Georgia Tech Nips Clemson, 21-17

Georgia Tech came rolling into Clemson, South Carolina today with one goal in mind--to take advantage of the upheaval in the Tigers' program of late and beat them on their home field.

The game in Death Valley this afternoon proved to be a death blow for the Tigers as Georgia Tech nipped Clemson by a score of 21-17, putting the Tigers at 3-4 on the season.

Granted, Clemson was under enormous pressure today after this week's abrupt and unexpected mid-season 'resignation' of Tommy Bowden. The pressure proved to be too much for rookie Head Coach Dabo Swinney and his shell-shocked Tigers.

Today's loss will prove the end of the Tigers' hopes for an ACC championship and throw into question it's goal of going to a bowl game. The latter depends on how the Tigers fare for the rest of the season.

And thus, what began as a season of high hopes, expectations, and goals, is turning into one big disappointment for Clemson in seemingly its elusive quest for making it to the top.

Oh hell yes baby!

Honestly, I had little to no hope for a victory, but I can live with it now that we have it.

Congrats are in order, Linoge. Great game. I had hoped that Swinney could pull this off, but it was not to be.
