I just went to lunch at The Lighthouse on Lake Keowee and got stuck talking to some guy beside me at the bar that had just moved down here from Chicago. Dude literally talked to me during my entire lunch break. He tells me his family are big Notre Dame fans. He says he's wanting to adopt Clemson as his new team but he hates Clemson because we lose to no-name teams every single year and can never live up to expectations.
I reply, "We are the only team the past 4 years to finish higher in the final poll than the preseason poll. How is that not meeting expectations?"
He says, " yeah, but y'all always have a loss to some no-name/unranked team like Florida Gulf State at the end of the season"
I reply, "Clemson has won like 18 games straight by double digits over unranked teams. Only Bama has a longer streak."
Dude just kept interrupting me the entire time I'm spitting facts at him and keeps telling me that we lost to some crappy team from Florida two years ago. I tell him, "yeah Florida State, the team that won the national title that year.
Apparently, The Lighthouse makes a fantastic Sweet Potato Soup
