Message: [QUOTE="TigerSmith, post: 2710835, member: 3809"] Hi guys! Sorry to take so long to get back here. We attended the game then drove home last night. Didn't get settled until late and I was way too tired to open the computer. 1) What a game!! 2) The only comparison I saw between 2018 and 2017 was that the score was close. Last year I felt like we overlooked a capable opponent, didn't like the idea of playing on Friday night and basically slept walked through most of the game. We paid the price for our arrogance. Clemson wasn't overlooking anyone or anything this year. If you had hung on and won this game (as I fully expected at the beginning of the 4th quarter), it would have simply been a case of your best effort beating our best effort. This edition of the Orange is a very good football team. 3) I enjoyed visiting with every Syracuse fan that I ran into. We even sat beside a couple who lives in SC. They came to the game with their Clemson neighbors. Good people. I also had a great visit at our tailgate with the mother and sister of one of your players. 4) Based on the admiration and loyalty they (player's mother and sister) expressed for Dino, it's clear that he has this team locked in and willing to run through brick walls for him. You guys need to do what it takes to keep him. It's only going to get better if he stays. 5) I hope everyone who came had a good experience and a safe trip home. I think we have the foundation for a great rivalry going forward. Syracuse is a good team that is learning how to be great. I told a couple of your fans that I hope you play South Carolina in a bowl and stomp a mud hole in them. I thought about that some more and concluded that your team is probably destined for a much better bowl than they are so let that thought go. I think you should have New Year's Six in your sites. The playoff spot is still ours (I hope!!). Have a great rest of the season my friends! I'll be pulling for you. See you next year! TigerSmith aka Jared (Jake) Smith [/QUOTE]
