Clemsoning

I don't need to recap yesterday's loss to Wake Forest.

This article covers everything that happened accurately and completely - Morning After Recap.

7 and 4 (probably 8 - 4 after next Saturday) is a record anyone would have taken back in August. As it is, We lost 2 games - where we won every statistic, by a LOT, but still lost the game. We truly lost to Wake Forest and South Carolina - they did not beat us. We should be 9 - 2 right now.

And we played Clemson evenly. You could say we lost that game as well. Missed field goals and overthrown wide open receivers - not to mention the most lopsided officiating I've seen in years. We had opportunities to win but didn't get the job done.

This is what Clemson used to be known for. Every year they'd lose a game there was no way they should have lost. Clemsoning.

I guess that's part of trying to build a program. It happened to Clemson and even Alabama before they got so good this sort of thing just didn't happen any more. It takes an over abundance of talent, fundamental coaching and great play calling.

We're not there yet.

I've said before - In a weird way, we're in a great place.

It's good to be able to complain about not being undefeated; not going to the ACC Championship Game; or even better (New Year's Six or National Champion Playoffs).

For decades these sort of possibilities were a pipe dream. This really could be our breakthrough year. If we keep on recruiting, coaching and getting better each year, we'll look back as see this year as when it all started to happen.

But today - I'm still pissed off about losing to South Carolina and now Wake Forest.

Clemsoning.
