The Heels are licking their wounds after a would-be comeback turns sour due to the worst play calling in the history of college football. Clemson comes in undefeated, after a crazy second-half comeback against Maryland, erasing a 28-10 second quarter deficit. Odds are, Clemson realized how awful Maryland’s uniforms looked, and decided to teach Under Armour a lesson. But, here’s the week that Carolina begins the climb to the BCS Championship game, regardless of the fact that they play in the ACC and have two losses.

Reason 1: Yabba Dabba Do!

Ironically, this match up pits two of the most underachieving programs in the ACC over the past few seasons. Both teams have been loaded with NFL talent recently, but neither has had much success under their current regime (we’re lumping Withers in with Butch Davis here). Clemson consistently has incredible recruiting classes, but they have been worse than advertised on the field. The reason? Dabo Swinney. On the surface, it would look like he’s finally turned it around, and all of that talent is finally paying dividends for the Tiger’s head coach. But, Dabo is only a play away from total implosion, and here’s to hoping his anti-coaching rears its ugly head tomorrow.

Reason 2: Tajh Boyd can’t keep this up forever, can he?

Boyd has only thrown for 19 touchdowns, rushed for three, and has thrown three picks in seven games this season. He’s bound to have one off-game, right? After all, Carolina’s daunting defense has to actually play up to its potential at least once this season, right? Lots of questions to be answered, especially when the Carolina front seven has tons of future NFL players on it, but the coaching staff is insistent on rushing three. Honestly though, what’s the point of playing to your strengths? Here’s to hoping Withers finally unleashes the hounds and brings the pressure, forcing Boyd into making quick decisions.

Reason 3: No one goes to school at Clemson.

Research was certainly done here, and the CWC tried to find a notable Clemson alumni to rip on, but honestly, there aren’t any. It appears that nobody actually goes to school there. IPTAY (I Pay Ten A Year) is the Clemson supporter’s group, which consists of “alumni” and fans alike, and you pay $10 a year to be part of the group. If it only costs $10 a year to be in the supporter’s group, when supporting your team is really what being a college student is about, who would actually bother with all of those useless classes? Exactly. No one would.

Disclaimer: The CWC understands that IPTAY membership is no longer $10, but with the way our team is playing, we have little else to talk about.

Clemson fans, please be kind here. After the offseason Carolina has had, our fanbase really has little else than to hope that something awful happens to the team we’re playing. We’re falling apart currently, and if your entire team happens to catch the stomach flu and can’t take the field, that would be best for everyone involved.
