If that were the case the stadium wouldn't have been empty in the third qtr against Ark.

Good win and congrats though, Can't wait to watch Auburn route you. :flipoff2:

just like S.Car was supposed to fall to Bama and Florida right?


Too bad we won't get to see S.Car bring their A game against Clemson this year.

The last two meaningless games will be filled full of 2nd stringers so everyone is healthy for Dec 4th.

I'm sure Shaw and Maddox are looking forward to an all round weak Clemson offense and a D that gave up 245 yds on the ground last season.
 
Now that the Papa John's Bowl is secured I can breathe.
They've won more than they can lose. It's been quite a struggle.

What do Lattimore, Gilmore, Maddox, Jefferies and the majority of starters have in common?
They's local boys. You'd have to shoot 'em to keep them from playing at Clemson.
They get it....trust me on this one.
Moo U may win, history tells us such, but those ol locaL boys playing for USC will bring it.

Oh and Chomp, chomp on that Urbane. Their Blueout worked about that Blackout USC used against the Gators one year.

Man I hope it's an All In, All Orange Saturday for The Game.
Pom Poms a'waving!
:grinpimp:
 
I wonder how many coaches will come and go at clemson in the next 10 years? Where is Danny Ford when you need him. LOL! :flipoff2: It sucks that when USC has a good year that others just want to bash. I pull for clemson in every game except for the last one of the season. The more both schools win the more money and good recruits come to our state. We should all focus on the big picture rather than b#*ch at each other. BTW I think a Virginia Tech / Arkansas bowl game would be a top 10 to watch. :cheers:
 
the Clemson fans (by fans i mean jeremy and JP) are just mad that S.Car is having a break out season and Clemson that was favored so highly coming into this season has fallen all but flat on their face.

Parker who was supposed to be the states best QB has done nothing but upset fans and bring smiles to the secondary of any opposing team. According to the masses (JP and Jeremy) KP is a much superior QB to that of Garcia. No recognition has gone out to the fact that Garcia has helped lead S.Car to wins against Georgia, TN, a #1 ranked Bama and a favored UF in the swamp. When was the last time Clemson has won a huge game on the road? When was the last time Clemson has won a huge game period???? When was the last time Clemson took down not only a #1 ranked team but a defending national championship team?

All the Moo U followers can talk about is how S.Carolina is going to lose. Fact is S.Car is still a building program. Our average recruiting class ranking for the past few seasons is only about 17th-18th. It's gotten better but it's still improving. Having a baseball national champion ship and now an SEC east championship has just given us a little more leverage with future recruits.

Point is. South Carolina has better receivers than Clemson, a better QB and a much better RB. South Carolina is an all round better team and has played an all around much tougher scheduel. Give credit where credit is due. Even in a year with a down SEC east the SEC still looks leaps and bounds better than the ACC.

S.Car is a spit/sputter team right now. If the S.Car team that beat Bama and UF shows up there are not many teams in the nation that hang with us. That Bama game was no fluke, the UF game is proof of that. A UF team that got both the home field advantage and had all the momentum coming into the game with huge wins over Vandy, Kentucky and Georgia.

Our secondary is having some issues but luckily for us we have a very talented secondary so those issues can be worked out, most of those starters are only sophmores. We are returning more starters/talented key players than any of our SEC east rivals and most of the west.

S.Carolina has done exceptional things this year, the SEC east is having a down season this year. S.Car has had it's share of downs this season aswell. Just wait til next season!


noticed that i said just wait til next season....not "maybe next season"


S.Car is done saying "maybe next season" We'll leave that phrase for the Moo U'ers, i'm officially passing it onto a school that needs it more than we do.

Dude get your facts straight!! you meant to say Jeremy and RICHARD(clemson55), not JP. Please do not lump me in with these two as I rarely post in this thread.

On a side note; the funniest or maybe saddest thing about all that diarrhea that just spewed out of your mouth is you believe that a 7-3 season qualifies for exceptional..... I guess when you have had low expectations for so long 7-3 becomes exceptional?? I'll give you the alabama win was impressive and maybe the UF win, but please don't go bragging about beat UGA and especially TN.

I hope you guys come to the Valley ready to play and not looking ahead to the SEC title game. It would be a shame for you to lose to such an awful Clemson team

:cheers:

forgive me, i'm awful with names.

In the SEC a 7-3 (5-3 conference) record is good...especially with 2 non conferance games left.

there is no reason for me to go back into pointing out that the SEC is a much better conference than the ACC. The only teams that have ever really dominated the SEC over the past few years are Auburn, Bama and Florida. We are still a far stretch from any of those dynasty SEC teams but we are making steps in that direction. I'm sure you certianly wouldn't try saying that Clemson would be any closer.

To finish the season 9-3 would be terrific....10-3 would be even better come Dec 4th!

11-3 would certianly cap off a very great year of firsts come Jan.

However at the end of the season game....the battle of the plametto bowl...i would love to see Lattimore take 35 snaps against you guys but we have to look at the bigger picture. An SEC title. Lattimore is our work horse, our most talented player and very center of our offense. We need him healthy and 100% in Atlanta.

You guys are probably going to see our 2nd stringers. After the perfomance you guys have shown the past few games our 2nd stringers will probably be able to get the job done.

Your offense is awful. Your D does look good but it looks good against inferior ACC offenses...i would love to see how it looks against an error free game by Garcia and Lattimore taking 30-35 snaps.

So yes..i'm very happy with the current standing of 7-3(5-3)

are you happy with Clemsons record...like i said at the beginning of the season if clemson doesn't win 9-10 games they should be ashamed.

