re: Curious about opinions on Clemson

Until they have a schedule like those in the SEC West face each year, we'll never know how good they really are. In 9-10 games, they're up by 4 TD's at half, so they can play and develop backups and 3rd stringers. More importantly, they rest their starters and avoid injuries. There's no grind like SEC West teams have each year.

The only thing I think about with Clemson is the fact that little did I know, when I attended that bowl game in January of 2013 that I was witnessing an inflection point for both programs. Clemson essentially replaced us as a yearly national championship contender at that game. Our program started a decline (which I was in denial about at the time), and they began their climb to elite status.

I've said on this forum many times before, I remember coming on the Rant days before that game, and how all the LSU folks were looking down their noses at Clemson and lamenting the fact that we had to play such a weak opponent. Remember how everyone used to use the term "Clemsoning"? Meaning, Clemson was known for blowing big games. Remember the previous bowl season, they had been beaten by West Virginia, and how WVU put 70 points on them......................? And that was a WVU team we'd beaten during that magical 2011 season.

I'm not sure anyone even remembers any of that now. Now the tables are turned. WE are the program not on THEIR level, and they would probably look down on us if WE have to play them any time soon. Oh, how quickly things can change in the world of college football.

ACC is weak

However Dabo is doing something amazing at Clemson and this years recruiting class might be the best in history. Heskilling it.

I kinda like them as long as we atprent playing them. Hope they destroy A&M

One of the biggest benefits of cheering for both means that I got to prematurely feel the joy of my team beating the crap out of bama during this tough streak. Can't wait for LSU to do it again soon! It's even better than you think

if we could've recruited Desean and Lawrence we'd have won some more championships. Dabo has done a great job but his real genius is getting those 2 on campus.

even Les couldn't have screwed up with Desean.

You actually attend Clemson, so no qualms at all about your being a Clemson football at. They're a good program, on a roll, you're attending there while they happen to winning championships, and best yet--they beat Bama.
