Sorry but Dabo is as by the books as they come. If your going to try to diminish the outstanding job recruiting they've done you'll have to do better than that
Clemson is on very solid ground and it all started with
- Thread starter Cock_Donor
- Start date
Quote from the state paper. IPTAY money is used to pay back the state.
At the time, Clemson officials said the Upstate university was using state-owned aircraft more often than in previous years because Clemson had sold one of the two planes it owned. Clemson said paying to use a state-owned plane was cheaper than chartering aircraft. As of October, Clemson had reimbursed the state $90,455 for 30 flights

What you need to understand, is that it is impossible for only one SEC team to open against an SEC opponent.
You did notice the article that said IPTAY was forking over the cost for the plane right?? So no tax payer money for the schools new jet. Clemson's other plane is a small turbo prop.

Conner shaw was a 3 star. SC must spend more money on recruiting and send these coaches every where to recruit. Also, watch Clemson fans on twitter, Facebook, they will connect with our new recruits and will take them. These 18 year old kids are easy prey for their football fans to talk them over. Something to thank about
Including playing and hiring people that beat women, playing and lying to injured players, lying to players about their draft stock, and flaunting your position in front of the law.
No offense but you and most others are missing the point here. Their d-line coach was tops in tax payer funded travel on their staff at $26K in 2014. that ranked 19th at the university..in 2015 that same coach was 6th in travel on the staff and his travel $ doubled to over $50K..in 2015 they had six FB coaches average $75K in taxpayer funded travel costs in 1 YEAR! Clemson didn't have a coach in the top 150 yearly state funded travelers in previous decade and this past year they have 4 of the top 6 in the ENTIRE state system of SC. That is not a sudden change in recruiting tactics.. But what is it?
I will never pull for or support UPC under any circumstances. I will also not make a fool out of myself by attempting to minimize what they have accomplished in a year in which they replaced 8 starters from what was a great defense. They have earned their ranking up to now.
Guys, these responses are pathetic. I mean give it a rest and man up. Clemson is not breaking any NCAA rules and when you start this garbage it just makes you, the poster, look silly and immature. Heck, maybe I'm just too old for all of this hate.
Nobody give 2 cat craps what you think on here, clempson is dirty, your coach is greasy and sleeps with his mother, now go seek validation from your wooly herd. You won't find it here.
It hasnt happened yet. And ya'll are still clemsux. Go pull a clemsux somewhere else.

Bro, if you open against an SEC team, then the SEC team you're playing is obviously opening up against an SEC team too. WTF?
And you opened against an ACC team
Actually this argument came up when it was first announced Clemson wanted to by a jet. The turbo prop that SC owns isnt that much cheaper to operate in a yearly basis.
The King Air 350 USC owns cost about 230,000 a year in fixed cost (insurance, hanger, pilot training, etc). It has a average operating cost of 1880.23 an hour.
The Citation C2 had a fixed cost of around around 310,000 a year with a average operating cost of 1360 an hour.
Even though the fixed cost is 80,000 more a year if you use the plane a lot the 500 less an hour operating cost will more than make up the difference.
Lets assume 400 hours flight time a year
King Air cost 752,000
C2 cost 544,000
The King Air is bigger and will carry more passengers so it has its upside compared to the smaller jet but cost isnt one of them.
Clearly no Carolina fan is happy about these rankings. Taters earned it, but as our former coach liked to say, "It is what it is." And what it is is a meaningless ranking that may or may not hold come January. Look at week 11 last year: the top 4 teams were Mississippi State, Auburn, FSU, and Oregon. Of those teams, MSU lost 3 of their last 5 games, Auburn lost 4 of their last 5 games, FSU showed that they didn't belong in the playoffs, and #4 Oregon was the only team that acquitted themselves well. Hey, South Carolina sucks and Clemson is very good this year. No one is denying that. But you all haven't won anything yet.
Unsubstantiated claims are the way of the Internet world...opinion is confused with fact to the point where some folks actually start to believe their lies. It's cool to be ranked #1 again, even with a lot of football left and any S.Car fan that says they don't wish their team was is not being honest. Hopefully Clemson continues to win and makes the playoffs. That would be a great day for the State.
I was dying laughing at the dude that said strength of schedule & clemsux in the same sentence. He's drunk on something. Has he forgotten about the first 2 games? App st and wofford?? ND is the only team with any kind of pulse, but they aren't that great. Louisville is a disappointment. So which teams are pulling up your strength of schedule? This will be fun to watch.
"We are the only SEC team starting out with SEC play." Reading comprehension appears to escape you as well.
Thats must be why we have home and home series with Auburn and Texas A&M over the next four years. Auburn next year is our opener.
????? You get your dates mixed up or something?? Looks like a ton of FBS match ups to me. Looks like a fine first week slate of games to watch.

Solid numbers there Shilltiger. What is your opinion on the numbers in my last post.
As many Clemson fans have pointed out on here, App St. will likely end the season at 11-1 and in the top 25. You don't have to believe it or acknowledge it, but they're a legitimate team. ND isn't that great, but according to the committee and both major polls, they still represent the biggest win of the cfb season so far. You discount them because it was Clemson who beat them. You don't really need to be that big of a homer. Having rational discussions is fun, too. You should try it.
To those who say rankings right now don't mean anything are clueless or blind. That's exposure, that gets you national coverage that get recruits thinking about your program. Being the 12 o'clock opponent for some team better than you on Jefferson Pilot or whatever is pure misery. The only thing we have to be happy about as Gamecock fans is the fact they don't have a 10 am kickoffs on Saturday or we would be pencilled in for that.
The media loves ND and clemsux squeaked by. Good for you. App St is still a FCS 1-A school. So which other school makes your schedule so difficult & strengthy?
Like another guy said, there's a bulls-eye on your back now. It'll be fun to watch.
"My" schedule? Oh, right. If I don't say "clemsux" every third word of my posts, then I'm obviously a tater. Are you 12? Do you talk like this in real life?
Dont know to be honest. You would have to have more information like how many trips in 2014 vs 2015, how many were outside of the southeast compared to the previous year, etc before you could make any real educated guess on why the increased cost. I don like conspiracy theories about money being used for X, Y or Z.
So it is true. Everyone knows your're a clemsux fan. With your post #23. Are you 11? Hehehe.
Been away from the TV or interwebs for a few years now?? App St moved up to FBS.
