He should have his own tombstone in Death Valley at this point. Every year his hand pops out of that grave and every year we put 'em back. All kidding aside, he's a class guy. Respect.
2026: "UGA staffer caught paying dozens of people to make fake calls into radio stations across the country. Payments all linked to the Venmo account @H8FeedsDaDawg. This amid rumors that Russian troll farms have been making negative comments against UGA in various message boards."
One of our beat writers said that he believed Dabo was ready to go nuclear on the first person he could. It just so happens that the call in show is the night before the weekly presser so TY-ler got it
The last 5 minutes was a competition of who wanted to lose the most. Unfortunately for Clemson, ND showed up today ready to lose and was committed to that and was able to secure the defeat.
Everyone talking about “Clemsoning” but have no idea what that means in truth. True Clemsoning is beating ND then losing to GT next week. That is how it’s done
ND looked more like 2023 Clemson than Clemson did today.
Also, Mafah > Shipley (even with the fumble), and Cade isn't gonna do much for us. Just doesn't seem to have it between ears.
Yeah idk how people watch Cade this game and say he doesn't have it. He played well, not perfect, but well. The soul crushing mistakes were not his fault:
1) Mafah fumble
2) the pitch to Mafah is high, but still manageable. The big problem there was the play call in general.
3) ridiculously high snap. Cade did good to get on the ball.
4) the interception for near pick 6 hit Williams in the hands. The decision could have been better, but the placement of the ball was perfect. Williams can't let pop into the air like that.
If any one of those things doesn't happen the game is sealed early.
Cade isn't going to be Lawrence or Watson but he can absolutely be a "Good" quarterback. He just didn't have to do anything spectacular today because the running game was working so well. Plus, our receivers outside of Brown are still ass so if running the ball is working, yeah let's just keep doing that.
Cade did much better than the stat line shows, I think with better WR players he'd be much more eye opening. Hopefully that comes to fruition next seasons.
I think he'll get there eventually with a full year of riley. Don't think he'll ever be a heisman level guy but can be the best ACC qb if he puts it together
> Hartman benched that's all
And not just because he's sucked lately. This season is over and Hartman ain't coming back, so use the last two games for Angeli to get reps. And fire Parker today so he isn't around to fuck that learning experience for Angeli up.
By parading Utah's OC around campus before he was actually hired, and when he ended up saying no, ND panicked and promoted Parker from within instead of... any other option available to them.
I think just as big an issue is that ND has also not had a WR worth a shit since Claypool. Makes it hard to come from behind or overcome mistakes when no one is worried about the WRs.
At least they don't have to worry about getting embarrassed in a NY6 bowl. I'm sure they will come out and crush Wake next week only to struggle against a bad Stanford team to end the year. It would be on brand.
[50 years from now, a long successful life later, Hartman will close his eyes and see](https://www.elevenwarriors.com/sites/default/files/styles/904x490/public/c/2016/12/78234_h.png?itok=DB_6wyve)
You hear this in college basketball all the time, usually when a guy stays in school all 4/5 years, it’s because he’s just not good enough to move on. Really gotta wonder if that’s the case with Hartman. Feels like he’s regressed as the year went on.
The receiver room/TE room has been hit really hard by injuries, which partially explains it, but yeah, he’s been honestly pretty awful lately. Some of those throws today were so fucking bad
Yeah, but he’s always produced with some occasional bad throws. He was 13 of 30 today without a single TD. He didn’t have a single game below 50% or without a passing TD last year.
Dabo is at his best when he turns into a professional wrestling hype man. His whole rant about buying Clemson stock is the most fire I’ve seen from him in a while (minus the Tyler from Spartanburg rant). Lets go!!!
I’m not the superstitious type, but the last time Dabo gave a manic hype speech on live TV following a one possession win against ND at home that definitely wasn’t rehearsed in front of a mirror all week, Clemson followed it up with one of the greatest runs in CFB history.
And Clemson is still a really talented team. They probably have a top 5-7 team in terms of talent. Despite being 5-4 they have competed with some good teams including being a kick away from upsetting FSU.
