I can't stand to watch them play because I get too involved. I will break my teevee. I follow updates on Twitter.
We rolled The Tide!
(I respect Alabama. Clemson has many ties to them. 3 of our head coaches including Dabo graduated from there. Many other connections too. However, I am more of an Auburn fan.)

BTW
I remember watching us beat Nebraska in 1981. I thought I was gonna have a stroke!

will say it was because he was not involved. Otherwise, a wonderful outcome.

to the game. All I could think of was...please, please go for the TD. Don't tie the game up and go into OT. I need to get to bed.

to bed because it looked like the Crimson Tide had it in the bag.

a little after mid night I typed in google asking what the score was and have been happy every since.

I kick myself in the ASS for not watching the whole game.

It was 14-0 fairly quickly. But I knew one touchdown could change everything. I also know how good we can play. Sure enough. I had agita just checking Twitter.

Not that I was watching the game, since I don't like football. But, I have a little bit of a soft spot for Clemson, and I am a big fan of the underdog, so I was pulling for them. I also went to bed when it was 14-0. Then I woke up to "College football has a new national champion..." Holy shit!!! Nice to wake up to some pleasant news, for a change.

but I think I'm OK with the outcome. Been an FSU fan all my life so I was still bummed by losing to Clemson earlier in the season. But I was also getting tired of all the Alabama winning and was ready for them to get knocked down a peg.

Wasn't FSU in the title game but at least it was still ACC. And it never hurts my feelings when ACC beats SEC.

I back the other one.

I wanted Clemson to win since last year - Go Grits!
