Clemson Board Of Trustees got more than it asked for
Sep 19, 2017, 1:06 PM
|
|
As you recall one of the Clemson Trustees asked Dabo during his interview if he could make Clemson like Michigan or Alabama, seen as elite programs. He said that instead he wanted everyone to want to be like Clemson.
Well folks I think Dabo has achieved another goal. I have seen so many posts on boards recently where they essentially are saying they wish they were like Clemson. Even the national media are beginning to realize we have cracked the code on Elite.
I for one am thankful and gladly attribute much of our success to Dabo being Dabo.

Hermann and Meyer visited the year after losing to us in the Orange Bowl . That's a classic model being ogled by the old girls they've replaced .

You are missing the point. Some of you guys never stop talking about being considered elite and a'blueblood'. They only give trophies on a season basis and a program doesn't have to be considered elite to win it all.

Clemson isn't considered "elite." Clemson IS elite because we win trophies on an annual basis. Major bowl games, conference titles, a national title. Every year.

You obviously don't understand what 'every' means. Clemson has 1 natty since 1981 and 3 ACC titles since early 90s. That's not 'every' year, is it? I get you are a SuperFan but you obviously get carried away.

Elite means you consistently win double digit games, recruit at a high level, win championships, win multiple major bowls and consistently finish high in the final rankings for a period of at least 3-5 years. Sorry coot but Clemson can check off all the boxes. Only about three other schools can currently be considered elite.

Perhaps read what he wrote, coot. He said they win trophies every year. In each of the last six years they either won the conference, a bowl game (mostly major bowls), or National Championships. In the seventh year they are on pace to play for another National Championship.

Another redneck sidewalk fan calling me, a Clemson alumni, a 'coot' because I said past trophies don't mean anything this season. Teams don't get a trophy this year for winning a trophy in past seasons.
Let me guess your response "You coot'.

LOL I'm from New Jersey, so no I'm not a redneck you DB coot. Also you said NOTHING about past trophies meaning anything this season. You questioned the guy on his premise that Clemson is elite because they win a conference, bowl, or national championship trophy every year. Your retort that Clemson has only won a single national championship and 3 conference titles is an obvious sign that not only are you a coot troll, but your not even good at trolling. Is there anything that you coots do well? Pump gas? Can you even handle that?

I have a BS and Masters from Clemson you hillbilly coot.
When calling out rednecks in the future perhaps reference this map. Notice that NJ ranks 50th in redneck population. Now get back to your single wide and practice your whittling and banjo playing before you go back to work for the early shift at the gas station.

Year. He said we, as in Clemson, win trophies every year, which we do. I know your coots have already given up on winning anything 6 games into the season again, but why come on here and spew that nitpicking, trolling bs? Best of luck winning the worst conference half in the FBS.

I'm saying programs don't get trophies for being elite. I think MSU could win the natty this year and they aren't considered elite. The best teams change from season to season.
I also don't understand why you feel the need to repeat slogans like 'best is the standard'. lol

So beating down LSU is proof that they can win the natty? If there is a chance they can get to the playoffs, then they can win it all.
Do you think there are any good teams in the country other than Clemson and I assume Alabama?

My point is you guys don't seem to actually talk about football games, it is just this constant bragging about CLemson 'being elite'. I remember SC fans being the same way, and the dumb redneck LSU, AUburn, Florida, UGA fans on SEC rant always talking about how they elite even though they been mediocre in recent years.

So if Clemson struggles in future years, is it no longer elite? Let's say it has a great season, a bad season, a mediocre season the next 3 seasons. Is it elite? Or does it have great seasons, bad seasons, and mediocre seasons?

Ok so if CLemson loses to Va tech and some other teams this year, how will you feel about all your posts about Clemson is elite? Again, you are focused on past seasons. DOesn't have anything to do with this season.

Clemson is elite, so it won't do what you're scenario presents.
Therefore, your question is invalid.
Edit: Also, by being elite over the recent years that has greatly helped our coaches to recruit higher talent (which is continuing this year) which increases the probability of successful seasons moving forward.
^^That is why people want their teams to be elite.

I agree that Clemson has it going right now but do you really think Clemson is never going to have mediocre and bad seasons again? lol That's my point, every program has up and down periods so there is no point is labeling programs elite.

