USuC is kind of like the dorky kid next door that got invited to the most popular party in the school at the last minute. He'll go around talking up how cool he is that he is a part of it even though everyone knows he is lame and was just invited to make the parents of the host house happy. (or to have a Conference Championship game).

lol.. that's funny. I cannot really speak as too how other people outside both conferences feel about Carolina or Clemson. It would be interesting to see what they thought.

last year S.Carolina beat #1 ranked Bama
we have beaten our biggest SEC east rivals UF, Tenn and Ga 2 yrs running
we represented the SEC east last year
we went 10-2 this year
we are no longer just "invited to the party"
Seems that now that S.Carolinas football program is reaching new heights and Clemsux football program seems to be taking steps backwards the Clemsux fans are a little angry and jealous
just remember Clemsux fans...your in a basketball conference. HOw good is basketball going for you guys this season?
you wanna see lame? Watch the post game interview with Dabo. I wonder how many of those instate recruits are now looking at the way the last 3 years of the battle of palmetto state have gone and now reconsidering jumping from that sinking ship you guys have in death valley.
hell you guys almost lost your chance at the ACC toilet bowl game to Wake. Talk about ugly step children

i think he is mad because we took the wind out of his po ol tigers sails.
The tigers were out coached, out played, out executed in every way this past weekend.
There were completely dominated and their 153 total yards on offense says it all.
does it make you cow folk angry to know that the citidale, ecu and navy put up more of a fight than you?
how does it feel that you guy gave up over 200 yds on the ground and 100 of those yds were from the QB

Most in-state kids are either one fan or the other from the time they start playing ball. It's the nature of SC football. I don't think many flip because of the rivalry game.
Not mad about the game, I honestly don't give 2 s***s about the game. It's not even in the top 25 of things I feel matter in life. I just don't get the whole SEC braggard thing. I would be looking at it the same way if i was a fan from any other conference. Being a Clemson fan doesn't make me question the SEC pom poms thing, it's just a logical observation.
And I hate to burst your bubble, but that wind wind was sucked out by GT.

Oh there are just as many delusional Clemson fans as there are Carolina fans. Every college has them. Part of the sport and part of what makes a good rivalry. As long as the attacks aren't personal I see nothing wrong with them.
All I'm sayin' is that Winthrop is STILL undefeated...
I gotta tell you though, I'm pumped that both are/were/could be in the National spotlight at any time. I'm glad USC is improving since the coach took over (that first couple of years had me wondering) and I can see them getting better from here. And, say what you will, but CU is getting there too under Dabo. I like him. The offense definately improved this year. I've never seen play after play like I did this year--granted, they drew a line in the sand and decided to stop playing after 8. I'd like to be a fly on the wall when a conversation is had with Steele regarding next year's defense.

Guess no one has seen the smack talk going on between the old ball sack and Dabo....... good stuff, except for Steve-O is a classless ass 
Here is the story:
It appeared the football side of the Clemson-South Carolina rivalry for 2011 ended last Saturday when the No. 14 Gamecocks beat the No. 21 Tigers, 34-13, for USC’s third consecutive win in the series.
However, it took on new life after the Tigers’ Thursday practice.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was upset with a quote he believed to be from USC coach Steve Spurrier that appeared on the social media site Twitter late Saturday.
The “tweet” came from the official account of Gamecock football after the game and read: “We aren’t LSU, and we aren’t Alabama. But we sure ain’t Clemson.”
It was attributed to Spurrier.
However, it’s been confirmed that the actual quote came from play-by-play announcer Todd Ellis, a former Gamecock quarterback, who said during Saturday’s broadcast, “As coach Spurrier says, ‘We may not be LSU or Alabama.’ But we ain’t Clemson, folks.”
Swinney, however, didn’t hold back.
“That kind of thing gets back to you,” said Swinney, who is 1-3 against USC. “I don’t know if (Spurrier) really said that or not, but I guess he did because there’s been no rebuttal. If he said that, it’s disappointing to be honest with you because I was taught to win or lose with class. That is kind of a childish thing to put out there, to be honest with you.
“I think our program here speaks for itself. I guess I would have to say I agree with him. If I had to respond I’d say he is right. They’re not Clemson and they’re never going to be Clemson, to be honest with you. And you know what, no three-game winning streak is going to change that.”
Swinney called it “sad” that the question about the tweet came up just days before No. 21 Clemson plays No. 5 Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship Game.
He was even more upset about what he thought Spurrier said.
“I’ve gone out of my way to be complimentary to them and to be complimentary to coach Spurrier,” said Swinney, whose program is 65-40-4 overall against USC. “I got a lot of respect for coach Spurrier, but I will defend my program. I will defend my players, my coaches. I am going to defend Clemson University because I believe in it.
“You’re looking at the best era in the history of South Carolina football right now. They just had their second 10-win season, they won a championship in 1969 and the 2010 SEC East. And this rivalry —there’s a lot of rivalries out there. This is more of a domination, and that’s the fact. My kids’ grandkids won’t live long enough really to ever see this become a rivalry.”
Swinney pointed out Clemson’s national title, 17 conference championships and two division titles (both under Swinney) when comparing the two schools.
“Heck, we’ve won more bowl games than they’ve even been to,” he said. “I think our program’s got a 100-plus more wins than South Carolina. That’s reality. That’s the best era they’ve had in 115 years of South Carolina football is right now and they have done a great job. They’ve whooped our butt the last three years and it’s my job to change that.”
He didn’t stop there.
“Coach Spurrier has been there for seven years, and after five years I think he had 35 wins and a new contract and all that kind of stuff,” Swinney said. “After five years at Clemson, if I’ve only got 35 wins there’s going to be a new coach and there should be because there is a different standard here. He is actually right — they ain’t Alabama, they ain’t LSU and they certainly are not Clemson.
“I’m proud of who we are. I know who we are at Clemson. And I know where we are going.”
And the old ball sacks classy response
"That crap can happen. They can stick quotes on you,” he said. “As long as the story gets straight, that’s fine with me. I am not mad with anybody. We have a good relationship with those guys, and it’s going to stay that way.”
Spurrier’s daughter Lisa told him Wednesday night that the quote was making the rounds and being attributed to him.
“I said, ‘Well, what do you want me to do? I didn’t say it,’” Spurrier said. “Smart people don’t believe everything they read, and they don’t believe hearsay. … I guess Dabo believed it

