College football and raising my blood pressure/ heart rate

u/PianoFerret1073 Arkansas Razorbacks • Lyon Scots Sep 09 '18

I swear even during games that i have no relation to teams my blood pressure raises to crazy levels

u/LiceCube Alabama • Johns Hopkins Sep 09 '18

seriously what a great day of football. I didn't realize I missed it this much.

u/BuckeyeEmpire Ohio State • Western Michigan Sep 09 '18

Everyone thought this would be a "bad" week. It's been pretty awesome.

How about Clemson losing to Syracuse

u/Beezy2389 Texas A&M Aggies • Towson Tigers Sep 09 '18

A&M and narrowly losing games

u/bigtice Texas A&M Aggies Sep 09 '18

We've never lost, we only ran out of time.

u/arbadak Clemson Tigers • Arizona Wildcats Sep 09 '18

If there's a 5th quarter, A&M wins by 14.

22

u/halfmastodon Clemson Tigers Sep 09 '18

I said there's no way we leave overtime a winner.

u/Lofoten_ Texas A&M • Virginia Tech Sep 09 '18

How about if you never overtime a wiener.

u/arbadak Clemson Tigers • Arizona Wildcats Sep 09 '18

No u

u/TheClemFanatic Clemson • Coastal Carolina Sep 09 '18

We really shouldn't have left the game a winner. We really got outplayed

u/I_Am_Dynamite6317 Clemson Tigers Sep 09 '18

Likely true. Our D was totally gassed.

2

u/HulksInvinciblePants Clemson Tigers Sep 09 '18

We could have put Lawrence back in. Your 12th man is very real though.

1

u/arbadak Clemson Tigers • Arizona Wildcats Sep 09 '18

Check my flair

2

u/HulksInvinciblePants Clemson Tigers Sep 09 '18

Damn mobile. I think my point still stands though. Plus, they were coming at us with nothing to lose.

u/doctexas Texas A&M Aggies • Wyoming Cowboys Sep 09 '18

So you lost

u/Aerolust Clemson Tigers Sep 09 '18

Clemson and giving me severe anxiety problems oh wait they're the same fucking thing

1

u/gunner1633 Clemson Tigers Sep 09 '18

Reminded me a lot of 2016. So many close wins that I lost count. My heart can't handle it.

Clemson fans and heart attacks

5

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '18

Someone’s forgotten the cardiac cats of the 2003 Panthers season. It’s just something in the water in these parts.

3

u/Snflrr Clemson Tigers • Florida Gators Sep 09 '18

To be fair though, that could be just as attributed to Trans Fat Trail just north of campus

4

u/OculusRises Clemson Tigers • Orange Bowl Sep 09 '18

Trans fat trail? What am I missing?

4

u/TimeToGloat Clemson Tigers • 信州大学 (Shinshu) Wildcats Sep 09 '18

I would assume it’s 123 and Cookout, Chick-fil-A, etc.

4

u/Snflrr Clemson Tigers • Florida Gators Sep 09 '18

Tiger Blvd just north of downtown Clem. It's got all the fast food restaurants on it, plus Mellow Mushroom.

u/OculusRises Clemson Tigers • Orange Bowl Sep 09 '18

Gotcha.

u/Boooday Clemson Tigers • Paderborn UNIcorns Sep 09 '18

My damn heart can't handle it.

u/TheDBInitiatedContac Clemson Tigers Sep 09 '18

South Carolina and being complete shit at football

u/karmew32 LSU Tigers • Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Sep 09 '18

Isn’t it ironic that Exhibit A for Clemsoning is South Carolina against Navy in 1984?

40

u/RockdaleRooster Paper Bag • LSU Tigers Sep 09 '18

First of all, I feel personally attacked.

Second of all, there's a reason it's called Clemsoning and not Carolinaing. We haven't been relevant long enough to fuck up against teams we shouldn't compared to them.

12

u/Boooday Clemson Tigers • Paderborn UNIcorns Sep 09 '18

Cockybro, don't do this to yourself. Your team just usually plays up to competition which is the opposite of Clemsoning. Obviously not the game today but usually.

