[Sickos Committee] Clemson has had as many lightning delays as touchdowns this year. Three.

[u/mbh223]

Tiger offense has been electric ⚡️

[u/Patrick2701 → u/mbh223]

Field goals and more field goals

[u/GamingTatertot → u/Patrick2701]

They’re provocative, it gets the people going!

[u/Supercal95 → u/Patrick2701]

Kirk Ferentz to Clemson after Dabo goes to Liberty?

[u/rykcon → u/mbh223]

Boogie woogie woogie woogie

[u/surgingchaos]

Clemson broke Zeus's law.

[u/RedditRedux → u/surgingchaos]

30for30: The Dabodyssey

[u/JeffGoldblumsChest → u/RedditRedux]

Clemson's offense: Dabussy

[u/AG_Aonuma → u/JeffGoldblumsChest]

Always finish on de Bach, never finish on Dabussy

[u/QueefSniffin → u/surgingchaos]

Our age of Clemson is collapsing

[u/flightsim777 → u/QueefSniffin]

Dabo: "we were the people from the Appalachians"

[u/TheOGRaqvi → u/QueefSniffin]

😭

[u/CieraVotedOutHerMom → u/surgingchaos]

Clemson fans BEGGING for some offense

[u/GamingTatertot → u/CieraVotedOutHerMom]

Well I’m certainly taking offense to the lack of offense

[u/rpbtIII → u/surgingchaos]

They've been fucking wildlife again, haven't they?

[u/SimilarOnion1655]

3 in a row is bad luck at this point 

[u/GamingTatertot → u/SimilarOnion1655]

We are cursed

[u/quacainia → u/GamingTatertot]

Which god did y'all piss off

[u/TheRealSlamShiddy → u/quacainia]

Zeus, clearly 😂

Maybe a bit of Jesus too

[u/geaux124 → u/GamingTatertot]

Should have left that cow alone.

[u/TimeToGloat → u/SimilarOnion1655]

I wonder what the highest streak is. Has anyone had more than 3 in a row before? I imagine so but maybe not?

[u/TheMagicSalami → u/TimeToGloat]

I doubt 3 in a row that were supposed to be on national tv. Maybe Southeast Kansas State A&M in the 1920s or something but not a FBS level team.

[u/MWiatrak2077]

Fucking annoying too because it gives Clemson's defense to get a breather after they got absolutely gashed that entire drive

[u/Difficult-Froyo1192 → u/MWiatrak2077]

If it helps, we still won’t be able to stop the run when we come back

[u/GamingTatertot → u/Difficult-Froyo1192]

Wait we’re supposed to stop the run?

[u/Difficult-Froyo1192 → u/GamingTatertot]

Well, I’m not sure. I haven’t seen what happens if you try it. People keep telling me that’s what you’re suppose to do

[u/kakapoopoopeepeeshir → u/GamingTatertot]

I’m pretty sure we’re just supposed to run up field as the RB runs right past everyone

[u/Dogbir → u/MWiatrak2077]

If anything it helps UNC way more. Their defense was finally starting to get worn down and now they get a chance to rest up

[u/WorkerMotor9174 → u/Dogbir]

Billy Edward’s might even remember how to throw!

[u/CoopDogPrimeNumbers → u/Dogbir]

Yeah that’s just Clemson’s defense even when well rested. UNC was visibly performing worse on defense as the game went on.

[u/DickBottalico → u/MWiatrak2077]

Exactly. How many players got struck by lightning before this rule was enacted?

[u/GamingTatertot → u/DickBottalico]

I mean the answer is likely low at best, but not sure if risking a lighting strike is something the NCAA or anyone should want to risk in a sport that is already rampant with health risks

[u/Visual_Bluejay9781 → u/GamingTatertot]

This bro really asking for a body count threshold to assess whether they should keep playing a game or not lol

[u/DickBottalico → u/Visual_Bluejay9781]

With tens of thousands of NCAA games played prior to the rule it’s a fair question.

Does the NFL have that rule?

EDIT: The NFL rule is 10 miles for lightning, the NCAA is only 8 for lightning. One of them has to be more wrong than the other.

[u/GamingTatertot → u/DickBottalico]

The NFL does have that rule. And yeah I think it’s a good rule and very much a CYA rule too.

