I Agree With Much Of What Tuco Writes

Especially this:
"Despite Clemson returning most of their offensive firepower, Auburn's defense held them to 399 yards and 19 points. For the first time since 2010, Auburn's defense didn't miss tackles. For the first time since 2007, the defense looked like Auburn. They made Clemson earn every yard. They broke up deep passes and limited gains on Clemson's short passing game. They held Deshaun Watson to 1.9 yards per carry and Clemson as a whole to 3.4.
The offense showed some signs of competency. Kerryon Johnson had 94 yards against a stacked box. The offense ran the ball well with JF3 in the game. They passed the ball adequately when Sean White was in. The freshmen receivers are very talented.
Kevin Phillips didn't allow a punt return all night. In addition to showing off his leg on a monster field goal, Daniel Carlson put the ball in the end zone all night. The coverage teams did their job.
Despite all that, I spent the last drive asking myself one question: if Auburn pulls this off, will I be satisfied? Clemson is #2. We know how good they are. On paper, it'd be a huge upset. If Auburn wins, will I be 2001 Auburn/Florida delirious?
The answer kept coming back, no.
I couldn't figure it out. Here Auburn is on the verge of a program changing wins, and the feeling in my stomach is closer to the feeling I had when Auburn was storming back to catch Georgia with Cam. When the second Hail Mary dropped to the ground, I didn't have any "moral victory," hey-maybe-we're-better-than-expected glow."
I don't think however we win by two touchdowns.

The line between "unpredictable" and " bizarre" must be a thin one

“Cheap grace is the grace we bestow on ourselves. Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession.... Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.” ― Dietrich Bonhoeffer,
