My advice. DONT. Ive tried for the last 3 years and if I even got a few small strawberries the racoons and squirrels get them before they get big or ripe.

So does 3 losses get them in?

Not sure I agree. I think we lose 1 more and at 10-2 most likely get in. At 9-3 I dont see us making it and Im ok with the logic of that. It will make people rethink playing tough OOC games in the future same as Texas last year.

I get excited most weeks. Of course Ball State and Kent State dont get you excited like maybe LA Tech or Mcneese but we make up for it other ways. Like for Example playing Texas, Iowa, USC, Oregon, Indiana and Michigan. It all balances out in the end.

re: Great comeback and win for Texas, but this is who Ryan Day is...

He might just be the most overrated coach in all America. Had it not been for the expanded playoff in 2024, he likely would be part of the FOX broadcast team right now. That roster is filled to the brim with talent and showed out in the first half. However, the man went into a shell in the second half and played not to lose. You can't do that against a Top 5 team who is playing the game at home.

You are absolutely right. Ive had problems with Ryan Day for several years because of exactly what you stated. Its cost us games numerous times and nearly cost us a few more. To be fair, I think Coach day is a good coach, just not an elite coach.

Although that was such a terrible time it was also a time where being an American and American Exceptionalism was on full display. We were united as a country then. Democrat or Republican we were AMERICANS first. How do we return to that????

BB: Don’t you want to save the paper products. Plastic grows on trees
Me: Excuse me, what
BB: yeah, plastic come trees
Me: No, I’m sorry, it doesn’t. Plastic comes from oil
BB: yeah dude, tree oil
Me: no, ground oil

Well on some level I respect Dabo for not giving in to it all.

He’s in the middle of a $115,000,000 contract. Clemson would owe him $57.000,000 if they fired him at the end of the season. Absurd money for what is essentially an extracurricular activity at an institution of higher learning.

Dabo (and other coaches) are eating at the same trough of greed and money as the players. The coaches were just there first, and any coaches who try to butt out players looking for a spot to feed won’t survive.

But Clemson’s problems are bigger than NIL and the portal. They have looked dysfunctional at times in recent years, and Dabo has made a number of coordinator and assistant changes on both sides of the ball that haven’t improved the program. Morris is the third OC in five years, and he isn’t off to a very good start.

Im in no way defending the amount of money involved with coaches. What Im saying is that he said he was against paying players on principal and taking portal kids and they did neither for awhile. By the time he got with the times Clemson had been left behind. They are not a draw in recruiting anymore and are headed for the dustbin of mediocrity. Im saying that if you want to be principled youre better off out of the sport.

Well on some level I respect Dabo for not giving in to it all. But if that’s your stance then do as Nick Saban did and get out. This is the new era of CFB and to think you can win by just doing the same thing you always did is myopic. I don’t think Dabo just became a bad coach but his refusal to change with the times has cost him.

I agree that tipping culture is out of control but a $2 tip on door dash is not only insulting its dumb. Do you really want to eat food thats been riding around in a car with someone youve pissed off with a small tip? I dont.
