Call me what you want but as long as my money goes to both schools. I will continue to be = fans of both.
Dabo finally dips into the portal

Give it up. You are outed. You are a Clempson Tiger fan and homer. Just because your wife sends $ to her alma mater from your household budget gives you zero standing here. Or maybe its a kids tuition money to THE University of South Caroline. In either case, C U in November.

Your opinion in this matter means nothing. I know where I stand. One can pull for both sides of a rival even if you don’t agree with it. My wife is not the one pushing to give money to USC. I made that decision. She would tell you real quick it’s not a big a deal to her. I however enjoy going to USC games and choose to spend the money for tickets and parking.
there is always sooooo much talk about "nefarious" activities and NCAA violations up there in Clemson yet no one takes them on or provides hard evidence. I'm alllll for bringing down the house on people that are doing things illegal but just saying "they are doing illegal things" without true evidence is just ridiculous. Does Newspring look "interesting" with Clemson, NO DOUBT but prove it. So tired of hearing people bemoan teams that "cheat" but never really back it up.

Are you kidding? Hurts remained on the team after losing the starting role 5 games into the season, but he contributored to the team in a back up role and put together a comeback for an injured Tua in the SEC-CG.
KB was benched for TL following game 4...so he QUIT and was never seen on a CU practice field again. KB could have finished the season and would have received a ring, but he choose not to.
My status as fan, donor and ALUMNI does make my opinion matter on South Carolina athletics on a South Carolina athletics board. At least more so than a graduate of Clempson College.
Spend on. You can claim to be a full supporter of both programs all you want. Your comments here on South Carolina along with your Clempson degree say otherwise.
It’s laughable to suggest Dabo all of a sudden became an elite recruiter after years of mediocrity & getting his ass handed to him annually by Spurrier. It defies all logic and common sense, just as Ole Miss’ meteoric rise under Freeze did.
Somebody will talk someday, once Dabo is gone & NIL has fully washed out the notion that paying players is wrong. Until then, we can all enjoy watching CU crash back down to Earth due to the end of Dabo’s best competitive advantage.
Just my memory, but his rise wasnt really meteoric, his good classes came even when he was losing to spurrier.
Imho, it was bringing in an aggressive OC who attracted talented skill players. It was a "fun", video game offense, and with the acc schedule, he could sell successful seasons even while losing to spurrier badly.
Then, the success bred its own recruiting.
Edit: Just to see if I remembered correctly, I looked up the rivals rankings.
Starting in 2006, the classes were:
16, 16, 12 (Dabo takes over full time), 37 (only signed 12?), 19, 8, 14, 14, 13, 4, 6....
So there was that one class ranked 8, but his third class I think lines up with the new OC. And there was then the jump to single digits, but that was after selling acc titles and bcs games.

Agreed. While he was getting stomped by Spurrier he was quietly building a monster.
What is cute is you thinking your Clempson grad opinion on South Carolina athletics matters at all.
You do realize that some people have to go to Clemson because USC doesn’t have their major. If USC had a forestry program I would have gone there.
Where you graduate from had no bearing on who you are a fan of sorry. Sometimes you go to the school that’s the better decision for your career. Hence Clemson fans going to law school or medical school at USC.
I have a neice that went to USC but pulls for Clemson. They had the major she wanted
Actually I do realize that. I know several myself. And they dont present themselves as unbiased, middle of the road, "fans" of both schools. My best friend is as orange as can be. Has degrees from both schools. Not a Gamecock fan.
You are trying to say on this board one can legitimately be a fan of both schools. In your case, I dont buy it. And that is my prerogative. And no you don't have to agree.
I don't think one can truly be a fan of and pull for both schools. You're either a Gamecock or a Tiger, period, which is the way that it's supposed to be IMO. I want them to lose if they're playing a game of checkers against the Taliban. Tiger fans I know feel the same about us.
