I love fluke wins.

Two in a row will make me happy!

3 National Championships in 4 years will be the Ultimate.

Good Luck Later Today

My family is in New Orleans. Lots of great LSU fans.

We have been treated well, lots of GOOD NATURED fan interactions.
THANK YOU!!

I have tons of wonderful LSU friends and work collegues.

We have more similarities than differences.

Clemson has it's work cut out for them!

You have a great team and are favored for a good reason!

GOOD LUCK!

GO TIGERS!

Your DTs versus our OGs will be an interesting battle. Both of our guards are seniors, do better against big powerful players than speed. Both guards are state wrestling champs and one is a 2 time national high school wrestling champion(Cervenka).

our slot receiver is Amari Rodgers. He is similar to CEH in build and running style. We haven't used him nearly enough the last half of the season. He is Tee Martin's son - Tenn's National Championship QB.

He had ACL reconstruction 9 months ago.

I have no problem seeing why you are favored by 7.

As for experience - Lawrence didn't have any last year. You have played in plenty of pressure situations.

Good luck!

Find me in New Orleans and I will be happy to buy a round and talk football.
Scared, NO!

A Healthy Respect - YES!

Recent history says we won't play scared, which is all that really matters.

If you are on Clemson's Tigernet - then you are experiencing the lunatic fringe. Please accept apology!
The 4 years prior to this year Clemson has given up 45,31,24 and 16 points to Alabama.

We are 2-2.

I'm here.

The original poster may be correct.

Heck - you are favored by 6 for a reason.

We'll still show up and play hard.

Not all of us. I'll conduct myself as a "Guest on Your Board".

That's how Momma taught me.
Please go back and watch the 2012 Chick-fil-a Bowl between LSU and Clemson. We were running a HUNH offense that wasn't used much in The SEC at the time.

LSU had a frustrating for us strategy for slowing down our rapid play operation, and it is used by many others to slow the time of play. Watch the last possession. The issue is people may be hurt - who knows. Starts at about 2:26 in.

BTW - Jennings just broke Nuk Hopkins's record in The Peach Bowl. Tip of the hat!

I'm only 66 years old, but for as long as I can remember, Clemson fans, particularly at away games, greet each other with "Go Tigers!"

I don't think Dabo was trying to make fun of Coach O.

Ours is not Geaux Tigers! That's LSU.

SC does have a French Huguenot tradition though.

More similarities than differences.

Clemson fired Kevin Steele, now at Auburn, to hire Brent Venables because he was more successful defending spread offenses.

100% of Clemson fans are happy we did.

OSU had over 500 total yards against us but only scored 23 points, which was 26 points under their previous scoring average - eerily similar to your game with Auburn.

That being said, we have never faced an offense as good as yours.
Clemson has 5 wide receivers 6'4" or taller.
Higgins
Ross
Overton
Ladson
Ngata

We don't have any blazing speed in that group, but Amari Rodgers is quick and surprisingly fast. He looks like C E-H playing slot receiver. He also returns punts. Great story - as he had ACL surgery in late March and played in late September.

Etienne has really improved his catching ability out of the backfield.

We have an uphill battle - playing the Number 1 team in the nation at your "place". We met the challenge of a Number 1 undefeated Alabama in 2017 and 2019.

We'll show up and play.

I expect a score similar to our first game against Alabama in Arizona - 45-41. I just hope we are on the right side this time.

My Initials - R.R.

Robert!

Thank you!

You were also tons of help to me, but Larry was the consummate Extension mentor for me. I remember my first trip to Baton Rouge and stopping with him in a little country store and my first introduction to boudin. :lol:

The first time I saw Coach O I thought of Larry!
Your version of Tiger Rag and intro to Tiger Rag is better!

Dang son, we’ve got to know each other for sure, Larry de la Bretonne was one of my closest friends, work colleagues and a mentor to me in my professional career until his untimely passing. Think about him often. Larry and Coach O do have a similar physique

I’ve good memories of trips to Clemson and interactions with colleagues there. I’ll make a stab, your initials J.W.?

Yes sir - JW!

Please - what are your initials?

Tell these bastards to eat shite and die . They don’t deserve respect and we are going to beat the shite out of their home alone kid[/quote]

I am a "guest in their house". I am not going to act like a jackass.

I prefer to act like a Clemson gentleman.
Our guards do better against size and strength than speed. Both are seniors and state high school wrestling champions. Gage Cervenka was National wrestling champion in High School.

Your speed scares me more than your size.

BLAST AWAY!
We :Gather at The Paw" even when we lose. It's unique and sadly will have to stop one day because of the world we live in. Kids get to run around on the field after the game and play like they are Clemson football players.

We were first, as yours was Deaf Valley originally.

Yours may be more famous.

We're just little ole Clemson!

I'll be there with 2 of my adult children.

Won't have to watch on TV - just have to get a loan for all the travel! :violin:
We lost Two O Linemen.

Our center and left tackle.
