Everyday Randomness

One More Bowden Bowl Down

Barely. Clemson won last night 24-18, but I was really disappointed in the second half. In typical Clemson style, we kicked butt the first half then slacked off and looked like idiots running up and down the field during the second half. Okay, so maybe we didn’t look as stupid as we have in the past, but our guys really need to work on this. We’ve had this problem for years. If our first half goes great, our guys seem to slack off during the second half. Is it “Big Head” syndrome? If we suck the first half, we normally come out of the locker room steaming after half time, and we seem to play great! Why can’t the guys just get it together and play a full game with no problems.

Last night was a classic case. Within the first 17 minutes of the game we were up 21-0. We opened the second half 24-3, but it only took 2 quarters and some slacking off to allow FSU to bring it up to 18 points. Even the final play was a touchy one. With one second left in the game, the call on the last play was reviewed, but ruled that the call stood as called on the field. Any other outcome, and FSU would have tied the game up, pushing us into overtime.

Let’s just hope our guys get it together in time for the Clemson VS South Carolina game.  I found some awesome Clemson luggage I want to buy for the trip, but I’m not wasting my money if I know they’re going to lose!
