Fat And Sassy

If there ever is a coach that could figure out how to get their team up for every game Coach K from Duke is as close as they get in modern basketball or any sport for that matter.

Clemson already having clinched  a spot in the ACC Championship and they came to Raleigh to play a team that has it's moments of greatness and then their moments of down right awful.  Today the great N C State show up in the second quarter  and Clemson the seventh rated team in the land of college football looked intimidated .

Now lets look at a few facts  that seem to be common of average teams.  They have their moments of greatness, then they have moments of pure mediocre.  What all average teams have in common is when they get on a roll and win five or six games in a row they are going to also lose five or six in a row somewhere.

There was a time when Clemson was a national power but the last 25 years or so they have been one step above average.  They have had three comeback wins this years of 12 points or more which if they had of lost any of them they would be about where an average team would be.

State Carolina, East Carolina all fall in the average category.  You know another trait of an average team is they are great this week and bad the next.  Injuries effect an average team more than programs that excel every year because average teams don't have a lot of wiggle room .  An injury here  and there and they can't come up with enough healthy players to even be average.

Next week State can clinch a bowl game against one of the bottom of the barrel teams in the ACC. After this week's great performance don't count on one next week   Since Maryland has become the Oregon of dumb uniforms just maybe they will do like Clemson.  Wear some sort of concoction that have that faded blue in it like State thought that Clemson had on today.  If that happens they may go bowling.  If not another disappointing loss from and average team.
