Marshall bring the fam and come down to P-town and watch the game with me richard and chuck......... Burgers and Beer for all :grinpimp:



28-21 Clemson.

I think Clemson will score early and Bama will come on strong in the last quarter.

Ought to be a damn good game though.
 
Word on the street is Little John got hit by a big storm a short while ago. My wife is now on her third trip to the basement in Clemson.

Edit: Talked with our Tornado Hunter JP. He is in the process of following one of the tornados though the east side of Clemson.

Not really sure what the point of that story was? He's insinuating Bama bought some recruits with cars I guess. So what thats probably true with Bama, Saban has had some recruiting violations in the past as well.

Did we ever decide on the prize for our NC St bet David?


Have you been going to the dorms recently? That stuff is bad for short term memory.:grinpimp:
Buck a point for score differential NCS vs USC and NCS vs CU.
Soooo....if USC loses by 50 and CU wins by 50 I owe you $100 .
If that's too rich for your pocket book we could make it a dime a point. ;)
Same outcomes mean I'd owe you $10.
I just thought we'd keep the suspense going for a long time this year.
 
just kidding and making chit up

Hey, all he did was trash a kid by name. What's the problem?


Calling it "100 percent" a distraction, Clemson defensive coordinator Vic Koenning backed down today from comments about automobiles for Julio Jones and B.J. Scott that implied shady recruiting tactics at Alabama.

Koenning told reporters at Clemson: "I don't worry about other people's stuff. I've got my own grass to cut. I guess I made a mistake in cutting a joke."

Read more about Koenning's response today from The State newspaper here and the Charleston Post and Courier here.

Meanwhile in Mobile, Vigor coach Kerry Stevenson was not amused, telling Press-Register columnist Mike Herndon that Koenning "better not come back on this campus."


Koenning's visit to Vigor, Stevenson said, occurred around the time of the school's prom, and Scott had rented a sport-utility vehicle -- Stevenson said he believed it was a GMC Envoy -- to take to the dance. Stevenson said Scott's car, a 1980s-model Cutlass, got stolen during a visit to Birmingham since he's reported to Tuscaloosa.

"That's defamation of character," Stevenson said. "He just outright lied."

Clemson head coach Tommy Bowden had this to say in a morning teleconference with reporters from both schools. ...

"I've recruited the state of Alabama for 10 years and have never had a problem with Alabama or Auburn, either one. That's why I was kind of surprised such a big thing was made. Vic, of course, coached at Troy. He's got friends in the state. I've got friends in the state, have never had a problem with either school, and the guy makes an off-the-cuff comment. I know we're really looking for things to write about and talk about on the Internet and talk shows. If we would have had some bad blood in the past, but here's a school that's had zero bad blood and has recruited that state actively, so I was kind of surprised that it snowballed and got momentum that it did. I didn't say anything to him (Vic). I think he said during the statement he was kidding. We didn't recruit him, Julio Jones. So that shows you how, I think, kind of insignificant a statement it is."

To this point, no one at Alabama has not responded publicly to Koenning's quotes, but folks in the athletics department are clearly aware of them. Koenning said he text messaged Alabama assistant Burton Burns, who "said there was no question they knew it wasn't (malicious)."

"It was a bad judgment on my part," Koenning said. "Again, I'll say I learned even if you say things in a joking or unconventional way, how it can be construed. Again, I can't say this strong enough, that I made sure and went back to everyone who was there and made sure that it was just joking. I tried to make the effort that it didn't get the legs that it did. But that's the way it goes. I understand the environment."

Sounds good to me. $1 a point for the differential. Don't know if you've seen it but I saw the spread for you guys as 11.5 points. I think you'll probably end up pulling it out in a tough low scoring game but I don't think you'll beat the spread. Should be interesting though.

Point spread is 14 in this morning's paper.
CU is a 4 1/2 point favorite over Bama.
I can't wait to use the new HD big screen TV. :grinpimp:
Watched the 2001 Bama vs USC game on classics the other day.
Dang that was a great game. 37 to 36 4th 1/4 comeback for the
po ol gamecocks. Big screen HD rocks!
Is it true that CU hasn't beaten Bama since 1905?
I think CU blasted them in the first meeting in 1901 by 36-0. :eek:
The CU vs Bama game should be a doozy!

I don't know when we beat them last, I think we are like 2-11 vs them all time though or something bad like that. We did beat them soundly in that first matchup though.
 
I think that's right, we last beat Bama in 1905. They've won 11 straight, but the last one was in 1935, I think. Looking forward to Saturday!
 
enjoy your cup cake today :cheers:

some of us have real football games to play this week:flipoff2:

No cupcake today for the Deacs, as always just looking for the W.

Just glad it is finally here!

I don't know how you can talk about cupcakes though, lol...
ccu-clemson.webp
 
I see where CU will be at full strength for Bama.
PTI and paying medical bills for injuries equals
innocent for McDaniel. No punishment from University.
I called it. I said he'd play vs the Tide.
Meanwhile USC players will face game suspensions for cutting class. ;)
Not failing, not in violation of University rules, just cut class.
Our newest Thug RB stole a water from a locked cooler for players
and will lose his starting spot for tonight.
When will these guys ever learn?

I can talk about cupcakes because I specifically said "this week" :flipoff2: ....... we get our cupcake next week to open the home season; hell the whole month of Sept. is pretty much a cupcake party for us :hillbilly:
 
Gotcha.

All that changes on Oct. 9th! :flipoff2:

don't sell youself short Andy you guys are a tremendous CUPCAKE:flipoff2:

we should be hitting our stride right about Oct. 9th.... I can already smell victory :cheers:
 
Gotcha.

All that changes on Oct. 9th! :flipoff2:

If last yr's score is any indication your the biggest black and gold cupcake on the planet.

I don't think McDaniel should be playing either David, I posted on Tigernet about it and the damn moderator took my post down. F*****g a-hole. As far as I'm concerned he should be gone for a minimum of this yr if not totally, PTI is just an easy way off for admitting your guilty its BS.

I'm gonna watch that State vs Suck game with great interest tonight Lot of $ riding on it. Might have to spend some of my winnings in advance and go get some fancy brews at the Total Wine.
