Clemson's success eating Spurrier up ...
Jan 18, 2014, 8:33 PM
|
|
It's eating him up ... sad old fart.
He beats Clemson 5 straight times and still the general national perception is that Clemson has the better program.
He cannot stand it that beating Ohio State and Urban Meyer in the Orange Bowl provides Clemson instant credibility while winning the "state championship" doesn't even create a blip on the radar for anyone outside the state.
The more he brings it up, the sillier he looks. If it wasn't absolutely killing him, he wouldn't feel compelled to talk about it so much.

It's not Clemson's success. It's his lack of it. He said
Jan 18, 2014, 8:38 PM

in August this was this best team. Yet he has little to show for it in January. It's killing him. Especially when he knows his team will be worse next year. He's having an 'end of career crisis' as he knows his best years are far behind him and it's all down hill from here. It's really quite pitiful.

This is what he has to show for it.....
The University of South Carolina was stripped of six football scholarships over three years by the National Collegiate Athletic Association and was put on three years probation after athletes got rooms in an off-campus hotel for less than $15 a day.
The school failed to monitor $59,000 of impermissible benefits given to current and prospective student-athletes, the NCAA announced yesterday.
A dozen South Carolina student-athletes received preferential housing prices, and a pair of university boosters provided illegal benefits to recruits from 2009 to 2011, the NCAA’s Division I Committee on Infractions said in an e-mailed statement. During the three-year probationary period, in which the Gamecocks can participate in all championship events, South Carolina must report to the NCAA annually about its compliance and educational efforts.
Other penalties include an $18,500 fine and a reduction of official visits for football recruits.
“It is important to note that the university agreed with nearly all of the allegations in this case,” Britton Banowsky, the chairman of the Committee on Infractions, said in a conference call with reporters. “It was obvious to the committee and to the staff that the university wanted to get to the truth. They wanted to ask all the hard questions of all the right people.”
From May 2009 to October 2010, a dozen Gamecocks lived in a local hotel for “considerably less” than prices available to the general student population, and nine of the student-athletes received special loan arrangements following deferred payments, according to the NCAA’s statement. In total, players were given approximately $51,000 in impermissible extra benefits from the living arrangements.
Boosters Provided Benefits
In addition, two boosters provided more than $8,000 for recruiting inducements and extra benefits, including cash, gift cards and funding of unofficial visits, the NCAA said.
South Carolina announced in December that it had responded to the NCAA’s notice of allegations regarding the impermissible benefits and recruiting. The school acknowledged violations had occurred in its football team in 2009 and 2010, and presented a number of self-imposed penalties endorsed by the NCAA’s infractions committee.
“The university regrets the past actions and decisions by individuals that resulted in violations of NCAA legislation,” Athletic Director Eric Hyman said in a statement on the school’s website. “We are pleased, however, that the Committee on Infractions found the corrective actions we have taken and the penalties we have self-imposed reflect the university’s commitment to full compliance with NCAA rules.”
Other penalties imposed by the Committee on Infractions include the indefinite disassociation of both the involved boosters and the local hotel, and a limit on official visits for men’s and women’s track and field recruits, according to the statement.

We know that and they know that. No Bama, No AuBum. No LSU, and No A&M on this years schedule for them. One of the easiest schedules in the sec and they still blew it. That makes them the sorriest #4 team ever in the country and college FB. Hey, but they are as proud as if they were a real true #4 team.

Where should they be ranked?
Give it a rest, they earned #4 fair and square, you people act as if the BCS, Coaches and Harris polls are filled out by Spurrier, Ray Tanner and their families and are one sided biased gamecock loyalists
You have computer, writers, and coaches all with input and Clemson loyalists are the ones in the country knocking them being ranked 4th by 3 different unbiased sources
The wins against top 10 teams guarantees they were ok more than the losses to unranked UGA and Tn say they suck. Keep in mind you can beat good teams and prove you are good while losing to mediocre teams
You can not however, lose to only decent ranked teams on the schedule and win the easy ones and still say you should be ranked higher

They are 4th because they couldn't make it to a BCS bowl. All the good teams who played good teams lost. They are there by default.

