1. What is the worst moment for you in the SC/clemson rivalry?

The Fight that was Lou Holtz's final game. It was an embarrassment for Clemson

2. Will D. Watson be the starting QB at some point this season, if so, by which game?

Barring an Injury to Cole StoudtI doubt it. He needs to grow up quickly, but Cole Stoudt is a smart game manager that know all the plays of Chad Morris offense.

3. Outside of FSU, which 2 ACC teams will be clemson's toughest challenge this season?

Probably North Carolina and Louisville.

4. Ben Tillman was a/the:
A. Founder of clemson university
B. Devout and open racist
C. enlisted soldier who never reported for duty during the War of Northern Aggression.
D. All of the above

D. BTW, the majority of white me in the south were racists

5. Rank the top 5 clemson HC's in order?

Tough one:

1. Danny Ford (Have to give it for the Natioanl Title)
2. Dabo: Returned Dignity and Consistency to the program
3. Tommy Bowden: Rebuilt The Program after the Tommy West years. Couldn't take team to the next level
4. Frank Howard: Longevity was his main thing. Won some big games ans Bowls. Brought us the Rock.
5. Charley Pell: Highly Controversial Pick. Yes, he started the cheating, but also could win with the right talent. Back then the phrase was he didn't do anything that the other schools weren't do except he got caught.

6. If Dabo loses to SC __ straight times, he will be fired. (fill in the blank.)

He can lose to USC as long as he keeps winning 10+ games and playing in and winning major bowls. The Playoff era has changed things in the world

7. If Dabo only wins ___ games this season, he will be fired. (fill in the blank.)

He just signed a new extension and he could win 3 games and would still be retained. If he beats USC he would get a raise...LOL

8. Venables is paid like a Top 5 DC in NCAAFB. However, he has only one Top 10 Total defense in 8 years as a DC. If Venables is ranked below ___ nationally in Total Defense by season end, he will be fired. (fill in the blank.)

It is all about wins and loses. The more spread and tempo teams you play the more your defensive stats are going to be skewered. Look at the Devensive rank in the B12 and Pac 12 for example. The SEC still plays a lot of slow ball which will let to better stats.

9. What will Chad Morris' next job/position be?

At 1.5 million to coach one side of the ball he can cherry pick. I expect him to be gone any year but he has a big destination job in mind. My money is that he will still be at Clemson as OC

10. What is clemson's biggest advantage in recruiting?

Like Carolina, location is huge all the way up and down the east coast and some inward east. A lot of parents can see their boy play and it be within a reasonable drive. Recruiting is about selling and Dabo, if anything else is a helluva a sales man. Having some offensive horses become top 10 NFL picks isn't hurting

11. Out of the clemson guys suspended for the first game, which absence will have the greatest impact on the game against UGA?

Probably Zac Brooks at running back.

12. Which clemson WR will have the best season this year?

My money is on Charone Peak if he is healthy. The Williams kid is on the verge of a breakout as well.

13. Which clemson RB will have the best season this year?

DJ Howard better be the man

14. True or False: The orange balloons released during games have harmed SC wildlife.

Probably...But throwing plastic six pack holders in the water does too.

15. To better compete in recruiting, clemson needs:
A. a Chic-Fil-A
B. better indoor facilities
C. to ditch the color purple from the uniforms
D. to hire more recruiting analysts to the staff
E. other (list them.)

E. According to all of the Recruiting stats we are in the top 5 (ESPN has us #2 to Bama) so I don't think you can get better

16. Who is the person who is most crucial to the success of clemson football?

With Clemson's offense it has to be the QB.

17. China, North Korea, former Nazi Germany and clemson control the media coverage for their organizations. However, clemson's situation is different because...(short answer.)

They aren't MSNBC which should be in that unholy grouping instead of Clemson...

1. South Carolina at Clemson (Nov. 29)
As far as deeply entrenched rivalries and overall importance of the game to the national landscape go, it's hard to argue the Palmetto State season finale won't be one the biggest non-conference games of the year. Carolina and Steve Spurrier are eyeing an SEC East title and possible playoff berth, so a loss to the Tigers for the first time since 2008 would be crippling to those hopes.