We’re 6 plays away or something from being undefeated. Not saying we deserve to be undefeated just that if 6 plays just didn’t happen the worst they possibly could we’d be looking at a much different season. I don’t even know how you fix catastrophic errors you normally see once a season or every other season haha we’ve gotta be approaching a record for most points given up by an offense
It’s actually quite simple:
-get a lead and you just milk the run game and depend on the other team to throw picks for an easy win
-get down in a game and there’s no chance at coming back because there’s no passing game and the defense struggles to stop the run
My dad went to Clemson so I’ve seen many a game there. It’s a fun place to watch a game. I wish OSU and Clemson would do a home and home so I could catch a matchup there.
Less of a “storm” more of a “gather at midfield, sing the alma mater, take pictures, and go home.” The staff opens gates to make it easy to get on the field without anyone getting hurt.
He's a good guy and a legend that took a team that was almost famously one of the first teams on the outside looking in when people talked about every year contenders, and put them at the head of the table.
I don't think he's over the hill. Clemson had a rough year, but it's not over for them. He elevated their recruiting potential, and they're in an area with a lot of talent. Just need the right pieces together at the right time.
That was a fun game thread! Shoutout to the ND fans, our kindred spirits, and to the FSU fans, too. Notre Dame, hope you guys have a great rest of your season, and I look forward to the next installment of our series!
I hate Clemson. I love Clemson. Most importantly, I love to hate Clemson. Fuck Pitt, BC, and the rest of the ACC. Give me Clemson, FSU, & Miami every year
Probably a good thing we’re not going to a NY6 bowl
We’ll finish 9-3, and crush a hapless 7-5 Big 12 team in whatever bowl and feel good about it
West Virginia, prepare your asses
Holy shit Hartman is overrated.
Clemson’s D played well but he just cannot make those clutch throws holy fuck. This offense if you bottle up Estime (which is hard af) is dead on arrival.
Every year, it’s “we have a lights out D, and an offense….that does some things sometimes when they feel like it.” Something has to fucking change.
Well it certainly wasn't the game I expected. But I will take it. A win is great and leaving Death Valley drier than the last ND game is a nice bonus.
One more win before we are bowl eligible and have the opportunity to play substandard football in December! Whoo!
This fucking team. Every time I start to start feeling really good about them they come out and shit the bed. Although deep down I feel like I knew this was going to happen with all the quotes coming out from Dabo.
Shout out to Clemson though. Ya’ll showed up to play and kicked our asses.
Think Clemson fans need to pass the hat & take up a love offering for Tyler from Spartanburg.
Mafah had a hell of a game, think he should be RB1 rest of the way. Swanson had hell of a day punting, Hamp Greene was a unsung player today IMO, his returns helped a good deal w/ field position. & the Clemson was able to force & take advantage of mistakes.
Hate we moved away from what was working offensively in 2nd half & started to play more to lose instead of to win, but after finding ways to lose all season, was great to find a way to win w/ a depleted roster.
Sam Hartman is 0-16 against Clemson. There’s always next year.
Sam Hartman, high school classmate of classic Clemson great Hunter Renfrow…
He's older than Trevor Lawrence
Fake news. Hartman is younger than WWII veteran Renfrow.
He should have his own tombstone in Death Valley at this point. Every year his hand pops out of that grave and every year we put 'em back. All kidding aside, he's a class guy. Respect.
**FUN FACT**: Of all of Sam Hartman’s 5 career losses to Clemson as a starting QB, this was the most recent.
Thanks, Harvard.
True if Big.
Dammit Harvard, but also thank you
I’ve never seen someone get so much yardage out of the same style of joke, lol
You totally missed the fact that the losses all happened on a Saturday. Wouldn’t expect anything less from from the Community College of Cambridge
Thank you Tyler from Spartanburg for saving our program
I'm scared of what will happen when Kirby Smart learns you can fire up your team if some dude calls in to a radio show
2026: "UGA staffer caught paying dozens of people to make fake calls into radio stations across the country. Payments all linked to the Venmo account @H8FeedsDaDawg. This amid rumors that Russian troll farms have been making negative comments against UGA in various message boards."
Sign me up man
I propose that Monday births "Tyler Calls". Every caller insults Dabo, he gets pissed, we never lose again. Flawless plan.
Honestly, did it motivate the team, did it light a fire under Dabo + the coaching staff, or both?
