I get a call from him today and he gets on the subject of recruiting. His words "at least my tigers have talent"

I just sent him the screenshot after Anderson committed of the 247 rankings. Taters rustled.


Yall just be thankful yall dont live in the upstate and have to deal with these idiots in person every single day.

I can only imagine.

I've got good friends up there in Gaffney, Spartanburg and Greenville and they say it's been rough the past few years.

These things swing back and forth. They'll stumble here soon enough and we'll overtake them and then make life hell on them again. It's the natural order of things in this state.

I honestly believe that, if we surpass them again in the near future we could pass them for awhile. We've got more fans in this state than do they and we're built for the longer haul being the Flagship University, being in the SEC and having so much more money than them in terms of an athletic department budget.

I'm right outside spartanburg, went to woodruff HS, if you're familiar. It's a 75/25 split clemson majority fanbase here. And all my cousins are in either gaffney or Anderson.

Their is a contingent of their fans that's saying it's some kind of conspiracy and that their recruits aren't getting the bumps in ratings they should so that they'll be behind us in the rankings.

They would flat die before simply admitting the talent gap between us and them is closing.

Yep, spartanburg is my stomping grounds. I work in greenville though so I end up even closer to them all.

Speaking of the taters....isn't this cute of them? Sounds familiar, don't y'all think?

Get the hell out of the Upstate and come to Horry and Georgetown Counties. It's 2 to 1 Gamecocks here easy.

To be fair that money means shite if ray keeps funneling it to olympic sports instead of football and basketball. Im all for helping them and keeping them up to par, but if we are to pass clemson we have to focus that money on football, its that simple.

Olympic Sports were long overdue.

I thought the FootballOps building will be completely paid for by the time we move in? I know it's already close and boosters are lining-up for naming rights for both rooms and the building itself. $1 million per minimum.
