It seems to me...that at practices/Spring games...fans always are "pulling" for the offense. Do yall agree?
It's like if Shaw was 21-26....302 through air...75 on ground...3 td's and no picks....most fans would be maj happy. Or if Andre Ellington ran 18 times for 153 yards...our fans would be thrilled about the production from the OL/RB, with a complete disregard of how our make shift OL somehow dominated our defensive front 7....
Even when I read Tony's practice observations or someone giving highlights of the spring game thread or practice number 1 and it's 7 on 7 work...the offensive plays are always highlighted, and fans are re-acting positively or negatively to the offense without much consideration for the defense.
Prime example...we are on the 6th hole at Woodcreek today...one of my buddies who's member here says..."Shaw just threw 70 yarder to Byrd". The entire 4some was either thinking, or said "Damn that's bad ass". None of us saw the play....but you have ZERO thought of..."Damn is our corner on that side too slow? Did he bite on a fake? Was it a missed assignment?.....I mean maybe it was absolutely perfect coverage...Shaw just made a hell of a throw and put it in the 1ft window where the defender couldn't get to it and Byrd could catch it in stride and he scored quickly....but regardless that play just kind of proves my point.
I can understand it I guess....I mean who goes to a spring game and is pulling for 3 and out after 3 and out...but I've always felt that if Tony reports that Garcia was 7 for 22 in the spring game with 2 or 3 sacks taken then fans would be worried about the offense....well maybe yall just happen to have the 3rd best D in the nation and your offense won't play one as good unless they make it to Atlanta.
Anyone else feel the same? Clemson fans same way...and it's not bc we have Morris and our D gives up speed limit to people....but I've felt this way even when the D was the strength of our team.
Just don't understand it.

Flobird,
How is me thinking Clemson would win being fake? I thought Price would play.
I can see me saying we'd get ass kicked on here, and saying other places I thought we'd win as being fake but your rational is the absolute dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Did I say we would have won if Price played? Absolutely not.
I was told and read Price was healthy and good to go. That effected my thought process in thinking Clemson could or would win the game.
You act like we were 21 point dogs and I was crazy for thinking Clemson could win.
Why do you continually put words in my mouth?
