Clemson STILL Sucks, 17-15

Disclaimer: I don't like Clemson, and never have. I've been there, met the locals (nice people) and rooted for them against non-conference teams. Something stuck in my head after that whuppin' that we took earlier this year.

After Reggie Ball declared that we would "not lose again" post-FSU heartbreaker in his freshman wisdom, the Tigers took it to heart and pounded us. Bad idea, Reggie. Immediately after the game, one of the Tiger players said that they were insulted by Ball's comment and that "Tech thought they were the second best team in the conference." Another bad idea.

I'll help you with the math, Tiger fan. After tonight's loss to the overrated Wolfpack, the records are as follows:

Georgia Tech 4-3, 2-2
Clemson 4-3, 2-2

Call me crazy, but sitting tied with GT for fourth place behind UVA, Maryland, and FSU probably doesn't make many people view Clemson as the second best team in the ACC. I say sign the Tigers up for that Continental Bowl before their stock drops further and send the Jackets to Orlando to enjoy Tangerines! Besides that, the covered wagon ride to Charlotte is a lot easier on the Clemson faithful than Central Florida...and they DON'T have to travel through Atlanta to get there.

Mark my words--Tech may not end up in the top tier of the conference when all is said and done, but they'll finish with a better ACC record than Clemson. And we'll see you next year with a sophomore QB and experienced O-line [insert bitterness here].
