I saw your posts attempting to downplay our opening game as a tournament win because the field was expanded from 64 to 68 teams. And I quote: "won a tournament game ≠ what it meant last year". Here's a suggestion... why don't you worry about your Gamecocks and their penchant for exaggerating the significance of sports achievements. You guys are the all-time champs.
(1) All of your websites and official media guides tout the "3 straight Sweet Sixteens" from the McGuire era (1971-73). But the term "Sweet Sixteen" didn't even exist back then, because the NCAA field was was only 25 teams total. Getting to the final 16 teams didn't become significant until the field expanded to 64 teams in 1985, and you had to win a couple games. In fact, in 1971 you started the tournament in the "Sweet Sixteen"...
http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/ncaa-tournament/brackets/historical/1971/DI
And you lost to Penn in your opening game. That's right - you didn't even win one game in the tournament, but claim a "Sweet Sixteen" appearance. That's an obvious and blatant attempt to claim some success that never happened. Your media folks are hoping that people are either too stupid or too young to realize how bad you're spinning that.
==============
(2) NIT "National Championship". Enough said. LMFAO.
==============
(3) "Lou Holtz led USC to back-to-back New Year's Day bowl wins". That's funny, I've never heard of the New Year's Day Bowl. Obviously trying to elevate the Outback Bowl into something it's not, a reference to when the major bowls (Rose, Sugar, Orange, Cotton) were all played on New Year's Day.
So why don't you go clean up all the outrageous Gamecock spin, and let us worry about Clemson.

I agree. Calling the UAB win a tournament win
Mar 21, 2011, 10:36 AM

to me is just like the NCAA changing the name of division 1 football to "the bowl championship series". To me it will always be Division 1 or the only division in NCAA sports where the NCAA, or some strange reason, can't seem to figure out how to design a playoff to determine a championship series.
And I'm glad Clemson beat UAB but I've been calling those games the "play in B*tch games" all week.

LOL, "reference post" and the "reference" is your own post which essentially says, "Yes it was!"

...that if Classof09 ever opens his mouth here again, feel free to ask him if Dark side of the moo has given him permission.
That is only fair and proper, because there is no doubt that Dark side absolutely owns him.
Well done, sir!

he tried to justify an act with similar acts.
In the same thread I even said it wasn't as lame as our NIT Championships, and whatever else he posted was well before my time.

so your saying being placed in the play in game and then losing in the next round is more impressive than just being seeded higher, not having to play the play in game and losing in the same round?

crap of 64 vs 68 teams, and what does and does not count as a tourney win, and all that. But first, how about you and Classof09 address all the mighty exploits of your Gamecocks? Please thrill me with stirring tales of all those fantastic wins as you (didn't) march to "3 straight Sweet Sixteens" when the entire field consisted of 25 teams. I want to hear all about the legendary gridiron greatness of the "back-to-back New Year's Day bowls" in which your opponent was not even ranked in the final polls.
Ehh... you can skip the NIT national championships ... that would be cruel and unusual.
You go first.

basketball first: I agree with you that calling it the "sweet 16" before it was called that is weak, but I don't think the fact that there was less teams back then takes away from the accomplishment of being one of the last 16 teams in the playoffs, maybe we didn't have to play our way there in the tournament, but it was obviously much harder to get in back then.
New Years day Bowls - Not neccesarily something we should be bragging about. I don't think it means nothing, because the new years day bowls are still decent bowls and better than most of the crap bowls out there, no one claims it means as much as it used to.
NIT championships - That's just a joke I can't defend that at all.. I wish we would take that banner down.

Not saying I necessarily agree. I still say there's a great deal of spin involved in order to exaggerate those accomplishments... a deliberate effort to make them sound better than they really are...
But still, a fair and reasonable response.