No, teams won't always have elite seasons, however, right now we are at the elite level. Florida was elite 10 years ago, but they've went down hill after a coach left. LSU was sort of elite back in the day when they had a monstrous defense.
Those programs sustained that success over a period of time that they were elite. We are currently at a period of time where we are an elite program. How long will the period last? No one knows, but I've got a pretty good feeling that as long as Dabo is our coach we will have something special here.
Another aspect that hasn't been mentioned: facilities. Right now we have elite level facilities, one of the tops in the nation. That also has helped in getting us where we are today. With that added in are you able to call Clemson elite as of right now?

Being an elite program plays into every season. Elite programs get elite players and elite facilities....again, it's not a hard concept to understand.
I don't think we'll lose this year. And the only legit chance of that happening would be in the playoffs to another great team.
Also, your lack of reading comprehension is shining bright yet again....feel free to re-read my previous post which answers your question...

It is spelled 'Dear'. Deer refers to the animal. Pretty sure a Clemson grad can spell dear correctly. Crazy how often I see that word misspelled on this website.

Everybody has typos on forums like this but it is obvious numerous people on this forum don't know how to spell dear. That's not a typo. He claimed he went to Clemson and claims that I did not, despite no evidence of that.
It annoys me when fans of Alabama, LSU and other programs claim their program is elite. I remember how annoyed it made when 'coot' fans claimed their program was elite and how their program 'reloads' after losing good players. When I see people bragging about how elite their program is, I want to see that program lose games. Obviously that becomes a problem when it is Clemson fans bragging about my team. lol

You're correct, it was not a typo. He intentionally spelled deer. I don't think you've been on here long enough to understand that, but take things with a grade of slaw so you don't get land blasted.

Alabama is considered the Super BlueBlood and little ol Clemson beat them last year. So being the no. 1 blueblood didn't win Bama the game so what is the point in calling them a blueblood.

Did they win the year before? Are they ranked #1 now? Do they have yet another strong recruiting class coming in, helped by their program's status no doubt?

What? Who was saying that last year?
Because the majority of people were predicting a rematch between us and Bama to begin the year.
It honestly sounds like you're just arguing for arguments sake. Elite teams win championships. "Elite" may not carry over from season to season for most teams, but there aren't wild card teams that come out of no where to win. Look at the teams that have won in the playoff era so far: Ohio State, Alabama, and Clemson.
Two of those three teams are squarely on track to get back to the playoffs and if Ohio State beats Penn State and Michigan this year, wins the B1G then you can bet they will be back in. Hell, they got in last year because they were thought to be "elite" by the majority of the country.
You're bringing a knife to a gun fight on this one.

My opinions are based on what happens each week. Most seasons, dominating LSU like that would mean MSU is at least a darkhorse contender. Nobody could have predicted MSU would get blown out two weeks in a row after that.

Where did I say anything about the ls-who/BAMA game this year? I’m referring to this idiotic statement you made and then doubled down on.

You jumped on that MSU bandwagon. Try to keep up....
Oh and I don’t brown nose BAMA. I’ve been a BAMA fan since I was 3. That’s been stated on here many times....

YOu are so dumb. I was talking about the Alabama LSU title game season a few years ago, not this season.
I didn't jump on any bandwagon. I said MSU looks pretty good after the LSU beatdown.
I'd be ok if you just stuck with Alabama and checked out of the CLemson fanbase. You are an obnoxious homer.

As far as being a Clemson fan is concerned....I’m not just a fan, I’m an alum. I’ve got a vested interest in our fine university, do you? Based on what I’ve seen on here, I highly doubt it.
And BTW.....Clemson is “Elite” and keeps proving that every week.

Clemson hasn't been the best team from season to season across the history of football, neither has Alabama orother programs you call elite. It changes from season to season.
I believe Pitt has like 5 trophies. G Tech has won at least won title.

Says the guy who wants to win trophies but not if we have to build nice facilities and if the media has to talk nice about us.
You also said, and I quote, "It takes the magic away from it." In no way shape or form did us building the facilities take away from the night we won the National Championship.
I bet you want a really nice car, but don't want to pay for it as well right? It would take the magic away?

Well right now we are an elite program and we got a trophy last season, so, yeah?
With the start of the playoff format elite teams are invited to the playoffs more often than not as well.
The payoff of being an elite program is: more spotlight on your team so more recruits see, more talk in the national media so more recruits see, and an increased brand so that our university flourishes (and more recruits see).
Now that I've answered that, why, as a Clemson fan, are you so against us being considered elite?

