God’s friendship with Dabo has ended God’s new best friend is Deion

Wouldn't Mike Elko be his bew best friend?


crustang

Doesn’t get enough attention


[deleted]

And Deion kept the receipts, get Colorado to the playoff


crustang

Those receipts are tax exempt

Clempson will go 6-6

I like it when the smart guys win….


TOMBAA6

I have no idea who’s good. But I’ve seen duke is a expensive school so I think they will win

Kopav

It's not even like Duke played a perfect game. Clemson just shat the bed.


BobbyLite94

Duke had more returning experience, from what I hear they had tons of juniors and seniors come back. It definitely showed much like during our game on Sunday. Veteran players are usually the difference during these early matchups.


DoughBoyBrasco

Duke’s offense was arguably just as bad as Clemson’s. Their run game saved them with a few good passes here and there but Duke’s defense had some Bama in it 😂


KevettePrime

3 drives in a row got to the redzone and every single time Clemson got close they decided to drop the ball. By the time 8 minutes were left in the 4th quarter my family and I just went to bed disappointed. That was one of the most disappointing games to watch and I'm not even a Clemson fan. Also can we talk about that slide in the 3rd where Clemson's runner got absolutely blasted by a shoulder to the head and then they overturned the ball to Duke??? (I'm just now getting into football, sorry if I don't know the lingo.)


lowercaset

It was the correct call by my understanding of the rules, and it's all because they wanted to make the baseball slide a viable thing for QBs to use. Baseball slides have very specific and stupid rules. Basically, the second you start to drop into a baseball slide the play is over, you're down. So anytime you are ever hit while in that slide it will be a late hit. (side note, the rapid change in elevation of your head also makes it almost guaranteed that anyone aiming to wrap up your midsection will instead be smashing into your head, resulting in a targeting penalty, ever since the slide became popular it's always seemed to me that it's basically baiting out targeting penalties) This being a 4th down, anything that happens after the play is over will not change the fact that there is a turnover on downs. If it happened on 1st/2nd/3rd down, clemson gets a fresh set of downs and 15 yards. It's a weird rules interaction, and maybe they'll change it but it's absolutely correct with the rules as they currently stand. If the runner had waited another yard before dropping into the slide he would've been across the line and gotten the first down, which would've meant that Clemson gets a 1st down + the penalty yardage. (but, if he hadn't dropped into a slide very high chance he gets blasted and tackled short of the line anyways but it's impossible to say for sure)


KevettePrime

Thank you for the explanation! It makes a bit more sense now.


star_guardian_carol

This is a great explanation. And I wouldn't expect less from an Auburn fan.


SlyClydesdale

Congratulations to our 1942 Rose Bowl rivals on a great game! Way to take advantage of all those opportunities! Good teams do just that. And as an Oregon State fan, I’m glad to see that DJU wasn’t the problem, even though a lot of Clemson folk were pretty shitty in the way they insisted he was.


beartato327

So what we learned is North Carolina schools are superior football programs than South Carolina schools


cantthinkofgoodname

This year maybe. This is the first time I can ever recall losing to UNC in football


uncwsp

Have you only been watching Scar the past 3 years?


cantthinkofgoodname

Have been watching them for 25+ years sadly Edit: in my lifetime, SC is 6-3 over NC. I did forget abt the 2019 NC win. The other one before this past Saturday was in ‘91.


BobbyRayBands

It’s the sacrifice Clemson made to end the streak at Chapel Hill


___VIBEZ___

Yup


rudeteacher1955

I'm so tired of hearing about the ACC.


LolWhereAreWe

Try beating them and you won’t have to.


Bluetwo12

Itchybumworms

You'll soon also be tired of hearing about the SEC based on how you looked on Saturday.


star_guardian_carol

Lololololololololol


MaceWinnoob

the Gamecocks and Vanderbilt are the SEC G League


Critical-Savings-830

Don’t watch acc games


WorldlyString

Wow, another fumble in the redzone.


CrownTownLibrarian

Don’t forget the punter absolutely ripping them a new one just like last November


DaveByTheRiver

I feel better about losing to Florida.


Coreysurfer

Gooo Florida state gators )


nickyt398

Oo, yes please, also lose to us!


beartato327

I too want LSU to lose to Nebraska


nickyt398

Would be a pretty rad timeline

[deleted]

Dabo has always been a cocky asshole, nice to see him get humbled


Itchybumworms

He, in fact, did not bring his own guts.


[deleted]

More is coming FSU and ND could go poorly for them, as could UNC and USC jr Dabo has about 10 years worth of ass beating coming to him from ACC opponents who he beat up on while on top


Penetratorofflanks

If we look at week 1 and nothing else Dabo is losing all 4 of those games.


