Hope you guys will stop with the conference BS.
We are 0-4 in our last 4 versus the ACC.
- Thread starter Raging Cock
- Start date
It’s pathetic. I’ve been optimistic. I am shocked. Our best player is Clemson’s 3rd string RB. Inexcusable.
anybody who posts any nonsense about the ACC, or worse A she - she being inferior from this point forward is an absolute fool.
Alabama is all we got. We have to say that or we got nothing
At least alabama beat Duke today. So we can cling to that.
Bad day for the University of the SEC. If that’s your thing.
Well they probably are top to bottom but it probably isn’t as big of a difference as people make it out to be. The middle to the bottom end of both conferences are pretty close.
USC is like a sloppy fat SOB who has no self-respect and whose only thoughts are "Whas on the buffet today, Dog".
That mentality is why we continually underestimate opposing conferences and teams. We act like we should just win because we are in the SEC. The contempt we show teams like UNC and UVA is hilarious and then we are shocked when they hit us in the mouth.
Tommy Suggs is shocked???!!!!. UNC doubled our yardage. They should have beaten us by more. I will make it my mission to call out all you SEC chest thumpers. Our players and fans buy into that BS. SEC fanboys... Just stop it.

He was the leading rusher today and got the most touches. They seemed hell bent on feeding him the rock straight up the middle. He had 13 for 72. 1 of those was a 34 yd TD. So the rest of the game he had 12 carries for 38 yards. Not his fault they kept asking him to run into the back of his linemen who were getting blown up.
Even though that is certainly true, that's one of those things that just shouldn't be mentioned.
i am sick of it . Makes us look stupid .
Like 'em or not, Auburn acquitted itself with honor tonight. They had the kind of victory we have longed for. That crap in Charlotte today was a disgrace. Just as our most recent previous foray into Charlotte was a disgrace.
Our baseball team hasn't exactly owned it, either.
I would even say that Oregon acquitted themselves with dishonor more than Auburn did anything other than get incredibly lucky. They had no right to win that game, but Oregon's staff gave it to them on a silver platter.
When faced with a situation involving
1: any fan in the SEC
2: any fan in the acc
3 any Clemson fan
talking smack to you your best response is this...
WE HAVE NOTHING to stand upon! Just take it and move on!

Well we have the 50yr anniversary of our conference championship!! Cling to that too!
Who gives a fugg..? I dont care about the conference..I care about the Cocks, and we suck with Will Muschamp as our coach.
After that crap in charlotte was over, I turned off the tv. Didn't watch another minute of anything the rest of the night. Took a long walk with the dog. Had two more stiff drinks. I guess I could have watched some more football but I couldn't stomach it. . To me, we looked like the same team that was in charlotte the last time we were there.. receivers Dropped good passes. QB threw some Bad passes with ints. Cant stop the run. Cant establish the run. Occasional big special teams play. The only difference was that we scored some points instead of a goose egg.
I agree with most of your points until you listed Texas as being elite. Not sure when that happened recently?
No. We make ourselves look stupid by having unfounded expectations, and boasting about what we're going to do, before we see our product on the field.
stupid both ways. I am sick of it both ways. BUT, we can still win our division. Gotta make some magic. I just hope Champ can get this teams attention and get them to believe.
I was surprised that our DL got pushed around in the running game. Jake had some time on a lot of throws. But we did not control the line of scrimmage. Then again, I haven't had the time to watch some film and "evaluate'.
UNC got a lot of penetration, but they committed a lot of people to blitzes and stunts. They knew we couldn't account for all of them and they knew Bentley would panic and not be able to find or hit his receivers. We were about three passing opportunities away from winning that game, not all of them at the end. We missed them all.
There are not major differences in quality among the 5 Major/Power conferences (and the AAC is not that far off the P5).
That said, the factors that make it more likely for a league to be really good top to bottom year in and year out favor the SEC over the rest of us: sizable state flagships and Land Grant schools; direct access to large numbers of top recruits; states that are football-crazed; rich athletics departments that spend inordinately on football; large stadiums that are filled almost every week.
And it is true that the ACC has the least of those factors that favor consistent high quality football. Of the P5, the ACC easily has the least number of flagships and Land Grants; the ACC average student body size is easily the smallest; the ACC area features large areas in which basketball is about as popular as football; the ACC is filled with athletics departments that tend to sponsor a large number of very successful non-revenue sports
And the above placed together lead most SEC fans to assume that SEC football is always a beast while ACC football is always weak.
But the rest of the facts refute such a simplistic assumption. The Big Ten, for example, has always been HUGE in every way. But compare Big Ten National Championships to ACC National Championships starting with the 1970s. Compare ACC draft picks with Big Ten and Big XII and Pac draft picks.
The college football media has always stressed the 'big money' leagues and teams. When there were no, and then very few, TV games and most fans had no idea about quality among the regions and conferences, most people assumed that the Big Ten was the best, because that is what the media told them repeatedly - see all the media determined pre-1970s Big Ten Heismans and National Champs and Top 20 rankings.
It is not as bad as in, say, the 1950s, but the media still overhypes the Big Ten, and occasionally even the Pac. And that media now also overhypes the SEC. And that media usually is happy to overlook the ACC, to lead people to assume that ACC football must be lesser, even much lesser, than both the SEC and Big Ten, because, after all, those leagues are rolling in the dough.
