Good points from Andrea Adelson

All eyes are squarely focused on Oct. 19, when Florida State travels to Clemson in what everybody anticipates will be another battle between unbeaten top 10 teams with national championship aspirations.

But coaches always warn it is dangerous to look ahead. In this case, that mantra fits. The clichéd trap week is here, for both programs. Eighth-ranked Florida State must face an unbeaten Maryland team on Saturday in Tallahassee, while No. 3 Clemson travels to play its first game in the Carrier Dome against improving Syracuse.

and the rest of the story...

"West Virginia came in here a year ago,” he said then. “They were talking. We locked them in the dome and beat the hell out of them. Louisville this year when we played the unstoppable team and (we) didn't have a chance in hell to play against that team and our kids got after it and the crowd was rumbling in that Dome."

I sure would feel better about our chances if we still had Alec Lemon and Shamarko Thomas.

I know that means jack, because of course you're going to lose people. But WR and secondary are the two spots where we are hurting the most right now. Those two sure would help.

The title of this post is an oxymoron. I do love that SS continues saying lock up in the Dome. That cracks me up whenever I read it.

I hope they do it this week though the smokers are going to be pissed.

BS...

If you delve into the other ACC schools only a couple stand out.

"Coaches are not nearly as versed in what Syracuse likes to do as they are with all the other ACC teams on their schedules."

Ha, this couldn't be more true. I think our own coaches are still working on that, to a degree.

I'd like it a whole lot if we played this clip before every game, finished off by a loud "locking" sound after Chazz delivers the signature line of this scene...

And the only really decent team Clemson has played is Georgia.

and they beat georgia. the two decent schools on our schedule beat us.

Yes they did, but I was responding more to Marks' statement about the ACC conference overall. Wake, State, Carolina and Duke are not setting North Carolina on fire...at least not in FB.