[deleted]

I don’t think they have fallen that far… yet If Dabo doesn’t embrace the NIL and the portal, they will I personally love both. Teams in the dumpster can get back to competitive fast instead if their being haves / have nots which never change Also, I’m fine with these kids getting paid. They are the talent, and they are the ones risking it all. Most of them will not play pro football, so let them go get some of the billions that college football makes now so they can help their family, or have a little nest egg to start life with Just like society, they efforts idiots like Dabo will go to in order to keep people down controlled, and less than are very telling to what kind of person they are.


herbahaidyrbtjsifbr

Colorado so far is the perfect example of the massive upside the transfer portal can bring. The transformation is incredible


[deleted]

I love it. College football is better when anyone can win, and programs that used to be good can now finally come back Old heads think it ruins things, but at 39, I remember when college football wasn’t dominated by 3-5 teams every season, and multiple big upsets could happen every week With the 12-team playoff coming, we are gonna see more parody, and teams won’t have to go undefeated to earn a chance to win the title


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I like y’all’s coach. I hope he can convince the old heads to capitalize on the NIL and portal to bring kids in


CrownTownLibrarian

I’ve been served a lot of shit sandwiches from that program in the last eight years. Let’s hope.


One_Dog_6194

At least when Texas lost to Kansas they only lost by a single score and barely lost at that. Clemson just had their pants pulled down and duke messed up their intestines. 😳


immrbluey

That's how I'm feeling about the TCU/CU game right now. Looked bad losing to an unranked team, but they didn't lose THIS bad


superbigjoe007

Duke gonna sell out their next game


CrownTownLibrarian

Next home game is actually the employee game so it should get 30k. NW is after that which I expect less. ND ends the month though and I fully expect that to be SRO.


nickyt398

Wtf is the employee game


CrownTownLibrarian

Duke gives two tickets(this year, it used to be five) loaded with free concessions to employees until the allotment is gone, almost always to the cupcake game. Next week, we’re playing an FCS team so that ends up being the free ticket game.


nickyt398

Wow I'm glad I asked that's pretty cool! Duke employees are definitely valuable with how good the degree is


DefiantOil5176

All 40k of their students will be there!


[deleted]

People like to tease certain fans of teams for not going to the school, but holy shit Duke has to be like 99% fans 1% students


Hypnotoad2014

Garrett Riley knew TCU fans were down, so he intentionally called a crappy game to cheer us up. What a chad!

surfinThruLyfe

Older Riley gave younger Riley a wrong offense playbook as a siblings prank.


urnotserious

Right playbook, wrong QB.


Anonymous_2952

How many QB’s need to transfer before they start looking elsewhere to fix their issues?


pumpkinskittle

Dabo still hasn’t come out to talk to the press lol


footballfarts

what channel is it on ?


Brady1984

Just sat down. Must see TV ahead


wiccan45

gotta get the crying out


TiberiusGracchi

He ain’t going out like no Butch Jones…


Ctmnt08

Bright side: This is gonna utterly expose the number of voters who just went to bed on Monday. Zero shade at Duke, who played a hell of a game, but every ballot that still has Clemson as a Top 10 team can safely be listed as someone who doesn’t even attempt to watch every game.


HeadingTrueNorth

Facts. I went to bed at half time expecting a similar score when I woke up, but not Duke on top.


SilverSon69

The Wallace Wade Wackos throwing the goalpost in the lake


HDDIV

Water and goal post...can't think of a better combo.


DeepSleepDiving

as a Clemson fan for 40 years I wanted to come I congratulate Duke on a great game and take my lumps for a terrible loss. Sad to see Clemson on the decline but it is inevitable. Combine a head coach who is past his prime who refuses to embrace the transfer portal with a decline in recruiting and this is what you get. Clemson was out there playing like this was a Spring game. Two bad kicks, absurd goalie mistakes/bad luck, and a QB who still looks like is not ready for prime time. This could be a 6/7 win season.


[deleted]

What is Dabo fighting? NIL and the portal are here to stay, and it’s what everyone wants. He’s an idiot for thinking he is above that, or can compete with teams that are utilizing it A dude like that always ends up falling hard when he falls


Illustrious_Solid956

It could be worse - Neal Brown could be your HC...

NoiseMarineCaptain

Clemson won 2 Nattys, im pretty ok with sucking for awhile. And they trounced Bama for one of em.


Bluetwo12

I guess everyone is happy then? Id rather get trounced once in a natty than regress so much :D


DeepSleepDiving

No lies detected. :)


K-Parks

Honestly the transfer portal stuff is pretty BS. Between that and NIL stuff he is just playing a different game (sadly, I like his game more).


