Listen there is actually no one on the planet I dislike more then Dabo Sweeney- he's the biggest self promoter in college football, he's in love with himself, he chews out punters like a coward then throws them under the buss in post game conferences, he has the absolute lamest post game speeches and sayings, I still don't think he's a good coach and think Clemson being really good these past few years has been a product of really good assistant coaches, a very weak ACC conference with bad coaching, and good recruiting. They had to have everything fall perfectly for them this year to get where they are now but they made it to the playoffs plain and simple. Again Everytime I see Dabo on the television I squirm - I genuinely hate Dabo Sweeney and everything he stands for- but Clemson is one of the four best teams in the country and beat who was on their schedule.
It is suspicious that they have been rolling in the recruits they've been getting lately especially considering the fact there hasn't been anything of significance they've accomplished these past few years and Clemson is a terrible school in the middle of nowhere. It's a fantastic school academically but probably my least favorite campus in the country- it is tough to see and rationalize the appeal they have with all of these five star 18 year old out of state recruits they keep Rollin in.
However, With all of that being said- I think it's a bad look for our fans to constantly start threads on the possibility of them cheating, talking about how they get all of the calls, they get all the bounces and luck,etc. While this may very well all be true, it's kind of petty for our fanbase to be constantly obsessing over them, especially right now when they're just two victories away from a Chip and we just came off of a 3 win season. We're the school that had a coaching staff take two years off and we're paying the price for it now, give Clemsons coaching staff credit for Rolling up their sleeves and recruiting like all hell (even if it's illegally). Last time I checked it wasn't that long ago we were getting the Clowneys and Lattimores, and Gilmores, and Alshons etc and we can do it again. So as a fanbase let's start focusing more on our program and the positive direction it's going then obsessing over our rival that's kicking our ass on and off the field lately (this won't last). When we we're winning 11 games a year it was fun to stick our thumb out, well really our whole hand at Clemson, now it just looks like we're the jealous little brother and I'm getting tired of reading about THEM just as much as US on here. I'm tired of the loser-like mentality our fan base has right now. With all of the positive momentum Muschamp has going on with the good staff he has put together, and his no nonsense approach to recruiting, it's time our fanbase starts changing the tide from its little brother loser-like mentality to positive optimists who know they belong with the big boys and will be there shortly .
Go Cocks.
