You're not very bright are you? I guess the sig answers that one for us...no.

Let me break it down for you. I'll do this very slowly so pay attention...

A Clemson fan talks crap about USC.

A USC fan, logically (although ill-advised because there's no use arguing with a 10-tooth, goat-humping, hillbilly), will respond by talking smack about Clemson.

Any person with a normally-functioning brain (and apparently only half-functioning...seeing as you called it as well) would understand that logic.

A good stat. Our d-line is one of the best in the country but have gotten killed by the triple option from Navy and The Citidal.

Ummm, yeah. Those service academies can be tough...

 

 

After they graduate are are given weapons.

It's called the triple option. Good try though.

You should learn the art of the white text.

I think the real game changer will be the match-up between Alshon and Dennard

I think the real match will be between Clowney and the two or three guys we put over him to slow him down.

No, he's not in every down, passing downs. Worry more about Ingram, kid's legit and in every play.

Yeah, I guess I'm just going by the highlights, and not the season stats. And Clowney has some pretty awesome highlights.

You should see his high school film. Good lord. There was literally no one who could block him. Meeting the the QB and RB in the backfield at the handoff was the norm for him. Get there a tad too late? No worries...tackle them both!

SC has 4 playmakers...the front 4. You beat them, you beat South Carolina.

You're right. DJ Swearinger, Stephon Gilmore, and Antonio Allen all suck...

That website skews a lot of its numbers and conveniently leaves out information. Just look at the Bryce Sherman article. Spurrier allows around 5 scholarships a year to be open to give to walk-ons...guys who EARN a spot on the team. Bryce Sherman was a walk-on from the track team. Every walk-on knows that the scholarship offer is for only one year. This way they can be sure that the guys who work the hardest and fit the team best take those last few spots. Sherman didn't fit the team best so he didn't receive the same scholarship offer the next year.

 

if he knows this then he should allot 20 LOIs for this year and every year, right...? you guys already have 20 commitments for the incoming class, but do you really think that your recruiting class complete...? if he knows that 5 are set aside that means you guys won't be signing anyone except the 20 kids already committed, right...? I have a feeling you'll be picking up a few more recruits from now until NSD...

 

85 is the limit and you said 5 every year go to walk ons, so that would be 80 commits/LOIs over 4 years, 20 per year, give or take a few for academic reasons, correct...? just last year you guys had 32 kids commit, just a "little bit" more than the 20 he should be signing to LOIs every year, right...? 2010 had 23 commits, 2009 had 29, that's 94 commitments that you guys have received in just the last three classes, 23 in 2008, 31 in 2007, 24 in 2006, do I really need to go on...? I realize that not all of those kids qualified, but a simple search of recruiting sites doesn't really support your argument here...

Many of those kids don't qualify and are placed in prep or JUCO. Some of those same commits are added into the next class and therefore are counted twice...once in two different classes. Some of those kids also don't qualify at all for USC. Then there's the fact that many are lost to the draft/transfer (on their own accord) along with the seniors that leave. USC has lost a LOT of juniors (and RS Soph) to the NFL draft in the past few years...many of which don't get drafted at all.

Delete/Move this thread. CLEMSON, South Carolina, Wisconsin fans: go troll another board. I come here to read/talk husker football and Im sick of putting up with these childish arguments between teams I don't give a **** about.

Dang dude. Chill. Don't take everything so personally. Like I said, I'll have an analysis on USC up by Wednesday. Guess you probably wouldn't like that though, would you? Seeing as you don't "give a **** about" USC.

Let me put it this way...would you rather be a pu&&y or a ****?

I mean, can you even take pride in "beating the c$%ks" (Not that it has happened since 2008)?

GO BIG RED!

 

Swaying me back to Clemson a bit right there!

If two Taters get a divorce are they still cousins?

If two Gamecocks get a divorce are they still cousins?

 

See? Unoriginal. Try again.

Except everyone knows that is unrealistic. Clemson on the other hand is a bit more realistic.

Dear GamecockSmitty4 & PalmettoSon (cc: Badgerfan),

 

Pace yourselves. We have almost a month until the day of the game. The two of you are trying to throw up a hail mary on the first play of the game. We'll end up in the woodshed sooner or later, but we have to keep the Huskers interested until that point.

 

Sincerely Yours,

 

K. Cacti

Clemson University

Class of '07

At this pace I'd still have extra material left over by the time the 2012 season starts!

Nah he can talk about Lattimore in a sensible way. At least I hope.

 

Judging by his OP here it'll probably be packed with side swipes and weasel words though. Should be an entertaining read at any rate.

You know me well, Badger.

haha its all good. I do that crap all the time on here and rarely get called on it. NU fans are way too well mannered for their own good.

 

and for the record to the mods and other posters that think this is us really going at it and talking smack out of anger...I can only speak for myself but I find this funny. I'm smiling right now. This is fun for me and I bet it is for Cacti and Smitty. Don't take us too seriously.

Nah. This is nothing. Neither is "USC beat Clemson like Joe Craig beat his girl with a towel rod."

Hey, why doesn't Clempson offer Driver's Ed and Sex Ed in the same day?

.....

They don't want the mule to get too tired!