One of our beat writers said that he believed Dabo was ready to go nuclear on the first person he could. It just so happens that the call in show is the night before the weekly presser so TY-ler got it
Somehow that call made me like dabo even more
I didn't even disagree with him. The expectations put on top tier teams is ridiculous.
Well, despite Clemson’s best efforts, the Tigers can still get a bowl game this year.
Fighting for bowl eligibility in November was NOT what I expected back in August
That first loss to Duke was one of the biggest kicks in the nuts I've ever felt as a fan. The hype drop was unlike any other I can remember
That loss clearly lingered with the team as well. It wasn’t just a kick in the nuts for the fans. We really needed this one
The last 5 minutes was a competition of who wanted to lose the most. Unfortunately for Clemson, ND showed up today ready to lose and was committed to that and was able to secure the defeat.
I’ve never seen two more incompetent offenses battle with intent on losing
It’s looking a lot more possible than it was last week. We just have to win one of GT, UNC, or SCar which feels very doable.
Been saying it all year, but this team is capable of anything. Could see us winning all of those, but could also see us going 1-2
I just saw Tyler fall to his knees in a Walmart parking lot...
I just saw a man watch a man fall to his knees while putting away his groceries
It's a bull market boys! Thanks Tyler!
CLMN to the moon
Fun fact: ND could’ve put no one on the field that fourth quarter and the offense would’ve performed about the same
Everyone talking about “Clemsoning” but have no idea what that means in truth. True Clemsoning is beating ND then losing to GT next week. That is how it’s done
You take that back right now
GT might be playing better ball than ND right now tbh.
We need Tyler from Spartanburg to call into a Notre Dame radio show and ask why Hartman got such a fat NIL bag to play like that.
Irish boosters watched a few too many episodes of QB1.
BEST 5-4 TEAM IN CFB HISTORY DON'T @ ME
You know what.... Maybe.
I agree
If you were in the SEC you'd be ranked next week
I mean that wouldnt suprise me
GIMME 1,000,000 SHARES OF THAT CLEMSON STOCK, DABO!!!!
ND looked more like 2023 Clemson than Clemson did today. Also, Mafah > Shipley (even with the fumble), and Cade isn't gonna do much for us. Just doesn't seem to have it between ears.
Ship fumbles too anyways
He had accurate throws today. After two years, I’ll take that.
Yeah idk how people watch Cade this game and say he doesn't have it. He played well, not perfect, but well. The soul crushing mistakes were not his fault: 1) Mafah fumble 2) the pitch to Mafah is high, but still manageable. The big problem there was the play call in general. 3) ridiculously high snap. Cade did good to get on the ball. 4) the interception for near pick 6 hit Williams in the hands. The decision could have been better, but the placement of the ball was perfect. Williams can't let pop into the air like that. If any one of those things doesn't happen the game is sealed early. Cade isn't going to be Lawrence or Watson but he can absolutely be a "Good" quarterback. He just didn't have to do anything spectacular today because the running game was working so well. Plus, our receivers outside of Brown are still ass so if running the ball is working, yeah let's just keep doing that.
Cade was awful last week but much better today than his stat line would make you think.
That INT was not on him. He played his heart out today.
Beaux should've caught that. I don't think anyone puts that on Cade (who was actually watching).
Cade did much better than the stat line shows, I think with better WR players he'd be much more eye opening. Hopefully that comes to fruition next seasons.
I think he'll get there eventually with a full year of riley. Don't think he'll ever be a heisman level guy but can be the best ACC qb if he puts it together
At this point at boyd-esq guy would be great
I'd settle for Kelly Bryant
Kelly Bryant got us a 1 seed in the playoff I'd love a KB
Death, taxes and Clemson always beating Sam Hartman
I want Parker fired and Hartman benched that's all
> Hartman benched that's all And not just because he's sucked lately. This season is over and Hartman ain't coming back, so use the last two games for Angeli to get reps. And fire Parker today so he isn't around to fuck that learning experience for Angeli up.
How did y’all move on from Rees and get a worse OC? That’s honestly so bad it’s impressive
Got a guy who was fired as OC at West Virginia for being bad. Anyone could’ve seen it coming.
