For certain the most annoying! Especially when applied to other teams who are proclaimed to have, "SEC SPEED"! Like for example as a random-non-specific-example - Appalachian State!

of course you can't give more than 100% effort, but there are people that don't understand elementary school math that think you can. Why not give 120% effort or even 200% or 200,000,000% or 2x10^100% effort.

It's not other so much the phrase that's annoying as it is the fact that it is constantly misused.

"Generational quarterback"


Dec 13, 2019, 6:04 AM

There are currently about five 'generational QBs' around the country. Heck, Clemson has had two in a three year period. So, either the definition of 'generational' needs to change or the term needs to be dropped.
