This crap with SC saying they play a tough game every week


Nov 28, 2012, 2:32 PM

is crap, before playing Clemson they played 3 teams worth a crap, the other 8 games we no better than what Clemson played. So don't give me this is why you won, you won cause you have better talent on the defensive side of the ball. If SC didn't have Clowney, Clemson wins going away. Has nothing to do with you're in the SEC, cause why were you so dominated the previous 17 years?

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah but fact is, before them we played ONE team worth a


Nov 28, 2012, 2:36 PM

crap. And unfortunately we lost to them. So yeah I kinda have to give them the argument that they did play a tougher schedule than we did this year.

Florida > FSU
Georgia > GT
Vandy > Wake
LSU > VT
Tenn > NCSt
Ark > Duke

And so on... I hate it, but this year they have a leg to stand on with that argument.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

So what about FSU winning 3 in row before this year


Nov 28, 2012, 2:39 PM

SC also has been playing that SEC schedule for 20 years, yet Clemson has killed them since 92 before the last 4.

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: So what about FSU winning 3 in row before this year


Nov 28, 2012, 2:45 PM

Florida State only won 2 in a row before this year.

Florida won 6 in a row before that.

Speaking in terms of this year --- almost every conference team they played was better than every team we played --- except FSU.

I'd give Vandy the go ahead over anybody on our schedule. Vandy beat Auburn by the same margin we did. I know you can't compare, but it's something to think about.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Comparing the margin of victory of Vandy over Auburn....


Nov 28, 2012, 3:59 PM

doesn't really work when you consider LSU only beat Auburn by 2 points. And everyone knows that it was the first game when Clemson played them and they had a new offensive and defensive coordinator. Once the film was out on what they were doing, everyone killed them.

Vandy, Mizzou, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee were basically ACC teams this year. Ole Miss, Miss. St. and Auburn were too.

They had 4 major games on their schedule and went 2-2. Good for them. We had 2 and went 0-2. Not so good, but at least we didn't do like we have done in the recent past.

Tennessee (1 SEC win) beat NCST by two touchdowns, so Clemson played a give bad team before USC too.

Why is the USC played Wofford a valid excuse? We both played teams there weren't very good before the rival game.

Nov 28, 2012, 2:49 PM

coots play an fcs opponent before us, it's no excuse when we play a weak conference opponent before we play them. The reason we lost had nothing to do with them playing wofford. In fact they played terrible against wofford.

Nov 28, 2012, 3:57 PM

why is it just not that SC fans are saying it's because we play a tougher schedule? Before it was cause we played the orange crush. Which is it coots?

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Exactly….


Nov 28, 2012, 2:46 PM

Playing ECU, UAB, Vandy, Ark, UK, UT, Wofford, and Mizzou didn't make them a tough team. Our loss to them is more of a result of a change of culture with in Clemson Athletics and our fans becoming soft. Our fans aren't what they used to be. Our fans used to be very demanding of excellence in athletics. I remember after Clemson fired Hatfield and West in the 90's, we were known as fan base that demanded a lot. Now our fans sell tickets to gamecock fans, and have been hoodwinked by Prez Barker for 12 years now. Hoodwinked by a Prez that hired a fundraising puppet to be AD in TDP, then once TDP retires Barker hires another fundraising puppet, and there isn't one peep out of the Clemson fan base about a very dubious hire. In the prior 100+ year history of Clemson athletics what has happened under Barker would have been met with a whole lot of anger from Clemson fans and a whole lot Clemson fans ending their IPTAY memberships.

When you don't demand excellence, then you don't get excellence. And our fan base doesn't demand excellence. In fact there are a lot of Clemson fans that think when the Clemson vs SCU game is at Death Valley that it is nothing more than a family reunion with their coot uncles, cousins, aunts, in-laws, baby mamas, 3rd cousins of their in-laws, and so on and so forth.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Oh lord


Nov 28, 2012, 3:46 PM

You know why SC is better right now? Cause they have more talent on the DL. Why do you think we are hard on RN, Adams and Lawson? Take Clowney away and who wins this game? But as you can see Dabo is fixing that, also it doesn't help that we have 5 CB's out and 3 have to play every down, cause they are the only ones left. Yet you and Blue Caddie can't see that. you just want to fire everyone. 10-2 2 years in a row, doesn't show you it's getting much better and the culture is changing, then you're just bitter and have no clue.

it has to do with when the new money started coming in


Nov 28, 2012, 3:51 PM

with the new money comes new facilities and further investments into sports.

