My work schedule is not conducive to being a Gamecock football fan. When I drove up, I lost the radio signal for the broadcast at about kickoff time, and had another 30 or so minutes to go. Couldn't watch much.
But a slight benefit is a Spartanburg station carries Clemson and it comes in the whole way, almost.
Nice on a night like tonight.
Was also listening after week one, when Will Merritt said, after beating the mighty Auburn Tigers, "I don't want to get too far ahead of myself, but we are maybe looking at a team that can go 15-0."
After week one. After Auburn.
Anyway, tonight, the game ended, and it took me like 20 minutes at least to get to the car and put it on.
And Yanity said they were waiting for Dabo.
So they chit chat, said despite the result, there were still some good things to talk about. Talk about some. Will says there so many good things, probably 50 plays to talk about. Then says, unfortunately FSU had 60 plays to brag about. Nice.
So Yanity says they are still waiting for Dabo.
Chit chat some more.
Merritt says the good things were so good that if you took away a couple of stalled drives and a couple of mistakes, Clemson "certainly" could have won this game. But, he says, unfortunately that is all "locked in time."
So, I think, Clemson would have won if they had only had a time machine. Poor Clemson.
Yanity says again that they are waiting for Dabo.
There is so much to report on what they said, but, unlike Godot, Dabo finally shows.
Don't know if this was during the interview or not, but another GREAT point they made was that, let's not forget FSU is a great team. They have threats at every position. Just like Clemson, they have awesome threats at EVERY position.
Will and Pete say hat Clemson actually got a taste of what they have been handing out (against Furman, Ball State and suck-ass Auburn) to others. And I think about that for a second and realize what they are REALLY saying. They are saying it is almost like Clemson played itself. And what a shame the other Clemson was SO good that it beat the real Clemson.
It is worth the listen. I recommend buying one, if you have the means. so choice.
So Dabo is devastated, and says he has told the team the "season starts next week." Can they win the ACC only playing seven games?
A big key is to put the loss behind them and "not let the loss beat you twice."
Dabo leaves, they pivot to player interviews and Tajh and the senior lineman they interviewed both talk, one at length, about not letting the loss beat you twice.
So guys. ...
If Clemson loses again, I'm waiting for Dabo.
