when Kinsler hit that ball, I was like, “HOLLIDAY?!?!” because he was clearly going to catch it flat footed. Then I was all like, “HOLLIDAY!!!!” when he made that throw. Good times.

At this point it wouldn't be a true "Clemson" though.

Because a real Clemson comes about the 5th or 6th game against a lesser team and then they play about .500 or less the rest of the season. I would still be upset if we lost to Wake or NC State but I still wouldn’t call it a true Clemson. If we lose to GT I will not be as upset, it would just be sad.