For a pre-game synopsis that post was pretty weak Cacti. No breakdowns of stats, schemes or schedule, just a half paragraph bit of lip service.

 

I'll take this as it is, a thinly veiled shot at USC for its history. Too bad the only history that matters is this season...34-13.

No worries, I'll get into more details later - including the loss of Garcia & Lattimore...

 

Let's just go ahead and get this over with: You guys whipped us the past 3 years. I admit it. Let's move ahead to the Nebraska game.

Wow. That's messed up. Talking about Lattimore...one of the most humble and respectful players in college football...is a low blow. Talk crap about Garcia all you want but talking about Lattimore is just classless. Why don't you go worry about your boy Mike Bellamy- the "Superstar". Hear he's about to get kicked off the team. What a shame. That was one of Clemson's biggest investments last season...

^^^

Bruce Ellington has more wins in the rivalry in 8 days than Dabo has in 4 years.

But seriously, the first part is a bit unnecessary if you ask me. The last paragraph was a pretty accurate synopsis.

I think TO should walk the Side Lines just to Psych out Spurrier

Hee Hee! I heard that Steve still takes his headset and throws it on the ground when he gets mad! Classic Spurier! lol

Hey GamecockSmitty4 does Steve still wear a visor? I used to LOVE to watch Steve and Barry Switzer get mad when they played us. They were so funny! Great times!

 

Sometimes he throws his visor and sometimes his headset. Sometimes both. Although, that has decreased dramatically since Garcia was kicked off the team.

I was talking to my Dad tonight. He said he has closely watched uSC this year. He says that Spurier still has his fits on the sideline just like he always did throwing that head set on the ground. I thought that was funny. He also said that uSC fumbles quite a bit but seems to win. I'll admit I haven't watched any USC games this year. What is your opinion about fumbling? Do you consider USC to be a consistent team? Can't wait to hear your Scout Report.

Not sure where the fumbling came from. We have fumbled a few times this year but hardly what I would consider a problem. Turnovers were a huge problem when Garcia was the QB but since he's been dismissed Shaw has come on and done very well. He takes care of the ball very well and will avoid taking big hits or throwing a pick. The RBs don't fumble much at all.

also it would appear that Scar drew a very very favorable schedule from the SEC this season. if they replace miss st. and florida with bama and lsu then they are definitely sitting at 8-4 instead of 10-2

USC beat Bama last year 35-21. In all honesty, USC would match up well (relatively speaking) against either of those two teams. I would have switched LSU or Bama for Arky this year easily. USC plays similarly to Bama and LSU (power running/take care of the ball and smashmouth D) but can't stop teams who either run the triple option or are Arky.

i thought this would be the easiest of the three teams we could play. we match up overly well with s car. and i would say we win by around 2 scores.

I think that's funny because USC thinks the exact same thing about Nebraska. No offense intended. It's just that USC would match up with Nebraska's style of play MUCH better than Wisconsin and likely MSU.

Should be a great one! Unless someone beats me to it I will post a full report on USC on Wednesday. I figure y'all might like to know a little about your competition.

USC - Defense Defense Defense especially on the line. Clowney and Ingram are absolute beasts. Shaw is coming along nicely, is the kind of runner NU hates and has a dominating receiver in Alshon Jeffery. RB is hurting bad but they've found a stop-gap in Wilds. Haven't had much success in bowls lately and the last time they drew a Big Ten team was an abortion. Option teams (like Navy and Wofford) give them fits but NU isn't a triple so they should be good.

 

My prediction if USC plays NU,

Gamecocks: 17

Huskers: 14

I don't think so. We've played Spurier in the past when he coached at Florida. I'm thinking Bo might conference with Dr. Tom Osborne who has beaten Spurier on many occasions. That would be smart. I predict Bo and the boys will be ready for this game.

USC doesn't run the same type of system as SOS did at Florida. I'm not saying that it will mean much, but Spurrier's UF is the polar opposite of Spurrier's USC. Strong Defense and Power Running/Taking care of the ball on O.

I was talking about the board being invaded by South Carolinians

My mistake considering SC vs Nebraska is a likely matchup in the Cap One bowl. Didn't realize I was doing anything wrong. My bad. I'll leave y'all alone if someone from SC really bothers you that much.

If it makes you feel any better, USC has lost 3 straight bowl games.

Smitty, are you going to go? If it's in Florida, My whole extended family is going.

 

I won't be able to go. I'm too broke. haha

 

Don't worry guys. I'm ignoring the Clemson crap. I'm not here to talk smack. Just to talk football with a (what seems to be) classy fanbase. Not too many of those down South.

 

Hopefully in a few hours we can officially start talking Neb vs SC football. I looked into one SC board (can't remember which) and seemed like already starting a few good conversations between Neb and SC fans regarding strengths and weaknesses.

Cockytalk.com is probably the best (and free!). I know I may be biased, but as far as activity goes, it may be one of the best in all of college football. New posts in threads all the time and easy to navigate. Definitely welcoming of new members from other teams. As long as you keep the smack in the smack forum. haha

Every projection I've seen today (ESPN, SI, CBS, a couple more) has USC vs Nebraska in the Cap One.
