I am not sure why everyone is freakin' out! I think it is pretty cool and better yet a good complement to our program. Clemson is a top 25 program and they treated that game like a national championship and celebrated like they won one. That shows that we are elite and at the top. Everyone wants to knock the top teams down. I think a lot of SEC teams struggled in bowl games because all of them have a NC or bust mind set right now. Other conference teams see it as, “hey we are playing a SEC team and it will be a good measuring stick to see where we are as a program.” Fact of the matter is they wanted that game a lot more than we did and earned a quality win. Why dog them for celebrating it?

It was definitely a big game for the team. Fans were really down on the game after another loss to SCar, which Clemson fans are still not used to yet. Both teams put a lot into that game and we were happy to beat an elite program, especially the way we did it.

Clemson fans do not buy into the conference pride thing like y'all do. We saw it as playing LSU, not as "playing an SEC team."
