Pulling a Clemson

The act of miserably failing towards the end of a task that was started with such promise. The phrase comes from many seasons in which the Clemson University football team starts off their season with huge victories, only to fall off completely at the end of the season to teams like Georgia Tech and get dominated by teams like NC State, South Carolina and West Virginia.

"Look. Clemson is pulling a Clemson again. They started off 8-0 and in the national title hunt, but they actually suck."

the act whereby an overrated football team builds up a big winning streak and artificially high national ranking by beating up on inferior competition, only to lose a bunch of games and get killed by truly good teams at the end of the season, thus exposing them for what they truly are.

"Clemson started off the 2011 season 8-0 and ranked as high as #6, only to 'pull a Clemson' and lose 4 of their last 5, get embarrassed by their rival South Carolina, and then give up the most points in bowl history to West Virginia in the Orange Bowl."
