Is that better?

I just couldn't resist, but in hindsight, I should have changed the ClemsonCruiser to Trollhole! What a funny post!

Go Clemson!!!! Way to beat that sec A&&!!

 

[clemson55]

Big win over the SEC and LSU last night for the Tigers! Absolutely wore LSU out by the end of the game which was a big factor at the end. Boyd was a beast handling the relentless pressure and making big throws all game.

Where is Gundy and DOHCdelconfused? I am sure they will come out after their game today lol

I will add my .02, the refs made a HORRIBLE call on that fake punt, that was not a first down and even a blind man (like myself) can attest. There had to be at least 3" between the tip of the ball and the marker. Anyways, both SC teams played good ball. Taj hadn't hadn't been put on his ass like that in a while if ever, but LSU's mediocre performance and CU's good execution helped. It has been a good matched bowl season so far, can't wait for Ala/ND....

Kudos to clemson and tajh. They wore lsu out, and I didn't think they could. Guy played lights out and showed heart. Where was that defense all year?

Bottom line - great year for both teams. Ours was just a bit better because we whipped that ass at clemson's place at night.

CU looked great. Where was that D
all year long? I see a lot of shutouts
next year.
Cocks got lucky . Good thing the refs
cheated for them or UM would have
won this one in a laugher.
Guess CU will wind up ranked higher
than SCAR.
Next year CU will go undefeated and
poor old SCAR will be lucky to make
the toilet bowl.
Woe is me

Florida was carrying that SEC banner high last night.

 

[MPATiger]

Rigged!

All of these games are rigged! There is no way SEC teams can be beat........Right? At least that what ESPN would have us to believe.

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

SEC!! SEC!! SEC!! what a joke...... I think they have been buying into their own hype for way too long I throughly enjoyed watching LSU defensive players dropping like flies during the 4th quarter because they weren't nearly as conditioned as the CU offense, which seems unfathomable since they have all that "SEC SPEED"

I will say though watching both the Flordia and LSU games plus Clemson's experience with Auburn the last 3 years, that they must preach playing dirty when it comes to the defensive side of the ball.... I don't remember ever seeing so many deliberate head shots on QBs and recievers not to mention throwing punches, looked like a bunch of thugs out there at times

ACC bowl record = 4-2
SEC bowl record = 3-3 with 1 to go

1-1 against each other

If you count Louisville, Syracuse, and Pitt who are all heading to the ACC its 6-2 with 1 to go and 2-1 ACC over SEC.

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

The irony is SEC should be thanking Vandy for the SEC's only dominating bowl game so far, who would have ever seen that coming

That should read 2 to go... Lest you forget A&M... They still have time to better their bowl record... Plus if Alabama beats ND that's another NC in the SEC hat, how many NC's has the ACC won lately? Just thought i'd play devil's advocate and ask...

 

[steenh]

You ACC guys are funny. This is the best bowl season in years for you, and the SEC's worst... And the SEC will likely have another NC to show for it, another winning record, and for me, watching UF lose isn't a bad thing.

The dominance will continue... And you all know it and hate it which makes it even sweeter

 

[clemson55]

I did forget A&M but I picked them to lose so still only a .500 bowl season.

We ACC guys aren't funny at all, we simply live in reality... I make no bones that the SEC is the best conference out there but it is very top heavy for that matter. However what we get sick of is having ESecPN's unabashed bias and having it rammed down our throat week after week..."SEC SPEED" "SEC DEFFENSE" as if similiar speed and D's don't exist outside of the SEC. It is truly laughable to all but you homers out there. Texas A&M came in and proved "SEC SPEED and D" don't really exist and it is also being proved by multiple teams out there this bowl season. Hell Georgia struggled with Nebraska who had 70 dropped on them by Wisconsin...... ESPN can't protect you boys forever

And answer me this when is the last time UGA actually claimed a national title??? What is that you say... it has been even longer than Clemson's???

I truly hope you will come join me in the Valley next year to watch as your perennially over hyped puppies fail to live up to expectations again.... and also to get owned in Korn hole

If you can come up with a ticket... I'm there. I'll even sit with you yahoos... at least until it gets ugly and you all leave the stadium.

Has Clemson won a NC in your lifetime?

Dawgs overhyped huh... take the last 10-20 years. How often has Clemson ended the year ranked higher than the Dawgs? I don't know the answer, but suspect you'll look it up and figure out the answer is one you won't want to post here.

And... I'll own you in KH and you know that too

 

[clemson55]

Clemson v UGA is going to be a battle next year, UGA D vs Clemson O will be the storyline I'm sure. Loser will still be in the NC hunt since they will both be ranked very high to start the year, the game is early, UGA will have the luxury of being in the SEC, and Clemson would still have the chance to run the table getting a couple ranked wins and their only loss being a tough UGA.

I'll own you both in Cornhole, my record against JP would make the ESPN hype over the SEC look modest. Just played a tournament last night in fact, best part was the $0.75 drafts at the bar while I was winning.

On a side note here is some of that great SEC recruiting tactics that get them such great classes every year.

Clemson offered him a chance to start immediately and win championships, Ole Miss offered him a chance to play immediately with his brother and a job for his dad. Guess championships dont matter as much as people say.

UGA Clemson rivalry was awesome back in the 80's... never missed a game and they almost always had a lot of drama. Can't wait... could very well be a game that has NC impact later in the year!

UGA Defense is going to be a big wildcard. 12 leaving from this years team... a bunch to the NFL. That said, the D didn't really impress me in most games this year, so we might be fine. Offense is going to be VERY strong. Basically the same team with our two starting receivers back from injuries. Murray may or may not be back, but our backup QB is supposed to be an even better talent though he won't have the experience in that first game. Running game will only be better than what was pretty amazing this year.

SEC recruiting is definitely for the big boys... win baby win. And, who wants to be a Dr. at Clemson? Aren't there enough cow vets up there already?
