the ability to breath, alone, makes them insufferable. there is no "more" that applies. win/lose - they are completely detached and waiting to be spoon-fed all the Jonestown propaganda from Rev Jim Swinney-Jones, himself.

Pickens Tech is a perpetual Circus of bullshite that those of us in South Carolina, especially the Lowcountry, enjoy watching. Dildo's not even the ringleader of that house-of-cards...

I do think that QB makes that team, he is a big difference maker and without him they are not all that. That kid is slippery as an eel and made some throws that you just have to tip your cap to. Plays that no one else I know of could have made.

As a team they played about as well as they could. But they were down two scores in the fourth and that last TD just beat the spread. They were damn good. But not good enough.


This is not how the game was perceived outside your camp. Impartial fans thought Clemson lost the game due to mental gaffes. Onside kicks, a kick return on a lousy kick, and busted coverages. At the end of the day, Bama deserves credit but no is thinking Clemson looked like a two score differential team.

Saban is a better coach. That is all the game came down to, as if there was ever any doubt.

It may not have been the perception but it is what happened. Mental toughness and lack of mistakes are what makes a winner. Bama made very few errors.

On the kick return, they must have seen something because earlier in the game Drake cut back like that and made a nice runback.

We won because we scored 45 points and Clemson scored 40 points. An onside kick recovery is worth 0 points.


If I had a mic, I'd fly to you right now and give it to you just so you could drop it!!

That's called better coaching. It completely mattered. While Saban had the wherewithal to call the play, Dabo threw a tantrum like a little kid on the sideline because he didn't understand the rule.

Speaking of Clemson fans has that douche Clemson fan who was on youtube running their dicksucker post anything since the defeat? Often appeared with a beer and baseball cap on backwards.

That long run by Henry was impressive. I enjoyed the game. Glad bama won. Bring on the SEC haters.

I thought someone (out of the play) was offsides. I figured that was the tantrum.

Special teams matter and that is clearly where Bama won the game. However, I do believe the 45-40 scoreline was a just scoreline. It was indicative of the game.

It was a great game.

We would have won without the onside kick.

Don't know 'bout that...that play swung the momentum in our favor and put us up a possession...we scored every series after that and so did they...without the cushion it provided, we likely lose...

lemson can dominate the ACC but they wouldn't make it through the SEC, we were knocking cats out left and right. They'd never make it through the SEC healthy but all they have to do is make it through the ACC and win two big games.


What makes Clemson players different from players in the SEC? Clemson shares a state with USC and is an hours drive to UGA. They recruit from the same pool of talent as these schools.

Coots talking about not making it through the SEC..Even if it was true, talk about the pot calling the kettle black. In their only conference championship appearance, they were handed a beatdown reminiscent of our 2003 cake walk in the roach

Their point is Wake Forest and NC State don't beat you up like Miss St or Texas A&M. I think we can agree that every P5 conference has one or two brutal games. They are saying the 5-6 win teams beat you up in prep for those brutal games.

Again, I think it's a tired argument. I find that teams get beat up and injured against FCS schools because injuries are flukey. I mean for frick's sake, Oregon got a rash of injuries against Wyoming.

I looked at them too and they have a hard time giving Bama due credit (though there are a surprising number of fans telling the other fans to grow up, so that's something.)

But don't forget that Bama fans can be cocky as hell too. Bama can back it up, so it's all well and good. Still, calling another fanbase cocky...?

Of course, the only fanbases on the Rant that aren't cocky are...um, us. I was going to say us and UK, but UK has the basketball cockiness down pat.
