Beating Bama Made Being National Champions A Little Sweeter

Beating Bama Made Being National Champions A Little Sweeter
Clemson Sports

Here I am at an ungodly hour having a hard time being calm and can't stop smiling. It took Clemson 35 years to get to this point - the point where we are National Champions again. We have dethroned Alabama and boy, it feels good. I'm too young to have seen it all but I endured a few Bowden years of talented teams inexplicably losing to teams they should not lose to, the 6-7 seasons, the 70-33 humiliation in Miami, and five consecutive years of losing to Steve Spurrier as well as the painful lost to Pitt this season. This game was all for Clemson fans but I would like to think its especially for us who bore witness to those times and the program that Dabo has managed to forge out of it. We came further and faster than I could have ever imagined. Every big game Clemson was told they didn't have the tools to win; it turned out they did. We made it, we're here, National Champions. And, no, Clemson players are not a fraud.

Want to play us again Ohio, South Carolina, Alabama?

Nothing sweeter than beating Bama and there are many reasons why.

1. Nick Saban is a miserable asshole -

While it wouldn't be fair of me to judge his personality, there's no denying the fact the man lacks enthusiasm and has a stupid smug tattooed on his face at all times. I am a fan of ones who are never satisfied but golly, even when ya win the National Championship... he's still upset.


Could you smile just a little? You and your team won the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. Guess that's not worth smiling over though, is it?

2. Dabo -

He loves the fans and his players. He is one who hosts pizza parties and rocks the best dance moves. He also isn't shy about his core beliefs, making him even more lovable and the win a whole lot sweeter.

3. Deshaun -

He's life. He is not only the best quarterback in the nation, he is extremely humble.


4. SEC fans are an obnoxious breed -

It's hard not to hate SEC. They're attached to the most obnoxious fans and the most talented players.They're intolerable for plethora of reasons. They have dominated the football world and it sure is nice to dethrone them.

5. We beat Bama -

We wanted Bama and we got them! Alabama is one who kept winning.They dominated the world of football making it nearly impossible for any other SEC team to have a chance. It's obnoxious UNTIL YOU BEAT EM!


i'm sure it does, buddy. Roll tears roll.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
