1. Clemson isn’t going anywhere
People have started to pay attention to Clemson football. There’s no doubt about that.
The Tigers have gone from being this ‘loveable underdog’ to this ‘arrogant superpower’ that needs to be knocked off its make-believe throne.
Clemson has consistently beaten the SEC, the perceived power conference. The Tigers have knocked off the likes of Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Ohio State and Alabama in the CFB Playoff.
As we said before: One time is fine, but no one wants to see it become a trend. Well, that’s exactly what it has become for Clemson.
The truth of the matter is that people are taking notice of Clemson and they’re starting to realize that the Tigers aren’t going away anytime soon. Clemson is in position to compete for the ACC and get back to the CFB Playoff for several more years to come.
Dabo Swinney has his program positioned to become the next Alabama- a dynasty in CFB- and people don’t want to see that.
Just as they hated Nick Saban and Alabama, they’re going to do the same with Dabo Swinney and Clemson. Though Swinney is a fun-loving coach with a great personality, people are going to continue to find ways to hate on Clemson because the Tigers are having success unlike anything we’ve ever seen and they’re not going to stop.

Our advice: Let the haters hate. Clemson football fans need to enjoy, appreciate and relish this era of success without worrying about outside influences or opinions.
