Yeah we have had a problem the last two games. We had over 400 yds offense last game though they did everything right except for the getting in the endzone part. I do recall us scoring enough points to beat Wake though. USC's offense has sruggled all yr and David I'm sure will be one of the first to acknowledge that.

It seems some of the Clemson players read Richard's recent diatribe on Mud.
:grinpimp:



CLEMSON - The frustration of losing boiled over inside Clemson's locker room after last week's 13-12 loss to Maryland.

Junior linebacker Nick Watkins said an argument between reserve linebacker Cortney Vincent and defensive coordinator Vic Koenning escalated into a larger spat between players and coaches after the Tigers lost on a field goal as time expired.

"The defense got mad, and then everybody got mad," Watkins said. "One coach said something, then another coach said something. Players and coaches were going back and forth."

Watkins said the flare-up was probably the result of a team watching its hopes and dreams slipping away. Clemson was 7-1 and ranked No. 10 after an Oct. 21 win over Georgia Tech, but back-to-back losses to Virginia Tech and Maryland have all but eliminated the Tigers from challenging for their first Atlantic Coast Conference title in 15 years.

Watkins said the argument was resolved before head coach Tommy Bowden reached the locker room.

"As much talent as we have on this team and as much expectations as we have, it was only a matter of time before something like that happened," Watkins said. "The players are playing our best, so we feel it the most. I feel like losing hurts me more than the coaches, because I'm playing. But the coaches do put a lot of time in it, too."

Koenning said one of his players "wasn't handling himself properly," and he called him out for it.

"Everybody's (ticked) off and frustrated," Koenning said. "It isn't fun. We don't like losing."

Another insider who witnessed the melee went on to write:
Following the pillow fight they kissed and made up . Jad Dean lead them
in a group rock rubbing and they all felt better.
One was quoted as saying " Heck, we all love Boise this time of year!"
"I'm predicting a blowout in the Textile bowl followed by a similar
awesome offensive display against those hated Shamecocks!"

No doubt about that, all in one quarter too. Erased a 14 point deficit to win by 10. That was one of the hardest things to witness in person I've ever been through.

Kind of funny to think Wake is 1 quarter from being 9-0. No wait, that's not funny... :crybaby:

Just making a wild assertion here but I bet the USC / CU game is going to be pretty close.
 
No offense to the mafia or David, but if I lost hard earned $$ on either of those teams, well, let's just say that's a bet I was raised not to mess with. ;)

On another note, how about the Scarlet Knights!!!!! Go Tony Soprano!!!

Should make the BCS all the more interesting after OBC takes down Mr. Charlotte this weekend!!! :D
 
Holy cow - what a come back!!!!
 
Ouch! Plagiarism is alive and well!

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is (and has always been) a LOWF phrase - no imposters allowed!! :smokin:
 
I knew they would win, got to have faith in the only real school in my home state. That and Sciano is the arguably best coach in college football.
 
hehe.....Wow, I sure jinxed those Scarlet Knights. :grinpimp:
That reminded me of a CU vs USC game ....I think 1984...
when USC missed a field goal and CU was offsides.
That made it 4th and goal from the 4 and USC went for it
and punched in the game winning score. LOL...that was
about the last time USC beat Clemson. They sure have dominated
po old USC since then. Year after year Clemson clearly has been the better, more talented team. They were then and they are now.
Good luck with the Pack, Tigers. You die hards may find this hard to believe
but I DO support CU as a Palmetto State school....just not in the last
game of the year. Go Pack (that's for Richard) ;)
Go Wake......ya'll ain't got a chance ( that's for Andy) ;)

Ha, LOL. That's the spirit!! :D

Who knows, those might be sage words.

Right now our 2 best players on D aren't likely to play due to injuries in the BC game. Abbate (MLB) and Gattis (S) are the heart and soul of our D.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the frickin' water boy throw on some pads and get some minutes at this rate!!! :mad:
 
There were definitely a few good looking women in that thread. There was one cheerleader might have been on pg 1 that looked like she was hit in the face with an ugly stick though.
 
Na, no warning needed on the link I posted (so far, it is a live thread so if you're worried, best to avoid it).

I even went back and reviewed the whole thing again to make sure. :D

Just a little good natured SEC competition!! ;)
 
Nice piece on OBC on Gameday. Go Cocks, beat the Gators!!

Didn't see the game, but Auburn looks like they rolled over.

Actually, it's simpler than that, Jim. War Damn Eagle was overrated. They had no business at #5.

Now I need your boys to pull this out this quarter. Big insurance policy for us.

That was a big 1st down. Come awn Canes!!!!