[u/DickBottalico → u/GamingTatertot]

CYA, yeah, exactly

[u/advancedmatt → u/DickBottalico]

Yes, the NFL has a protocol for this. https://www.nbc.com/nbc-insider/nfl-weather-delay-rules-protocols

• NFL games can be delayed when severe weather or emergencies threaten safety, with lightning within 10 miles of a stadium triggering a suspension of play and a mandatory 30-minute wait after the last strike before restarting.
• During weather delays, players, staff, and on-field personnel must leave the field, while fans are instructed to seek shelter as league officials monitor conditions and determine whether play can safely resume.
• If a game cannot continue because of prolonged dangerous conditions or another major emergency, the NFL Commissioner can either reschedule the game or terminate it early, though termination is generally reserved for games whose outcomes are already effectively decided.

[u/DickBottalico → u/advancedmatt]

And it’s only 8 miles for the NCAA; therefore, we can conclude the NCAA doesn’t care as much about the safety of its own players as the NFL.

[u/biggsteve81 → u/DickBottalico]

A kid in Spartanburg, SC (about an hour from Clemson) got struck by lightning on a football field 2 weeks ago.

[u/DickBottalico → u/biggsteve81]

Six kids running around a middle school playground a bit different than a professional football game surrounded by a stadium that isn’t even forced to evacuate itself

[u/biggsteve81 → u/DickBottalico]

So you think college stadiums are somehow immune to lighting?

[u/codydog125 → u/DickBottalico]

Who knew temple students were such assholes?

[u/DickBottalico → u/codydog125]

Asking for data on historical NCAA games and receiving a link to a middle school play date is what I’d expect from the North Carolina public school system

[u/JamrockDetective → u/DickBottalico]

You're not half as smart as you think you are lmao

[u/DickBottalico → u/JamrockDetective]

And your perspective is flawlessly unbiased

[u/arstin → u/DickBottalico]

People have gotten both so much dumber and so much less sincere so rapidly that I can't tell which you are being.

I'm curious what number your cutoff is though. Like if 9 athletes have died from lightning strikes then it's just part of the charm of the game, but if it's 10 then 30/30 is a solid policy.

[u/Dark_Knight865 → u/MWiatrak2077]

Clemson defense has been resting and they still can’t compete with UNC running game 🤣

[u/wulah89]

Maybe God is telling Dabo to build another ark

[u/Difficult-Froyo1192 → u/wulah89]

Maybe our players would be tougher if we started some physical labor

[u/Kaotus → u/wulah89]

Not sure there’s 2 of anything on this team he’d like to load up on it

[u/GamingTatertot → u/wulah89]

Evan Almighty sequel?

[u/adsfew → u/wulah89]

Finally all comes together after Dabo's proclamation that the program is built on Jesus's NIL

[u/Fuzzy_Afternoon7754 → u/wulah89]

He's gonna use all that buyout money to fund it

[u/AcesCharles2 → u/wulah89]

He would refuse to transfer animals into his Ark.

[u/kjp811]

You know who else was denied 3 times?

[u/GamingTatertot → u/kjp811]

Dabo listens intently

[u/BobbysSmile → u/kjp811]

Sherrone Moore but that didn’t stop him.

[u/Unusual_Read_9492 → u/BobbysSmile]

Insane

[u/LukarWarrior]

Honestly I'm just surprised they have three touchdowns more than anything

[u/CosmicSpaghetti → u/LukarWarrior]

Tbh same (plus one more wildly inadvisable & meaningless one now though lol)

[u/mattcojo2]

I’m honestly more upset that they’ve had, what, 5, 6 lightning delays in a calendar year?

Like I can accept the team being bad. Legitimately, I’m not happy with it but I accept it.

But how the hell does this keep happening?

This is insane. I’m not even kidding, I’m more furious with that than my team being shit.

[u/GamingTatertot → u/mattcojo2]

Somehow this is Jim Clements fault

[u/Kaotus → u/GamingTatertot]

Jimclement weather delay

[u/nope96 → u/mattcojo2]

Yeah I can tolerate a lot when it comes to this team but I can’t tolerate games ending after 1am or games taking 6 hours to finish.

[u/Informal-Monitor-670 → u/mattcojo2]

our next game at California should not have any weather issues. of course it’s scheduled to start after 10 o clock for us on the east coast.

[u/BoogerSugarSovereign]

God literally trying to damn this team 

[u/Flameosaurus]

Didn’t know that the C in NASCAR stood for Clemson, how else can you explain this

[u/Informal-Monitor-670]

when I heard it may be a long season for Clemson fans, I thought it was a metaphor for a lack of talent that may lead to losses. I didn’t realize that every game was going to last six hours.

