Wrap your heads around this ...


Jan 10, 2019, 7:27 PM

Trevor Lawrence, who is now the toast of the college football world after torching the best college football team in history and leading his team to the National Championship and supplanting Tua Tugavaiola as the odds on favorite for next year's Heisman ... was not even first team All-Conference; that honor went to Ryan Finley, who TL out performed by a staggering margin in head-to-head competition.

If that's not bad enough, how about Justin Ross? He dominated DBs all year, averaging 22 yds per catch, and literally broke the ankle of a BAMA DB on the way to 6 catches and 153 yds in the championship game. Yet he did not even make honorable mention in all-conference voting.

Let me be clear about this, I am absolutely reveling in the success of this season, particularly the way we destroyed ND and BAMA on the biggest stage under the brightest lights. Nothing but blue (well, orange) skies and sunshine for me ... but the absurdity of these bogus All-ACC teams and the media bias is laughable. Yes, I understand that the voting took place and teams were determined before the end of the season, and I also understand that Clemson was very well represented on these teams, but in all fairness and without bias, Clemson deserved even better. I bring it up now because the absurdity is even more evident in light of our more recent accomplishments.

The ACC had to find a way to...

spread some accolades around. You’re right - putting Finley ahead of TL in any respect is absurd.

Clemson IS the all-ACC team at almost every position with the exception of Safety and Punter. Maybe place-kicker too, but who cares... we didn’t need field goals to win. Our entire offense less one OL and a TE, our entire DL, LBs and corners.

We are just like FSU was 15-25 years ago. We have no competition in the ACC. And that’s ok with me. Scru the ACC. Scru all of them. They all s u c k.
