Here's why a Clemson/SU rivalry seems like it will ultimately fail: so far there seems to be way too much joviality between the two fanbases. We seem to like each other too much. You can't have a real rivalry without some actual hate.
So when it comes to the ACC, it's all Pitt and BC as far as I'm concerned, at this point. NC State could join the group though, because NC State.
I read that Beasley was coming back. I'm not sure it matters because Hickey is coming back also. He completely neutralized Beasley.
Besides, most our problems during that game were on the defensive side of the ball. The two blown coverages (1st TD to #13 and the TD by their TE #81) still haunt me. Eliminate those two plays and punch-in the two long drives in the 3rd quarter and it might have been a good game. Hopefully we play better down there. Great, great college venue.
Yeah, that 41-0 spanking still smarts.
