Oct 3 | Clemson

3-4 TEs... are we even traveling with 4 TEs to this game?

Well, Luatua is out, right? That leaves three active TEs on the roster I believe. So my guess would be no 4-TE sets lol

 

[ACamp1900]

Help me out,... Jones, Nick and who else??

Hounshell...who actually may be pretty important in a crap weather game.

Hounshell.

Hounshell

 

[ACamp1900]

Ah, yes,... thanks, forgot all about him.

 

[BGIF]

Read elsewhere that ND/Clemson officials talking about postponing or even canceling this game.

Clemson has no open date until after the season is completed.

 

[IrishLion]

Is it Hounshell?

 

[ThePiombino]

Clemson has no open date until after the season is completed.

Then I guess that if these discussions are actually happening, that they would be focusing on the cancellation portion. Hopefully it's BS.

Move the game to South Bend and our next meeting make it a Clemson home game. Not likely I know at this time but seems fair.

 

[ACamp1900]

Why wouldn't they just play the game earlier?

Making to much sense, probably TV commitments?

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

It's Hounshell bro

Not sure how they could pull that off within 32 hours at this point. I'm thinking they're going to have to go all-in on tomorrow in SC.

 

[ThePiombino]

Why wouldn't they just play the game earlier?

I think the weather is actually supposed to be worse earlier. I'm seeing HEAVY RAIN from ~7am-7pm then just RAIN from then on.

 

[gkIrish]

This goes without saying but if anyone sees something concrete about an outright cancellation PLEASE POST IMMEDIATELY and send me a PM if possible. Really appreciate it.

Oh ok, yesterday the reports that were shared here made it seem like the worst wouldn't hit until Sat night...

Midnight game at Clemson?

When?

Clemson has no open dates through NOV 28th and the ACC Championship Game is Dec 5th. First available Saturday would be Dec 12th.


The Army Navy game is Dec 12th so it's possible.

Count me in. I got nothing going on the following morning.

I meant the next meeting as in when they come to South Bend(2018?) change that to a Clemson home game.

My God. Can you imagine how sweet the tears would taste if Clemson won the ACC championship and then had to play an undefeated Notre Dame team before the playoff committee got a chance to meet? It would be especially delicious if we won and took their playoff spot.

 

[gkIrish]

With the injury luck of both teams I don't know if they could field a squad of 22 scholarship players in December...

Great point - this is EXACTLY why I don't think they would agree to rescheduling then.

I could see them and the ACC both avoiding that scenario. Great excitement for such a situation but too much face for the ACC to lose and for ACC member hatred after an ND win.

I suspect they'd duck behind Bowl season starting the following week, Dec 19th, and ahem, with semester exams, there wouldn't be adequate practice time before the bowl games.

If cancelled permanently Clemson would have played 12 games with the ACC CG while ND would have only 11 presenting the Selection Commitee with a dilemma.

Move it to Atlanta, play in the Georgia Dome.

Especially with this POSSIBLY being one of our two toughest matchups of the year. ND NEEDS this game way more than Clemson does. Another reason I think this happens tomorrow or not at all.

 

[ThePiombino]

Move it to Atlanta, play in the Georgia Dome.

They already have a game 3:30pm that day, and NFL game the next day. If this was tournament basketball, maybe, but no way the logistics would work out.
