6-6, shutout by our rival... we goin bowlin!

Clemson only lost 2 games more than last year. Claiming they are a shell of themselves is incorrect

Did you even watch any of our games?

We sucked.

Many of our wins came down to our opponents giving the games away on their last possessions.

Regardless, I think Beamer did well in his first year - a winning regular season, some wins over some big name programs, and a bowl berth.

How'd you guys finish last year? I'd say that's a helluva an improvement in only one year.

You guys really oughtta give him a couple of recruiting cycles before you start calling for his head.

Clemson didn't become a playoff team overnight, it took years. And even along the way we still took an asswhooping every now and then (including five from you).

Patience.....

No I didn’t watch any of your games. I think Beamer did an admirable job considering what he inherited. May need a new OL and OC though.

To ImmaTiger:
Very fair, Clemson man.

I tip my hat to you, sir.

I was happy for you guys when you beat Florida, I bet that felt great.

I actually pulled for you when you guys played Auburn.

That's how we started our "rise": wins over big name programs.

Yes, we still took some beat downs, but - believe it or not - you need those to become an elite program.

They keep you honest (with yourself), they keep you "hungry", and they force you to continue to get better and not get lazy by riding a few "signature wins" here and there.

That looks remarkably like what Beamer has done for you this year.
 
Can anyone advance a credible idea as to whom among the teams we could reasonably expect to meet in a bowl might we expect to beat?

If Beamer wants to give himself a reasonable chance of not winding up on the ash heap of aspiring head coaches, he will need to make changes at both these positions.

You've faced two of the best D's around.

I can't imagine you'd draw a bowl team with a stonger D than those two.

Food for thought, from one highly-analytic CFB fan to another....

I get it, but maybe read my posts and post history before you cast stones.

Been a member here for quite a while (longer than you) - and I've never flamed your program.

I'm simply an analytic CFB here talking football.

My apologies if I offended you.
 
No offense taken.. just don't give two shits what a taters opinion is on our program. I wouldn't give a nickel to be a member of taternet or whatever other forum you have at moo u.

Fair enough.

To answer your orginal question: I'm still up waiting on my wife ( a Gamecock) to get back from the game to our home in Georgia.

A true Gamecock, she and her friends stayed until the game was over.

I have heard and been lead to believe that the 5 consecutive losses to us is what spurred y'all to the upper echelon of college football. Guess we can blame Spurrier for the success y'all have achieved......... 🤣

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you on that one.

I don't think we become "elite" without that gut-check.

How great does your basketball fit in?

Kinda my point: it doesn't.

If you're not a BB school, the ACC is useless.

Win the ACC conference championship in BB, everyone holds you in high regard. You get high-seed spots in the brackets and no one questions it.

Win the ACC conference championship in football, no one gives a sh!t.

You can even go on to win the CFB NC, still no one gives a sh!t you won the ACC in FB.

The ACC would be throwing favors (and $$) your way to have your BB programs right now.

Dabo moved quick to get rid of coordinators not cutting it. Hope Beamer does the same
 
Clemmons still has talent no doubt, but the best Watson, and the best Lawrence Tater squads beat this Tiger team by 30 minimum, and they both sit the 4th Q. Lordt, Tee Higgins, Amari Rogers, Ross….now some guy, some guy, Will Weeny? A shell indeed…..

I knew SC was not good, but to get beaten this badly by a mediocre ACC team is disgraceful!! Oh well it happened!! The Cocks let the whole conference down!!

Are you seriously saying the ACC would love to have our Mens basketball program? Haha that’s a good one!
