Reading that board is hilarious! They are ready to fire everybody up to and including the ground crew. Supposedly Sir Big Spur took a dump on the paw at mid field and Coach and several players ran down the hill and planted a flag. If that happened I hope somebody got video...
 
Tough loss for Clemson. I’d be melting down too if Carolina lost. I was in meltdown mode up until the last two minutes. And still disappointed that we didn’t win by at least two touchdowns.
I don’t know if Clemson played their best game of the season or we played our worst.

I think it was more on us. Those deep throws they completed were pure luck…

People forget how much talent Clemson still has on their roster. That was the second most talented team we played all year. Only team with more talent was Bama.

Those first two deep throws were both PI's the first on us and the push off on the sideline by them, that was their offense was all circus catches, pretty amazing, but it happens! I was really surprised there were very few penalties, I think one for 5 yards on us for the first half!
 

Told my Gamecock friend , they should fire their OC​

They could save that money, as all their points come off busted plays. Their OC called few plays that actually worked as planned.

He told me that Clemson should learn how to tackle.
 
Feel the same way about last year. They sucked enough for us to win, but we didn't do anything to take it. I left there so mad last year because it was there for the taking and we stunk it up.

We played several teams that were just as talented as Clemson and more so. Alabama, TAM, LSU (coaching is their issue, not talent), and Ole Miss. Clemson s downfall will be the portal. If they keep losing players to it and not getting players from it and then depend on kids out of high school to match up, their fall won't take long.

Their fall is in full swing already.

Clemson's primary issue has been Dabo's reluctance to embrace the NIL and pay for players.

There's been many articles written about this and I've posted a few of them here as well.

I'm not sure how much longer he'll be able to hang onto that mentality and continue to cash $10mil checks.

However, if they win on Saturday and get in the playoffs, he might be able to kick the can down the road another year.

With regard to the portal, there's no real science.

Any team can obviously start utilizing it at any moment in time, and probably will.

Computer models (esp. AI) can quickly evaluate talent and also determine if a player might be a good fit for a need.

The rest is instinct, eye test, etc.

Having a quality staff for talent evaluation and fit is essential.
 
Didn't know that about the NIL up there. Wow. In this day, not using the portal and not supporting nil is a double whammy. Dabos seat might get hot quick despite the big trophies if that doesn't change.

The way I've heard it described, they spend their money on "retention". But not the portal and not recruiting.

To me, that sounds like suicide.

Who are you going to retain if you don't recruit well or pull from the portal? Leftovers.

Their current class is ranked 26th. They're not recruiting anywhere near what they were and don't use the portal. He better win Sat'dy or the natives will become restless.