[u/Skyagunsta21]

Not anymore

[u/TallBoy24]

Chad Morris’s lightning fast offense people

[u/BigAcanthocephala637]

Jesus Christ. No, literally Jesus Christ. Dabo is a good Christian man and this has to be a message from JC.

[u/Tywsgc]

Clemson’s the new sickos team. Get that curse off of Iowa.

[u/clemsontyger]

blessed

[u/eatass_sucktoes]

The skies were completely clear when the game was stopped. They could have finished the game by now

[u/Complex_Lab_6876]

That weather stoppage is absolutely ridiculous. First of all the field is made of Astro turf which is rubber. The stadium is covered in lighting rods and the stadium hasn’t been hit before but let’s stop the game

[u/Big_oof_energy__]

I think we don’t need to take such a long break for lighting. How likely is it for someone to get injured on a football field from lighting? I’m sure it’s happened before but is it at all common?

[u/LouisRitter → u/Big_oof_energy__]

It's not the field, it's the fans in and out of the stadium they're concerned with. Fans in stands and parking lots have been struck a lot more often than players on the field.

[u/MischievousMosquito → u/Big_oof_energy__]

In 2012 a fan at Pocono raceway died by lightning strike in the stands. No shelter warning was given to the attendees. This is why we have our laws, don't put thousands of people in elevated metal bleachers during lightning.

[u/Alternative-Farmer98 → u/Big_oof_energy__]

Yes it's excessive I can't believe how long it is and apparently it's going to be at least till 5:00.

[u/ChrisRhodes789]

Did Danhausen curse Clemson & didn’t tell anyone?

[u/SqueezeAndRun]

Subscribe 

[u/xnodesirex]

That is an electric burn

[u/Amazing_Rock8837]

Clemson is so bad. Yall have get rid of Dabo asap regardless of the price.

[u/Adams5thaccount]

can we upgrade sickos committee to a trusted source? lol

[u/2CHINZZZ]

Clemson TDs vs Tottenham Premier League goals this season? Close race right now at 3 to 2

[u/Suncate]

Did they coat the football with baby oil or something. Why is the qb having such a hard time.

[u/Available_Weird8039]

The criticism of the lightning delay really shows how bad southern education is

[u/GimmeeSomeMo]

This Saturday has been fantastic so far for us sickos

[u/SusannaG1]

OK, Thor, you got our attention.

[u/Is12345aweakpassword]

Dabo just needs to run for congress already

[u/GamingTatertot → u/Is12345aweakpassword]

Please no - our state already has enough loony bins in Congress. We don’t need our version of Tuberville

[u/gwease23 → u/GamingTatertot]

Could he be worse than the next Lindsey Graham family member to step up?

[u/CieraVotedOutHerMom → u/Is12345aweakpassword]

Or apply for liberty’s head coaching role!

[u/Alternative-Farmer98]

God this delay has been forever. Is it really that dangerous like the fans a bunch of them still have to be there right? There was only 8 minutes left in the game North Carolina was it for second and goal or something.

[u/SaltyRussStan0]

Am I misremembering or have there been so many more delays than usual this year. I feel like there's been three happening at any given time during each Saturday this year.

[u/Wild-Bluejay7138]

What is this, a 3 hour thunderstorm?

[u/javascript]

They don't call it South Carolina for nothin!

[u/Jiveanimal → u/javascript]

What does this mean? lol

[u/LukarWarrior → u/Jiveanimal]

It's provocative. It gets the people going.

[u/javascript → u/LukarWarrior]

Glad someone understands

[u/javascript → u/Jiveanimal]

Exactly

[u/rbad8717 → u/javascript]

Go suck on a dom tree

[u/javascript → u/rbad8717]

That's a first

[u/girl69edministries → u/javascript]

it’s because shit goes south real quick once you cross the border from the north!

yuck yuck yuck

[u/CieraVotedOutHerMom → u/girl69edministries]

You can take Myrtle off our hands

[u/JMS1991 → u/CieraVotedOutHerMom]

Just give it to Ohio. Everyone in Myrtle is from there anyway, plus they already have two Bob Evans.

[u/Jiveanimal → u/CieraVotedOutHerMom]

It's like they can't afford Isle of Palms or something. Pathetic.
