Tale of two tigers

Everyone points to 1/9/12 as the night the heart was ripped from the Tiger program, but I contest 12/31 of that same year was the solidification of the decline. A 10-2 Hill/Mingo/Mettsiah led LSU team met 10-2 Clemson in the Peach bowl. We complained at the match-up and predicted we’d destroy them. They beat us by 1 point after holding us to 1 yard of offense in the 4th quarter. 1 pathetic yard!!! We haven’t won 10 regular season games since then. We’ve been beaten into obscurity and haven’t won a game of major significance. Now...look at Clemson. Before that year...there was talk of Dabo not being the answer. I heard Clemson fans say, “This experiment isn’t working.” Now what have they done, since? Complete opposite of the real tigers. The fake Death Valley inhabitants are in the CFP for the 3rd straight year and we are complaining about concessions, Alleva, and pseudo fans leaving at half-time. What’s it gonna take for us to stop the bleeding and make the changes to be relevant again? I am so proud we are 9-3 and turned the season around...but make no mistake....we are no longer ELITE...Middle of the pack sucks. I can understand Alabama always being considered “a superior program”....They were for years and I loathe them. But Clemson is now elite? I’m ready for the real TIGERS to stand up and roar.