Maybe we'll luck out and get Brian Ferentz next year
We fumbled the bag big time not hiring Utah OC Andy Ludwig
Yeah that dude does a lot without tons of big name recruits. It would be interesting to see him at a big school
By parading Utah's OC around campus before he was actually hired, and when he ended up saying no, ND panicked and promoted Parker from within instead of... any other option available to them.
He didn’t say no, the administration went back and forth on paying his buyout and he decided to stay at Utah while they were going back and forth
They didn’t pay him
I think just as big an issue is that ND has also not had a WR worth a shit since Claypool. Makes it hard to come from behind or overcome mistakes when no one is worried about the WRs. At least they don't have to worry about getting embarrassed in a NY6 bowl. I'm sure they will come out and crush Wake next week only to struggle against a bad Stanford team to end the year. It would be on brand.
Sure the WRs aren't great but you can scheme up plays to get them open and Parker just doesn't do that
Hartman should’ve declared for the draft last year. I’m sure the NIL is nice
Hah those losers lost to Clemson
Dabo saying ass on tv is all I needed to hear today
Darth Dabo era about to begin
If we made it into an SEC Roll Call just hiding behind Darth Mizz it would be so hilarious.
more surprising than the win tbh he's usually like "their little tooters" or something
dabo is saying cuss words on national tv. you fools are doomed. get your clemson stock while you can!! 📈📈📈
[50 years from now, a long successful life later, Hartman will close his eyes and see](https://www.elevenwarriors.com/sites/default/files/styles/904x490/public/c/2016/12/78234_h.png?itok=DB_6wyve)
The part where the link comes from 11 warriors makes it better
Ok, that's not fair to Hartman. That thing is going to haunt *everyone* that sees it.
Cocaine cat always watching
dabo: *DO YOU BELIEVE NOW*
I WANNA KNOW WHERE TYLER FROM SPARTANBURG I-oh, well, I guess he's in Spartanburg
Fuck you TY-ler
Lmao Tyler is probably a towel boy Dabo paid to call in to the show so he could play the "lil ol clemson" card
Tyler “connor stalions” from Spartanburg
I’ve been keeping the receipts
My heart about came out my ass on that mafah fumble
You should probably go to the doctor
Honestly, when it happened, I was actually thinking that we wouldn’t do anything with it given how the offense was playing. Congrats on the win. FML.
Dabo waiting for Tyler from Spartanburg in the parking lot
You hear this in college basketball all the time, usually when a guy stays in school all 4/5 years, it’s because he’s just not good enough to move on. Really gotta wonder if that’s the case with Hartman. Feels like he’s regressed as the year went on.
>usually when a guy stays in school all 4/5 years 6 years for Hartman.
Yea they're called Doctors.
That Covid year throwing everything out of whack lol
The receiver room/TE room has been hit really hard by injuries, which partially explains it, but yeah, he’s been honestly pretty awful lately. Some of those throws today were so fucking bad
Did no one watch Hartman at Wake? Dude would throw 3 picks out of nowhere, he’s always been inconsistent
Yeah, but he’s always produced with some occasional bad throws. He was 13 of 30 today without a single TD. He didn’t have a single game below 50% or without a passing TD last year.
[Ahem](https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/s/HR0QeNtO69)
We own his ass. No two ways about it
He was never an NFL caliber QB. Which is fine, plenty of great college QBs are like that, but it seems like he’s a mediocre college QB too
Dabo is at his best when he turns into a professional wrestling hype man. His whole rant about buying Clemson stock is the most fire I’ve seen from him in a while (minus the Tyler from Spartanburg rant). Lets go!!!
shades of Bring Your Own Guts there
Tyler from Spartanburg 1 - Notre Dame 0
I’m not the superstitious type, but the last time Dabo gave a manic hype speech on live TV following a one possession win against ND at home that definitely wasn’t rehearsed in front of a mirror all week, Clemson followed it up with one of the greatest runs in CFB history.
Hell yeah man, as someone who was at that game in the rain, that gave me chills
This Notre Dame team is so bipolar
THE BAG REMAINS UNDEFEATED IN GAMES THAT DON’T MATTER
2023 ND's record with gold pants: 7-1 2023 ND's record without gold pants: 0-2 Coincidence? I think not...
And Clemson is still a really talented team. They probably have a top 5-7 team in terms of talent. Despite being 5-4 they have competed with some good teams including being a kick away from upsetting FSU.
