What a Bowl "turn-around" from Belk Bowl loss to Skip Holtz team!

Geez..what a crappy bowl, record low turn-out of Tiger Fans & a humilitating loss.
But, Tajh came in late & scored two fast TD's to make it close...and IF we'd gotten kick-off recovery he may have won the game.
I saw in Dabo's eyes that day a look that he would never go through this again..and would make some major staff changes..and He Did, and Clemson football slowly took oFF!
Today the Tigers have won some big games since then..including bowl games.
GoTiGERS...Boom the Sooners and continue rolling!

Ughh I was at that bowl game...I could tell walking in that it wasn't going to be good. Our fans weren't into it and there's were....and our team played like it didn't want to be there... Totally worst bowl experience I've ever had!
We have surely come a long way since then.....keep it rolling Tigers!!!

Walked out of the stadium convinced that our football program was down for the count and would never recover. Very depressed by the lack of fan support, poor play, and loss to a mid-major team with at least a couple hundred fans at the game. Didn't see how Dabo could turn it around. So glad I was dead wrong. Even with the losses to the coots, the last few seasons have been a lot of fun and it is only going to get better. Can't wait to see FSU, ND, GT, and BC in the Valley next year. Go Thigers and beat the Sooners.

Yea my wife and I went to that game and it wasn't pleasant at all. Right after that game I felt like it was a major waste of time and money, but looking back we can say we supported the Tigers during embarrassing and pointless bowl games and during a losing season. That was a depressing ride back home. My how times have changed.

, for instance. they have a bad year (love it!), but a few good years had them spoiled, and they are deserting "their team" faster than the iraqian army did during desert storm. in my opinion, and i am sure i am not alone, is that it is a whole heck of a lot tougher to be a fan when your team isn't "the talk of the town", than when they are winning. i didn't get one for christmas, but if someone had given me a bandwagon yesterday for christmas, i would take away the tickets' of anyone who wants to get on who is not there no matter the outcome of the latest game, in any sport clemson participates in..
