One loss equals entitlement? Wow I learned something new as well as that we weren't physical at any point between now and 2015. I bet u Wouldn't tell that to Reuben foster, Jon Allen, or Ryan Anderson .

No, but combined with almost losing to Mississippi State it does. Going back five years, how does Clemson's recruiting stack up against Alabama's? They've been solid but not up to Bama's level; so, you tell me - is complacency or coaching to fault for them winning it all last year and being in the hunt this year and Bama likely on the outside looking in?

And, let's not pretend like Alabama played a juggernaut of a schedule this year... Bama should have gone through the schedule undefeated based on the oddsmakers' opinions.

And Clemson has lost to Syracuse , Pittsburgh , and other mediocre teams over the years. Dude what we ve done with our talent level is even more impressive in the that time period. We re a target every week and carry more pressure every week than any program in the country. Our guys carry themselves with class and high standards so Gtfo with whatever agenda you're pushing

If one were to describe the houses in your neighborhood would they say "some are gray, some are blue, some are beige?" Or, if you described the cars in your office parking lot at work would you say "some are red, some are blue, some are black?" Sometimes, the word "some" is appropriate. I guess Montevallo does a poor job of teaching the English language to its students.

My point is we have a team of guys that play hurt for each other and we NEVER get embarrassed on national TV by teams of lesser talent. We beat teams we re supposed to beat, that isn't complacency or entitlement that's focus. We are more consistent week to week than any team in the country...That isn't debatable

Maybe you can make this argument about this year, but 2016 you're just flat out wrong. The 2016 team mauled people.

Because that team lost one game on the last second, you're gonna say they lacked physicality? That's a joke and a discredit to players like Jonathan Allen, Reuben, and Ryan Anderson who all played their tails off.

OK. Which players specifically are the ones that don't care about the team? Stop hiding behind the word "some."

In this instance it is not. Some players indicates you know who they are. Say them, you coward.

A weasel word, or anonymous authority, is an informal term for words and phrases aimed at creating an impression that a specific or meaningful statement has been made, when instead only a vague or ambiguous claim has actually been communicated. This can enable the speaker to later deny the specific meaning if the statement is challenged. Where this is the intention, use of weasel words is a form of tergiversation.

The guy made a ridicous post that I am sure he regrets. Let's let him learn a lesson and not bloody him up too bad.

Ok...but he did insult the school where my Dad coached and I matriculated. Those are fighting words!

But, Ok.
