If you combine politics with football

and be reasonable, Clemson is being treated by espn in a less serious way than Pres. Trump is being treated by the Democrats. In like reasons, because we beat their beloved Alabama and Trump beat the Demo"s beloved Hillary..true.

Can someone explain to me why Alabama would be the beloved team of the media all over the country by both the coaches poll, and AP writers? You have coaches and media from teams not just in SEC country, but for the ACC territory, Big 10, Big 12, PAC 12, etc... and they all just decide they adore Bama to the point of wanting revenge on the team that beat them?
Then part of that revenge is voting Clemson #1 in the preseason and keeping Clemson there up until they had a 1 point win over an unranked team? Part of that revenge was writing countless stories in the offseason about the dynasty Dabo has built, about how amazing or QB is, and how that QB was the favorite to win the Heisman this year?

It's all part of the deep state. This anto Clemson bias extends to the highest parts of government and the illuminati.

I think the hate towards Clemson is way overblown and other top programs get it as well. It's lonely at the top. People either loved or hated Tiger Woods, MJ, Kobe, now Lebron, the Patriots, Alabama....Clemson is joining an elite list but we have 8-4 fans.
That said I think the SEC teams as a whole get a little too much love and that's annoying. The ACC quietly has a winning record head to head in the CFP era against them and the record going back a decade is pretty close.

I never hated Tiger Woods. I hated COVERAGE of Tiger Woods. The breathless anticipation of every swing he made by the media, the endless coverage of him anywhere on the course...they'd show us Woods on the practice putting green after he's done for the day and way out of contention while other golfers were on the course making their runs. I've got nothing against Alabama or the SEC, but the fawning coverage is just cloying.
I mean, really? Does Vanderbilt have SEC speed? When Mizzou was losing to Wyoming, was anyone telling us how bad the SEC was? When the SEC East was one big dumpster fire outside of Georgia (who simply was not even all that then) for several years (Florida guys were blocking each other, for pete's sake!) did the coverage of the SEC-SEC-SEC change one tiny whit, no! It did not.
I believe before this season start the ACC was actually 28-26 vs the SEC over the last 5 years, and even as bad as the ACC was last year, the ACC went 4-6 against the SEC (us beating A&M, SCAR, and Bama helped that cause). It wasn't that long ago that all 4 ACC/SEC rivalries wen the ACC's way. But the COVERAGE (narrative) never wavered.

True, but even espn can't vote, or impeach Clemson out of the playoffs. Only Clemson can keep Clemson from failing to make at least a run for another Championship.

Key difference....
When people of think of Clemson they think of class and integrity.....
When they think of Trump they think of a horse's ###.

I think you mean people like you......thank God I am not like you who hates somebody so bad you would believe any BS story about this guy who is more interested in protecting our legal citizens of this country instead of putting the rights of illegal aliens first.....buy the way I am not against immigrants just the illegal ones.....in my opinion if you come here illegally you should have NO rights when you cross our borders .....you come here legally or you stay the crap out of our country.......Keep America Great......Go Tigers!!!!!

Dabo's treatment of Booth was akin to Trump's treatment of immigrants at the border.

Combining politics with anything is like taking a great poop and then forgetting to wipe .

Lol the two have nothing to do with each other at all. This is as bad as the post saying that anti-Clemson bias was also anti-Christian. SMH

Almost as if a certain segment of the human population are happier with being trite , unapologetic and running around ear-thumping everyone they think may feel differently . I myself have learned to ignore it , but there are a megaton of those who either can't ignore it or oppositely seek it out for their jollies . This is probably why the aliens won't communicate with us .
