    OT: Animal House is on right now.

    I love pretty much all of these movies (haven't seen Murder by Death yet). Stripes is underrated. Dr. Strangelove and The Graduate aren't really supposed to be hilarious romps, so if you go into those movies expecting to see another Animal House, you will be disappointed. There aren't a ton of...

    OT: Animal House is on right now.

    I watched it for the first time on VHS when I was a teenager, which is probably the best time to watch it. Up until I was about 20, I basically thought it was the funniest movie I had ever seen. As I've gotten older, I'd say I like it a good bit less. I'll still watch it, but it is pretty...

    So the ACC went 0-6 in bowls/playoffs?

    At this point, it's hard to deny that the ACC was grossly overrated this year. Basically 1 or 2 pretty good teams and a bunch of garbage below. And Clemson got clowned for the 2nd year in a row. The playoff committee needs to think long and hard before putting teams from that conference into the...

    Paying Players - REAL TALK

    The difference is that there isn't money in HS, middle school, and travel ball. No billion dollar TV contracts, sky high ticket prices, coaches making millions, etc. I've never paid a dime nor will I ever pay a dime to watch a travel ball team and there aren't entire cable channels dedicated to...

    Excited OSU won but I’m very sad

    I'm usually not one to revel in Clemson losses in times where we suck. But last night was glorious. After being fed the Clemson hype machine all season by the media, seeing Dabo's behavior all year, and the sign stealing controversy, last night was like seeing Hans Gruber falling off Nakatomi...

    Trevor Lawrence...

    Watson is the best QB in state history. I'd take Lawrence today for Carolina, but I don't buy the generational talent hype. I was certain they'd win 3 national titles with Lawrence after that first Bama game. Glad he didn't come close to rising to those expectations.

    No matter the sport, teams play badly occassionally, but

    TOSU played a tougher schedule, even if it was shorter.

    A question for all of you learned college football fans concerning opting out of bowl games except the playoff games.

    Times change. It might come to that. The money wasn't there 40 years ago like it is now. College football is a developmental league as it is now, and it's naive to think otherwise.

    A question for all of you learned college football fans concerning opting out of bowl games except the playoff games.

    To some extent this is true, but substantially fewer people would be playing football if the potential for big time money wasn't there. Take out the potential for huge financial payoffs and the number players who are in it for the love of the game will increase.

    A question for all of you learned college football fans concerning opting out of bowl games except the playoff games.

    Indeed. The issues everyone are complaining about center on one thing: money. Take the money out, and you'll have your scrappy guys playing for the love of the game again. Until then, this is what you get if you want your SEC network, $9 million a year coaches salaries, $300 tickets, etc.

    What school has the most bowl losses before its first bowl win

    For those who often complain about how being in the SEC has ruined us, it is ironic that about 80% of our football program's successes, including 100% of its bowl wins ) have occurred since we joined the Conference.

    A question for all of you learned college football fans concerning opting out of bowl games except the playoff games.

    The game has lost some of its innocence. There are several steps to bring that innocence back to the days where George Rogers, Dickie Harris, and Jeff Grantz were around 40-50 some odd years ago. 1. TV deals would have to be drastically reduced. You want football innocent like it was in 1970 or...

    I Don't Care About What We Deserve

    A common theme on this board is people saying we should've declined our bowl invite because we don't "deserve" to be there. We didn't earn it. My response: who cares? College football isn't about getting what one deserves. If programs got what they deserved, Clemson would have been stripped of...

    Heres an idea. Dont watch.*

    I will selfishly watch our bowl game and not lose a minute's sleep over whether we "deserve" to be there or not. As a Gamecock fan, I've "deserved" better my whole life from our football program and have rarely gotten satisfaction. Our program has gotten screwed many a time by bizarre rules and...

    Coaches And Their Choice Of Car - Mostly On Topic

    To be fair, I've seen a bunch more oldsters on this forum attack the younger generations than vice versa. This coming from an oldster. If you can't take it, don't dish it out. Generations attacking each other is so stupid. Anyone who reads history knows that this kind of generational sniping is...

    Mod's, can you please clean up all these negative comments

    The board is pretty negative, but it's a negative time for our men's programs. People want to vent a little. I'm a Beamer supporter and think it is counterproductive for people to continue to bash the hire. It's a done deal so give him a chance. But yeah, I don't think moderating out complainers...

    Beamer to change Logo, Uniforms and Helmets?

    Garcia is quite passionate about Beamer getting the job here

    One thing I question is how much importance to place on the opinions on our former players. How many former players do we have that were on SEC championship or national championship teams? If our goal is to get to that level, we don't have any former players who know what it takes. Should we...

    Name a power 5 program that is historically very much like ours

    You're right, of course. It can happen here. We've just had a lot of coaches who weren't up to the task for a long time. Spurrier, Holtz, Morrison, and Carlen were up to the task to some extent but age/health and politics capped their success. We've had a whole lot more guys over the years who...
