Syracuse week is a special week here at STS, not because it’s normally a particularly buzz-worthy game but because the Clemson-Syracuse matchup became the most unexpected, hate-filled “rivalry” in the new look ACC. Most of the buzz this year though has centered around a certain quarterback development and I for one am happy to have a game which requires my focus here at the end of a stressful, dramatic week.
The Clemson-Syrcause hate has flowed since their ACC arrival in 2013, exploding on our end after Scott Shafer’s sideline hissy fit that year, and of course after last year’s result.
