Clemsoning
1. The act of failing miserably on a grand athletic stage, or when the stakes are high. 2. Record-setting failure, usually reserved for college football.

There was an epic example of clemsoning when Clemson hosted Florida State in a highly anticipated football game on October 19, 2013. Clemson was ranked 3rd, while Florida State was ranked 5th. Florida State won the game 51 - 14. Clemson set a NCAA record for margin of defeat by a home team ranked #3 or higher. The 51 points scored by Florida State is the most points ever allowed by a Clemson opponent on Clemson's home field. Most of the home team fans could not take the clemsoning any longer and left the game mid way through the third quarter.

Clemsoning
(verb) 1. When you are widely favored to succeed and instead crash & burn. 2. Failing miserably and/or by a wide margin 3. Horribly embarrassing yourself in front of loved ones and strangers alike. 4. Having multiple records broken against you in front of a large audience.

Let me expand your tired vocabulary.

Definition of champion
1. a winner of first prize or first place in competition a tennis champion; also : one who shows marked superiority a champion at selling

first
: preceding all others in time, order, or importance: such as
: earliest

Sounds like the mighty Clemson fan is scared to face Alabama, very understandable though!

Enjoying a nice scotch and a Laranja as 2017 ACC Champs!
Waiting now to see what the playoff four will be.  Most likely Georgia and Oklahoma playing in the Rose Bowl as 2 and 3.  Need to wait to see who they pick for us at #4.
I would rather it not be Alabama.

Another reminder....seems your selective memory is starting to fail you....

Clear and 43 with the super moon shining bright this morning.  65 and partly cloudy for the afternoon.


Took this photo at the beach last night.  Super moon rising over one of the beach hotels.

The moon is awesome still this morning. Did you take that pic on a flip phone? 

No, don't know how to take a photo on a phone so used my old Kodak Btownie.

All kidding aside, you captured a nice one there. As I mentioned on yesterday's banter, the photos never seem to come close to what you actually experience.

For sure the amateur pics don't even begin to show how amazing that view was.

The hotel is painted gray but it is lit up a purplish blue at night and that gauge orange moon over it was really cool.

So you're enjoying the Clemson colors then.

CNS...here we go

He will be insufferable until Alabama has it's revenge.

Looks like your weather may be going downhill soon.  Going downhill here on Wednesday.

ND vs LSU in Orlando.  Don't we have an LSU fan among the Daves?

Yep, rain and a 25 deg drop tomorrow.  We need the rain, though.

Yes we do but I certainly recognize their current limitations and keep my expectations in check.  That said ND should not be as much of a challenge as Troy was

With the way ND performed down the stretch keeping expectations in check sounds like good advice for me as well.

Gamecocks have a ton of experience with that concept and one of my SC fan friends coached me in dealing with it.  Worked quite well too.

I would say this one is a coin toss based on what team(s) show up that day.
