This brings up a question


Jun 1, 2010, 9:35 AM

Would you rather have a season in which we are great in football (Top 5 team), but stink it up in football and baseball, or like this year where we are good but not great in all three?

How are we going to be top 5 in football and stink it up in football?

how dare these facts disprove the insane ramblings of those who scream into the night that both are trying to destroy Clemson athletics

Stats like these are a joke. We haven't won #### in years and the chances of winning a championship in any of the major sports in the next year don't look that great right now.

well, if the pair of them isn't to be fired for being in charge of one of only 4 colleges in the United States who've been to consecutive bowls, consecutive NCAA basketball tournaments and consecutive NCAA baseball regionals the last two years, then for God's sake fire them before the Clemson golf team has a chance to win the National Championship...........again.

Oh yeah, did I mention the two of them stupidly led Clemson athletic teams to remarkable academic scores the last two years as well??? Send them packing immediately!!!!

But, but, but! Barker just wants to make us like Harvard


Jun 1, 2010, 4:07 PM

and TDP just wants to play golf and take naps! Neither cares about Clemson sports! They don't know what it was like in the good 'ol days! Bring back Danny! Clemson isn't as wonderful as it was in the 80s! Blah blah blah.

Who cares about participating...when are we going to win?


Jun 1, 2010, 10:11 AM

These stats like this that the AD throws out are meaningless. Who cares if we particpated in these? Did we win anything? No.

Clemson again trying to lower your expectations.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

This may hurt your head but... you have to win to get there.


Jun 1, 2010, 10:28 AM

That's why only 8 schools have done what we have done.

Why be great in 1 sport when you can be average in 3?


Jun 1, 2010, 10:33 AM

Nice philosophy.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Please explain how being in the company of 7 other schools


Jun 1, 2010, 4:09 PM

makes us average? If it were average, then roughly half of the schools would claim that level of performance or better. But instead, you only have 8 who can say that.

Next.

Championship triple


Jun 1, 2010, 10:48 AM

How about pulling off a national title triple.

Hell! I'll take 2 out of 3.

We keep patting ourselves in the back for something so minute, while others are winning championships.

I hope we have not come to the point where we're just satisfied to be mediocre!

Yay! One of 68 bowl teams & top 64 basketball/baseball teams


Jun 1, 2010, 1:18 PM

I get tired of TDP's PR department propping him up by spinning these absurdly contrived stats. Let me rephrase the propaganda...

Clemson was one of 68 football teams to go bowling. (57% of the 119 FBS teams go bowling.) Clemson hasn't won the ACC in 2 decades. But to their credit, they made it to the ACCCG.

Men's basketball team finished 5th in the ACC but became one of 65 NCAA tournament teams, where they lost first round (again). They haven't won the ACC in 56 years.

Clemson's (once-great) baseball team finished 4th in the ACC (again) this season with a 1-2 ACC tourney record. NCAA tourney results TBD.

TDP has achieved upper mediocrity in the big three sports.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

basketball 65/347 = 10% and 64/211 = 30%


Jun 1, 2010, 1:29 PM

so while 57% isn't impressive, 30% and 10% are

put all 3 together and its an impressive run, considering 2 years running.

I love it that being moderately successful in the 3 major sports pisses people off. I guess its championships or nothing.

Re: basketball 65/347 = 10% and 64/211 = 30%


Jun 1, 2010, 3:28 PM

you need to pull for another school, which would be easier than TDP going anywhere..

Here are the numbers I get:


Jun 1, 2010, 3:41 PM [ in reply to basketball 65/347 = 10% and 64/211 = 30% ]

Basketball: 65 out of 347 (19%)
Baseball: 64 out of 301 (21%)
http://web1.ncaa.org/app_data/weeklyrpi/2010MBArpi1.html
Football: 68 out of 120 (57%)

Postseason in all three: 8 of 120 (for football) (7%)
Or 8 of 347 (basketball) (2%)

That makes it more impressive


Jun 1, 2010, 4:22 PM [ in reply to Not all schools play all three sports - that changes numbers ]

since a large chunk of baseball and basketball schools don't even have a shot.

This stuff can be spun either way.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

How is it more impressive that less schools can actually do


Jun 1, 2010, 4:24 PM

it - do math much?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Spin? It is math.


Jun 1, 2010, 4:30 PM

Being 8 out of 100 is much less impressive than 8 out of 300 - you were tryingto "spin" that you could see the math both ways... uh... no.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

out of 350 schools only the elite 120 have a chance


Jun 1, 2010, 4:32 PM

and we are one of those 8.

yes I can spin that.

Just like you can spin an ACC championship game appearance as an unsuccessful season.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Clearly, Barker and TDP don't care about athletics and are


Jun 1, 2010, 4:03 PM

trying their best to ruin Clemson sports.
