Let's slow the Clemson roll
Jul 23, 2017, 3:58 PM

Clemson has arguably the best college program over the past 2 years.
Clemson is arguably in the top 3 programs over the past 5 years.
However Clemson doesn't have the pedigree as Bama, Ohio St & FSU. Danone may get us there but not there yet. That being said given what he's done so far CDS is moving the Tigers that direction.

C what you're saying but also have to agree with Francis.
Have to disagree and say we've been that pedigree this decade.

We get more hidden gems (e.i. Hunter Renfrow), than those two. They just land high 4*s/5*s with what seems like ease. I would say their advantage has particularly been on the O-line and in numbers in general.

We played our very first BCS game in 2012, man. Get real. Ohio State and Oklahoma both played in BCS games 11/12 out of the 15 years it was in running. And bama, well I didn't even bother looking them up as it's irrelevant.

Finally a sensical Tnetters! We are absolutely among the elite right now, but I've had enough of our base disrespecting programs that have the pedigree of these programs. I'd also ad Oklahoma in that list as we live to tear them down while they're actuall far more successful then even fsu. I think the last two years of success makes folks forget that we played in our first ever New Years 6 game in 2012.....that said, let's keep this thing going Dabo!!
Go tigers!!

OU has been overhyped garbage except for one year (2000) and another where they beat Bama in a bowl game (2014). You'd have to go back to the 80's beyond those 2 exceptions. Now, they have had a ton of players, and I bet had Stoops not meddled in Brent's business they would have had a lot more to show with those players. However, I believe FSU has had more talent over the past 30 years than OU, more National Championships, too.

I agree with a lot of what ppl are saying. Yes Dabo is becoming one of the best coaches in CFB yes clemson is now part of the elite by having 2nd most wins in this decade only behind bama with 3 ACC titles bsc bowl win and 2 natty and 1 natty win since 2010. But also I agree that just bc we beat OU past 2 times and OSU never beat us the 3 times we have played and 1-1 with bama but they have a lot more history than us. We would be with them if the 90s and early 2000s didn't go so bad bc 80s we were very good too they just continued we didn't now we are back up there but got a little more work to do another title or 2 and we will be those guys no one could dispute clemson being a powerhouse blueblood! Go Tigers!

Boise State also played in a BcS game before Clemson did. That's all I'm saying. We don't need to slow our roll, but maybe just tone it down when talking to other CFB fans. Nothing wrong with celebrating, but acting like football starts and stops with Clemson when we technically are the new guys is annoying.

A lot easier to go through the old Moutain West unscathed than win the ACC.

6 straight 10+ win seasons. We have been there for 6 years compared to a lot of the "pedigrees". Clemson IS a pedigree. Accept it.

We will not "slow the Clemson roll". We will keep rolling over these "blue bloods" that you are scared of. You need to ask yourself if you'd tell Dabo or any of the coaches that crap to their faces. What a joke.
Ah, downvoted with no response. Nice

It's "what have you done for me lately." And lately, The Clemson Tigers are the one and only National Champs. That's good enough for me.

Yeah, it is obvious. Still, I'm bored and very opinionated about OU. ??

How is this belittling Clemson? Because I'm not saying Clemson has the past pedigree to rival Bama, Ohio St. or FSU? We don't. What we have now and over the last 5+ years is a program that is one of the top 3 in the nation. Those of us who have been around realize what an incredible achievement this is. Danny never took us there. He built a great program that was arguably top 10-12 in the nation during the 80s. That is a great achievement as well. Only 3 active coaches other than Dabo have a natty. We beat them all in one year last season. Incredible. What Dabo has built is unprecedented in the history of Clemson (and many other schools) and I am certain he will continue to be successful. Let's enjoy being at the top of the college football mountain.

New money problems
Jul 24, 2017, 9:45 AM
|
|
After years of applying, Clemson finally has been,accepted to the country club.
However, we dont have a full golf membership (just pool, dining, and 5 rounds a year) and are in our probationary period.
But we are still a member. No one else has been let in recently so still a big deal.

Clemson isn't Oregon where a program comes out of nowhere to have success. Clemson has a proud history and has been a strong program.
It's just the level of recent success which has put Clemson in the rarified air.