But I would say we are elite, absolutely.
I think to be a blue blood you have to have a few decades of sustained, elite success with a few championships and you can be considered a blue blood.
If we keep ourselves at this level for another 6-8 years and then after Dabo follow up with another consistent winner 20+ years from now the way Bama, OSU, FSU,USC, Notre Dame, etc have, I would say we are a blue blood.

The good thing about playoffs is it makes it harder to win titles based on 'elite' status. For example, Bama shouldn't have made playoffs that year after losing to LSU and losing their division, but they were put in because Bama is 'elite'.

It helps with recruiting vs being a flash in the pan success then falling off the face of the earth...
In other words, you may not win trophies but you may win the commitment of a highly touted recruit. They in turn win you titles.

I assume you are accusing me of being a 'coot' because I think it is silly to talk about a program being elite and a 'blueblood'. I remember many of the 'coot' fans talking the same way a few years ago and their program has struggled since then.
A lot of the programs referred to as bluebloods have struggled in recent years.

why be a fan at all if you don't want to talk about your team. Even exaggerate about it. Some of us are just pointing out that statements of other team wanting to model after Clemson may be the basis of an "elite" program.

Is it worth mentioning the "Palmetto Bowl?" Seems pretty insignificant, but theres a streak of wins there too.. That said, in all fairness, we won't play The Citadel til later this year.

Nobody is denying all of that is good. MY point is Clemson won't get a trophy for it. Teams only win trophies based on seasons, so why do you guys always talk about Clemson being 'elite'.
What if Clemson struggles and loses some games this year? Is the program still elite?

I associate trophies with titles. You said Clemson wins trophies every year and obviously it has lost bowl games and not won conference titles and natties in many seasons.

The point is you don't need a trophy for it. But it will definitely help bring in more trophies. I don't get why you are so butt hurt that we enjoy calling Clemson Football an Elite Program which right now it is and isn't expected to change in the foreseeable future. It brings bragging rights. It helps with recruiting and national recognition and respect. Why wouldn't we want these things in our team? I do think you are arguing for arguments sake so that's probably why so many have tagged you as a coot in this thread. Because you are squaking like one. I don't get what your whining about. Because Clemson doesn't get a trophy for being considered and elite program so we shouldn't label us as that? That sounds like pretty stupid logic. There are many facts and achievements in this world that don't warrant a trophy. Doesn't mean you shouldn't strive to achieve it. Dabo has built an elite program and everyone knows it. It brings us pride to support it. Even logical coots (oxymoron haha) can see it so why are you so hellbent on avoiding the label?

You sound obnoxious constantly bragging about Clemson being elite.
I would say that you and other homers are whining because I"m trying to understand why you do this constant bragging about CLemson being elite because it doesn't win games or natties.

It's called being a fan. You should try it sometime. What else are fans supposed to do other than watch the game. Bragging about our team is part of being a fan. How do you not understand that and understand why then, we (like EVERYONE else) calls Clemson an elite program? What are you still not understanding?

You can be a fan without constantly chanting 'Clemson is elite, Clemson is elite'. That is just homer fanboyism.

You act like every Clemson fan just walks around all the time saying it or writing it which is far from the case. But anytime our program is compared to others it will always come up. The media does it every time. So do other coaches and fans of other programs. So why is it okay for them to do it but unacceptable when a fan of Clemson does it. Clemson is an elite program right now. It's a fact. Not because I say or believe but because everyone says and believes it. Since when does calling a duck a duck become an issue?

To add on to your valid points, it's not only our fans calling Clemson elite. It's the national media, major players in the college football game, etc.
When Etienne scored on Saturday night Kirk Herbstreit literally said "they have an embarrassment of riches, an embarrassment." The main commentator in the sport was/does brag on Clemson on the regular.
It goes beyond thinking we are elite. Everyone knows we are, this team knows they are, and recruits coming in want to continue to be an elite program.

My point is it seems like some of you care more about sports media adulation and other fanbase praise of Clemson than just watching Clemson football and who is next on Clemson's schedule.

Where in the hell are you getting that from? Also, we are playing BC next. We are going to run them off the #### field. The team will be focused on BC, and us as fans can talk about the programs status, etc.

