This is largely true but Tech fans, grumpy and complaining though they may be, are generally a lot more forgiving than most fan bases. I cannot think of one coach that was fired in the last 50 years that did not have every opportunity to get the job done. Carson, Pepper, Bill Lewis, Chan, you...

In the Coastal Division, its never as good as it seems nor is it as bad as it seems because usually the difference between the first place team and the last place team is often so narrow. Mediocrity is king.

This makes a lot of sense. I am in agreement with Ryan here about Virginia Tech. That teams shows all the signs of one where the wheels are about to come off. I hate to have such low expectations but if Ryan is right about beating UVA, Duke, and Miami that alone along with say GW and...

I disagree with Virginia Tech being the fourth "hardest" team in their listing of opponents from hardest to easiest. I also disagree with UNC being 8th hardest (I think) UNC is going to be tough. I do not think there is much chance for us to win more than 6 or 7 games without drastic...

OK, if you say so but I don't agree with that. We will be improved across the board and will look better I just do not know if the improvement will translate into a lot of wins. Also, I am not sure how good many of our opponents will be. Miami, UVA, Virginia Tech, Duke, Pitt, and the Cuse all...

THWG all day, every day. I don't give a damn how many number one recruiting classes they have, piss on em.

Going back to the 1960s, there has never been a game at Grant Field with Clemson when there were not hordes of them all over the place. I don't really mind, they are not near as obnoxious as UGA fans and Da U among others. Usually pretty nice folks when it comes down to it compared to some.

"GET BETTER. PLAY HARD" should be tattooed on every players' arm.

Anything from 3 wins to 6 is possible. I don't think it would take a miracle to win 6 games just a lot of improvement on both lines. If the Jackets manage to win 7 or more, then we should deify Coach Collins, tear down the Heisman statue, build Coach Collins a statue, put him in the ring of...

You were perhaps, expecting favors from the Tobacco Road Mafia?

It has been my experience, that it is just about always better for your team if you play Clemson early before they get firing on all cylinders. For whatever reason, they typically start off a little slow and get better really quick.

Pretty much. UVA returns a bunch of starters, something like 21 but none of them is named Perkins. I have forgotten what I knew about the other four but none of them should have anyone, much less us, shaking in our boots. I don't know that much about UCF just that a lot of teams in recent...

Getting Clemson early in the season is... GOOD Getting Miami late in the season is... GOOD Having the bye week roughly in the middle is... GOOD Playing only one sure fire win is... BAD Playing four teams that will be pretty heavily favored is...BAD With incremental improvement on both lines...

It can be done but even the esteemed Coach Robinson was not as popular as Coach McKay who was a regular quote machine. When he coached at Tampa Bay as an expansion franchise, he was asked by a reporter about his team's "execution" Quote the Master: "I am all for it".

Never, never, never follow a living legend as a college coach. It did not work for Bud Carson following Bobby Dodd, it did not work out for Ray Perkins following Bear Bryant, it did not work out for Hootie Ingram following Frank Howard, and it will not work out for Coach Fuente. I don't know...

Well, I was 8 years old and may have been badgering my dad about going to the Varsity after the game. Just can't remember that particular play but do remember Stovall's long TD kickoff return. That team had some pretty tough guys like Dave Watson and Rufus Guthrie on the line and fine speed...

OK, I give up. I remember Stovall's long kickoff return but I do not recall Auer dropping that wide open pass. Who is BTK? I am assuming that by 1962 Lothridge was the quarterback as Stan Gann had move on but maybe I am missing something.

The Bengals have a system?

The best quarterback in the country, a good running back with varied skills, and perhaps the best receivers in the country with a serviceable to pretty good offensive line you pretty much have to keep them off the field to have any chance. Clemson could not do that but the orange Tigers have...

Yes, that would describe pretty much any opposing quarterback down through the years facing the Tigers. Add the Mike the Tiger effect, the drunk students, the Saturday night screaming madness in Baton Rouge and yeah its comparable to a "pack of wolves".