I cannot remember when the SEC deal was signed, but it did not take long after that for USC to pretty much defeat CU in any meaningful sport.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Uh Clemson's football facilities are much better than SC


Nov 28, 2012, 3:59 PM

right now. Clemosn has no problem competing with anyone with football facilities. So that is a crap argument as well. It would work if Clemson had bad facilities, but that isn't the case. Only way money is an issue is if SC is paying players like Clowney, which hey who knows.

Holtz was dominated by Bowden.


Nov 28, 2012, 4:04 PM

What is gonna happen when this talent is gone from SC and as you can see Clemson is getting the big time players on defense. #1 DT, #6 DT, Shaq Lawson who is a beast, 2 5 star LB's who will be juniors and much better, LB from OU who is suppose to be the best. Odaniel who is #3 OLB. #1 DT who is very high on us and will probably sign with Clemson who is a game changer he is so good. Carl Lawson who is high on us. See SC has gotten them while Dabo was just hired and starting to build things. Things run in cycles and SC got the players, but now Clemson is starting to get them. Does SC win that game without Clowney?

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Holtz dominated by Bowden. hence SOS>Holtz


Nov 28, 2012, 4:08 PM

I don't play what if when I can simply watch what actually happened. Heck, we used a 2nd team QB, 2nd/3rd team RBs and a point guard (again).

How much would you have bet on CU knowing Shaw wouldn't play a down and the losing team scored 17 points? You'd be homeless!!!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

SC's defense beat Clemson


Nov 28, 2012, 4:12 PM

also when Breeland went down, I wasn't so confident. We had 3 CB's on scholarship left, so i could throw on that. Guys can't play every single snap and stay effective. SC didn't do anything till second half. Ya'll bring up your injuries, but when we do it's excuses. We were playing with 2nd and 3rd string CB's. Does that not make a big difference

During the Tommy Bowden years, all south carolina fans complained that their team was too beat up after playing a SEC schedule. They didn't have anything left for Clemson. Now that they've won a few, it's because of their previous SEC games.

take him away and Clemson wins this game going away. They lose to Tenn without him. Give Clemson Clowney and do we have a loss this year. SC has gotten Mr football int his state every year, because they grew up SC fans. it's a cycle and you can see Clemson is getting there. We have Adams who is probably gonna pick Clemson who is a game changer

other good/serviceable DE that would also help defend. In fact, if you watch the game, Boyd was often flushed out by others and into JC's hands. The entire DL was dominate.

Out of 8 SEC games, only three were against perrenial powerhouse teams, Georgia (who obviously had an off night), LSU, and FLA, who both beat them. The rest of their schedule was filled with the likes of ECU, UAB, and Wofford (who gave them a ###### good scare). I'm convinced Vanderbilt and Tennessee would have beaten them without some very questionable no-calls/calls by Spurrier's officials. The rest Kentucky, Arkansas, and Missouri would be easy pickin's for anybody this year.
The LimpCocks just cannot play with the big boys of the SEC. The SEC has as many push-overs as any conference.

Nov 28, 2012, 3:53 PM [ in reply to The real question is, why has CU's O add no success ]

success or it caused you to lose to us as why? So that is the only reason SC lost to Clemson? No it's because we had better defensive talent, you do right now, but it's starting to turn back toward Clemson with LB gonna be loaded and a great one coming from OU to play this year and being said he is the best LB on the team. Adams who is a game changer is probably coming to Clemson, Lawson is high on us, Alexander is high on us. Crowder a stud Ol is coming. Clemson is very young on the OL and that was SC's strength. That is why you won, not because of schedule. Also please chose one of the excuses, cause you can't have too tough or tougher then CU when it suits you. No you have better talent