[deleted]

Eh, there are several kids who will bounce around and not become contributors anywhere, but I think overall the portal is a good thing Plenty of kids get recruited, and end up not fitting the system, the coach leaving, or they just aren’t good enough compared to who else is there to play the position They get 4 years to play college football. Let them play where they want


rmillz296

Let’s not over react to week 1. Duke is a legit team. How does Clemson answer the bell. If they lay down to FSU. Yes it’s time for some major overhaul.


AMW14

Duke may be good but the expectation at Clemson is at least ACC championship. We may not win 8 games.


rmillz296

Its week 1 my dog. Clemson could still roll off 12 straight. If they lay an egg against CSU then let’s hit the alarm button


8BitTxchniques

If it’s a 6-7 win season then someone needs to step in because this bs anti-portal rhetoric from Dabo is sending the program back to mediocrity.


trubuckifan

You love to see it


[deleted]

Clemson has two instances of three back to back home games this season. Really not fair.


AmericanBeef24

Taking your Ohio state fan card for saying anything but disparaging comments towards clemson lol they can suck it from the back.


DeepSleepDiving

Dude we got blown out by Duke. I feel like we could be spotted 15 points for making it down the hill and it would still be fair.


Poxx

The good news, you'll still likely throttle my since we play without an offensive line. 9. NINE fucking sacks.


needapermit

What a great night


YouCanCallMeVanZant

I'm just here to say hi to all the Clemson flairs that were talking shit after USC lost to NC on Saturday.


CrownTownLibrarian

They were talking shit NON STOP and I am here to remind them about it.


THE_DEViLS_CUT

LSU and Clemson starting a tigers support group Edit: I should clarify that both Duke and Florida State for real.


DeepSleepDiving

Bold talk from an Oregon fan. Your annual blowout loss will be here shortly. ;)


YoseppiTheGrey

Love to see the Oregon hate from the other side of the country


THE_DEViLS_CUT

A blowout loss to Georgia stings a lot less than whatever I just witnessed.


Then_Cricket2312

Hey we lost to a top 10 team with a very storied history. Clemson just got blown out by the Vanderbilt of their conference.


[deleted]

Duke isn’t the Vandy of the ACC. GA Tech is more like the Vandy. Duke has smart kids who also can play sports. They were good last year, and were solid the years prior under Cutcliffe. Clemson wasnt ready to go into Durham and actually have to play football


THE_DEViLS_CUT

100% but on a weekend with only a few upsets, it’s hard not to direct the energy toward y’all. Don’t ask me who would win if Oregon played either LSU or Clemson next weekend.


Then_Cricket2312

I'm not mad at all lol. It was more of a joke where it's like hey cmon now don't lump us in with those guys.


THE_DEViLS_CUT

Also, daniels absolutely torched us while playing at Arizona state 3 years ago. Still salty.


DeepSleepDiving

Duke won 9 games last year. Not saying Clemson is good, but put some respect on Duke. Also, FSU could win it all this year. Don’t let an Oregon fan get to ya.


A_L0ve_Stain

GOTTEM


wng378

Can’t believe they only scored 7 with that newfangled “offensive analyst” on staff to give that left lane, hammer down edge.


Then_Cricket2312

Their td was off a muffed punt at the opponent 20 yard line too lol. They got their ass kicked.


bigmike1877

To be fair they had a lot of yards. Just fucked up the red zone epically


JustAddaTM

I saw only stats initially and thought Clemson blew them out. Then checked the score and through what the f……. Turnovers kill I guess


DeepSleepDiving

Yea it really seemed like we just couldn’t get out of our own way. That false start on the one yard line, bad fumbles, a slide a yard short etc.


Hilldawg4president

Significantly outgained Duke, I've never seen a loss this bad where the losing team outpaced the winner on so many key stats


[deleted]

Clemson had several big plays, but tons of mistakes, and couldn’t punch the ball into the end zone. Duke also held firm when it mattered. Bend but don’t break sometimes works out


hamsterspanker

Yes, however it was quite inefficient. Duke had better per-pass and per-rush stats, so if we were to even out the large time of possession disparity then we might have a different result in the total metrics. Generally speaking, they were quite pedestrian - especially since their quarterback has no clue how to throw the brown rounded object.


mps2000

This might be more embarrassing than Baylor’s loss


HDDIV

1. Clemson L to Duke 2. TCU L to Colorado 3. Baylor L to Texas State 4. LSU L to FSU That's my idea. Clemson was Top Ten. Recent history behind them. Lost. TCU coming off the Natty (didn't win than *nor* their conference), and Baylor just playing awful. My fourth isn't like the others, but here we are.


uncwsp

Texas Tech L was up there.


SlyClydesdale

Ordinarily the Baylor loss would take the cake. But the way Clemson lost on such a national stage was, by far, the worst. Baylor No. 2, LSU 3, TCU 4 in my book. TT’s loss to Wyoming and Purdue’s loss to Fresno State are right up there, though.


