Beasley & Clowney 4 Yrs Ago...


Jan 15, 2014, 9:50 PM

Who would have believed four years ago that Clemson would be the team with a First Team Pre Season All American DE going into the '14 season?

No.1 pick, and the best player on your team for 2 years now. Vic was overshadowed by Sammy, Tajh, and Nuk, not to mention last year was his first year playing full time. Of course he's a bigger name now. But I still think Vic will garner his fair share of attention

No but it did get us a top 5 bcs finish, which is something Clemson has never accomplished.

This how you won in "81"
Danny Ford Era: 1978–1989: On November 21, 1982, the football program was placed on probation for a 2-year period to include the 1983 and 1984 seasons. This sanction was enforced on the program by the NCAA Committee on Infractions due to a lengthy history of recruiting violations to gain an athletic advantage that had taken place from 1977 through the Tigers' 1981 National Championship season and into 1982, under the administration of two head coaches, Charlie Pell and Danny Ford. Over 150 documented violations were found to have been committed under NCAA bylaws in the categories of improper recruiting inducements, extra benefits to student-athletes, ethical conduct, improper financial aid, improper campus visits, improper transportation and entertainment, improper use of funds, improper employment, improper recruiting contact, and distribution of cash to players by members of the coaching staff.[1] As a result of these violations, Clemson was publicly reprimanded and censured by the NCAA. The football team was barred from participating in bowl games following the 1982 and 1983 seasons, and barred from appearing on live television in the 1983 and 1984 seasons. Also, the number of scholarships that the university could allocate to football players was restricted to 20 (from the normal limit of 30) for the 1983-84 and 1984-85 academic years. Charles Alan Wright, chairman of the NCAA Committee on Infractions said at the time, "Due to the large number and serious nature of the violations in this case, the committee believed that institutional sanctions related to appearances on television and in postseason football bowl games were appropriate. In addition, because the violations indicated a pattern of improper recruiting activities, the committee determined that a two-year limitation on financial aid to new recruits should be imposed to offset any recruiting advantage that was gained improperly by the university."[2][3] Just five years after their probation ended, Clemson once again found their football program accused of multiple recruiting violations in January 1990.[4] The NCAA accused Clemson of giving cash to players and having illegal contact with recruits over a period from 1984 to 1988. In June 1990, the Tigers found themselves on probation once again, for the second time in less than a decade.[5] This chain of events contributed, in part, to the forced resignation of popular head coach Danny Ford.[6] After a few years away from coaching, Ford was hired by the Arkansas in 1992, where he would spend five seasons guiding the Razorbacks.

Only the mouthbreather bandwagons fans don't know who Beasley is. You can keep those.

Serious college football fans know exactly who Beasley is and recognize his impact on a vastly improved Clemson D-line.

I know he said he would never lose to Clemson so he has that going for him. That and about to be top 5 pick and a multimillionaire.

Doubt he would trade anything he and the team has accomplished in his 3 years for anything you guys have accomplished during his time at Carolina.

Think he would qualify for a div 1 school. . Then when he got into trouble at 5 points, I didn't think he would have the fortitude to stay out of trouble. I was proven wrong on both.

Sort of like when your top 10 pick got into a little trouble, I didn't think he would make it but what is a little pot and prescription drugs to a college kid?

See, both had their brushes but both made it and now have a chance to have a very good life. Hope Watkins goes high in draft and has great life, just like I hope the same for Clowney.

To all of my Family at the University of South Carolina, Fans, Coaches, Media, and above all my Teammates,

I want to thank all of you for the love and support that you have shown me in my years at the University of South Carolina. I have been blessed to have attended the University of South Carolina, and I will forever be a Gamecock. It is hard to believe that the years have gone by so fast and my time here has come to an end, but I will always carry you with me in the NFL and wherever I go in life. I am extremely excited about the opportunity to play in the NFL. This dream would not have been possible without each and every one of you, and you will always be in my heart.

Thank You,
Jadeveon Clowney #7