Agreed.
They benefited by not playing in a BCS bowl game.
Ironic that their lack of strength of schedule during the bowl season would allow them to move ahead of other teams. (considering all the whining about their strength of schedule during the regular season…)

Well when you have no chance of winning a conference
Jan 18, 2014, 9:56 PM

championship after having won a national championship it has to eat at you. Seeing Clemson having more national respect has to eat at him also after having won the head to head meetings. Seeing Clemson winning the BCS game over a power house program was the final straw I'm sure, especially when you know the future holds nothing but 2nd class post season bowls.

Clem has more national respect? How exactly is that? Make no mistake, the last few years have been witness to the greatest run in both Carolina and Clemson's history in terms of football success.
If this is the pinnacle of Carolina's success (no question), and the best the tigers have ever been (I'm sure some will contest that), how is this debatable?
Palmer said what the country already knew. Clemson is the little brother right now.
2 years winning 11 games? That's cool. Been there.
Top 10?
Yeah, it's nice isn't it?
If Clem had beat Carolina 5 years straight, convincingly on ESPN, I'm sure their network would give Clem the respect that you think you deserve.

I'm aware Clem owns the all time series. I'm ok with Clem being the better program in the past, as long as you're ok with Carolina being the better program presently.
But you're right, Carolina cheated, and nothing on the field matters.

Clemson has won a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. The present is by no means the greatest run in Clemson's football history.
Also, Clemson has 18 conference championships. SC has a division title and a couple capital one bowl wins. What's in your wallet?

When do you hear them hyping up SCAR? They like to blow Clowney's nuts, but ESPN and friends have no particular excitement for SCAR.
During this "run" of yours, you have zero conference titles, zero BCS bowl appearances (not even a single at large), and you've got your 11th win beating overmatched teams in crap bowl games.
Clemson has won the division twice, won the conference once, had two BCS bowl appearances, one BCS bowl win, and we've beaten every other SEC team we've played (including LSU, Auburn, and UGA teams that you have struggled to beat).
But keep thinking you are better respected, it's funny

Re: Clemson's success eating Spurrier up ...
Jan 18, 2014, 10:04 PM

I dont think ive ever seen such a delusional group of people in my entire college athletics fan life.
Lemme tell you how it looks from an outside point of view. South Carolina was 11-2, Clemson was 11-2. Clemson got slaughtered by my Noles, and then beat again on national television by South Carolina....AGAIN...IN PRIME TIME!
The ONLY thing clemson has on Spurrier right now is a conference championship and an Orange bowl win over an Ohio State team, that Im like 1000000% sure, if I looked over this forum, everyone here was calling overrated, and not very good.
And lets get real here, its not like Clemson earned a BCS spot. Clemson got lucky that FSU got into a national title game because Clemson would have been playin in the Chic Fil a bowl again. The Discover Default bowl was just good enough to get peoples attention.
Im an FSU fan, and I hate spurrier as much as the next guy, but if there is one thing I know about the guy, he doesnt give a flying crap about what Clemson has done. All he knows, is that four years ago, your million dollar man made the rivalry personal...And now he owns that rivalry. And it chaps all yalls butts. If it didnt, there wouldnt be 40000 threads on here devoted to Spurrier after he says something about spurrier.
BTW, how bad are yall gonna lose next season in Tallahassee?

Fact: Beating Clemson is the greatest accomplishment for Scar in their entire existence.
Fact: Clemson has 20 conference championships- 1 NC and several division titles.
Fact: Scar has 1 ACC Championship in their entire existence. The only Championship worth a ###.
Fact: beating Wisconsin this year was Scar's best bowl win EVER.
Fact: Clemson leads all time series 65-42.
So excuse me if I have absolutely no respect for the school with a freaking chicken as their mascot.
Also, stop sticking up for chickens. Makes you look pathetic.

