Clemsoning or gamecocking?

Last time Clemson and SCjr enterented the season tio 10:
#8 Clemson lost by 24 pts in 2008 (when the term was first coined by gamecock fans on urban dictionary) to eventual National Champs Alabama. Oh, by the way, it was the first time now elite NFL WR Julio Jones took the field (before any team in the country knew how Bama would use him/had gane film on him in an Alabama jersey). Clemson finished out the regular season with a 7-5 record. Clemson hasn't lost a game since the 2011 football season to a team who FINISHED their year outside of the AP top 10.
#9 Gamecocks lost by 23 pts to an aTm team (@ home) in their first game without their best QB in school history. aTm went on to finish the regular season 6-6. Scjr finished out the regular season with a respectable 6-6 record as well. Gamecocks have dropped (off the top of my head multiples to non-ranked foes: UTjr twice, Kentucky twice, unranked AU, unranked UF).
Someone go get creative on Urban Dictionary in regards to this, and spread it like wildfire.
PS: There was also the defeat to the hands of an AU team on a neutral field (that Clemson took into OT AT auburn) by a wider margin of pts than the WVU/Clemson fiasco. Clemson's become a household top 15 program, while SC has been in steady decline ever since.

Clemsoning is losing to a team BENEATH you.

Not to mention , when the Clemson debacle happened in 08, the coach lost his job. The Coots are still bowing to the banner.

Yes but all of the Coot losses to unranked teams were to teams in the $EC , and we all know by now thanks to the kind folks up in Connecticut at ESecPN that they are at a different level than other teams .
So a team like Kentucky might have finished #55 in the country , but being in the $EC really places them around #17 as far as actual talent and awesomeness.
It's sort of a curved line .

when at 0-11 he convinced the #### faithful that they'd win any other conference, the SEC was just tough. ESecPN picked up on it and ran with it.

Losing to a team you know you should beat, hmm, can happen any given Saturday. The gameclucks will have their fair share of losses again this year, so let's come with a name contest for their losses since they think they should win every game. I choose cluck got PLUCKED, any have some fun, it's more than one way to cook chicken....... GO TIGERS !!!!

Gamecocking = Going 0-21 then

tearing down goal posts with the losing streak is broken by beating powerhouse New Mexico State.
Clemsoning was coined as a term to describe fluke instances when blocked punts etc. result in OT or 1 point wins for teams like Duke.
I can't recall Clemson ever losing to a I-AA team. I can remember several Coot instances of that happening.

We were preseason #8 in 2013 finished that season at #7 so I think it's fair to saying gamecocking.

Love "Limpcocking." Has to be a term announcers use without the "inappropriate language"
