"Shakin the Southland" shaking apart?


Jun 25, 2014, 10:11 PM

Looks like the proverbial suicide note posted today on STS ... "Goodbye Cruel World", etc., etc.

Will you miss them??

Sounds like it's her time of the month

Never been a fan of whining.

A group of guys with bad attitudes who think they know more


Jun 25, 2014, 10:20 PM

than everyone else, including coaches who make a lot more than a cable bill...

What's to miss?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

A group of guys with no connections, no insides sources,....


Jun 25, 2014, 10:39 PM

nothing but cutting and pasting from How To books on football.

Sounds like Finebaum after the Sugar Bowl


Jun 25, 2014, 10:41 PM

And then again after the NCG. LOL at Finebaum and the STS gyna writer.

I liked STS for their football IQ, however....


Jun 25, 2014, 10:39 PM

they seemed to be negative just for the sake of being negative. I don't mind criticism when it's warranted, but I hate it when people are negative just to "be cool".

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

They didn't have a football IQ....


Jun 25, 2014, 10:42 PM

they just copied and pasted from How To books about football. The knuckleheads even posted a pic and blog about route receiving that was from the USA Football website, which was formed by the NFL to unify standards for youth football. So STS was posting route receiving blogs from instructions that were intended for children just learning football.

Does this mean there's just not enough stuff


Jun 25, 2014, 10:40 PM

going on in Clemson's athletic dept to b*tch about??

I very, very seldom visited the site (always from a link), but EVERYTHING I read there ranged from extremely negative to downright stupid.

I've been to that site twice - counting today - so big loss to me. I wish them well. They can come here and teach us the game.

Re: "Shakin the Southland" shaking apart?


Jun 25, 2014, 10:48 PM

^^^ so NO big loss to me

Giving up football to go write for the Lifetime Network?


Jun 25, 2014, 10:51 PM

Sounds about right.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That royally sucks. I liked that site


Jun 25, 2014, 11:14 PM

Did I like everything they wrote? No but I don't like everything Tigernet writes either. I'm going to miss their insight into both players as well as game breakdowns. And I know I'm going to miss QuakingTiger and his recruiting updates.

One less Clemson site to visit.

Re: That royally sucks. I liked that site


Jun 26, 2014, 9:08 AM

QuackingTiger was their best writer. He'll still be around.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I agree. Their opinions made for a well rounded view


Jun 26, 2014, 11:00 AM [ in reply to That royally sucks. I liked that site ]

of Clemson sports. I didn't always agree with what they said, but understood where the points were coming from. The insight and film review were always great, and something that I'll miss. Also the pre-game roster comparisons and the views from opposing team sites. Right now it's just DrB leaving, but I guess we'll see the fall out soon.

Re: "Shakin the Southland" shaking apart?

I'll miss them. Sounds like SB Nation was making them be something they didn't want to be. His post had some interesting insight into how some websites are run. I've never thought these websites made much money but I didn't know it could be so little.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He sounds like a spoiled little sh!t that isn't getting his


Jun 26, 2014, 9:49 AM

way. If he didn't like the direction that SB wanted them to go he shouldn't have signed on....

Question....does anyone know if that was his full-time job? I'm curious about this statement "I'd much rather play golf and post when I feel like it".

Who wouldn't want to play golf instead of working???

Re: He sounds like a spoiled little sh!t that isn't getting his


Jun 26, 2014, 11:23 AM

I vaguely remember someone mentioning that the site was actually run by an engineer and a scientist (they were being serious)...so I believe he's one of those two guys since he was the head of the site.

Not sure how he sounded spoiled. He mentioned that SB Nation started out as a blog for teams whose only "shared" thing was a common template. However as SB Nation has grown in popularity, they've tried to force the individual team sites to conform to what SB Nation thinks they should be. I believe they've been around for 6+ years now, so things change. I don't blame them at all for not necessarily want to conform to what the HQ wants them to be.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I honestly didnt know that site existed till earlier this


Jun 26, 2014, 10:37 AM

year. I have issues with anyone who cant see past their own personal feelings, be it a sunshine pumper, or a dumper. They werent truth tellers...they were flat out dumpers. Somewhat knowledgeable, but couldnt get past their own feelings to see what was actually going on.
