clemson Hate Week!

What do y'all think about the 25.5 point spread? Seemed really high to me. What was it last year?

---

Last year it was 17, and we covered. This morning it's 23.5 pts.

Last year they had a balanced offense. This year they are Pass-Heavy. They have the #9 Pass Offense and #76 Rushing Offense. That plays into our strengths. We have a better Pass Defense than Rushing Defense. However, with it being a road game for us, it will help their Passing Offense more (unless they pump in noise and lights while their on offense too...but that's not likely.)

We're 8th in the Nation in Turnover Margin, they're 75th. To have a chance in this game, we'll probably need to be +2 or +3 in Turnover Margin. Their Defense is ranked higher than our's in most categories. So that's while we need to get turnovers.

Hopefully we held back some of the playbook that Bentley's learned the pass 2 weeks. We will need to focus on really quick passes, as their Team Sacks and Team TFL's are in the Top5 in the Nation.

Looking at the stats on paper, I can see why they put the spread so high. It will probably come down some this week though. We will need to put together our best game of the year to beat that team from the upstate. Like I said in another thread though, if Rico can get close to his avg of 147 yds rushing, then we'll probably be in a good position to win that game.

The interesting part about this game is that Clemson has the ability to run well and has a QB that can run, but for some reason they pass 70% of the time.

If they continue to do that, we can stay in it. If they go back to how they played last year, then it could get ugly.

Anyone remember last year when Gamecocks were saying that Dabo didn't give a shitty about his player's health and would play them through injuries that could be detrimental to their careers?

I had taters tell me that it was just a sprain and not a big deal.

Well the truth is out.

- Dabo quote from today about Watson's game last year.

Donald Trump found a bottle in a remote bodega in Yonkers.

A Genie popped out, after rubbing it, and offered to grant him any wish and Trump said, "Route all the ISIS out of the middle east and bring peace and democracy to those countries without any more loss of life. Here's all of the maps with insurgent locations and identities of all of their leaders."

The genie replied, "there is no way I can manage that, no one has that much power, it's just impossible."

"Okay then," replied Trump, "give the Clemson Football Team a National Championship this year."

The genie rubbed his chin and said "let me have a look at those maps."

Did y'all hear that the clmeson President's house burnt down last night?
It burnt down all the way to the axles.




Two marketing graduates, one from Clemson, the other from Carolina, were applying for the same position. After reviewing both resumes, the hiring manager still couldn't decide.

"Gentlemen, this is a tough decision. We're going to have a contest. I want you both to write a short poem ending in Timbuktu. You have five minutes."

The two graduates nodded in understanding and feverishly got to work. After several minutes passed, the Carolina grad returned with his poem. "I did my best given the time constraint, sir." The manager nodded and read the Gamecock's verse.

Across the great and golden sands
There drove a mighty caravan
Their cargo jewels, every hue
Destination: Timbuktu

No sooner had he finished than the Tater burst into the room, a bead of sweat on his brow bearing testimony to five minutes spent deep in thought. "Here it is, sir! I did it!"

quote:

---

Me and Tim a huntin we went
We found three whores in an old green tent
Since theys was three and we's was two
I bucked one and Tim bucked two!
