Alumni Stadium has not exactly been the coziest of quarters for Clemson. I still maintain that if Alumni is rocking on a given night it’s as intimidating as any venue in the ACC.

I was impressed that BC was able to prevent a really bad game from Brown from becoming a disastrous, throw-3-ints-and-cost-the-game kind of bad game. I basically never expect Addazio to win a game after falling behind so this was nice.

Good win. When they called play action a few times in the 2nd half they became big plays, one of which was a TD. This is Brown's best chance. It freezes the linebackers and opens up the passing lanes. Let Brown make a short, quick pass to a wide open receiver rather than throwing it downfield where his accuracy is not the greatest. This also has the added result of helping the running game by keeping the linebackers honest. The O line does not get much of a push.

Yes. They might draw gameday too.

Would like to see a colder forecast but timing is good if it's a late night game. Earlier sunset starting tomorrow, low of 35 and rain/snow showers is the current forecast. Make these pretty boys freeze a little bit like Miami did last week.

During the game, I noticed on the bottom line that they were advertising tickets for the Clemson game. For those of you who don't already have tickets, buy one and show up!

This is what we were talking about at Gallaghers here in Phoenix. We think that they WILL draw game day. Looks like a no-brainer actually.

Ugly but they won. Defense really tightened up and made some timely, key plays. Daz 7-2. Imagine that.

The next week will be very enjoyable. If we get a cold, miserable day we have a puncher’s chance. We should destroy FSU and then it comes down to Syracuse for a chance to play in a real good bowl game (even if we lose to Clemson). Better than I expected, but I suppose Daz can fuck it up.

The ACC is down, but when people look back on our 2018 season, they will see wins against Miami, Virginia Tech, Louisville and maybe FSU. Could be worse. That's my positive comment.

This was BC’s first win as a ranked team in almost 10 years. Last time was 11/29/08 against Maryland when they were ranked #20 and beat them 28-21.

BC is 3-30 when trailing at the half under Daz.

AJ Dillon now has 2486 yards moving him into 11th place passing Omari Walker.

BC might be #17 in the playoff rankings this week, maybe even #16 if they pass Florida. They should pass Ped St., Utah, Iowa, Texas, and Texas A&M.

I usually park on Hammond Pond Road and walk, about 10 minutes tops.

I have a fantasy of a 1 loss ND team being passed over for a 2 loss BC team because of the conference championship.

Does anybody ever go to the Clemson board? It's a mess. People start new threads for no reason whatsoever. Most threads have 1 to 3 comments.

Dillon tweaked his ankle during the VT game.
Also, Daz revealed that Dillon didn’t practice all week after Miami. Levy and Glines got most of the carries in practice.

This game looked like it was going to go badly after the first half. I give a lot of credit to the team for being able to turn it around at Lane, even if VT isn't very good. It's been a while since a BC team has been able to turn it around mid-game
