So youve got basically this moist air mass thats kind of wedged in hear. Very stagnant. So this frontal boundary is stationary. Its just sitting there. And you get these lows to develop along, it bridges the the moisture up from the gulf and atlantic. And we dont really have anything to help this jet stream lift north or help this frontal boundary kick out of here. And allow this High Pressure to release its grip on the southeast.

Now watson and his team get the chance to show his country why theyve been touted the best on thursday. That means a lot. And show what were about and how were really rock and how we really roll. So its a great opportunity for us, to, you know, be able to, you know, show what clemson is all about. Now despite holding the number one spot for the past two months, the tigers still head into thursday as the under dog. Many believe clemson isnt at true number of one today giving their schedule and their close calls this season, but espns play by play announce, begs to differ. I dont think nationally anybody buys is anymore. Because they have just done too much. Beaten too many good teams and to be undefeated in this business, its just incredible and i dont care what their schedule was like. No, clemson cant play the under dog role. They know theyre the Number One Team in the country and they want to the stay there.

And if someone has an off night, others will be there to step in. I would say its the upper classman leadership. If someone has a bad day, the other person has to step up and help the team. Because obviously going for the win. So, you know, once you see one of the main players having a bad day, you kind of want to pick it up. Come on, lets go. Make another shot. Everything will be fine.
