A 24-10 win in Berkeley barely registers when the room has already scheduled its funeral for Miami week.
The emotional rollercoaster
Clemson fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Clemson went to Berkeley on a Thursday night and left with a 24-10 win, which moved the record to 3-1 and the misery needle from 47 to 45, roughly the emotional distance between a sigh and a shrug. The turning point was another injury, which one fan took as proof that "California truly is a foresaken land forgotten by God." Nobody celebrated. The group chat had already skipped ahead, bracing: "we are going to die against miami." Winning, apparently, just buys time.
What fans said
“But at least I didn't stay up until 2 AM to see a big L.”