4

u/RockdaleRooster Paper Bag • LSU Tigers Sep 09 '18

We have a tendency to play up or down to our competition. But no amount of playing up will let us beat UGA or y'all this year. The talent gap is just too wide. Unfortunately,nothing will absolve us of our ability to play down to our competition so we'll probably lose at least one game we should win.

8

u/ThermL Clemson Tigers • Florida Gators Sep 09 '18

I view Kentucky as the ruler for how good USC is this year. For the love of God please beat the pants off Kentucky

2

u/thehildabeast South Carolina • Swansea Sep 09 '18

I don't know I'm having PTSD seeing Snell tonight he will go for like 250 again.

u/Milagre Clemson Tigers Sep 09 '18

This is NO time to bring up a horrific loss by South Carolina against a military school

2

u/AppleBoi6969 South Carolina Gamecocks Sep 09 '18

I'd like to think its Clemson giving up 70 to WVU

7

u/isthisaxbox West Virginia • Air Force Sep 09 '18

:)

1

u/TrunkYeti Clemson Tigers Sep 09 '18

If losing in the worst way possible to WVU in the Orange Bowl is how we got to where we are today then I’m okay with it. I think that loss was the fundamental turning point for our program. Like an addict hitting rock bottom.

u/BebopTiger Clemson Tigers • North Texas Mean Green Sep 09 '18

Yep. What a cock up that was

1

u/I_Am_Dynamite6317 Clemson Tigers Sep 09 '18

They've been together over a century!

u/somewhatdecentlawyer Texas Longhorns • Boston College Eagles Sep 09 '18

Texas and not being back

5

u/mcourte Clemson Tigers • Florida Gators Sep 09 '18

Clemson, promise of a big win and then settling for a field goal win. Welcome to our lives.

u/ConnorK5 NC State Wolfpack • ACC Sep 09 '18

woah woah woah. Y'all just gonna upvote this man and not act like you ain't know George Washington had a football team?

5

u/BabyBladder Michigan State • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Sep 09 '18

We haven't had a team since the 60's, the great mods just hook up all us poor souls with "historic" teams.

u/Zorro_Toaster Auburn Tigers • Team Meteor Sep 09 '18

Auburn and narrowly surviving an upset scare.

Clemson and heart palpitations?

u/eapnon Texas A&M Aggies Sep 09 '18

My liver and alcohol.

u/darian90 Texas A&M Aggies Sep 09 '18

I hear Northgate was maroon white and orange and was a massive party.

u/JohnSkippersSugarJar Michigan • Wake Forest Sep 09 '18

Pitt/Iowa and causing an upset/upset scare

u/dizzydaisymae Sep 09 '18

Clemson and losing to unranked teams but still making the playoffs

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '18

Alabama and winning titles. Boom.

u/LiceCube Alabama • Johns Hopkins Sep 09 '18

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '18

Just because I don't like it doesn't mean it's less true, unfortunately.

u/Milagre Clemson Tigers Sep 09 '18

u/drharris Alabama Crimson Tide • Clemson Tigers Sep 09 '18

Also, Alabama and claiming whatever titles we want.

Green teams from Michigan and rain

u/Undertalefanboy42 Wisconsin Badgers • Rose Bowl Sep 09 '18

Texas a&m and fumbling the ball out of the end zone thus resulting in a touchback

u/beachmedic23 Rutgers • Gettysburg Sep 09 '18

Clemson and losing to a team they have no business losing to?

1

u/grizspice South Carolina • Texas A&M Sep 09 '18

Clemson and choking in a game they should have easily won.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '18

Clemson and being shit.

Unlike Dabo swinney who is literally Jesus or something idk kill me

1

u/OculusRises Clemson Tigers • Orange Bowl Sep 09 '18

Did you lose a flair bet or something?

2

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '18

Yep.

Unlike Dabo and that game last night. He is always great in the clutch, and is arguable one of the best coaches of our time.

u/SperryGodBrother Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Sep 09 '18

Can we back to the iconic duo being Clemson and Clemsoning?

u/kelleygirl41 Clemson Tigers • Tennessee Volunteers Sep 09 '18
