I was really disappointed after the FSU game.

As I sat there watching, I grew incredibly frustrated. Probably as angry as I've ever been at a Clemson basketball game.
Why, you ask?
If we had more Clemson fans in attendance, we might've been able to keep it under a 10 point loss. There weren't even that many FSU fans there, meaning that there were plenty of available tickets. I estimate that we could've outnumbered their fans at least 2 to 1 if we cared more about basketball.
The lack of fans there really let our team down. Players didn't feel supported. Brad didn't either.
Can you imagine how Brad must've felt, knowing that Clemson fans were at home tracking Tony Elliott's every move on Flight Aware, and stewing over the latest Tiger football player who would be transferring, instead of supporting our basketball team in a big road game?
All of these things made it really hard for Brad to coach.
Plus, we can't forget how much COVID has impacted this team. Missing all of those practices, as well as those two games earlier this month, means that we probably won't hit our stride for at least another month.
Show this team some grace, please. We really can't expect them to keep it within 20 points, given the above disadvantages.
Go Tigers!

Thankfully, I already have a 2010 Dom Perignon set aside for that special occasion. The vintage pays homage to the year we hired Brad.

How did Brad know about the Football transfer before the BB game?

How do you think Dabo has kept his job all these years?
He owes Brad a huge debt of gratitude.

Huh? You have that backwards! I guarantee the uptick in recruiting and the recruit interested in Clemson has come from Dabo and the football team exposure! BB didn't become a super star recruiter all the sudden. If Dabo didn't like bball, bring all those recruits to games over the years, BB would not have had the exposure. If our football was like Vandy or Wake Forest over last 10yrs, BB would have been fully invested into another college because he wouldn't have the glory of National playoffs and Championship's to help promote his team. You will never convince me otherwise.

stomping on the tripwire, even knowing that the bazookas are already aimed at you.
I have no shots to take. I got off the Brad Brownell bandwagon a couple years ago, but this latest outburst of poor play has even me befuddled, since the team looked so good early on.

Thing is, when you look at the makeup of a good tournament team, the Tigers check all the boxes. Nobody will want to play us in March.

Welcome back. We had some fun while you were gone. You have been named several people such as Brad Brownell himself, Brads wife, Tim Borrett, and many others. How do you maintain so many amazing personas?

I sat almost court side for the FSU game and watched intently at the defense we payed for 12 opening minutes man to man full court was spectacular. We played with great presence.... covid must give you amnesia as we forgot everything we did to win....I threw up behind the dumpster after the second loss we got blowed out of the gym....I will be there Wednesday night hoping I didn’t drive four hours to watch a group sorting out playground issues.... man up for Gods sake

Clemson wasn't at home, they were at FSU. 5-6hr drive for most alumni. Clemson has crapped the bed the last 2 games after showing a little hope. Lost last 2 games when ranked by combined over 50pts and they showed zero heart. Then play FSU very uninspired bball. It looks like 2 different teams from pre-CV to post CV break. This has to be coaching, and don't tell me that young players are fickle. We have more Brownell experience than we have probably ever had and likely the most talent ever.
JK, while I think your Brownell fandom is great, there has to be a break point. Almost 80pts deficit in last 3 games, after showing some talent, it's a coaching problem. One game, ok! 2 games, uhmm maybe but still looking pathetic, but then against game that they already beat once should have built confidence and they still looked horrible.
I like BB, but his ability is capped, other coaches out-coach him continuously especially after they get to see how he sets his players third of way into season. I will always like snd pull for BB, but it's time for a change, we will always be the same mid-level team and only make NCAA when the ACC is weak.

He was just being objective and realistic. That loss at FSU was on us, the fans. If we don't do our part of road tripping to Tallahassee, how in the heck is our team supposed to be motivated. We all meed to take off our masks for a sec and we need to look in the mirror and take a serious look at ourselves and decide to step it up.
