The sheephumpers are #1 in flag sales. (Little known fact, Fly Those Flags was started by a Gamecock fan who made millions) ... but the sheephumpers sell a lot of flags, especially lately.

kind of crazy how you got all these pics of sheep humping on your computer ready to post.
is your excuse your clemson friend sends them to you....
Clemson does have the old sheep barn on campus...is that basis for your sheep thing about Clemson?
They renovated it recently to make it a student hangout.

With all the top recruiting classes Alabama gets, how on earth did these recruits who participated in this poll pick Bama so low? Sounds like total garbage and a guy who just likes a few of the top 3 teams. I'm not buying any of it period!

i can't vouch for any of it except who they got at no. 1.
that seems legit.
thing about Bama is...there are a lot of kids who go there b/c their parents force them to or pressure them to. We saw a kid go against his momma this week to go to Florida. I thought that was great.
when you see Saban on television, does he seem like a person average recruit would want to deal with on regular basis. lol be honest. He's a hardazz. That means those kids's papa bear and mamma bears making the commit decision to Bama, not the kids.
this survey is of kids who are listing their top colleges without any pressure that the elite recruits get.

Yeah... you’re probably right...
Greatest college football coach of all time.
Best facilities in the country.
Best nutrition/S&C training in the country.
More players drafted in the first round over the last decade than any program in a single decade probably ever.
2 Heisman Trophy winners in the last 9 years, with dozens of other national award winners.
5 National Championships in 9 years.
The 2016 senior class broke the NCAA record for most wins by any senior class ever... only to have their record broken by the 2017 senior class.
Yep. They only come here because their parents want them to. Please list all the advantages Penn St, Michigan St, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Auburn have over Alabama. TIA.

It's neat they have nice looking graphs and clearly put a lot of effort in, but this
negates the whole thing and makes it irrelevant.
Because it doesn't account for reality. There's an inherent reality-bias built in.
The reality is that they didn't get offers from everyone. And probably pissed at schools that passed on them or have an offer contingent on if they miss out on a guy they wanted more than you (2nd choice).
And 1 recruiting class is an awful sample size. It's like going down one street in a city and every house has the flu then saying, "aw man, everyone in this town has the flu."
And also the Alabama factor.
Alabama not being #1 negates this whole thing because, I mean, come on.

What did I just read? What a garbage website.

Oregon - #5
Stanford - #9
UCLA - #12
Alabama -#19
Guess that's why Oregon is swimming in championships and Alabama is chasing all those PAC12 powers.

Oh, he didn't say 'want'. He said 'force'. Apparently he has some pretty twisted ideas about family dynamics. Must be from all the beatings and inbreeding in his.

Here's why Clemson ranked high:
Perhaps next time, these people can poll recruits with a slight prayer of actually being recruited by the real powers, not a bunch of local kids who want to make it big at the school they grew up cheering for. I'm a Vandy fan and grad. If you ask me where I'd want to play football as a top recruit, I'd want to head to Nashville and lead us to a major bowl. If I had actually been an 18 year old with number one in the nation 5* talent and ambitions toward the NFL, no fricking way would I pick Vandy.
Also, the link for the book and site was a nice marketing touch.

If by being your favorite logo to piss on is what this means, then yes, Clemson is indeed #1.

Have you ever been outside of the state of Georgia?
Penn State is THE power football team of Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. Hell, of everything north of Philadelphia for that matter. Aside from ND, which has a trans-regional religious appeal that applies up there, Penn State the major college football team of a whole region of America.

1. Tillman shows up and posts a thoughtful, well-researched article with undeniable scientific research.
2. The Rant sees Tillman is the poster.
3. The Rant looks at it, sees Clemson is #1 and SEC schools are not 1-14.
4. Collectively lose their shite.
The country has spoken. Dabo is one of the most well liked sports figures around. Y'all don't like him cause he's been winning, but if you get out of Opelika or Many or Blythewood you'll see it.
Clemson and the brand Dabo has built are the future. Time marches on. These high school kids have seen Clemson being at least pretty good since they were in middle school. He's on TV all the time with that smile, always upbeat and always pitching Clemson.
