Yeah, it hasn’t happened since... well, last year. And probably won’t happen again until perhaps next year? Hype.


Clemson had won 29 in a row before LSU destroyed them in 3 quarters. Probably will win every game next year, too. I’m not even an LSU fan. Just calling it like I see it. Burrow had 268 yards passing in one quarter. When did happen “last year?” I assume you are a Clemson partisan. No need to degrade LSU’s historic run.

Not a Clemson fan or partisan though I was pulling for them as an ACC team. But last year, Clemson did to Alabama what LSU did to them this year. Alabama was the favorite, winning 2 of the last 3 and Clemson won by 30. Clemson was a much better team last year (losing a number of key starters to the NFL) and this year, were fortunate to not lose to UNC when the Heels failed a two point conversion at the end of the game.

I actually liked both teams, QBs and coaches last night. It’s the bandwagon hyping by the commentators I have an issue with. It’s sales and marketing. Everybody wants to say they were there when their team scaled the mountain and became the greatest in history. Every quarterback is going to be the greatest prospect we have seen in years. Vince Young, Robert Griffin, Baker Mayfield... Hey, if that’s what keeps you warm at night, enjoy.

Burrow is great. And tough. He showed more, when he took that lick before halftime and came back, than any statistic some hack sports announcer is handed by his researchers.

Hype. Sell it!
