OP,

Have you considered maybe Clemson is really bad and will finish 7-5?

---

Not with THAT front four.

Cut back on the sugar, dude, it's affecting your vision.

We were the toughest game Clemson is going to have all year until the playoff. The ACC is not good this year

And we'll kick the ever-living **** out of them in the playoff!

Yes, the AGs did beat the AGs and some of those Sumlin leftovers need to go sooner than later.

This is the first time I've ever surported being happy about a loss. If there ever was such a thing, this is it .

In some regards i think the Push off palooza was the worst call. It was that obvious.

See also: UCLA, USCe, ASU...

None of those teams were just coming off a CFB playoff.

Call it BAS then. I'm reserving judgement until we actually WIN an important game FFS

I agree with the OP 100%, but my BAS is rooted deep. It's going to take some time before the overwhelming feelings of opponent, big play, induced dread are completely exorcised from my psyche.

Why do we always have to blame the refs?
Seriously we blame officiating on losses more than any fan base in the country.

Got any proof to back that **** up?

We WERE hosed on a few calls, but I haven't seen anyone saying the refs lost it.

Slept like a baby and woke up just as excited about our team as I was last night. Jimbo was definitely the right hire... I have confidence that the Ags will win now. Haven't had this level of confidence since the late 80s/early 90s.

What Myopic mean?

Had we gotten a fair shake from the refs, we win the game.

That being said, our secondary is turruble and was the top team reason for our loss.

I feel like we are seeing something special with Jimbo.

I do think good things are coming, but I do wish we'd stop blaming the refs. Clemson deserved to win - barely, and they might have done us a favor alternating QBs for a while until they finally settled on the guy that took them to the playoffs last year.

The secondary was a big part of why we lost, but I'm not really ready to say they were "terrible" based on who the opponent was. They just were not good enough for this game.

I usually hate the term " we ran out of time" but in this case it was true. We were controlling the game by the end and if given another 5 minutes, would have won.

I don't agree, we were certainly more consistent and I do think we played better overall, but since they won on essentially big plays, it's hard to say when they could have made another one.

From my point of view, this loss is a win. At this point in Jimbo's tenure, to be that close to an actual W against a team that many smart people think is no. 2 is incredible. And I have full confidence that we'll be at least as competitive against the Amabama Tide Pods. Take care of business in that game and there will be no doubt.

Well when we literally had a play that resulted in us ending up with 0 points and gives them the ball on the 25, and it was due to a BS call on the field, that tends to lead to people blaming the refs.

Champ, your usual clarity of speech in summarizing events has made this event even more infuriating for me.

Ah what could have been had the first field goal try been successful.
