Where you at David? The tigers are heading up to Cola to make it 3 in a row against the shamecocks this weekend. 2 straight NOT IMPORTANT CHAMPIONSHIPS for the cocks and you still cant beat one of the traditionally worst bball teams in the ACC. Want to run that bet back again? Winner gets to pick the avatar for a week. I need a little redemption.
I'm no fool
The Gamecocks could barely beat the other USC and they stink.
Next year is our year to crow about basketball. CU has some
talent this year and an inside game that USC will have no answer
for. I only bet when it's a sure thing. You ought to know that by now.

We are definitely up a bit this yr. But an inside game with no answer, I was rolling on the floor when I heard that. We have had a serious inside game since the 80's. We have a 7'0" white, true freshman playing center, you know he can't be to good. The real USC is pretty darn good in bball this yr too actually. They had one of the best recruiting classes in the country.
I tell ya USC will have to jack up 20-30 3s and hit 40%
of them to keep it close.
They have a hellava class coming in next year via transfers
who had to sit out this year. This year is a waste.

Oh yeah, Wake got a vote in the new poll. That's right, 1!! 
Hey Richard - Looks like Clemson and Wake are 2 of the remaining 5 teams in the ACC still undefeated. No one saw that coming before the season started.
Too bad we've been left out of the ACC - Big Ten Challenge this year. The ACC hasn't ever lost but I guess Wake's dismal year last year trumped our ACC best record in the Challenge.
Congrats on a solid start in Tigertown. Looks like KC is going to be a player like I've always said. We recruited him pretty hard, that was a good get for you guys.

Yeah that acc big ten challenge has always been pretty good to us as well we usually get a bottom feeder like this yr we play minnesota tomorrow I think. Its on espn2 so ill watch. I doubt ill go to any games this yr since i have to pay now. KC can definitely play now that hes healthy and in the system well, our freshmen booker is the second best freshmen in the conference according to digger phelps. So we'll see how it pans out several guys picked us to make it into march for the first time in a long time though.
in the spirit of sportmanship
All right Richard. I've thought it over. It would only be
fair and sportsman like to let you win a similar bet.
I'll run your chosen avatar for 1 week if the Tigers best the Gamecocks this Saturday. No points, etc. just like the last bet. Cocks win, I win
and you get a new avatar from me. Tigers win I sport your avatar of choice for
a week. Winner post the chosen avatar here on mud as an attachment
all ready to copy and paste.
I can't wait to see the avatar you will choose.
You game?

Of course I'm game I asked for it in the first place. Its a sad day when I'm more confident in our bball team then fball team to beat you guys.
You were pretty confident BEFORE the Clemson vs. USC football game IIRC.

I think Clemson55 was referring to the future FB games.
wait till Saturday night
Cheer up pal. I'm sure you'll have a doozy of an avatar for me come Saturday night. Remember, it's just kids playing a game.
Heck po old Lamecocks only hit like 9 out of 20 from 3 point line last night
and got out rebounded by the Citadel. They still won going away but
that performance will not beat the Tigers.

Well thats the performance I'm hoping to see then. We shall see how the tigers look tomorrow night at 930.
You guys should take care of business at 9:30. Minnesota is pretty bad.
I'm telling you, I know you're big on the Hammonds / Hamilton combo and they are solid no doubt, but KC is going to be the man for you this year.
Wake at 9:30 OTOH, well, this could be the first of many L's this season...

I'm personally not real big on Hammonds he can't shoot the 3 and he cant shoot freethrows which is 2 things every gaurd should do. I like Rivers he might be the best bench player in the ACC hasn't started a game and still leads our team in scoring. Hes a huge boost off the bench and still gets a ton of minutes.
I put five UNC games with 4 tickets and parking passes up on ebay yesterday. People are coming out of the woodwork and e-mailing me want me to stop the auctions and sell them the tickets. Just amazing. All of them are selling over paid price right now.

best in ACC & Clemson basketball should never be put together.
Ain't that the truth, doesnt happen very often have to take advantage. We have arguably the best point gaurd in the ACC as well.
