Neal Brown tried the same "Dang! We're just happy they're going to allow us to be on the field with a team as big, strong and fast as Clemson" with Troy ... and the whole time his plan was to come beat our brains out. He almost did it too.

Nice try, Dino! I like you.


New Story: Babers asking for a slingshot and a rock

Yup. Not sure how sincere he is. But he is the one who, when referring to a possible upset said, "Don't count on it brother."

Dino is the one who also has said, "I hope we'll survive."

And just yesterday on the radio with Brent Axe made reference to the fact that they are a better team than Louisville just for the fact they have more 5 star players than the Cards.

When talking about on field play Dino said it may look like you can get around the edge, but the gap will close. And also that a Clemson guy might not look big but then you wind up on your back forgetting where you are.

My take on it as a Clemson fan is that Dino has no intention of walking off our field with an "L". He plans to win the game.

I think you have a good one. Hope he sticks around.

Agreed. Any coach worth his salary intends to get a W and plans accordingly.

Murphy's First Law of Combat: No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy, so it goes with football game plans.

If HCDB can get Clemson off their game plan, Syracuse can win. If Clemson is able to maintain most of their game plan, Clemson wins. Both coaches have proven themselves winners and neither will be letting in a game like this. Clemson has a serious edge in athletes and experience but has been playing down to their competition. Syracuse players are too young to know better and are scrapping with whatever they can. Anything can happen tomorrow and probably will.

Syracuse by 3 in a major upset. Afterwards, Clemson obliterates everyone else through the playoffs and wins the NC, beating Michigan and Alabama. Syracuse gets second signature win in the season and Clemson gets the wake up call it needs to go all the way. The ACC wins big!

There is only one teensy little detail in your comment that keeps me from giving it a big "like" I'll bet you know what it is too.

I think what makes most of the Syracuse fans smile is the fact that Dino is telling the truth. Clemson is a complete team in every way. They deserve to be in the national championship discussion. No gamesmanship needed ...

Yep. I don't know why they think he's being insincere. He can both be telling the truth about how good Clemson is and be putting together a plan that beats them.
