Because. I could see if this was Clemson first or second time being here. It’s our 3rd time in 4 years being here and we still get no respect

If you don’t respect us, then who DO you respect? No one?

Going through life not respecting someone because you don’t like them, even though they’ve earned it, won’t get you far.

I respect LSU and their accomplishments. HELL OF A SEASON. May the best team win!

Let's not kid ourselves, Clemson is no longer the underdog who gets no respect. They are the king, and sometimes you have to kill the king.

ETA: this game it's kind of a come full circle type thing for LSU, as Clemson's win over LSU in the 2012 Peach Bowl sent both programs in opposite directions.

Your last 3 teams have absolutely zero to do with how we should feel about THIS LSU team against THIS Clemson team.

I'd say most respect Clemson as the class of college football as a whole, we just think this LSU team is on another level.

Talking shite in a message board won't affect anyone's real life.

My question to you is why are all your fans and coaches so whiny about "respect"? You got into the playoffs even though you played a UCF level schedule, I'd call that respect. It seems like anything short of bowing down to Lord Dabo is considered disrespectful to you snowflakes in South Carolina.

You have a really good team but guess what? We think we have a better one.

I guarantee that our coaches and players are giving due respect, but you have to understand what we as LSU fans have seen this year. The team has gotten better almost every week, and just when you think you've seen it all, you see the Peach Bowl.

Our defense looked like our defenses of old, and the offense, without its second most valuable player and barely making use of the Biletnikoff winner, sleptwalk to 63 points.

As evidenced by my first post in this thread, it's almost hard to believe even though we have seen it.

I guess it's a fair point. Some of us, myself included have a hard time giving credit to a team who has beat no one this year, and when they play a decent team they get outplayed by a wide margin, only to luck into a victory.

It's the Boise State problem. A few years back, Boise State had a really good football team, but because they played the equivalent of an ACC schedule no one gave them credit, year after year even though they lost like 3 games in 5 years.

So yeah, your team still gets no respect from that horrible showing in the Fiesta bowl.

Nobody is overlooking Clemson and their dynasty they have going. Stop drinking that Swinney-Aid.

I found Dabo's TD account. The pouting never ceases to amaze me.

First off last years team doesn’t mean anything for this game. Experience is a non factor as Lsu has played what 7 top ten teams in varying venues already this season. That’s probably as many has y’all have played in 3 years.

I think in the last decade more so than the past the balance of power has become more and more consolidated. There is a select few who can take out the top one to two teams. As much as it pains me to say this given the Ohio state fans on this site I came away from the fiesta thinking the committee had it right that the best two teams were Lsu and Ohio state. I absolutely hate saying this because I believe in head to head but 7/10 times Ohio state wins that game. It took the perfect storm for Clemson to win. With that said. Clemson is One of about 2-3 teams in the country who can steal one from Lsu and Ohio state this year. I just think that if LSU avoids turn overs then they win.

What kinda dime store logic is this crap. Do I personally respect Clemson, no, I could careless about Clemson. Why do I care if you feel respected?

Each team is different. It's pretty clear watching Clemson that this isn't the same defense as last year.

Respecting the program is different than respecting this specific team. Clemson obviously will continue to play for championships IMO. That's huge respect. It doesn't mean you are defacto favorite moving forward.

May the best team win!


I'm hoping both teams play their best game of the year...because LSU wins going away in that scenario IMO.

You don’t think that LSU has been disrespected? If Alabama had our resume, they’d be heralded as the best team of all time. Instead the CFP committee was manufacturing reasons not to rank us #1, up until the time they had no other choice. All we heard was how good Ohio State and Clemson were while we were mowing down ranked teams. First the media said that Texas was going to beat us, then Florida was going to beat us, then Auburn, then Bama, then UGA. You get the picture. Dabo’s “we’re disrespected” and “God wants Clemson to win” shtick has grown stale. We didn’t flinch in the spotlight of the CFP semifinal, and we will be playing in a venue that we’re well-acquainted with, in front of what’s sure to be a very pro-LSU crowd. I think we’ll be fine.

OU fans said the same thing. OU has been in the playoffs, what 4 out of 5 years? How did that playoff experience do against LSU’s lack of playoff experience?

This LSU team has played at Alabama in a matchup of 1 vs 2 with the president on hand. This LSU team played the first “huge matchup” of the 2019 season at Texas. This LSU team has played in the SEC Championship game in Atlanta against Georgia. This LSU team has played in the CFB semifinals.

Don’t fool yourselves into thinking the bright lights will get them.

You were ranked 3rd going into the playoffs after playing a shite schedule all year. Be lucky it wasn't 4 and your team isn't sitting at home on 1/13.

that's right. as a fan why should i respect you?
players and teams are a different story.

heck, even the analyst are disrespecting LSU.
but that's ok. they been questioning LSU all season.

OSU gave the game away. Clemson did enough to get by but only because of the opponents failures.

going to be entirely different in New Orleans.
