The Great Football Thread

[clemson55]

I still support the guys on the field, and I'll be there cheering for them in the end win or lose this bye week, lol. I just can't support TDP or Barker anymore, I haven't supported TDP for years anyway because he is a terrible AD. He hasn't hired anyone good he always contracts with that recruiting firm they are the ones who hired OP and McKinney. Meanwhile he fired or forced out the coaches for Soccer, Track, and Tennis who had multiple National Championships and ACC titles. IPTAY is mostly responsible for facilities upgrades so I won't give him much credit for that. So basically he hasn't done anything or helped us win anything in the whole time hes been at Clemson. Meanwhile Barker is to focused on the Top 20 to give a damn what happens to our sports teams maybe when we hit top 20 next yr he will wake up and start putting a little more effort towards winning.

Unfortunately I think this might be USC's 1 win every 4 tries vs the Tigers, they will definitely be favored in this one, if the game were tomorrow they'd be favored by 21.

Well to play Devil's advocate here....stealing and getting arrested for CDV might have had an impact on some firings. Of course he did let ol Tommy steal a bundle from CU and votes CU AHEAD of Harvard and Stanford, etc in that goal to Top 20 too.

Play away good sir, I don't know the whole story behind the stealing with the track coach, as I understood it, it was more like redirecting funds to assistants but I could be wrong, and I do think it probably deserved firing or a serious penalty. However with Adair both his wife and kids said he had never laid a hand on any of them and that the incident was blown out of proportion, and I don't believe he deserved to be fired/forced out like he was and especially not before all the facts were in. Probably some sort of suspension or something was in order.

What is this top 20 initiative you speak of??

[Gundy]

It is here. The week of LOWF taking on the monster talent at CU. Wake ain't got a prayer.
BTW: Congrats to WF for bringing Merryland back to earth.

Speaking of coming back to earth....po ol lamecocks take on Bama this weekend.

When CU President James Barker took over at Clemson he made the goal of making Clemson one of the Top 20 public universities in the country. At the time I believe we were #42 or something around there. A couple years later (01?) we were named Public University of the Year. We have been climbing ever since then, I believe we were #22 this year we have climbed more than 2 spots every year since we started so if they do that again we will hit the top 20 goal. Our sports have shown particular mediocre steadyness or decline during that time excluding basketball and I think most alumni would rather we win then hit the Top 20.

[BillWright]

Clemson 40 Miami 34.
Thaat's what I'm talking about. Now we're getting somewhere.
Looks like the cheerleading yahoo knows a little more about coaching than the armchair QBs thought.
Still a long way to go but you've come a long way baby.

[clemson55]

Definitely a big win, now lets see if they can keep playing like they have these last two weeks. We control the division just have to win, 3 wins and we'll see GT in the ACCCG.

This is probably the yr for some revenge then David since UT is averaging like 10 pts a game. Wheres Nate when we need him to defend that disgusting orange of theres, sing rocky top 379 times, and defend their fall from dominance.

David that video is absolutely disgusting. I couldn't get past the intro.
C'mon man, this reminds me why I went from primarily a USC fan to primarily a Clemson fan when I lived in Columbia.

Serve you right to get a whuppin'.

Hope not though, I think the OBC has a real chance this year. First time I've felt that way in a long time.
And I really really despise Lane Kiffin.

Are you kidding me? That has to be the best performance of that song I've ever heard!
What has an appreciation of a fine musical performance done to warrant such wrath?

You ain't foolin' anybody with that "sorta" pull for USC stuff. We all know yo'rer a Tater through and through.
Notice I said PAST beat downs. Last year USC put a serious beat down on UcheaT.
UT ain't some walk over...even this year.

Like I said to start the season: USC will struggle to win more than they lose and CU goes 8-4 or 9-3.
Got my tickets for the annual showdown and I'm hoping it makes CU 8-4.

You do realize that was a remix with a beat box? There is one thing that doesn't go with bluegrass and that's a beat box.

Give me the Osborne Brothers, Earl Scruggs, Lester Flatt, or even my personal favorite Roy Clark.

Check out this "UT" song. Bear wiff me Homie....at about the 1:10
mark Lil Wayne does his UT tribute to Lane kiffen.
"Smoke weed...talk sh*t like Lane Kiffen"

YouTube - Lil Wayne - Banned From TV *No Ceilings*


I really hope the gamecocks can pull this one off.
Especially after his "pumping gas" swipe at USC
players and then calling a player his friend and a high school coach liars for repeating what he said.
His act is already getting old.

