This past Saturday, my Family and I went out to watch the Clemson Tigers take on North Carolina State. To be honest I am not really that impressed with the Tigers this year for several reasons.
1. Lack of Leadership - I am not on the field wit the guys, but it seems that no one is stepping up to take this team to the next level. These guys are no longer in high school. If we are going to compete on a national level it will take more than hype and recruiting to get it done. I am looking to see the sidelines filled with players pushing one another to win.
2. We do not have a mentality of winning - If we are going to be a successful football program we must think, believe, and act like we are winners. We are too busy pulling out our memorabilia from the Danny Ford days hoping that one Saturday they will roll him up to the sidelines in a hospital bed to lead us to our second National Title in the schools history. Why not just try winning the next game. This was the problem with the Alabama game. We walked into that game thinking that our ranking would get it done. Not gonna happen. If the players and the coaches could start thinking and believing that we are winners, I believe that our football team could move from mediocrity to success.
3. Lack of Passion - If I have to watch the Clemson Tigers run down that hill hill one more time like they could care less about what they are going down there to do, i am going to puke. What ever happened to the days of passion and zeal. It is pretty awesome watching Skip Holtz lead ECU to a winning season. Those guys are playing like they believe!
If anyone reads this blog who is a South Carolina Fan and you hate Clemson, go ask God to forgive you and send me an apology for being evil.
