Clemson 2008

With the way the past Gamecocks past 5 1/2 games went I would be hard pressed to call them the "Fighting Gamecocks"  Like was already discussed in the previous thread we can not determine who we play in the ACC.  We can't plan ahead with the thought of BC losin everyone.  We can't help that the revolving schedule has us playing UVA.  We can't help if matchups fall through and we are forced to pick up a Div II team to make up for this year. 

As of now we have games scheduled for the future against good teams.  That we can do something about.  You really have no reason of bashing Clemson anyways because South Carolina very rarely wins that game.  You enjoy your tough SOS and go 6-6, and we will be ranked at the end of the season.  I know I have no problem with that.

Except by the time you were "forced" (you weren't forced, your AD chose weak competition just for the sake of 8 home games), you already knew your ACC schedule and how weak it was going to be.  Your AD would probably schedule 12 home games against Div II-A foes if he wasn't forced by his conference to have away games.

There's no excuses.  Your AD most definitely chose the pathetic OOC schedule you have. 

I know, there's no denying it.  With a schedule like that you will be ranked.  But the ranking will be just as shallow as the one that got Hawai'i to the Sugar Bowl. 

Oh well, it's not like you guys are going to beat VT in the ACC title game, anyway.  Maybe you need to go ahead and move to a conference you can win, like the Sun Belt or something.

agreed! Clemson cant win the weak ACC so they need to move to an even weaker conference.

yeah, Carolina cant win the SEC either, at least not yet, but we also play tough teams that we're not expected to beat half the time.

"yeah, Carolina cant win the SEC either, at least not yet, but we also play tough teams that we're not expected to beat half the time."

Haha, congratulations. 

Actually they were forced because we had been set play La. Laf.  but they dropped us to play Miss. St. (Again, as I previously stated, they are not world beaters but they are Div I and we were in an agreement to play them this year).  So therefore, we had to pick up another Div II for this year only. 

This argument could go on forever but you can be happy with your 3-5 conference standings and padding our Wins along with most of your other conference teams.  We will continue to try to get to the ACCCG, which I have a very strong feeling that we will get there this year.  Enjoy going 6-6.  Maybe you guys should join the WAC, maybe that way you will get to go to a bowl game.

You should be careful what you say about Div II teams.  If I recall correctly, haven't Wofford and SC St given you guys a couple scares recently.

Hey, your talking to the wrong dude if you think I think highly of a Div I-A team that just barely squeaks by a Div I-AA, or worse, Div II-A team.  The difference is we've never scheduled Wofford and SCSt in the same year.

I have very little doubt you guys should finally make the ACC title game this year.  Afterall, look at the competition you'll have in your division this year?  If you don't make it this year, then you better making buy-out plans.  The problem is the accomplishment is nowhere near what it once was, and your guys, having not played a competitive game all year, won't be prepared to be there.

Look, La Laf should've been a blessing in disguise.  It should've been an opurtunity for your AD to beef up what has turned out to be an extremely weak schedule for you.  Your AD should've said to himself, "You know what, we've already got one FCS team on our schedule, I'm going to work my butt off to make sure we don't have a second."  Instead, he chose the easy way out, and cheated your team out of a quality football game.

But alas, I'm starting to see that you kitten fans don't care that you're going to have an untested and unproven team being thrown to the VT wolves in the what's become less than glorious ACC Title Game.  Maybe you could see if Colt Brennan is available to play qb in that game.

Repetitious drivel?  You're the one posting the exact same post in several threads.  Can't even come up with original thoughts. 

Defend the argument, if you can.  Otherwise, keep your distracting spittle to yourself.
