This might not be 100% correct but it pretty close.

The last year that we were good, we went 3-0 in ranked road games, and that was 2012.

Included in those losses is that one to FSU last year also, and I can't see anybody using that game to push an agenda that ND struggles in road games against good teams. That was before we lost the majority of our team to injuries.
 
3-7 or 2-5 whatever it is isn't the worst record ever. It's actually pretty good.

Winning 33-40% against ranked teams on the road is a solid record.

51-14 The score the last time Clemson face a top ten team at home. See we can turn this around on you too. Just remember ND is used to playing in the BIG house(109,901) and Death Valley (81,473) is no where near the Big House as being scary in fact if Clemson goes down by 14 most of the fans head for 123 to get the heck out of town so there goes your home field advantage.

I may be a bit biased but I have to disagree with this. No offense to Michigan as their place is large and they pack them in. The big thing is that stadium design makes a difference and the big house just doesn't hold the noise(yes I have been there) like Clemson does.

Every time ND plays on the road - opposing fans bring their best. This will be no different. These kids are used to prime time. The biggest advantage ND has is their OL - which is arguably the best in the country. All this talk about Will Fuller and so forth - when ND will likely be pounding the rock.

It will be very quiet at 'Death valley " Saturday night after the Irish pound Clemson into submission.

In their last 11 games against ranked teams, both home AND AWAY, Alabama is below .500. They don't suck. Neither do we.

interestng stiff. Just like I read that the last time Clemson played a ranked team at home was 2103 vs Florida St. How did that work out for you all?
 
61% of teams that have a bye week in September lose their next game. When you're overrated the home field advantage doesn't mean much. Look at what FSU did to Clemson two years ago. It's going to be a good game. Get over yourself Clemson fan.

When they say 'Dabo is going to Dabo' what does that mean?

Or when a team messes up in a game. Why do they call that 'Clemsoning'?
 
I'm just glad that a Clemson fan exist and came to this board

went to several Clemson sites and there was no one there

Thats just something Gamecock fans and some T Shirt Clemson fans say. Some dont think hes a very good coach so when a play goes wrong they blame him as if he had overridden the OC or DC on the call.

The art of "Clemsoning" is beating a very good team only to lose to a crap team the next week. That was the original definition but it has morphed into basically grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory. We havent done anything close to "Clemsoning" since 2011 and have won our last 31 games against unranked teams. Next time you see a Gamecock fan on the main board ask them about "Cockflopping".

I don't think I'd ever ask anyone about "Cockflopping".