And that is:
Spurrier doesn't give a hot fart about Clemson's success. Spurrier isn't "following" anyone on social media and would only know about any quotes out of Clemson if printed in an actual newspaper (that thing people in their 60s and 70s still read) or if some reporter told him a quote.
I am in the camp of those that believe Dabo's rant started all this. Don't give me the Spurrier started it with "We ain't Clemson" comment. Even if Spurrier did say that ### did it even mean? If that was trash talk it is about the most obscure and harmless trash talk I've ever heard.....it was nothing approaching the "Free Shoes University", etal.
Might as well get used to it because Dabo is giving it right back now, he's not staying quiet.

This is pretty hilarious for many reasons. FSU has recruited as well as anyone over the last ten years, but hasn't even been in the conversation for the MNC until this year. You forget your string of losses against a far inferior Clemson team, and you forget how often you laid similar bombs against mighty teams like Wake Forest and NC State. I'll give you props for this year, but you have got to be kidding me about the superiority complex.
I'm not going to talk trash about our game against you next year, but you are going to look awful silly if we come in and beat you. Nobody knows what kind of team we'll have next year, but do remember this: We've got a similar situation coming up to what you were in this year. A "re-building" year with some excellent talent.
It's why they play the games. FSU has played its fair share of awful games the last ten years, and you never know when it's going to happen. We are far more dangerous of a team than those Wake and NC State teams you stunk it up against in the past.

How do you figure that? Let me guess, you came to that conclusion living in Seneca? That is just wishful thinking...

The University of South Carolina was stripped of six football scholarships over three years by the National Collegiate Athletic Association and was put on three years probation after athletes got rooms in an off-campus hotel for less than $15 a day.
The school failed to monitor $59,000 of impermissible benefits given to current and prospective student-athletes, the NCAA announced yesterday.
A dozen South Carolina student-athletes received preferential housing prices, and a pair of university boosters provided illegal benefits to recruits from 2009 to 2011, the NCAA’s Division I Committee on Infractions said in an e-mailed statement. During the three-year probationary period, in which the Gamecocks can participate in all championship events, South Carolina must report to the NCAA annually about its compliance and educational efforts.
Other penalties include an $18,500 fine and a reduction of official visits for football recruits.
“It is important to note that the university agreed with nearly all of the allegations in this case,” Britton Banowsky, the chairman of the Committee on Infractions, said in a conference call with reporters. “It was obvious to the committee and to the staff that the university wanted to get to the truth. They wanted to ask all the hard questions of all the right people.”
From May 2009 to October 2010, a dozen Gamecocks lived in a local hotel for “considerably less” than prices available to the general student population, and nine of the student-athletes received special loan arrangements following deferred payments, according to the NCAA’s statement. In total, players were given approximately $51,000 in impermissible extra benefits from the living arrangements.
Boosters Provided Benefits
In addition, two boosters provided more than $8,000 for recruiting inducements and extra benefits, including cash, gift cards and funding of unofficial visits, the NCAA said.
South Carolina announced in December that it had responded to the NCAA’s notice of allegations regarding the impermissible benefits and recruiting. The school acknowledged violations had occurred in its football team in 2009 and 2010, and presented a number of self-imposed penalties endorsed by the NCAA’s infractions committee.
“The university regrets the past actions and decisions by individuals that resulted in violations of NCAA legislation,” Athletic Director Eric Hyman said in a statement on the school’s website. “We are pleased, however, that the Committee on Infractions found the corrective actions we have taken and the penalties we have self-imposed reflect the university’s commitment to full compliance with NCAA rules.”
Other penalties imposed by the Committee on Infractions include the indefinite disassociation of both the involved boosters and the local hotel, and a limit on official visits for men’s and women’s track and field recruits, according to the statement.

