Crotch Bat posted:There's no reason whatsoever that Baylor should field a football program for a decade and there's no reason Art Briles and his assistants should ever be allowed to coach the sport at any level. Yeah, I don't think it's an overreaction to say Baylor shouldn't be allowed to have football for a while. I'm sure it won't happen, though.

vikingstrike posted:It kills me to think how the outcome of that would be if they literally ran the ball maybe 3 more times in the fourth. The Super Bowl reminded me a lot of the national championship game in that regard. If Bama had run the ball a few more times and avoided repeatedly going three-and-out in a nanosecond on some of their late drives, there's probably not enough time left on the clock for Clemson. As it was, Bama and Atlanta kept their defenses out on the field far too long, and despite excellent first-half performances, they couldn't help but wilt at some point.

Baseball is a really big deal for the Cocks and for many of the other schools in South Carolina as well. Even the smaller colleges tend to have pretty good and well-supported programs. As for other random sports, women's basketball has recently become a draw at SC -- I think we've led the nation in attendance for a couple seasons now. The equestrian team used to be awesome, but has fallen off a cliff for some reason.

SC quarterback/outfielder Brandon McIlwain is transferring. Not surprising at all, given how Jake Bentley outclassed him and is the clear future at the position, but it's still a shame. He's a USC legacy and I was really hoping he could at least hack it on the baseball team, which was probably his best bet to begin with. But he couldn't even crack the lineup there, so here we are, unfortunately.

LeeMajors posted:Thats a shame. Any word on where he's headed? Nah, not yet; he just announced it tonight. I was kind of expecting him to quit the football team after his mom had a social media meltdown about Jake Bentley starting, but it's a bummer he's leaving Columbia altogether. Not sure if he'll keep trying to play football or if he'll just focus on baseball from now on.

Relevant to the "Never play this team" discussion, SC backed out of a scheduled road game against ECU in 2019. Don't even care if it makes us look shook, I'm loving sick of playing these guys.

Frinkahedron posted:Jealous, it's gonna be a goddamn century before VT stops playing ECU. I think we still have two more games left on our original contract with them, so we'll see if those go off as planned. Probably, since they're both in Columbia. It looks like we dumped the 2019 date because we'd only have six home games if we'd kept it (we have another neutral site game against UNC that year).

Warbird posted:And they were correct. I'm in Charlotte and the only actual southern things in this area are my nards. Now you go about 30 minutes in any given direction that isn't following I-77 and then you're in the South proper. Asheville and The Triangle have similar rules; the former being about 10 instead of 30. Yeah, Charlotte is a transplant town and also very fond of bulldozing any history/personality it has in favor of more apartment towers for banker bros. The most Southern thing about it is probably Bojangles or all the NASCAR stuff. For the most part, it's Generic American City, which is why I assume film crews loved setting up here. I still love it, though. Joey Freshwater posted:So you're the one other person that knows Orangeburg exists. My grandfather has lived there for as long as I remember (He's 100 now) and I hate going to that town. Super poor, rural, racist...Orangeburg is pretty much the worst of what SC has to offer. I had a great experience with the internship itself, but was very happy to drive home every day.

There is nothing to stop them from going down the list asking school by school who offered money to play. We won't be implicated, then. We either literally don't have bag men or they're the cheapest motherfuckers alive.

Crotch Bat posted:You guys had like 5 straight top 20 classes under Spurdog, something was going on down there. Spurrier's name and persona really helped at first, and then the state of SC had some excellent talent for a couple years. But that well ran dry and then Spurrier stopped caring (and I guess kids stopped caring about him, too). We've been recruiting at a consistently decent level for a while now, sure, but we've never had a mind-blowing, Ole Miss kind of class. 2007 is the biggest one we've ever had and I think it was just barely a top-10 class nationally -- which is still very good, especially for us, but has not happened before or since.

FizFashizzle posted:The well didn't run dry. Dabo obviously didn't help matters, but Clemson gets a lot of talent from out of state -- they haven't been as hyper-local as us, at least not for some time. Most of their biggest stars (Boyd, Watkins, Watson, Spiller, etc.) have been dudes from Florida or Virginia or Georgia. SC in general has been in a bit of a "down" period for high school football talent, though obviously even if there are only a handful of elite guys, Clemson can get them all now.

Chad Morris is the architect of Clemson's offensive success, so it makes sense that people are still high on him even though he hasn't done much at SMU yet. I believe he was the lead recruiter for Deshaun Watson as well, so he should get a lot of credit for that natty despite no longer being there.

Late to 2007 chat, but I couldn't really enjoy the craziness of that season as much as others because of how horrifically we fell apart at the seams. It started with a stunning (yet on brand) chokejob to Vandy and ended with a heartbreaking home loss to Clemson. Six loving losses in a row. The only high points were beating UGA -- which is always awesome, but was even better for how much it hosed them over that year -- and beating a surprisingly good Kentucky team that at one point had a Heisman contender in Andre Woodson. Everything else was garbage.

I've known two couples who just did the courthouse thing on their own time and then later threw a big rear end party at their house as the "reception." Frankly, it owned. No absurd wedding costs or stressful planning for them, no ceremony for the guests to sit through or formal clothing required, just the fun parts.

I've never given enough of a gently caress about the Big 12 and especially Big Ten to pick rooting interests there, but I pull for UNC (they're my No. 2 as my childhood/hometown team) and I've always had a soft spot for Arizona State for some reason. Utah used to be my mid-major of choice, back when they were still in the Mountain West, so I've been watching their adjustment to the Pac-12 with interest. I also root for Army because my dad went to West Point and I hate watching successful teams, apparently.

I hate all other SEC teams (except for a few from the West I'm just sort of apathetic about, since we never play them), but I don't mind the extra cash and extra credit we get for being in this league. It's possible to acknowledge that conference perception can do some good for your program without swinging into being a full-on solidarity homer. It's a fine line to toe, too, because if certain teams are netting your conference accolades and exposure but also cockblocking you from ever winning said conference, obviously those benefits start to disappear.

We're almost definitely losing to N.C. State, but N.C. State is also really good at being supremely disappointing, so this is anyone's game to lose really.
