Saying I was at all the wins doesn’t mean I didn’t go to some losses as well.
Not doubting your claims about attending games. Thought the phrasing was strange considering the results not the season.

I was there as well. I thought we were on the way to a really good season. If I recall correctly we lost to a hapless Memphis State team the next week and didn't win again.
my first GT game......I remember a Fraternity banner....."Prick the Pussy Cats"

I remember listening to that pitiful Memphis State game on the radio. Al Ciraldo kept calling them Mississippi State, I guess to make the loss not sound as bad...

I'm all aboard the hype train. I'll even leave island and return for this one.

It ain't gonna be easy this year. Clemson has little idea what is coming. They are gonna know they have been in a fight.
it won't be easy.
and venables will have a pretty good idea of what's coming.

Clemson's losses since 2015:
Two to Alabama.
One to Pitt. by 1.
One to Syracuse. by 3. when their qb got knocked out of the game.
their average margin of victory last year - 31 ppg

clemson is on a level only alabama can approach - right now. they have separated themselves from the other 128 teams in FBS.
georgia thinks they're at that level. they are not. and neither is anybody else. it's not just us.

For all we know, Clemson might not be able to cover our TE's, out of confusion of seeing GT with TE's. We short throw, run, and play action our way to victory
I’m pretty sure they will look at temple tape. We may pull off a decent season, but this we ain’t winning.

I'm all aboard the hype train, but we are going to be crushed in our first game. Clemson could have named the score last year and will be able to again.

I watched the Clemson spring game on TV. I was one who wrongly thought Dabo wouldn't get it done, but listening to him on the feed shows he knows exactly what he is working to do, and how his staff is aligned with him. The results show it and there is no reason to think it won't continue. With the true freshmen, it looks like they have 4 - yes 4 - first round picks at wide receiver to go with the top pick overall at qb. They ran a real game for the spring game except for protecting the qb. Even the ESPN guys were commenting how different it was. At one point Dabo made the comment about the QB read and said he should have thrown the ball to the other side against the freshman DB instead of against the All-American corner.

Full speed, and they are loaded. Hope we get there too but it won't be in August.

Dabo has the only team better than Bama. It’s amazing what he’s done at Clemson. I’d love to win but I’m not expecting it.
