Generally, Clemson fans are welcome here and tend to be respectable posters.  I am glad to see Clemson winning again and have grown to respect Dabo Swinney.  Glad you beat FSU, I don't hate FSU but I like to see several quality teams in the league, not just one.

I have heard many tales of the great atmosphere on game day.  I wish I could be there this year to experience the tradition in person.  Hoping to be there in 2018.

However, this one week each year, we do reserve the right to be disrespectful, obnoxious and a downright enemy fan base.  NOTE: This only lasts during game week and perhaps the following Sunday or Monday, by which time we have returned to reality (win or lose).

That said: CLEMSON IS GOING DOWN!  Your momma dresses you funny!  Swinney couldn't lead a team out of a wet paper bag!  (I think I got the important points covered).

Obviously, Clemson should win on paper.  Whether the emotional toll on the players following the FSU game will have an effect cannot really be measured until game time.  The D is there and the O is there, the tool box is full for Swinney and Co.

Where Syracuse has an advantage is in that this is a new offense and gives problems to many defenses.  If QB Dungey is protected well enough to get off passes, he can be dangerous.  The Syracuse D is coming on, but they will have to stop a proven offense without many flaws.

I do expect a good game.  Clemson has been playing down to their competition and Syracuse has been improving.  The kids did pull off the VATech upset, so we got that going for us.
