re: Josh Pate picks USC to upset A&M

Posted by RoyalAir on 10/31/24 at 12:59 pm
Pate has a soft spot for SC, and has for a while. SC will be unable to keep this remotely close. aTm is just simply better at every position, and every coaching spot. ...

[quote]A&M and SC are very much alike[/quote] Rationally, I agree. They're carbon copies of each other in terms of what they do well- except aTm has a better OL and a better OC. That's probably the difference, unless SC generates a lot of turnovers. But aTm does that very well, too, and SC (pre-O...

Yall are soft as baby shite as a fanbase. You expect to have everyone kiss your arse, and expect to win just because you show up. Very, very few people on this board are picking SC to win- *including* the SC fans. All anyone is saying is that it's going to be a competitive game, and it's aTm's big...

[quote]Democrat returns are substantially down.[/quote] At the moment. This is pretty clearly calculated. The Dems are gathering Intel and data about what they need to juice the system on Gameday. It's impossible to make it Too Big To Rig. The machine will generate 120% of registered voters...
[quote]USC likes to blitz the QB and get sacks and TO's[/quote] The vast majority of SC's sacks and QB pressures are from the front 4, not from blitzing. It's the major reason the secondary generates so many picks - they're covering WRs while the QB is under duress. Emmanwori is feasting as a res...
[quote]And it's easy to look back on TFA and hate on it because it's the cool thing to do, but that movie was pretty awesome and had a great Star Wars feel to it. [/quote] TFA is when I quit. Never saw anything else Disney ever made. It's derivative, and doesn't tell a new or interesting stor...

Aggies expecting a cakewalk. They're good now. We're still SC. Shame. Could have been fun. ...
[quote]A&M and Carolina are shockingly similar in terms of what they can and can’t do. [/quote] That's my contention. Very similar teams, with very similar mindsets. Usually, you go with the home team in these cases. But momentum is real, and aTm is feeling it right now. I fully expect there ...

I firmly believe that Tech de-emphasized sports over the last 20 years or so. They more or less chased away all their sidewalk fans, to the point that they really don't have them any longer. Every time I meet a Tech fan, they're either an alum or they have a distinct family connection. They're good ...

[quote]Random towns in Georgia outside of metro Atlanta have less Tech people than Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, etc folks, whereas go to a random town in South Carolina or Alabama and there are going to be a minimum of 20-25% of one or the other fans.[/quote] Agreed. Tech alumni also tend to move ...

[quote]Perhaps second only to Kansas-Missouri, although the difference there is their football game has never been competitive sport[/quote] I've lived in SC and in Georgia. There is no comparison between the Ga/GT series and SC/Clemson. The Palmetto Bowl has far more hatred and vitriol. It's...
[quote] It is the Aggie way to drop a game which is inexplicable.[/quote] This is typical aTm all hat/no cattle response. You're playing a quality opponent *in their house.* If aggy loses on Saturday, it's going to be because SC beat them. The explanation would be that SC's defense shut down ...
[quote]Yeah, but we didn't lose Ole miss because of QB play specifically. We lost the Ole Miss game because of turnovers and getting behind early and were never able to catch back up[/quote] Exactly. If Ole Miss version of SC shows up, aTm wins in a laugher. If Oklahoma version of SC shows up...
[quote]The responses I got in relation to the concept of my question (not Reed vs Weigman) from SCar fans is they're pretty ready for both.[/quote] No, not necessarily. Just that we have seen both. Vandagriff, Nussflopper, and the kid from Akron are most similar to Weigman. Nuss, once he heated u...