That Rocky Top sucked just like every other version of it I can't listen to that song for more then like 30 sec without wanting to puke. I like the Lil Wayne though David didn't know you had it in you. What time is the USuC vs UcheaT game on? If its the late game then I might just be drunk enough to cheer for USuC by then.







































Just Kidding I'd die from the alcohol way before I could drink that much.

[Trollhole]

UNC vs VT tonight.

How bad do y'all think we will lose?
How many QB's will we use tonight?

I have a sneaky feeling that D for UNC pulls this one out for the

UNC was the blind squirrel not you David.

[Trollhole]

What a game. Never expected that. We actually looked like a team that played football.

[clemson55]

Can't believe UT stomped a hole in USC like that, I expected it to be something fairly close. Clemson stayed on track with a rout of Coastal nice little scrimmage to help them get ready for FSU this weekend in a primetime matchup with huge ACCCG implications.

[BillWright]

Actually USC did very well against TN, beat them in fact. Just started a few minutes too late.
Spotting them 21 points before you start your game is just a leetle too Cocky.

[dohcdelsol93]

South Carolina handed the flipping game away.

South Carolina figured they could play using the stradegy Bama used against them. Bama tried to hand S.Car the ball game the week before last....Thanks to another week of bad play calls, offensive line mistakes (miss assignments and false starts) and WTF is up with being down two scores with 4 min left on the clock against #2 Bama and running the ball up the middle? Does S. Car not have a 2min offense?

anyway...S.Car should have and could have easily beat UT...they just never showed up and the coaching staff did not help at all

I think the team as a whole is angry, from what i heard Culliver really made a scene. I think the Cocks will come out angry and have a chip on their shoulders these next three games.

They stomp Arkansas as Garcia picks apart a D that can't stop the pass, Norrwood and company intercept 3-4 passes and take all the wind out of the sails for the razor backs.

as for florida...we lose but not by more than two touchdowns if that much. If we see the offence that showed up against Georgia we COULD acutally beat florida.

and for the clemson game...i think we will force the run. The only way clemson will win is by putting the ball in the hands of spiller by direct snaps and/or screen passes. If spiller does not have a great game S. Car will win.

PM me your dealer's number please. He's got the REALLY good stuff.

[dohcdelsol93]

No one has been able to throw the ball against S. Carolina. IIRC Ol Miss only had about 130 passing yards against us and he was a heisman hopeful

with the 3rd overall nationally ranked D....S.Car is no joke on the defensive side of the ball.

If the offense can start clicking on all cylinders they will be killer.

the offense in Florida has not been anywhere near the threat they were last season, Garcia and the Arkansas QB have the most passing yards in the SEC. IMO Bama is the much better team in the SEC this year. We had every opprotunity to win that bama game...i have no reason to believe if they actually pulled it togtether for 4 consecutive qts of a football game they can pull off an upset

Clemsons whole team is spit and sputter at best. The only thing clemson has going for them is spiller.

If s.carolina shuts down spiller it's a long game for clemson fans. I'd put culliver on him every play. He's a sound tackeler and plays with his head and his heart. Something s.car has been lacking for years.

The biggest problem with S. car this year is the coaching staff. By this time in the season there are no rookies

Choose your O line and stick wtih them damn it. These guys have a hard enough time remembering one positon...why force them to play 2-3. All these blown assignments, missed blocks, false starts....should not be happening in November.

3rd and longs are killing S. car

With recievers like Gurly, jefferies, brown and Saunders we can pick apart most any secondary

The problem is there is no O line to keep the pressure off of Garcia. It's hard to throw accurately when your having to run out of the pocket on every play yet he's averaging 236 yards a game and has been sacked more than any other SEC QB

Get him some protection and we would be 8-1 this season

that all changes in over the next 3 years.

The cocks will compete in the SEC championship game in the next 2-3 seasons.


and we both live in greenvlle...i'm sure we already have the same dealer

[boombapslappy]

I'm liking the new guy...UC member or not. Talking smack right out of the gate.

[dohcdelsol93]

lol thanks

just saying...if spiller doesn't have a great game....Clemoson sucks. They lose to FSU today if spiller doesn't have a near perfect game.