Well people praising Clemson on TV gets in potential recruits ears. Understand that this is all interconnected.
We vastly improved our facilities, a few more recruits looked at Clemson. We won the ACC in 2011, more recruits saw us. We beat LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and more recruits saw Clemson. We had an elite team and more recruits saw Clemson.
If you want us to continue to win games and titles then you are essentially saying you want us to remain elite.
And for the record, no one goes around beating their chests saying we are elite all the time. That would be ridiculous.

lol you guys are bragging all the time. It is annoying me even though I'm a clemson fan.
Part of it is bragging about facilities. It makes me sick how much universities spend to lure recruits. We treat these atheletes like they are princes. The recruiting rules are weird because it is illegal for a coach to give a recruit a ride somewhere or a 5 dollar meal at Mcdonalds but it isn't illegal to build fancy facilities to entice recruits
When you learn that Clemson success and other 'elite' programs success have resulted from spending money on fancy facilities, that takes some of the magic away.

Ok, I'm done. You lost me there.
How about you log off Tigernet and live in you're own little bubble where you can be happy.
"I want Clemson to win games and trophies, but not if we have to build facilities."
First off it's not "illegal" for a coach to give a recruit a ride, it's a violation of the rules. Secondly, the reason it's not "illegal" (a violation) for a team to build fancy facilities is because every recruit that signs has access. So in this next class a 3* will have the same benefit from it as Trevor Lawrence will. Make sense?
Anyways, I'm done with this. Your logic is troubling.

It says a lot about you that you think my point was that it is illegal in a law sense, not illegal in a rules sense.
Fancy facilities is a type of bribe and it does make it difficult for universities with less money or less willing to thrown tons of money at football to win.

A lesson you should probably learn, life isn't fair. Some people are successful and some aren't, just the way it is.
You ever consider that some schools don't care about football? For instance, Duke's facilities are trash, however, they have good basketball facilities and are an elite (oops) basketball program.
Kansas, may be the worst team in the country, but they've got better basketball facilities and team than we do but you aren't complaining about that.
A type of bribe, life isn't fair, gtfo of here with that lol.

Duke's basketball arena actually is horrible. lol
If schools didn't care about football, they wouldn't spend any money on it and wouldn't have a program.
I'd think you and others would complain if Clemson didn't have the money to 'bribe' good players to come to Clemson. lol
My point was about you bragging about faciliites at Clemson and I think it is true that it takes the magic away from college football when it becomes about who has the better facilities. lol You are so much of a homer fanboy that you can't talk about football without your poms poms.

You sir, are a complete and utter idiot.
Duke's arena obviously isn't horrible to get talent to come in and play there in one of the mecca's of college basketball with an incredible atmosphere. Also, the arena isn't the only part of their facilities.
I did not "brag" about the facilities. I simply stated that we had elite facilities that entice elite recruits to come to Clemson because that's how college football works. That is called a true statement, nothing more and nothing less.
People did complain when we didn't have the facilities to compete with the elite programs and guess what, we ponied up the money and now we are elite.
We aren't "bribing" good players to come to Clemson. We are showing them what we have and if works out then great and if it doesn't then we will get another top prospect that wants to come to Clemson.
Now note, just because we are an elite program (you just hate that it's true don't you?) does not mean that we will win the national championship, the ACC, hell even our division every year because there are other elite programs. However, on those special years when it all comes together and we do win other titles, which I firmly believe we will due to the factors discussed, you can bet your little snowflake ### that it will be magical for everyone else except for you.

But no one is bragging. Saying we are elite is not bragging (or being obnoxious as you say as well), and you simply cannot brag to another Clemson fan.
"Hey man, my team is better than yours. Your team sucks!"
See, doesn't work, doesn't make sense, much like your posts.

To me the best thing about SC struggling the past few years is all the chestpuffing many of their fans did about their program being elite and 'reloading' when they lose good players. This is what makes sports fun, things can change fast.

Hillbilly coot,
What is so hard to understand that being elite doesn't win you trophies, winning trophies makes you ELITE. It's no surprise that there is a handful of teams that are in contention just about every year. They may have a down year every now and then but the ELITE programs reload and are not down for long.

Recruits like Trevor Lawrence, Xavier Thomas, Tee Higgins, Amari Rodgers, etc are the trophies. Being recognized as an elite program definitely has many perks to it. Dabo himself has been very open about his desire to make us an elite program, and keep that status for a long time.

