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."

Pulling an Erbland (verb) the act of ignoring your friends, or leaving them at a social gathering after a period of time, in order to pursue girls you have no interest in, except for casual conversation. This act can be done immediately upon arrival or can be done after approximately five minutes of being with your friends. The perpetrator will always tell you he or she will return in a little bit, however this is never the case, you should just say your goodbyes at the moment of departure, because you will not see them for several days after they have "pulled an erbland."
