Dang. When Clemson cut the lead to three, I allowed myself to hope. For about six seconds, until they lost track of Maye and he buried the dagger.
And our friend Klemmie disappears back into the mists hoping to return someday...

The normal ACC rotation would have Clemson @UNC only next year, BUT the ACC has to expand to 20 games. "Surprise" changes are coming. Count on UNC @ Clemson for the third year in a row along with 2 games v. Pitt and 2-3 other of the rotating bottom feeders. If Clemson gets Zion Williamson, the chances of no game in Chapel Hill go up exponentially. The 2019 ACC schedule is unannounced, but the rest of those predictions are for another thread.
Clemson losing in Chapel Hill is the only streak that UNC has left after 8-20 2002. It's worth much more to UNC than they will ever admit. ESPN already had 2-3 tweets about it.
They should hang a banner.
Monday: Klemnop, feeling renewed enthusiasm for hoops, posts on DBR
Tuesday: UNC toys with Clemson, as usual
Saturday afternoon: Clemson’s best player tears ACL effectively ending any chance of a meaningful end to the season
Saturday evening: Top recruit “shocks the world” by picking Duke over Clemson
Sunday AM: Klemnop flogs self for tempting the Weaux Gods by having posted on DBR in the first place. What a horrific week.
Congrats on getting Zion. We see the same dynamic in how Dabo attracts the top football players to Clemson so I can’t begrudge when basketball players do the same. It sucks for the also-rans, but I get it now.
I’m going to go crawl back into my miserable little hole, now. See you guys again in a few years.

Hope you stick around Klemnop and I'm sorry. This news about Grantham's ACL is just awful and awful timing.
I posted this in ACC thread -What an awful week and day for Clemson. I think many of us would have been happy for Clemson to win Zion. I mean we're ecstatic with the shocking announcement for us, but it just sucks for Clemson and I feel for them.
I'll keep cheering for your Tigers in football. I mean I love Duke football and will always cheer for us first. But Clemson is on a different level, I love Dabo, and hope to see them dominate the SEC.
