday a.m. to after practice Thurs. Had Clemson known results of Fri. a.m. tests before they got on plane Friday the player in question would not have travelled and the two teams would play today.
"We woke up this morning ready to play this game."
So @ClemsonFB offered to play Sunday or Monday and we @FSUFootball declined. Y’all knew we was about get 80 put on us with that Defense and that offense that’s keep stalling out like a stick shift. Y’all that talking the players are doing online would love to see it. I would’ve Control what you can...pray about what you cannot...& win or lose #love on the #team waiting on you at home. pic.twitter.com/Wkdzyu1YYz
Florida State, whether you lose today or a few days from now won’t matter. Get it over with already. Stop stalling. #GoTigers @ClemsonFB
Narrative is Narrative. Truth is Truth.....God’s Plan ??????
Aka it was not Clemson’s fault that this happened....so there’s only one other option to why it did, and the suspects could possibly be seen wearing maroon & gold and reside in Tallahassee, FL https://t.co/9oCE7mwdAD
All chairs were placed 6' apart.
Pathetic, FSU & ACC. pic.twitter.com/DkGpVIjNqM

Say you got all dressed up and excited for a ?????????????? out of state, and you are at the venue and hours before they cancel the show
You thinking about when they will reschedule it so you can come all the way back or you want your refund?
