I think you may be misinterpreting. We don't get offended when trash is talked, it just ends up being bulletin board material for the team. Dabo is a cheer leader type HC, he loves this kind of stuff, sometimes to the displeasure of our fans."If" we apparantly talked trash I have no problem with it at all. Clemson fans are just using it as some North/South cultural referendum to make themselves look above it all. The difference in this game was WR and secondary. Here's to hoping that will change with the new recruits we have coming in as well as the young guys on our team coming up. Coaching was completely lopsided but that's to be expected when we have a completely raw new coaching staff. If Shafer and co are going to stick around for the long haul they will either A) get a hell of a lot better or B) we'll be facing you in the future with a new coaching staff.
It would have been easy to come out flat for this game. The coaches look for whatever they can for extra motivation, and I think the talking probably made things a lot easier in that regard.
So don't get us wrong, we're glad your players did, and we're glad they did during the game when they were down by a few TDs. Every time your defense showboated, we doubled down and reamed them.
