I can remember a few times..

Clemson has been hyped up like this. Not necessarily to win the National Championship but to win the conference. Then a terrible thing happened to us, the season started and we got a Wet Willy.

Reality has a way of slapping you in the face. Sometimes it can actually hurt a team to get hyped up, I think that would explain why when we get into the top 10 it doesn't last long. "We have arrived" mentality. I think both of us have experienced it in the past.

Of course this is not Clemson these are "The Gamecocks" so I think you guys will be fine.
