Thanks for the well informed post. Good for you.

Threads like these remind me that Clemson fans are the most insecure group of people in America.

Yes.

No. South Carolina should be a good team more often than not moving forward. It’s an attractive job and has the money to compete thanks to being in the SEC. Both the Carolinas and Georgia produce enough talent that it shouldn’t be hard to get top 20-25 classes to South Carolina.

Spurrier built that program up and were close to that next level but he quit giving a shite and gave up.

South Carolina was fun to watch when Spurrier had them winning. What was his reason for for giving up and quitting during the middle of the season?

?

I have nothing against Mississippi State. I wish them the best.

Luck or fate decreed that the schools they were to play annually had storied programs and/or elite recruiting grounds, while they split players from their smaller than most SEC state with another school - who can say exactly the same thing.

Actually, while I have nothing aginst A&M, I'd love to have MSU as a permanent opponent - but we aren't any closer than Kentucky, so why would MSU want to make that change?

They have had some good teams over the years but never could get over that hump to get to that next level. They have come close a couple times with Spurrier and Morrison. Morrison had some very good teams but unfortunately Morrison passed away and his replacement failed. Spurrier built that program up and were close to that next level but he quit giving a shite and gave up.

Quick question here for all the sheep humping sister banging taterheads that like to hang around here, spending their time here throwing that BCS bowl thing at us .... like we give a frick. lulz

How would Clemson have fared in the SEC during those Spurrier years .... when Clemson was actually going to BCS bowls (after being mudholed by THE U of SC those five straight years.). I mean, would Clemson have gone to a BCS game during those years?

Second question, bonus question.

If we’re historically a mediocre program, and we were, no doubt about it .... but if that’s true and let’s say we erase that 0-21 run that Brad Scott inflicted upon us ... let’s say we go 10-11 during that horrible nightmarish stretch instead, then what would our overall winning percentage be?

You know, fat bradstard Scott, your fat frick god and father of that cheating frick Jeff Scott who will, I almost guarantee it, eventually go down for cheating and will be declared ‘show cause.’

And finally, just an observation. lulz but you taterheads keep me laughing, well, snickering actually ... y’all are so damned obsessed with the Gamecocks. Sometimes I’m like WTF these people live breath and die obsessed with the Gamecocks. We are literally your entire lives ... we live in your heads from birth. Y’all have been that way, collectively, for as long as I can remember. I mean pathologically obsessed.

LULZ I love it! Thank you!

well iirc we had the #3 recruiting class like 65% of the way thru recruiting season 2013-14 and Spurrier says something like “yeeeeah only gonna do lone 2 more years lol” and the recruits all panicked and left, recruiting class was then garbage (like fcs level garbage) and it showed. He made possibly the most putrid collection of goat smellin’ losers as his coordinators on the defensive side (see Jon Hoke, “Whammy” Ward, not the same timeframe but I’m gonna throw in the whole VanGorder fiasco too) and it showed when the wave of usually-go-to-Georgia-or-Clemson or diamond in the rough prospects (See also Alshon, Lattimore/Mike Davis, Clowney or 2* turned first rounder Melvin Ingram) stopped coming here. Also, we had three straight busts at QB: Connor Mitch/Lorenzo Nunez/McElewain and I think one time starter Perry Orth was a goddamn walk on. Also our running back commits that have been anything over 3 stars since Mike Davis have been frickin’ garbage (lookin’ at you David Williams.) I’ll throw in Shaq Roland too cuz I thought he was gonna be good but stunk like used toilet paper in the trash.

Among P5 programs? No. Not even close.
Among P5 flagship programs? Maybe.

As per the 1 conference title, no doubt it is garbage but we have spent about half our history as an independent.

What about the other 76 seasons?

Where did he transfer to? I haven’t anything about him since he did transfer. Did he go the baseball route instead?

Wow. Didn’t realize that.

Wasn’t he one of the top H.S baseball prospects? I could be thinking of someone else but I thought he could have been drafted in the first couple rounds in the MLB draft right out of HS.

He was but he couldn’t even really make the baseball team here ... wanted to play two sports.

His mother got very involved, went on the attack on social media claiming Bentley got preferential treatment because of his dad .... even though McElwain had been given several chances before the Tennessee game.

I was standing there talking to Boom at a Garnet Society luncheon in The Zone when Boom got the text that McElwain was in his office with his Mom.

McElwain is a good kid. He came here with good intentions. He was brought here with good intentions. He gave it his best shot and he is a good athlete and I hope he does well in life. He seems to be doing pretty good at Cal Berkeley. That place is a much better fit for him than him trying to compete in the SEC.

It was kinda bad timing for him here as well.

Good kid though. If his mother had stayed out of it who knows.