Label it elite, don't label it elite. I don't care.
The OP was referring to Dabo's comment and vision in which he wanted to build a program and culture that exceeded current and historical models. He was not satisfied with being like other traditional blueblood programs, he desired more. I'm 100% aligned with that....call it what you want to. The results don't lie.
A loss or two isn't going to change that. That's what's different.

I don't think most Clemson alumni talk about the 'coot's 24-7 like you do. You probably can name the height, weight, hometown, etc every player on the 'coot' roster because you have no life and are obsessed with one program out of several that Clemson plays every year.
I don't think you went to Clemson. I think Clemson is your NFL team.

I'm not a fan of MSU. I simply said they looked good against LSU, and that's not something anybody disagreed with that weekend, even a redneck like you.
You are an Alabama fanboy and got butthurt that I said MSU might have a shot at winning that division and my opinion that Bama could lose two games this season and not make the playoffs.

I also point out the season isn't over with and Alabama hasn't played anybody.
It is funny that you act like MSU sucks simply because they lost bad at UGA and at Auburn, two teams with top 5 defenses and very good RBs this year.

So you do admit that you’re a bandwagon fan.....
I grew up going to BAMA games due to family member playing there. I’ve stuck with them through the good and bad. Not a bandwagon fan like yourself.
GO TIGERS and ROLL TIDE!!!!
And before you ask the stupid question....Yes, I pull for Clemson against BAMA

It is obvious you are a Bama bandwagon fanboy because you always talking about "elite programs' which is Bama fanboy thing to do. They always talking about their 'tradition' and bragging about how many natties Bama has won, etc.

Educated people don't use redneck slang like 'coot'. It is also similar to the racial epithet 'coon' which makes it even more redneck. lol

I dont' want people to think I'm a racist so I don't call a team with majority of black players 'coots' given it sounds similar to coon.

Clemson probably has lost some good black recruits because of redneck fans using the word 'coot'. Other teams already do negative recruiting against Clemson using the fact Tillman Hall was named after a racist who bragged about killing black people.

Deer ClemVegas, What exactly is your problem? I guess you enjoy thinking you're a bad ### on this Clemson board. I'm sure (by your Tiger Pulse) you'd be more familiar with the jealous buffoons over at FGF. If you don't have something positive to say on Tigernet do your self a favor and just keep it to yourself.*

And doing in the right way means everything to me as an alum. We want our athletic programs to directly reflect the character and charisma of Clemson University first and foremost.
We recruit good people, they do well in class, stay out of trouble, and graduate on time. I have long since said I'd rather be a perennial 8-4 team with great character than a team that wins 14-15 games every season and is nothing but thugs and criminals. Luckily we don't have to choose one or the other.

One bad egg amongst a whole bunch of great ones. Chad Kelly was a punk. Provide me with a link to a Clemson drug-related suspension in the last 3-4 years and I'll listen. You will probably send me a link to Sammy Watkin's arrest, so save your time.

I think it is pretty improbable that every player Dabo recruits is a choir boy. It isn't that he is willing to recruit anybody but that it is not possible to know what young people will do once they get on campus.

NCTiger75--- WOW !!!! Look how your post has been hijacked by someone who can't comprehend the meaning of an elite program, in this particular case, football. Clemson, by one poster's definition. is not an elite program because we may even lose a game this year. Apparently, perfection defines an elite program, and if that be the case, over the entire course of collegiate football, there have been fewer elite programs than I had been led to believe. I suppose we can consider Clemson semi-elite since we are currently undefeated after three games. LOL

Dabo is great at selling Clemson. Have you ever heard Dabo say 'coot'? If saying coot helped recruiting, Dabo would be saying every time in front of the camera.
Y'all need to take one for the team and stop saying coot. You might have to get some cognitive behavorial therapy to recondition your brain to break your habit.
You better hope some of these liberal Democrats don't see you calling teams with most black players 'coots' because they will be triggered and the media will be covering it 24-7. Protests will break out and next thing you know, Clemson football could go down like Mizzou. You kidding yourself if you think this can't happen.

If I ran a Clemson website, I would insta-ban any person who said coot on here. I wouldn't be surprised if the people who say coot are actually gamecock fans doing sabotage, given how often SC fans bring up Tillman and the banana incident.
I just hope ESPN never looks at the comments about 'coots' on this forum. Clemson might get banned from Gameday.

People have been fired for using the word 'niggardly' which means stingy, not generous, because it sounds similar to the n word.
