Georgia Tech at Atlanta, 9/20/03

Holy Purple Jerseys, Batman!!! Yow!!! Coming out in purple jerseys for the first time since the debacle in Orlando in 1992, the Tigers jumped on Tech with their new-found identity–Air Clemson!–and kept at it for a 39-3 victory. (more…)

Update

I may have sold the Tigers and MTSU short, talking about how we ought to have been able to blow them out. The next week, the Blue Raiders took 3-0 Missouri into OT to lose 41-40. That is not to say Missouri is a power house, but they are ranked in the Top 25 this week. So maybe MTSU has better talent and coaching than I gave them credit for. Maybe the Tigers are really starting to gel. Still a long way to go.

Charlie Whitehurst started his eighth game for the Tigers with a game plan designed to take advantage of his skills and those of his receivers. Air Clemson! (more…)

Furman at Clemson, 9/6/03

Wanted a win, got a win. But the way I feel about the 28-17 win over 1AA Furman sure doesn’t feel like a win. Some things were nice. The crowd was good and into the game more than I would have thought. (more…)

Why We Love(d) Danny

The obvious things: the chewing tobacco, the drawl, the farm, the cap, the “aw shucks.” Face it, for all our objections to being called the “cow college,” that was our roots. And Danny played to it wonderfully. (more…)

Georgia at Clemson, 8/30/03

Well, the Tigers lost 30-0 in a pitiful effort. Not to take anything away from Georgia, they’re a good team. My concern is that after 5 years under Bowden, the Tigers are not a good team, maybe not even an improved team. It’s not just Bowden’s fault. Robinson let our facilities slide to the point that recruiting suffered. We are no longer a program that kids seek to get in to, as we were in the 80s. We got some good receivers because of the offense Bowden ran the first two years. We need some hosses to go with the receivers. I’ll support the Tigers regardless of who the coach is, but I want to see improvement. I don’t want to go to the Duke game wondering if we can beat Duke. I want to go to the FSU game believing we can compete with them. We’re a long way from that.
