    We play all those teams from time to time.....

    Last time we played LSU was 96... Alabama, '08, Georgia, 2003 (We just picked them up on an annual rotation.) We played TCU at their best, and was the only team to take last year's national champ to OT.

    Clemson is the only school that no matter what they do, people come up with some rationalization of why it doesn't count. Give it up. Ok, at 4-0 You might have said a little luck was involved, but at 8-0 and beating 3 top 25s (one of which kicked the crap out of SCar the next week) I'd say they are pretty "legit"

    The guys are awesome this year, they have played their hearts out, and deserve where they are at. The right talent, coaching, and community support has come together and vaulted this years team to excellence.

    You cooter fans are used to a legacy of mediocrity, no tradition, and always hiring has been coaches hoping they have that one last spark in them. Your history of being a basement SEC team does not reflect our team in any way.

    If your alumni association would spend some of the PBR/Bail Bond fund on improving your facilities and hiring a modern coaching staff, you wouldn't always be riding the coattails of the two SEC teams that actually are worth a darn. Heck, even teaching your fans to use trash cans and not use the stadium as a urinal would help.

    Some top notch players still pick cooter-U for some reason so the talent is there, but they are some of the poorest coached players in division 1 football. I've never before understood how a Heisman award winning quarterback is the poorest judge of quarterback skills in the NCAA.

    They also have no pride in their team, school, or anything else other than themselves. Anyone who would deface their own campus, commit crimes en masse, and generally be a nuisance to the population at large shouldn't be allowed to play for any school. Not be told "don't do that again" and allowed to play. When they are all on parole, and halfway play as a team, they manage to do pretty decent.

    So, in the words of more enlightened people than I.. "GET THAT JUNK OUTTA HERE"

    And before you retort "WE BEAT YOU 2X IN A ROW" I refer you to the years before. I'll help you. SCar has only won the game 5 times in 15 years.... That was the first time two in a row has been done since 1969. Get over it. It happens. And one day, when you win 3 in a row... That's called a streak.

    Sorry, I know... foreign concept.





    Clemson. A tradition of Excellence (and allowing USuCk to win every few years so they don't get mad and not want to play anymore.)

    Clemson v other conf
    ACC: 59.6% 307 W 206 L
    SEC: 41.3% 112 W 162 L

    Carowhina
    ACC: 44.8% 194 W 241 L
    SEC: 34.3% 83 W 163 L





    Not only is our winning percentage (while not great) better than yours, we've played more SEC opponents than your team


    Common current SEC opponents
    Alabama
    Clemson 3-12
    Carolina 4-11

    Auburn
    Clemson 11-34
    Carolina 1-8

    Florida
    Clemson 3-9
    Carolina 5-23

    Georgia
    Clemson 17-41
    Carolina 15-46

    Kentucky
    Clemson 5-8
    Carolina 14-7

    LSU
    Clemson 0-2
    Carolina 2-16

    Mississippi
    Clemson 0-2
    Carolina 7-8

    Mississippi St
    Clemson 1-1
    Carolina 7-6

    Tennessee
    Clemson 6-11
    Carolina 5-22

    Vanderbilt
    Clemson 1-4
    Carolina 16-4

    Clemson is 65-39-4 against Carolina...so if we're so terrible and play such lousy teams...what does that say about Carolina

    Now lets move to current ACC teams
    Duke
    Clemson 35-16
    Carolina 17-24

    FSU
    Clemson 7-17
    Carolina 3-16

    Virginia Tech
    Clemson 17-12
    Carolina 11-7

    Wake Forest
    Clemson 58-17
    Carolina 34-20



    Now while, Clemson is NOT Alabama, we are not so mired in mediocrity that we have to live vicariously thru the rest of our conference for success

    Auburn had just gotten better as the year went on. Carolina bout beat them to just like clemson bout did. And still CLEMSUX. Next year or year after look for Carolina getting a new coach. They dont never stay. Which its better for Spurrier to leave anyway. Cause he is going to get older and get confused. If we beat Clemson this year. I think Clemson is going to find them a new coach. Lattimore will be back out there when we play yall we will drug him up with pain killers.

    Disclaimer: I'm a total homer.

    There's no school in the country that can hand with LSU and Alabama. The winner of Nov 5 will win the national championship, unless key players are injured along the way.

    CBS moved the game to prime time. I got a ticket. I'm counting the seconds.

    I believe Alabama makes money on Basketball (and I know they make money on gymnastics). Not much on either, but just saying.

    You have a losing record to Kentucky and you've never beaten Ole Miss.

    YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID!!!

    USuCk doesn't have the money to buy out Spurrier's contract. You guys would owe him like 40 Mil.

    So Auburn sucked when they played Clemson, then became the ultimate powerhouse two weeks later when they played the coots... That's amazing. In that same time I guess Clemson got worse?

    And here I was wishing you guys would stay ranked so we would have a two tombstone year..

    I already hear the "But Lattimore and Garcia..." that will follow the impending implosion after finishing 7-6 after going to the Compass Bowl to be whipped by whatever bottom of the row Big East team shows up.

    Garcia never was, and Lattimore is now a never gonna be. I really hate it for Lattimore, he had a lot of potential, but the old ball coach ran him into the ground. two bad knees? He won't ever be the same. His explosiveness and ability to stick and turn will forever be lost. Sad actually.

    I hear you guys might get a good recruiting class next year if they can get out on good behavior.....

    :anonymous:

    again...i'm NOT touting Clemson as a NCAA powerhouse and I'm excited as hell that we have done what we've done so far this year...i'm envious that you get to go to the LSU/Bama game...helluva game to have a ticket to

    The last time we played Ole Miss was in 1933, which was the same year your team tied them 0-0

    The bottom line is that USC fans clinging to the fact that they play in the SEC (which is indeed, normally a NCAA juggernaut) and saying that Clemson cannot hang is a silly argument, because as a whole, Clemson has done better in both the ACC and SEC than Carolina has

    That's all

    NOTHING MORE

    neglect, mostly.
    not a chance. those are called "non revenue sports" for a reason. i'd even go as far as to bet U-Conn womens b-ball still loses money.

    this is the expense report for the university of alabama from last year. gymnastics is very much in the red.

    I was just messing. Clemson could do some damage in the SEC this year. They'd win the East, then they'd play Bama/La State in ATL. It'd be fun.

    The ticket I got is actually a converted student ticket. That's fine w/ me, except there's no assigned seating and they open the doors 2.5 hrs before kickoff. I'm too old to sit around for that long before the game. I got it pretty cheap - I hear the average price is around $600 and the get-in price is almost $400 - I paid just $170. I consider having to stand in line outside waiting for the doors to open and the time inside the stadium waiting for kickoff part of the price I pay.

    $170 aint terrible

    I considered paying $150 for a Clemson/GT ticket before GT started skidding but decided i cannot justify $150 ticket, a hotel room, and gas money for a game in Atl

    I've been to Atl to watch Clemson play a whole bunch...and the last handful of times has been an absolute disaster...the last GOOD game (read: win) was in 03 when we stomped a mudhole in Volunterds in the Peach Bowl

    Well shit. Clearly I was wrong about gymnastics... Glad to see I was right about basketball, though.

    And for the record, you are NOT too old to be there that early ;)

    I regularly get to Clemson as the sun is coming up, and I'm in the stadium at least an hour before kickoff