S.Car is already going to a bowl and has super easy game this sat to make it an 8 win season when we come to Moo U.

We did not falter at the end of the season like the Moo U crew (jeremy and RICHARD) predicted. We hit that hard stretch of SEC games and made the most of them. Best of all we snapped that road game SEC losing streak at Vandy and backed it up as not being a fluke by crushing the Gators at the swamp with the east title on the line.

God smiled upon the Gamecocks!
 
Your delusional, Spurrier has already said he has no plans to bench Lattimore. If you bench Lattimore for the Clemson/Carolina game you are crazy. People will have his head worse than that air ball he threw instead of taking it to OT against KU. He already stated no 2nd striggers to start against Troy, why would he start 2nd's against CU?:rolleyes:

Jeremy
 
All team bias and bashing aside; USC is having a good year and good for you guys and if you can build on it I might just start giving you guys some credit :D

Our O can move the ball quite well it just happens to be we don't know what the heck to do with it inside the redzone where it really matters. I believe we will have success moving the ball on you guys... scoring may be another matter :doh:

and our D is def. our strength at this point; if you recall we held mr. heisman Cam Newton to his lowest totals of the year. We allowed Cam 68 yards rushing you guys gave up 176 yards to him........ I wouldn't take us to lightly if I was you. I believe I fear Jefferys more than I do Lattimore.... as I don't believe your O line is going to be able to push around our D-line like you have others.

Guess we will find out soon enough if you guys are as good as you think you are; I just don't want to hear any excusses if we win that you guys were "saving it" for the SEC CG or that this game "didn't matter" as a truly good team shows up for every game and needs no excuses :cheers:

As I'm sure Spurrier would like to see an error free game by Garcia. Has that happened yet?
 
I said it before USuC hasn't played any player as good as Bowers all year, he isn't first in the country in sacks and second in tackles for a loss because he plays in the ACC, he's there because he is a beast. He gets double teamed every play. The Old Ball Sack is to arrogant to double team anyone and will give Bowers 1on1 matchups for at least a few quarters and Bowers will end up spending more time in the backfield then Lattimore.

The Clemson D is all we have going right now and they will definitely keep us in the game.

other than lanning hitting the upright on an extra point and a kick off return for a TD for UF to start the game the entire S.Car team had a near perfect game.

Garcia is still completing over 60% of his passes, has thrown for over 2,000 yds and has 16 TD's to his 9 INT's.

The Florida and Bama games he was exceptional.




After reading last nights interview with Spurrier he said that for the rest of the season they will be doing what they do best, handing the ball off to Lattimore for both the Troy game and Clemson game.

Not exactly the best plan of action with the game against Auburn coming up IMHO but Spurrier seems to be going all in for the rest of the season. Guess he'd rather take advantage of two more wins against lesser opponets than hold back for the Auburn game.

So...unless Spurrier is bluffing i was wrong about putting in the 2nd stringers.



And i'll start on the engine removal hopefully friday. Hurt my shoulder in my hockey game last night and other than typing smack to you guys i'm going to be taking it easy around shop.

as far as D statistics go...S.Car has 35 sacks on the season, i think that puts them somewhere in the top 3 nationally and first in the SEC.

Bowers may be a good defender but he's got to catch lattimore before he can tackle him!

are you still hyping up that same Clemson D that gave up 245 yds on the ground last year?

I hope you realize not only do we have on of the best RB's in the country this year but also a much improved O line.

Bowers was injured most of last year. He is a top 5 finalist for the Nagurski award, among many others. I don't see any of USuC's D on that list. Just LSU, Auburn, UG, BC, and CU.

What place is USuC's D in the nation again?

Jeremy
 
with as flat as the Clemsons offense is this year I don't think the S.Car D has much to worry about when it comes to stopping that lack luster QB of yours.

All the teams that we have played that rely on running the ball to win games we have dominated (FU and Bama in particular)


If our D can stop the quick offenseive schemes of Florida and shut down the best RB duo in the country (Ingram/Richardson) i have no doubt that Ellington/Harper will be just as easy to shut down.

As for Clemson shutting down Lattimore, the only one who has shut down lattimore is Spurrier when he dumps his run first strategy for the fun-n-gun play book that just doesn't work for the s.car offense.

As long as we commit to the run no one has been able to stop us. Clemson will be no different, i doubt you can assure yourself that your D is any better than that of Florida or Bama. I'm willing to bet the front four of TN and GA are just as good if not better than that of Clemson.

The one and only reason Clemson's stats are as good as they are is because of your weak competition. Period. You want to play top 25, top 10 or top 5 ranked teams....gotta go to the SEC. You want to play against true smash mouth run foot ball teams that put up 200+yds a game on the ground you need to play in the SEC.



Go back to last year when we were struggling to run the ball, against even Kentuky and Vandy we had a hard time running the ball.

Go to Clemson and we run the ball at will.

The reason we finally have a championship team, we have championship caliber players.

Go ahead and tout your big fish in a little pond players like Bowers. He's got talent, i'll give him that. However it takes more than one great player to make a good D.

Bowers might as well be a man among dwarfs. That D line is going to get exploited all day long. Your secondary will have a fun time trying to hand tackle lattimore.

You guys did hold Newton to his lowest total yards of the season however it wasn't until the half time of the AU/S.Car game that the tigers started relying on Newton to carry the team both in the air and on the ground.

So go ahead and gloat about Bowers, that's about all Moo town has to brag about at this point in the season.

Do you think Dabo will still have a job after you guys fail to make a bowl appearand AND lose to S.Car 2 consecutive season since 69-70....and lose in Death Valley just to add insult to injury?
