Reading the responses to my earlier post, it's obvious...

We're split into two groups, with two distinctly different mindsets. So which would you prefer:
Going 11-1 regular season, at the top of a good ACC and headed to the Championship game as well as a Top-10 finish, but losing to the Gaycocks?
Going 1-11, losing to Furman, Citadel, North Greenville, as well as the rest of a down and out ACC, but beating SC handily in their house, to finish the year?
Not that there's a right answer, and I'm certainly no expert - just genuinely curious. To be honest, I think we still finish this season 11-1, but I do have to admit there is a certain level of #2 that would be absolutely hilarious also.

Such an easy question it's not worthy of a answer from me! Watch the Tigers go winless except for that one game and you will see a program in its last days.

Way to take the extreme of both sides to try and negate people's argument. Nobody said they would be okay going 1 & 11, but then again, you already knew that. You're just carrying the water for these over paid, hack coaches, the same way a lot of you used to for that hack Bowden.

I am curious to know your affiliation with Clemson.

I hope you are right. It would disturb me to know a Clemson man is that ignorant.

You're an idiot & a C0ck-jerker Clemson hater...
stay off our board!!!
our "over-paid hack coaches" are doing this here because they want to & believe in Clemson & these players & our potential to be great again & greater than we have been for awhile.
they share the wealth just to keep the consistency with the staff to make us better & the 2 coordinators could easily be coaching elsewhere & leading their own programs making big money...
so you should wise-up & leave.
GO TIGERS!
you're the hack on this board!

Not at all, just saying - there seems to be two mindsets:

1) Beat Carolina above all else
2) Overall record makes the season, not the in-state rivalry.
I'm a little of both actually - I love these 10 win seasons, but I admit the 4 in a row has gotten old. I have a several family and friends affiliated with USC and don't know I can handle another year or their trash. Worse yet though is the all-of-a-sudden "we have to beat SC or Dabo needs to be fired" talk that just popped up. I admit that I like Dabo and will defend him, so maybe I'm a little biased, but as much as I try to understand the other side, I can't see how that one game makes or breaks a season.

I'm sorry but we haven't come close to beating Carolina in 4 years and I don't see that changing this year. We got them this year in the dumpster of South Carolina and it's just hard to have any confidence. A Florida shackling of the gamediks may change my mind a little bit, but I just can't see us stopping that run first QB of theirs.

if we could go 11-1, finish in the top 10, win the ACC and a BCS bowl....
Sorry, but that's no contest. And I live in Lexington where there are actually more coots than in Columbia on gameday.

Give me 11-1 & beats the coots. Get BCS other than Orange.

Much better than ACC champs for me. In fact, I will take that for eternity. Oh yea, and win the bowl for 12-1 finish........I bet the majority would take this.

The 11-1 season obviously

Would be much better for the program, and would be a lot more enjoyable season overall anyway.. beating South Carolina in 1998 didn't magically fix the rest of the season.

My stance is simple

Winning the USC game is more important to me than any other single game in the season.
But it doesn't make a bad season good and nor does losing to them make a good season bad. It can make a good season better or a bad season worse, but we should look at the overall season and judge.

Perfectly stated.

I can agree with that 100%. For the record, I asked my girlfriend (a HUGE Clemson fan as well - probably even more fanatical than me) the same question when I posted this - she laughed for a bit then thought about it and laughed some more. She still hasn't answered me.

to beat the Coots, but it isn't the MOST important thing. I wanted to quit playing them after the brawl in Lou's last year. I know that will never happen because it generates so much money, but we have no other reason to play them.
