I don't know about glory. You beat us Saturday. Congratulations. only the rest of the season will tell us how good Georgia is, though. Right now you have beaten a SEC team, period. No way of telling if you beat a good SEC team, average SEC team or bad one. But a victory is a victory. be proud of it, but don't let it go to your head just yet.

the overall series is irrelevant and we haven't played bottom half SEC teams in like 50 plus years. I wouldn't doubt if 80 percent of those games were on the road too so it is a dubious statistic. I bet if you start at 1975 and so and move until today Clemson has been 60-40 against SEC, at least 50-50. Given we have owned the program we play the most in SC, this isn't hard to beleive, we don't play UGA and other SEC schools enough to have a overal llosing record to SEC schools in last 40 years given our dominance over the one we play most.
SC is a historically bad program who has a nice run undre Spurrier but we can't just dismiss they are a historically bad program. If you going to brag about a 4 game run then it is legit for me to point out we done that to SC 4 times since 1980s including 8 of 9 at one point. They can't argue they are the better program until they beat us regularly without Florida's ex coach for one or two of the next coaches. I just don't see that happening but anything is possible, that is what makes college football fun and that is why Clemson is thriving right now.
It should be pointed out yet again that SC's success is more a function of how horrible the SEC East has become last 4 years than SC's talent. It is what it is. We cannot be afraid to admit this.

In 1985 UK beat Clemson 28-7 (a few years after Clemson's only MNC)
In 2006 UK beat Clemson 28-20
Because UK is a bottom benchmark for Clemson (who is supposed to be a superior ACC football school) and yet they still hold the 8-5 series edge. UK (SEC bottom feeder) > Clemson (ACC top feeder)
Bear Bryant left in the 1950's and that was the last time UK was a power in college football. The problem with your thinking is that you appear not to be very good at it.
W for UK in 52' and television was around
W for UK in 71' when color TV was around
W for UK in 85' when ESPN was around
W for UK in 06' less than a decade ago
In the TV age UK is 4-4 vs Clemson in college football
Clemson (ACC) = Kentucky (SEC)
Congrats on your mediocre football school

And again, some of these wins over Clemson may be 70 years ago for all I know, when the sports was completely different and not even televised.

just my luck a Kentucky football historian just happened to be on this board to expose me. LOL
We beat Kentucky in a bowl game recently, we split with them at the bowl in naaaassssshville and the lost was the year bowden was fired and replaced by his prodigy Dabo, I think.
SC has a losing record to Duke, and only only has better all time record than NC State, Duke, and Wake. Yet they have the 2nd best SEC record last 3 years or so. So a former ACC school with a horrible historic w-l record can dominate the best conference inthe history of football? LOL say it ain't so, lucy

First non-SEC team to beat two top 10 SEC teams back to back in football history.
Is SEC really the best conference if their top programs lose to Clemson?
Congrats on a big, miracle win over UGA. And extra congrats on a CFA Bowl Champ against a team that was dreaming of the draft...
Win something significant and we'll all be real happy for you.

i thought all SEC teams were good that is why it is best program ever?
I think they have one of the best offenses in the country, they are more like an ACC school on offense. We much rather play a SEC school with a QB who can't pass like LSU or FL. LOL
Clemson never disrespects opponents or take them for granted. I am worried about Maryland and Syracuse, both road games.

I really don't know how you would compare since 1975 and I don't have the patience to look it up. but in one sentence you say since you have owned South Carolina, then we can assume you have done well against the rest of the SEC since 1975. Then in another sentence you talk about how South Carolina is a historically bad program. You contradict yourself in most of your posts. If you want to make a legitimate point, let's either compare Clemson to ALL SEC teams in the last 10 years, or ALL SEC teams in the past 5 years..or all SEC teams historically. You can't pick and choose one or two games and proclaim you to be equals. Sorry. Life just doesn't happen that way. Now, if you want to go digging find your record against SEC teams since 1975, have at it. But don't assume anything. Give us raw data. YOU made the argument. back it up.

They are. But being good doesn't mean the lower tier can beat the upper tier of other conferences. However, if you want to compare the #1 SEC team to any #! team from another conference and #2 , then #3 and so on down the line, the SEC would probably win every matchup against every conference.
That is my opinion. If you disagree, then pick any conference and we will compare the teams and see how they match up right down the line.

yeah it is a miracle to beat a team that is faking injuries on the field so they can catch their breathe and look like they about to die at the end of the game and one where we sack dey pretty boy QB 4 times and also forced a fumble and intercepted twice and held them on the goalline 4 downs to force them to kick a FG which they didn't even get off.
After the first 17 minutes, UGA only scored 7 points until a meaningless one with a minute left.
Reality is, Clemson put college football on notice with these wins over LSU and UGA. There's a new kid in town, and we won't back down.

Coming back from the Bama game I was listening to the end of the UGA game. For some reason it was a Clemson broadcast. I must say I have never heard such redneck commentating

Possibly, but interesting when Ga Tech won 3 in the SEC and only 1 in the ACC and were in the SEC for a shorter time than the current ACC.

South Carolina is dominating the SEC? When did this happen? they haven't won a SEC Championship, have they?
And, I THINK they are dominating Clemson in that same time period, are they not? I say it IS so.

Seems I recall several Clemson players "faking" injuries.....oh. I'm sorry. It is only faking when another team does it, right? 
Posted on 9/2/13 at 10:13 am to DawgsLife
well it is all speculation. I mean, Clemson's win over UGA was more convinging than Bama's win over UGA in their title game last year and UGA basically has the same team. they lost a lot of players on defense from last year but considering how horrible that unit was, that is probably a good thing. LOL
A lot of sports experts think Clemson is the best team in the country and we could beat Bama. I will defer to the experts b/c I am humble.
Bama as a program has been miles above any other programs last 4 years. SEC teams don't get credit for playing in same conference with Bama.

when was this? Dabo is an ethical person who respects the game. I seen video clips of UGA doing this shady thing. Really, the NCAA should put UGA on suspension for at least a year for this.
Regardless, Clemson fans don't cry on the radio after a loss to a better team, not that we are losing too much these days. LOL
