Was winning 5 years in a row worth

Not sure it mattered. If we don’t beat Clemson 5 years in a row, they may have had even more success earlier. Us giving them an L kept them from busting on the scene a little earlier. But they were headed there.
It is miserable right now. Can’t imagine another fan base suffering like we are. Auburn won a title in the past 10 years and can contend for one every few years. They actually beat Alabama 2 seasons ago. They aren’t suffering like we are.

Headed there doesn’t mean they were there. They did win a BCS bowl. If we don’t beat them, they likely play in more than one.
Get a hobby if your feeling tortured. It sucks but I wouldn't compare it to torture.

OP is either a tater or a very low IQ individual! I clicked on this threat out of curiosity and quickly regretted it!
It's an interesting question. Getting their a**es kicked by us 5 years in a row certainly motivated Dabo. No doubt about that. Not sure how anyone could question that. Would Clemson have morphed into the program they are now without those beat downs? It's purely theoretical, but my guess is "no." I think they'd still be quite good, but those 5 losses are what really lit a fire under Dabo to improved the program at every single level. He simply got sick of seeing his pretty good teams with incredibly athletic players get outclassed on the field by the in-state rival 5 years running. It's a classic example of using defeat to motivate yourself and become better. We, on the other hand, are a classic example of success making you complacent.
It's a great lesson for any coach to use with younger kids in sports.

I apologize for having a low IQ last night,I had gotten in an argument with someone over some draft discussions and should not have posted in anger.
Beating them twice in a row is what set this off... the last three wins were just the band playing till the Titanic sunk... iceberg had already hit.
At least Auburn and NC State have championships in basketball and football. Auburn even has a couple undefeated seasons where they didnt get a NC
Fact is, we had the chance to turn the tide on this rivalry and we blew it. We seem to be the world's best at not capitalizing on momentum in sports.
Never apologize to a bunch of nameless, faceless critics. I think about that question quite a bit. I dont see anything wrong with discussing it.
We should be compared to Georgia and Alabama. That's the teams we have to beat to win a Conference Championship. If we don't compare ourselves to them we will never win the SEC.
Don't apologize to a bunch of keyboard tough guys. You had a question and this is a message board for discussion.
It caused Daba daba doo to start cheating harder and winning at all costs. History has a tendency of repeating itself....just look back at the 80s for reference.
Most AD's would've fired the coach after fans message board outrage. Most Clemson fans I know wanted Dabo fired. To DR's credit, he didn't make a rash move.
