D-E-F-E-N-C-E (how the signs read) wins championships and both teams has tremendous D the whole game. We were all just waiting for the "Brady Bunch" to put it in the end zone thanks to GRONK and the little bearded wonder MVP.
I'm sure you all know I could give a Shick about the Superlative Patriots Bowl. Defense was king for my Clemson Tigers in my real Super Bowl against the mighty Low TIDE . . . and BTW we have a pretty FREAKING good offense too and it will remain for a number of more years.
If you allow me, I can add that the sportsmanship of the Alabama players may be indicative of what they may be "taught" (???) by their coaches and "teachers". All I've heard from the Bama players are excuses about there focus and they were mentally tired and they made too many mistakes and they played their worst game and so on and so on about themselves. Never once have I read or heard (via ESPN or Youtube) them giving the slightest, the slightest hint of a compliment to how well Clemson played and how they shut them down in their "big time" run game and how the O-line protected their freshman Phenom QB and took big time advantage of their D-backs with amazing freshman and sophomore receivers.
Pathetic sour grapes. Sure they were bummed out by being thrashed by a much superior team, they were out played in every aspect of the game and out coached as well. If the "Tide" was turned I guarantee the Clemson players comments would be 180 degrees opposite. Much to do about Dabo and his elite staff (teachers).
I could go on and on about this but won't since few here care less. But it's about sportsmanship in winning or losing. Clemson not only is #1 in the sport but more importantly #1 in sportsmanship.
Signing off on my soap box as a PROUD CLEMSON TIGER in many ways!!! And I promise that I will try to wait until next August to say any more about Clemson . . . but I said "try".
