Heres the difference I see between Clemson and UofSC football

In todays Post and Courier the tout for UofSC football wrote:
“Outstanding season, despite the ending.
Nobody expected 9-4, first because it's South Carolina football (now eight seasons of nine or more wins in 131 attempts) and second because at 3-3, thoughts of the Gamecocks winning six straight and becoming the hottest team in the country would have been issued with butterfly nets.
Dusting off the mortarboard and finalizing the ledger to grade the Gamecocks (9-4, 5-3 SEC)”

Clemson ended the season 10-4, won the ACCCG and made it to the CFP for the 7th time (one behind Bama), and has three National Championships! The 2024 season is considered by many on this board a “bad” season for Tiger football. Maybe the 17-14 loss to UofSC does make it so. But the 2024 season was Clemson's 20th 10-win season in school history! By contrast, UofSC has had 4 10-win seasons in 131 years!

I think Bowden summed it up when Spurrier went 7-5 and got a raise. Bowden quipped that 7-5 at Clemson will get you fired!

One school accepts mediocrity and one doesn’t.

GO TIGERS!

The biggest question about SC is can they consistently win 9 or more games. The current model they are using to replenish their roster has worked so far, but is it sustainable? Time will tell if the transfer portal is kinder to them than this year’s Florida State team.

Gamecocks have done nothing except for one 9-win season. They haven’t done squat otherwise. That doesn’t mean their current model is working. They lose 40 players including the entire front 7 on defense. Let’s see if they can repeat at least 9 wins before you say their model is working.

They're bringing in a pretty good class and hitting the portal rather well. From what I can recall, their schedule is more favorable than last year. I see them winning 8 games. Possibly 9. I sure as he'll hope not.

In hindsight, I'll stick with my prediction of 8 wins for the dirtpeckers.

Agree but we are yet to see if Beamer can sustain success with this large portal emphasis . Problem is he beat us on the field , beat us in recruiting pretty badly , and has so far beat us in the portal recruiting as well . Is it sustainable ? We will see

I wouldn’t say Beamer “beat us bad” in recruiting. Numbers, yes they have 26 and Clemson has 15. Player ratings Clemson is the clear winner

It is about expectations. SC was picked to win about 4 games. It is unquestionable that their season was a success. Clemson's past national championships have nothing more to do with the 2024 season than UGA'S past titles.

You just made his point. The expectation for SC was maybe 4 wins this season. When was the last time anyone expected Clemson to only win 4 games?

In that case, UGA had a catastrophic season I guess.***

Yes they did……..at the beginning of the season they were coots……..4 months later, they were still coots. The epic tragedy endures.

"They ain't Alabama. They ain't LSU. And they're certainly not Clemson. That's why Carolina's in Chapel Hill and USC's in California and the university in this state always has been, always will be Clemson."

You do know you’re expected to win more games when you play in a weaker conference?

Pitt lost 7 games in a row to finish the season and that was your toughest competition. Talk about mediocrity

Pathetic. Clemson is by far and away the better program historically. A 3 point win by the gamecocks doesn’t even begin to put a dent in that.

South Carolina fans met at the paw for the second time in a row. It was embarrassing. It was infuriating. That alone makes the season a failure.

Dabo is now 9-7 against a team that the board says is a dumpster fire every single year. Something not adding up. Since I am a die hard Clemson fan that now automatically puts me in the "next year" club. That used to be reserved for the dirt ###### fans but now we have our own group.

if by some miracle they defeat OSU(and I hope they don't bc they are our recruiting foe now moreso than OSU... unfortunately), their title should have an asterisk permanently attached to it.