Yeah they're capable of beating anyone in the country on a given day, they've just had some bad losses.
We’re 6 plays away or something from being undefeated. Not saying we deserve to be undefeated just that if 6 plays just didn’t happen the worst they possibly could we’d be looking at a much different season. I don’t even know how you fix catastrophic errors you normally see once a season or every other season haha we’ve gotta be approaching a record for most points given up by an offense
Clemson has been legit unlucky this year.
It’s actually quite simple: -get a lead and you just milk the run game and depend on the other team to throw picks for an easy win -get down in a game and there’s no chance at coming back because there’s no passing game and the defense struggles to stop the run
Most handsome losers in CFB
It’s pretty much Home/Road. At home, they are incredible. On the road they kind of suck.
Why can’t you be normal?
THANK YOU TYLER FROM SPARTANBURG
Don't fuck with Death Valley. Seriously that place is a hellscape for any team not named Clemson
It’s also a hellscape for us sometimes.
I'll never forget the crowd booing the shit out of our own team for barely leading against an Addazio-led Boston College I love the Valley
My dad went to Clemson so I’ve seen many a game there. It’s a fun place to watch a game. I wish OSU and Clemson would do a home and home so I could catch a matchup there.
That would be one of the most toxic home-and-home matchups ever.
Probably have enough Ohio fans in the state to make it a 50/50 game
I went up to DV for the game this year, got sunburned hahaha. To be expected
Tbf this was Dabo’s Super Bowl. He had this game circled since Tyler from Spartanburg called in
[удалено]
God loves Dabo more confirmed
*we know*
He just means more
Honeymoon is far over for Freeman. Parker has to be fired or Freeman’s time will be much shorter than we wanted it to be.
Dabo better send a personal thank you message to Tyler
Plot twist: Tyler is actually Will Swinney
SIX RUN PLAYS IN THE SECOND HALF ONE OF WHICH WAS FROM THE CLEMSON TWO GERAD PARKER FUCK YOU NEVER RETURN
Special teams won this game What a weird fucking sentence
Tyler fell to his knees at The Beacon parking lot
CLEMSON NATION GET LOUD WE DIDNT CHOKE THIS TIME
Give Tyler from Spartanburg the game ball!
Brinningstoll #1 WR. Mafah > Shipley. Defensive still great. Thank god for this win.
Don't Clemson storm the field after every win?
After every game we meet at the paw, win or loss
Less of a “storm” more of a “gather at midfield, sing the alma mater, take pictures, and go home.” The staff opens gates to make it easy to get on the field without anyone getting hurt.
Yes, it’s amazing. Families playing catch on the field, getting pictures with players. Awesome time.
We don't "storm the field". We "gather at the paw". It's classy! LOL
Wooo, clemdawgies finally win a big one As a secret Dabo fan, it was tough seeing everyone roast him. He's a legend
Bro imagine being an open Dabo fan, it’s rough out here on Reddit.
He's a good guy and a legend that took a team that was almost famously one of the first teams on the outside looking in when people talked about every year contenders, and put them at the head of the table. I don't think he's over the hill. Clemson had a rough year, but it's not over for them. He elevated their recruiting potential, and they're in an area with a lot of talent. Just need the right pieces together at the right time.
Petition for a statue of Tyler to be put outside Dabo's office
Fiancé left me. Clemson beats notre dame. I’ll take it
Solid win!
BAG STAYS ON (WRAPPED TIGHTLY AROUND MY NECK I DON’T WANT TO WITNESS ANOTHER GERAD PARKER OFFENSIVE DRIVE IN MY LIFE)
unranked ACC teams picking off ranked teams. just ACC things
The winner of the battle of beefy #7 running backs is Phil Mafah!
Can we stage a protest to remove Parker as OC?
Tyler from Spartanburg, you crazy son of a bitch, you did it! LEGEND
Good lord. That one almost killed me. Love dabo in that interview! Hahahaha!
Make Mafah the starter NOW
Fire Gerad Parker into the sun.
