THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-CLEMSON PREDICTION THREAD

[Greene Rice FIG]

Well, before the season started, just about everyone had this as a W. Losing to a mediocre Clemson team AT HOME by 10 points, under a barrage of 3-pointers, is, indeed, a nightmare scenario.

Nightmare scenario is losing by 10 and coming home and seeing a fire truck in your driveway and your house on fire because you left your tree plugged in and didn’t add water

Silly comment. Obviously it's all relative, and the real world trumps anything occurring at the RAC, but we're talking about sports here, and in the sports world, what I described is a nightmare.

It seems more like a 10 point loss to Clemson would be a repudiation of people’s flawed preseason expectations. At least for me, it would not be nightmarish; just disappointing. I’ve adjusted my expectations downwards based on early season form.

Hopefully the team exceeds expectations tonight.

When you count Pike and crew out they rise to the occasion and we will pull out an ugly win tonight 65-63.

How about you have season tickets and the seat next to you is always open. Tonight a big fat smelly guy sits next you and won’t shut up and then tells you how excited he was that he bought season tickets.

With only a few exceptions or so, I’ve never viewed the outcome of a sporting event as nightmarish. One exception I can think of was the game where Eric Legrand was paralyzed. Others were in racing where really bad, sometimes deadly, crashes occurred.

Would a ten point loss tonight really cause you to suffer nightmares? Or to even lose sleep?

That would be nightmarish. LOL

Simon says no.

Not sure you understand how Simon says works..

I don't know that I can agree that a 10 point loss to another P5 team is a "nightmare". Perhaps just a wee bit of hyperbole?

Well gee if that happens all year you think 6-25 would be a nightmare?

 

[mildone_rivals]

Nope. Just very disappointing.

If sporting contest results make a person have nightmares, that tells me that person has lived a sheltered life, free of any real nightmare situations.

 

[mildone_rivals]

So if a ten point loss would’ve been nightmare for some of you, was the ten point win a wet dream for you?