Step you game up JP and post the video, its much better when you hear the emphasis and attitude Dabo says it with. Plus you missed some of the best quotes.
Dabo fires back at Spurrier - YouTube
I especially love the part where he says he'd be fired for 35 wins in 5 years and Spurrier got a big new contract, and the part where he says Carolina is in Chapel Hill and USC is in California and THE University in the state of South Carolina has been and always will be in Clemson.
Spurriers response is pretty pathetic, can't even man up and claim it and fire back. I'd have a lot more respect for him if he had said, I'm a man I said it USC is better thats what I believe. Instead he just took a verbal beating from Dabo and then backed down.

Dabo has had as stick in his rear since the start of the 2nd qtr last sat night.
You could see it in his face on the field and the way he yelled at his players after they dropped passes.
In his post game interview he was disgusted.
All i see is a coach that is better at cheerleading and selling used cars than doing what you would think goes along with his job title.....being a coach!!!!
Turning a team around in the ACC compared to turning a team around in the SEC is apples to oranges. NOw if you were to say comparing turning around a basketball program in the ACC to turning around a Football program in the SEC....now your getting closer!!!!
The quote was taken from the post game interview with Spurrier if i remember correctly, seems that i heard it in an interview and thats the only one i've watched.
And he's right
Clemson can blame all their losses and bad plays and botched assignments to injuries, unhealty players and any other excuse. Dabo says it's bad coaching in his post game interview.
And i agree
Because that S.Carolina squad that ran that 9-2 clemson team into the dirt lost their 5th year starter QB, one of the best running backs in all of college football, one of the best receivers in college football is having the worst year imaginable because of lack luster qb play and the entire offensive scheme had to be re adjusted mid season because the 2nd in line QB cannot play as a pocket plasser. On top of that look at our season ending loss to Nunn and other injuries to our OL and the loss of our number 2 rb (carson?) for the season.
S.Car has 10x the reason to make excuses. But they didn't
And we still tied a school record for most wins and could possilby get number 11 to set a record.
So the HBC is right....we aint' clemson!!!
We didn't sit back and make excuses of why we can't our shouldnt win
those guys clawed and crawled and scratched for every single win. Hell, the only easy wins of the season were Vandy, Kentucky and Clemson (seems fitting to lump clemson with vandy and kentuky)
While clemson sits back, with all this success, in a season where no one had high expectations an they just lose it. I mean like 2 steps from Charlie Sheen losing it too. It's like the entire team just gave up.
So thank god S.Carolina ain't no clemson!!!! As a south carolina fan i'm tired of saying "maybe next year"
We don't want to be like clemson in any way shape or form. We want to be the Bamas and the LSU's....we don't want to settle for an ACC title which is one of the best lawn ornaments of all college football.
We want that SEC title and along with that SEC title comes a chance at the NC game!!!
That my friends is what sets the SEC apart from the ACC.
And a 10-2 record...that's a good season to build off of to make that kind of goal next year!

Glad Dabo stepped up his game. I was getting tired of all the "let's hug it out" talk. IMHO, this back and forth only means 1 thing. Bad news for Steele and Scott. More so Steele than Scott. But if Scott can't get his line and key players back into playing football I think they both will have a long chat with admin.
Clemson better bring that fire-fly offense Sat. because VT is going to score 30+ points on our s***ty defense.
And you might want to set your goals a little lower. Try to be like Clemson first and get one NC trophy before you try to be an Alabama or LSU. Lofty goals my friend, lofty goals.

I love it, this kinda stuff is great for the rivalry.... I feel this was a calculated move on dabo's part. One to get the fans fired back up after the last few weeks but also to let his players know he has their back and get them fired up as well for the ACCCG.
This is will be talked about all the way up till the game next year.... good fuel for the off season

Dabo is a petulant child who is tired of getting wedgies and noogies from his big brother.
His scripted six minute rant was a desparate ploy to unite his team and get the Clemson fanbase back behind him. Folks have been ready to run him and his staff out of town this week, and now they all love him again. If he can rally the troops and pull off the win this Saturday, he will have done the job.
Of course, he stole this playbook from the Spurrier/Ron Morris showdown the week Garcia was dismissed.
