How is that different than, Jadeveon Clowney on Tajh Boyd: "He is scared every time we play them. I know he's listening to this right now but I'm telling the truth."
Singular vs plural firstly.
Clowney was trash talking Boyd. Pre game. To get in their heads. I personally think it's stupid to say things like this unless you know you are going to be able to back them up. It leaves a wide open door afterwards if you don't back up your talk.
Boulware said this AFTER the game. It was painfully obvious that Clempson dominated that game. The typical decorum after a game is 'Humble in victory, gracious in defeat'. I don't think some of the Gamecock players were very gracious in defeat either but the point is what Boulware said. In the end, it's stupid to argue about because both sides say stupid things after each win/loss in the rivarly. (summary below)
If you don't see the difference between those two statements... holy ****.
Clempson fans after the 2009 game, "The Gamecocks only won because Spiller was sick"
Spurrier after 2009 game, "It was a wonderful win"
Eric Norwood after 2009 game, "It feels like we are 10-0".
Swinney after the 2010 game, "To lose to USC is very unacceptable," "Our future is bright, but it's awful dark right now."
Alshon Jefferies after 2010 game, "Man, this is a great win,"
Spurrier after 2010 game, "We've done some firsts this year," "There's another first out there we're going to try to do next."
Swinney after the 2011 game, "We're just not playing winning football. It's as simple as that,"
"That's the most disappointing thing to me coming out of this game -- we let the quarterback beat us,"
Shaw after the 2011 game, ""I knew coming into this game Clemson had a trouble with mobile quarterbacks,"
Spurrier after the 2011 game, "There's nothing wrong with the way we're playing, if you can run the ball decently, you got a chance to score some points and you got a defense like we got,"
Spurrier after the 2012 game, "When we play Clemson, they don't seem to play very well,"
Swinney after the 2012 game, "We just couldn't stop them on third down. The third quarter was huge. We had too many penalties, too many turnovers and South Carolina did a great job of controlling the ball,"
Pretty quiet after this game regarding the players.
Swinney after the 2013 game, "Just give them credit. We never had six turnovers before,"
Clempson fans after the 2013 game, "The Gamecocks only won because we turned it over six times"
Spurrier after the 2013 game, "They're a good team that continues not playing very well against us,"
Boyd after the 2013 game, "We hurt ourselves for the most part every time we play these guys,"
Gallman after the 2014 game, ""We're all coming back,'' he said. "We're not going anywhere.''
Overall very humble from the Clempson players
Elliott after the 2015 game, "Our team fought to the very end. Players believed, they came out, they fought,"
Watson after the 2015 game, "We were just worrying about this game, achieve one of our goals and be state champs and that's what we did. The national championship will take care of itself."
Then you have the 2016 game. A completely different player demeanor after the game. Clempson got the reckoning they wanted after the Orange Bowl beatdown from WVU in 2012. I still remember hearing the WVU players amazed that the Clempson players were asking them to take it easy, the game was already won. Hopefully that disaster on last Saturday can be the catalyst the Gamecocks need to get back.
You can't really believe that?