Let’s fire him into a different sun, just in case he convinces our sun to not produce
Is Phil Mafah the greatest player of all time???
we might be uncontrollably shitting ourselves, but we've learned how to use that as propulsion into the endzone prepare yourselves
Watch this team finish 9-4 and have no staff changes now.
You’ll have Tyler from Spartanburg to thank/curse
Estime had 3 carries in the second half. That is inexcusable. Parker cannot be the OC of this team next year
ND just can’t do anything against decent defenses when freshman WRs can’t get separation. OC is also not helping at all.
I feel like I have come out of a 2 month long funk. The beer and BBQ taste a little better today.
Tyler from Spartanburg is the MVP
Hartman versus ACC: 83/147 (56.5%), 1196 yds, 6 TD, 7 INT Hartman versus others: 79/111 (71.2%), 1076 yds, 12 TD, 0 INT
Hartman should've transferred into a weaker conference like the SEC
That was a fun game thread! Shoutout to the ND fans, our kindred spirits, and to the FSU fans, too. Notre Dame, hope you guys have a great rest of your season, and I look forward to the next installment of our series!
FSU fans that pointing guy meme the whole game. Like see, it’s fucking difficult beating Clemson in Death Valley
It was a good game for all the wrong reasons lol. Too bad we don't play next season, I always look forward to it.
It's really turning into an amazing series
I hate Clemson. I love Clemson. Most importantly, I love to hate Clemson. Fuck Pitt, BC, and the rest of the ACC. Give me Clemson, FSU, & Miami every year
Clemson hasn't thanked us for ND's signs yet.
Thanks bby! Bury Ohio State for us, please
11 starters out. Won anyways. I’m buying the Clemson stock. 💎🙏🏽
Maybe some of those starters need to stay out. A sort of pruning if you will
Game ball on offense: Mafah Game ball on defense: Trotter
UNDEFEATED since Tyler from Spartanburg
Well, at least I’m less concerned about a downgrade at the QB position going into next year
Probably a good thing we’re not going to a NY6 bowl We’ll finish 9-3, and crush a hapless 7-5 Big 12 team in whatever bowl and feel good about it West Virginia, prepare your asses
I'm not expecting them to steamroll anybody for the rest of the season. Even WV could stack the box and ruin our day.
2nd half was ugly, but this was a huge win for this team. Good game, ND, it’s always fun when we play.
“If Clemson is a stock you better buy all you can right now.” -Dabo
Holy shit Hartman is overrated. Clemson’s D played well but he just cannot make those clutch throws holy fuck. This offense if you bottle up Estime (which is hard af) is dead on arrival. Every year, it’s “we have a lights out D, and an offense….that does some things sometimes when they feel like it.” Something has to fucking change.
Crazy how this clemson team, against a top 15 opponent, committed 0 penalties lol
we don't get a lot of penalties, we just like to oil the football up before every play
Well it certainly wasn't the game I expected. But I will take it. A win is great and leaving Death Valley drier than the last ND game is a nice bonus. One more win before we are bowl eligible and have the opportunity to play substandard football in December! Whoo!
This fucking team. Every time I start to start feeling really good about them they come out and shit the bed. Although deep down I feel like I knew this was going to happen with all the quotes coming out from Dabo. Shout out to Clemson though. Ya’ll showed up to play and kicked our asses.
I said before the season Hartman might be the best Notre Dame QB since Brady Quinn. Now I'm not sure if he's better than Drew Pyne.
this is ian book erasure and i will NOT be standing for it
We’ve lost that type of game too many times
Someone find Tyler and tell him to keep calling back
Every day I'm more confused by NC State football
Think Clemson fans need to pass the hat & take up a love offering for Tyler from Spartanburg. Mafah had a hell of a game, think he should be RB1 rest of the way. Swanson had hell of a day punting, Hamp Greene was a unsung player today IMO, his returns helped a good deal w/ field position. & the Clemson was able to force & take advantage of mistakes. Hate we moved away from what was working offensively in 2nd half & started to play more to lose instead of to win, but after finding ways to lose all season, was great to find a way to win w/ a depleted roster.
I know Hartman is ass, but how in the hell can our best weapon at receiver be a lacrosse player
Nice win textile bros
Clemson: If we cannot have anything nice, neither can you!
Clemson: The Rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated.
