The announcement people have waited for has been made at last: season right to be shown in prime time on ABC on August 30. The hype video depicts a battle between the Bayou Bengals and Bengals of the Blue Ridge, and let’s just say everyone went crazy in the replies.

First off, the Bengals of the Blue Ridge nickname was hilarious. Connor, aka Carolina Addict, responded with tears of laughter emojis along with the comment, ‘Bengals of the Blue Ridge 😂😂😂💀💀💀.’ Nathan Shipman added, ‘I like it!’ So, yeah, A+ for Clemson on their social media game.
That really set the mood for the hardcore fans already wanting to start planning their game-day shenanigans. Already going down in the comments, one of the legends, Touchdown Don, rallied the troops. ‘I plan to be in Death Valley, tickets or not at 8 am sharp,’ announced a user named stigguh. ‘I’m day drinking and hopefully screaming at the top of my lungs with 81,000+ of my friends by 8 pm.’ Touchdown Don responded, ‘Look out for Touchdown Don and friends raising all types of hell, we’ll see you there 🫡.’ The commitment of this guy is unmatched.
Then we got Drew already coming to terms with having no voice probably by the end of Monday: ‘Will call out of work Monday and skip my Tuesday classes,’ he confessed. Priorities.
Now, the mission to fetch the tickets from hell is very much on. ClemsonDill and Drippy Tiger69 are in search for seats, with Touchdown Don hyping them, ‘If you are reading this thread and have some tickets get our guy Dill and Drippy in the mf fight.’ Meanwhile, Lillian Clover entered the replies, offering some tickets that they themselves didn’t need–suspicious or legit? The Internet cannot decide.
Trash talk was inevitable. LSU pride, Shawn Gonzales, giving a jab: ‘Yeah okay buddy we lost two of those to a real ACC team.’ Clemson_Bubbles punched back, ‘And it’s first game BK😭 we ain’t scared’. Classic.
And sure enough, someone had to turn his attention to Rufus ‘Tater’ Washington about the game being on ESPN and not his sacred Bog Noon Kickoff. ‘Disgusting,’ he proclaimed. Never change, Tater.

The energy is real; the jokes are far from over; and August 30 is too far away. The game, whether you will have lost your voice, somehow find yourself missing work, or will just stand above the chaotic crowd, is already going to go down in history. Death Valley is a war zone; better stock up on earplugs and something that packs a punch.
