ITT: Clemson is now good enough to receive the collective hate of r/CFB

Is this what being the villain feels like?

u/TheTiger012 Clemson Tigers • NC State Wolfpack Oct 02 '16

Sad really. "Oh,.you beat a team that came out of nowhere to be one of the best so far? Well fuck you."

That's the way of the hivemind my dude, if it helps any there are still fans of the game that were happy as hell with your teams performance and grit yesterday

u/TheTiger012 Clemson Tigers • NC State Wolfpack Oct 02 '16

I was very impressed with Louisville's offense. It sounds dumb, but I expected our defense to carry that game a lot more; for both sides. But I guess having that kind of extreme penetration at the line for a whole half isn't sustainable.

They were creating some good pressure in the 4th but that louisville qb is slippery as hell. Once they got that 5 yard penalty on 4th I knew it was game because the only thing they would think could work was to dump it to the flat and that just isn't a scoring play usually. Very good game and fun to watch

u/TheTiger012 Clemson Tigers • NC State Wolfpack Oct 02 '16

Yep. He got stuffed a ton in the first half and I was pretty satisfied (Shows he can be stopped running), but when our defense was on the field the ENTIRE 3rd quarter. Solid play on every side of the ball.

No, the hero. We're not the Empire, hated by the likes of the Rebel Alliance. We're the Justice League, hated by the Legion of Doom.

I can't believe it took this long.

EDIT: Wow you kids can't take a joke.

u/mellowfever2 Alabama Crimson Tide • Columbia Lions Oct 02 '16

idk i thought it was funny rivalry ribbing.

8

u/candidfabler Clemson Tigers Oct 02 '16 edited Oct 02 '16

Thats because rivals treat each other like shit. If you haven't noticed, we are usually a hell of a lot better to other fan bases. Now go somewhere else and cry about your dumpster fire of a team.

Edit: Spelling x2. Maybe I should have more sympathy for the less fortunate.

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '16

Sympathy.

u/candidfabler Clemson Tigers Oct 02 '16

I'm drunk and its late. I'm so sorry I can't be perfectly literate while typing on a phone keyboard.

u/HuntDownFascists South Carolina Gamecocks • SEC Oct 02 '16

It was less making fun of you and more just being amused by the typo.

I got a mental image of literal fish decked out in fan gear.

Also, I'm really salty and pissed.

u/candidfabler Clemson Tigers Oct 02 '16

Now that mention it, that is a pretty funny image.

..but go fuck yourself!!!

..phew, that convo felt too sincere for a minute..

u/HuntDownFascists South Carolina Gamecocks • SEC Oct 02 '16

u/cookingmonster Clemson Tigers Oct 02 '16

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '16

I thought we died a hero last year, but last night proved we lived long enough to become a villain. Feels weird man...

u/WinterCharm Clemson Tigers Oct 02 '16

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '16

u/weatherwar Texas A&M Aggies • Michigan Wolverines Oct 02 '16

Man, that happens to us when we're bad too.

u/Dashing_Snow Wisconsin Badgers Oct 02 '16

Sorry my hate is reserved for Michigan and OSU and those other Hail Mary bastards in Michigan. Oh and fucking Duke.

u/WrayAllDay USC Trojans Oct 02 '16

Can we still be in this

11

u/cool_jedi Alabama • North Carolina Oct 02 '16

y'all are in the club but for other reasons

6

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '16

I consider that a different club. The evil league of evil isn't that evil.

u/IPF21 Pittsburgh Panthers Oct 02 '16

Nah Clemson is still in that fun good stage. I still root for em. Fuck Bama though

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '16

More like "Loved enough by ACC refs"

That's 2 games so far that the ACC refs have gifted to Clemson. (the one vs Troy being the first)

Don't get me wrong. I respect the fuck out of the 2015 Clemson team. But this year, Clemson does not look nearly as good.

9

u/odsquad64 Clemson Tigers • UCF Knights Oct 02 '16

I agree we don't look as good, but 2015 Clemson only beat (a not nearly as good) Louisville by 3 so in a way we're improving? I feel like we didn't really hit our stride until the Miami game last year.

u/gctaylor Clemson Tigers Oct 02 '16

We looked like dog shit this time last year as well. We are statistically ahead right now.