Jan 19, 2014, 10:01 AM

... the fact that winning 5 straight and promoting a "state championship" during a bowl trophy presentation, etc., doesn't dissuade the NATION from thinking Clemson is the better program is "Eating Spurrier Up" ...
If the national media would give credit to this "state championship" it would probably salve Spurrier's ego a bit. But, it goes practically unrecognized outside the Palmetto State.
And it's killing him.

I really think it is the opposite. Think about how he said and did things to Fulmer at Tn and poor Ray Goff at UGA
He has been the biggest thorn in UGAs side for decades. He beat them 4 in a row yet rarely says anything other than the suspended player thing at the start of the year which is a repeat year after year
I think he likes Mark Richt so he lays off him
I think the rant by Dabo got to him a bit more than most believe. He is treating DAbo like RAy Goff and most felt he went overboard to make Ray Goff look silly.

There is now and always will be a big difference between Clemson and USuC. During the last 3 seasons (USuC best ever) they have compiled 0 division titles, 0 conference titles, 0 BCS bowls and 0 national titles. They do have a 5 game winning streak against us and some awesome 5th place rings. They claim to be the big brother now and that is far from the truth (need to win the next 23 in a row to tie the series Stevie boy). Now our Tigers during this same time have a division title, an ACC championship and a big time BCS bowl win against the Ohio State. Steve you have to be invited to the big bowls in order to win one lol, but congrats on the Capital One win. Clemson is now and always will be the Big Brother in the state and it kills him. I have no doubt the tide will turn head to head with USuC and when it does the ole ball sack will have nothing to hang his visor on. GO TIGERS!!!!!!!

Play a cupcake, get your #4 ranking. Just kind of coast in up to that top 5 ranking by default due to attrition ahead of you.

Haha. If Wisconsin was a cupcake, what in the world did you play all year long. They hadn't lost by double digits in three years. You beat an Ohio State team that played an even softer schedule than you as if that's even possible. You played cupcakes ALL YEAR LONG. You backed your way into a BCS bowl because of an automatic bid and a two team per conference limit.
You can't honestly sit here and swear that if usc played your schedule the last three years, the gamecocks would not have done just as good if not better.
This year usc beat more top ten, top 5, bcs bowl teams, and bcs bowl winners, and bowl winners than old Dabo has in his entire career. You play nothing but cupcakes, and Wisconsin was better than everyone on your schedule outside of us, fsu, and possibly ohio state. I actually think that would have been a good match up.
Get real.

if the general national perception is that clem5on has the better program, why did both the sportswriters and the coaches vote SC higher in the final polls than they did clem5on?
It is obvious, and the polls prove, EVERYONE knows SC is the dominant program in the state. And the entire college football world knows it.
SOS busts your chops because he can. And he owns you. period.

And the teams ahead of you lost. Congratulations. You got highly ranked the same way Ohio State did. You didn't play anyone. You avoided LSU, Auburn, Alabama, and you barely scraped by a Missouri team (your best win) that was without its starting quarterback.
What a season, game hens. You sure were impressive.
Haha, I keed, I keed.

that score has nothing to do with our rivalry. I want Clemson to beat them. I only talk smack about a team that Clemson beats. I used to trash SCAR fans who would look for all sorts of unrelated crap to tease us with, and I refuse to behave the same exact way as they did.

Just no respect for the other program... but some years that program has been lucky enough to have their opponent suffer major injuries leading up to the game, and just fields more talent and get all of the lucky bounces.
Major underlying theme though = #NoRespect #SleptOnThem #WeAreTheirNationalChampionship

Back2back2back2back.... the "cream of the crop" in the sec (in your opinion) LSU and USC jr struggled mightily to beat IOWA and Wisconsin.
Just another huge win for Clemson on the national stage to solidify ourselves as national contenders. Love it.
A top five finish in the worst SEC east division of the modern era is nothing to hang your hat on. You played the 2 worst teams from the west, too.
