10 Natty's among 4 different programs is pretty good.
And most of it, minus gym, in the last 10 years

Arkansas's total number isn't that impressive when you consider most of them are in track and cross country. lol
I guess you think 1 golf and 2 soccer championships are more important.

I consider football, basketball, soccer, baseball the big 4.
Keep in mind Clemson was the title game in soccer two years ago.
I don't count women's sports.
I think Clemson will win a baseball title at some point. It has been competitive in baseball. Clemson is ranked 14th in winning percentage for all its seasons, and 8th for number of wins. Clemson's winning percentage across all seasons played is higher than any SEC school. LINK
Basketball is the biggest challenge with the proximity of the NC schools. But playing in ACC gives Clemson a chance at one magical season at least because of so many opportunities to play great programs.
Clemson has also won at least 2 natties in waterskiing in Division 2. It isn't a NCAA sport but one of the better programs in waterskiing.

Tanner wouldve been offered the head baseball coaches position or the highway if not for Staley and Frank Martins Final 4 run last year. He has done shite since being the AD. Clemson has owned us the last 4 years. His big name hire was Will Muschamp. Lucky for Tanner and Will was SCAR had the weakest football schedule tje past two years that saved both their asses.

Trading a powerhouse baseball program and an above average football program, to have a dominant women's basketball team?
We cant even discuss yall when we are talking SEC dominance in baseball anymore.
WTH is Tanner doing to yall?
The baseball program will be back soon enough - beyond Hill we have a totally new and young staff, so it will take a while to develop the pitching, but so far we've seen improvements under Kingston, and those will continue.
As for football, it's true we're climbing out of the hole that Spurrier left the program in, but we are climbing. USC still has an above-average FB program: we've won 9+ games a season 5 times out of the last 8 seasons, and only Alabama, LSU, and UGA can make the same or better claim:
West
Bama: 8/8
LSU: 6/8
Miss St.: 4/8
Auburn: 3/8
Texas A&M: 3/8 *-once in the Big12
Ole Miss: 2/8
Arkansas: 2/8
East
UGA: 5/8
USC: 5/8
UF: 3/8
Missouri: 3/8 *-once in the Big12
UTjr.: 2/8
Vandy: 2/8
UK: 0/8
Projections are strong for USC making it 6 out of 9 seasons this coming season, while Arkansas' FB projections......well, heh heh. It seems that Arkansas has traded all of its sports - FB, BB, Baseball - for T&F. Now that might just be a bit more pathetic....

We don’t live or die by how well our American-football team is playing.

Lmao@track n field....Who gives two shits about track n field? ...oh just Arky and LSU

You are an idiot and clearly are not connected to USCs athletic department.
Posted on 3/5/18 at 8:24 am to kbrake37
You have no idea what you're talking about.
Such an easy excuse to blame the AD.

lol. Every team in the SEC would accept all those T&F nattys with open arms.

Absolutely. Arkansas t&f is top notch. Downplaying Arkys success there is ignorant. Overall, USCs athletics are pretty strong so not sure about the OPs terrible troll attempt.

What you just read was "hey everyone considers football, basketball, and baseball to be the top 3 collegiate sports but I'm going to put soccer on par with that because Clemson's had some recent success."

'Everybody' doesn't think like that.
I know soccer was most popular sport at my high school in Florence.
Clemson has been good in soccer since early 1970s....it isn't just 'recent' success.
Baseball and soccer are nowhere near basketball and football for most people. The reason you talk about baseball is SC won two titles, and there isn't much to talk about regarding football and basketball.
I had to dig the other day to find baseball scores on ESPN and many of the scores were not posted during the games. The baseball scores are listed under 'College Sports'. College baseball doesn't even get its own heading on the frontpage of ESPN.
I personally don't care about soccer or baseball.

I like SCAR unless we're playing. Jealous of those baseball nattys. Final Four last season. Solid FB program. SCAR is solid.

No, you're just too stupid to realize how stupid you really are. Of course you're naming soccer over baseball, because Clemson has had success in soccer and not much (if at all) in baseball. But you're pretty blatant....
Even in the 2015-16 season - the season Clemson lost to Stanford in the soccer championship game, Clemson baseball pulled a higher attendance than the soccer did. And it's the same for every season before and afterwards.
Why is that? It's because not everyone else is as stupid as you are. Baseball reigns supreme in the Southeast over soccer, regardless what you think. You're welcome to keep on thinking it too, because you look better to me being the stupid one. But even your own pathetic fanbase thinks you're stupid in this regard......
