[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 429942, member: 4015"] At any football factory not just Clemson, the whole school is "football dedicated" not just the athletic facilities. Clemson has been trying for decades to be thought of as an honest to goodness football factory spoken in the same breath as UGA, Alabama, FSU, Miami, Auburn, and the like. That they have not was not due to a lack of effort in building state of the art facilities and such but probably a combination of ordinary coaching through the years, a limited recruiting base to some degree in South Carolina, and just plain bad luck. 2011 is a good example. Here was Clemson poised at 8-0, ranked #5 in the country, and filled to the brim with stellar athleticism on both sides of the ball attempting at week 9 to do what had been done only once before in ACC history. That is, get to 9-0. All they had to do was beat a pretty average Georgia Tech team at Grant Field. Tevin Washington had, perhaps, his best game as a Yellow Jacket and Tech ruined yet another top 10 team's quest for glory. Those days of upsetting Clemson by Tech or any of the other peasants are probably gone for the present. Tip of the hat to Dabo he has done what Danny Ford, Tommy Bowden, Coach West, and others could not do and knock down the door to the exclusive football factory club. [/QUOTE]
