Wow - and many of you say that I am negative...

FINAL FOUR IN BASEBALL!!!
For the past fifteen years, our football program and basketball programs have NOT EVEN BEEN CLOSE to this kind of success - nor do we appear anywhere close to having that kind of success. You are COMPLETELY DELUSIONAL if you see anything negative about a Final Four appearance in any sport.
"But we lost to South Carolina" - WAAAAHHHHHH! The beat us fair and square. Just b/c they are headed to the national title game does not make our season a failure.
Dabo would be given the keys to the city if he even made a BCS game. An Elite Eight appearance by Brownie would be the greatest moment in the history of our basketball program.
Kudos to Leggett and his team for doing something truly phenomenal. If you cannot see that, sorry...

to be both pleased at the overall arc of the season while simultaneously disappointed at how it ended. Especially so soon after and especially given back to back loses to one's rival.

any time soon... 
But seriously, losing to SCAR would not be any worse than losing to another team. A football season that ended with a Sugar Bowl loss would be FANTASTIC!!!

Clemson people do not get excited about moral victories.

Whether we were the best or worst team in that tournament, the goal was to win it, and we did not. The instant we start being happy with second best is the instant we become no better than our friends in Columbia. We made a good run, but we came up short, and I just can't get excited about being the third or forth best team in the tournament.

very good post. no one should accept losing but the constant bashing of coaches and calling the players chokers is way over the line imo.

very well be his legacy at Clemson...
He's been/is a great coach but if he never wins a National Title... a lot of people will only remember the Coots knocking us out... 0-4 against them in Omaha.

I agree with what you are saying...
Jun 28, 2010, 3:38 PM

however, I think folks were disappointed before it ever got to this point. Even though in the grand scheme of things this was a good season, to me this team did not live up to their true potential. After starting off great, they ended up struggling through most if the year. At one point there was a question whether they would even make the post season or not. But the bats got hot when they needed to and they were able to make a good run. My opinion is if we hadn't had that 24 hour rain delay in the OU game, we would be in the National Title series.
