This game almost makes me feel better about the SC game...

except that UVA is about to score...

check that, they have scored...

still, looks like a very bad year for the ACC, if Clemson stumbles then I would seriously question whether or not we deserve a BCS bowl bid this season.

IIRC, which conferences get an automatic bcs bid is up for renegotiation soon. in all honesty we deserve to lose our bid, which would be incredibly embarrassing.

8/30/2008 7:11:48 PM

there is no one at the BC/Kent State game.

8/30/2008 7:34:52 PM

Georgia Dome is rocking... tickets were outrageous for this game


my wallet wants Clemson, but my heart says ROLL TIDE!

Yeah, sounds like a good atmosphere.. I have the clemson/bama game and the mets game up on my laptop and will switch between Mich St/Cal and Illinois/Mizzou on the TV...

8/30/2008 8:22:29 PM

thats what Bama needed a realllly long drive, keep Clemson off the field

8/30/2008 8:25:47 PM

its out. Bama ball. GD IT

8/30/2008 8:31:47 PM

hhaha, Oklahoma is covering the -50.... and its not even half time yet

8/30/2008 8:38:29 PM

^ damn


Bama came to play. Clemson hasn't.. At least not yet

8/30/2008 8:39:58 PM

ROLL TIDE!

8/30/2008 8:45:41 PM

clemson defense is getting run the fuck over

8/30/2008 8:48:16 PM

classic clemson

8/30/2008 8:48:57 PM

what's the deal with all the neutral field games this week?

Clemson is looking terrible

8/30/2008 9:13:30 PM

these SEC refs are....funny? just gave him an extra yard on that spot

8/30/2008 9:14:56 PM

and shorted them a yard there... shit evens out

8/30/2008 9:16:13 PM

Just abort this conference and put it out of it's misery...

UNC tied at HT against 1-AA. Duke tied late in the 2Q against 1-AA. The conferences "best" being DESTROYED in every facet by a mid-tier SEC team. The defending champ being outplayed and beaten by a CUSA team...

Just end it.

8/30/2008 9:18:55 PM

^ hey now! Maryland beat Delaware!... by 7

8/30/2008 9:20:19 PM

meh, it goes in cycles

but clemson's defense isn't anything

besides, who knows if clemson is really the best...just because people who have never seen them play a down ranked them that way preseason?

8/30/2008 9:20:39 PM

The big 12 has been terrible for a while, now they are looking like the second strongest conference. The ACC will come back up soon enough.

8/30/2008 9:22:16 PM

Clemson should just leave Tommy Bowden in ATL after this game.. Hell... Just lock him in the locker room at half time

[Edited on August 30, 2008 at 9:34 PM. Reason : c]

8/30/2008 9:33:53 PM

Well the age old question has finally been answered. If Clemson doesn't pull off a comeback in the second half, Tommy Bowden will be fired this season.

8/30/2008 9:35:01 PM

the game is ON!

ACC football is an embarrassment.

UNC IS THE 2ND BEST TEAM IN THE ACC

21-20. UNC

don't forget, at this moment Arkansas is losing to Western Illinois and Miss State is losing to Louisiana Tech

8/30/2008 9:54:22 PM

Arkansas will probably be the second worst SEC team this year, Miss State. was a popular upset by a lot of people (including myself), and might be the 4th best team in their DIVISION. No where near the top of the line ACC school being bullied by a middle of the road SEC team

8/30/2008 9:56:11 PM

half time might have been the best thing for Clemson, going to the locker room killed Bama's momentum


HA, well, there you go

Nice run from Spiller

8/30/2008 10:16:50 PM

well that didnt take long. 96 yard kick off return.

8/30/2008 10:16:51 PM

hahaha, do Alabama fans have all the good seats or are they just not showing the Clemson fans?

8/30/2008 10:28:59 PM

they have been slamming ncstate this whole broadcast. its gotta help the cause that everytime in the last few years ncstate has been on espn they have been embarrassed.

8/30/2008 11:02:22 PM

they haven't slammed nc state you stupid fuck.. they have mentioned nc state a couple of time based on our piss-poor performance. anyway...

so far alabama's performance tonight reminds me of the very good teams of the early 90's....

dominating defense
strong running game
solid passing game
no turnovers
few penalties
dominating time of possession

it is a little early to think they will maintain this over the course of the season, but they look to be headed in the right direction after the first game.


btw... fuck clemson and tammy bowden

8/30/2008 11:15:27 PM

Ok. So I realize the ACC has stunk it up this weekend. But does anyone think Herbstreit and Musberger's praise of the SEC and their badmouthing of the entire ACC (including teams not currently playing) has been a little excessive? Every chance they get they harp back to how terrible the ACC is in general instead of focusing on Clemson's performance here tonight. And again, I agree with everything they're saying as far as the ACC's performance thus far. But I don't think I've ever seen a conference as a whole take a verbal beating like the ACC has tonight. I'm not suggesting an overarching conspiracy, but I do find it curious that ESPN's commentators are badmouthing the ACC and sucking the SEC off the same week they signed a multi-billion dollar contract with the SEC to broadcast their games.

Were you asleep or dead when the Big East was being KILLED on the regular? Oh yeah, that conference has won 3 times the amount of BCS games the last three years as the ACC has in the BCS' existence...

8/30/2008 11:18:47 PM

well miami and vt WAS the big east

"they haven't slammed nc state you stupid fuck.."

if comparing somebody with citadel and south carolina state as a cupcake to look forward to isn't slamming then what is?

8/30/2008 11:30:07 PM

^our performance on Thurs. was no better than any FCS school

8/30/2008 11:32:23 PM

I don't think VT ever won a BCS game... and WVU and Syracuse both won more conference titles over there respective time in the conference... Miami was dominant though, but not to the degree FSU was over the ACC.

and they weren't in the conference the last three years when WVU (x2) and UL won BCS games... Actually the ACC's only BCS win came over a now ACC team (FSU over Va Tech)...

This conference rots... I think Miami can be pretty good this year though, but they won't come close to being able to run with UF...

Clemson still has the talent to compete for a big time bowl though.
