Not quite agony to ecstasy. But there were plenty of wild emotions on a wild and emotional rivalry weekend.
Clemson’s paw logo at midfield had barely recovered from its whipping – when South Carolina fans took belts off their pants and “whipped” the logo in some sordid and moronic demonstration of decades of frustration – when Syracuse did what some thought was impossible and defeated Miami, sending Clemson to the ACC Championship Game.
Happiness, yes. Ecstasy, no. There are still issues (and I am not sure they can be corrected this season), but the Tigers can break into the College Football Playoff with a victory over SMU on Saturday in Charlotte.