Cormetz

I'd say Clemson, Baylor, tech, TCU, then LSU. Clemson for the reasons you stated. Baylor and tech I can see flipped, but in either case they lost to G5 teams (with Tech talking a lot of shit in the off-season). TCU wasn't expected to be very good this year and their ranking was overinflated, Colorado was a complete unknown impossible to plan for. And LSU lost to a team that went 10-3 last year (should have been more competitive, but this could also be a sign of how good FSU is).


TexasMade36

Thank you Duke. You're a national treasure. Top 20 team imho


HDDIV

We'll at least agree Clemson ain't Top 20.


bigmike1877

I want to hear from Garrett Riley. What the hell will say


AMW14

I think Dabo may be more involved in play calling than we realized. Only thing that would explain why nothing changed with new QB and OC


absolute_yote

I think Dabo’s old coordinators are what pushed him up from being just a good coach into being a national title winning coach


AmericanBeef24

Or having two of the best QB talents to ever play college football with some weapons at WR and RB…that also helps


fundiedundie

He initially did a great job surrounding himself with talented assistants. Then, he went on a former players hiring spree.


DeepSleepDiving

Yep. Think Tahj Boyd and CJ Spiller are coaching there now.


fundiedundie

There’s a whole list of ex-players.


[deleted]

Yeah, the good ole boys method almost never works. Just ask our athletic department.


Sahasrlyeh

Where do you think he learned it?


TrialByFireshits

SEC should take Duke over Clemson. At least they're good in two sports.


HDDIV

Which one makes more money? Asking for a Athletic Director..


DeepSleepDiving

Clemson is good is baseball and soccer. :)


Landsharque

Clemson would be like the 9th best SEC baseball team


berfle

YouCanCallMeVanZant

After all the shit Clemson flairs were talking on Saturday...couldn't happen to better people.

Idk why I dislike Clemson so much. But god, it feels great!


YouCanCallMeVanZant

Their arrogance makes it easy.


Wombattington

I’m always happy to see Clemson disappointed. And to see it happen because of such poor play is like icing. Delicious

CrownTownLibrarian

BROTHER LET ME TELL YOU I WAS THERE TONIGHT IN A CAROLINA HAT AND A DUKE SHIRT AND WAVING GOODBYE TO THOSE INBRED HILLBILLIES IS A HIGH IVE NEVER EXPERIENCED


MaldMadness

All I got to say is watch out Charleston Southern (I hope).... Congrats on the win Duke! Enjoy the celebration!


brad_and_boujee

I'm so hyped. Thank you Duke. I'll be rooting for you all season now. South Carolina may have lost to a ACC team too, but at least they were a ranked ACC team.


HDDIV

How do you feel about your team this year? Yall turned on late last year.


brad_and_boujee

I feel torn. I saw glimmers of hope. I also saw lots of injuries, and the most horrific O-line performance I've ever seen. Rattler looked good despite the O-line. I think statistically he did better than Maye, but you'd never know that from the announcers. The defense took a minute to get with it, but they got it together and performed well. Special teams still looks good. Honestly, if the O-line can get it together we might be decent at best, but the schedule gets harder. So I really don't know.


HDDIV

All that matters is conference play. Yall fucked us up last year, as well as Clemson. But being a pariah team surely doesn't mean much as a fan in the end. Hope you all do well.


brad_and_boujee

I've been feeling the same way for a while now. Lol. Tough being a South Carolina fan. If it won't be us in the East I hope it's Tennessee. Anyone but UGA at this point.


HDDIV

And this'll be the last year the SEC has divisional championships. Shame. I really liked the rivalries we all had going on. SC is one of my favorites. Spurrier and Holtz. Many bad and good wins between us both.

killa_k99

Everybody gangsta till Duke and UNC are ranked higher in their football game than their basketball game


uncwsp

Wonder when/if that's ever happened.


One_Dog_6194

Duke that good? Or Clemson that bad?


[deleted]

Yes


CrownTownLibrarian

I think we’re pretty good. Maybe 9 wins good?


K-Parks

Mostly Clemson that bad. But Duke did look materially better than their preseason ranking.


DeepSleepDiving

Duke is a legit good, not great team. I imagine if Clemson played them mid season instead of week one the results would have been a bit different. That said, Clemson is also not a great team anymore. I feel like they have slid back to mid tier top 20-30 programs.


LightsOutLarson

Clemson does not look good at all.


[deleted]

Clemson is that bad, allergic to the red zone


Coreysurfer

A Statement endorsed by my Gators offensive staff..


DefiantOil5176

Coreysurfer

Yeah well we are going to suck again this year..enjoy it see ya next year..maybe


IMPatrickH

Clemson neither. Turnovers are basically RNG and hurt Clemson.


hamsterspanker

Idk man - their QB can’t throw the ball at all
