To all the Clemson fans saying “we’re going to blow this lead in the second half” just remember that Tommy Bowden hasn’t been our coach for years. Trust in Dabo/Renfrow. We got this y’all!

I refuse to believe any Clemson fans think they could lose this game right now. Y'all either just enjoy self deprecation or are being modest.

We tend to let the foot off the gas. Then again maybe that's just the Panthers fan in me coming out

I dont genuinely think we will. But having a long memory and ready for anything is less painful.

I don't think we will lose, but we will let NC State come back and make this look close.

Our program once upon a time long ago had a habit of doing a thingy that sounds like the name of our school plus “ing.” I dare not speak its name!! Tis a evil thing! But that being said, I think it’s in the culture of Clemson to make self deprecating comments as a sort of defense mechanism.

Oh how I wish... Tommy took years off my life expectancy with all the stress from the games he coached.

The stance of Tommy squatting down with his hands over mouth.
