Not sure if beating LSU is a good measure of what it means to be an SEC team since SEC teams are 5-21 against LSU over the last three seasons.

Does that me we should recruit like one and get rid of or our academic advisory committee and take recruits regardless of their academic background like the SEC. Or discipline like the SEC,i.e. our neighbors instate?

Only by kicking the best of the SEC in the teeth can our Clemson Tigers stake any claim to being SEC quality. LSU is every bit as physical as Alabama. Clemson's biggest win over highest ranked opponent was Sagarin #63 Ga Tech (Va Tech #66 NCSU #67).
An LSU win would be a major achievement for this team and would no doubt be an upset ... but based on LSU's lack of Offensive consistency and with some good breaks ... who knows?
Whether we are ever offered SEC membership - that is a different more speculative question as you eloquently stated. Go Tigers!

I have had several requests to upload blogs to podcasts
Dec 26, 2012, 3:56 PM

Over time, this seems to be a request that keeps coming back to me.
Here is my first attempt at it. Still not sure how it will all fit and/or whether people want to hear what is written.
But, check it out and give me some feedback.

You can email any feedback, good or bad, to scottrhymer.tps@gmail.com
Go Tigers!

I thought when we beat Auburn in 2011, and took them to OT

the year they won the national title, and all those years we dominated Usuc, and beat Top 5 UGA teams that we were already playing that way.
Just MHO.

Agreed. Until we consistently go undefeated in the ACC, why worry

about the conference?
We can't lose the "big game" in the ACC race and then pi$$ and moan about being in a "weak" conference.
This year, we had every opportunity to play like we belonged in the SEC. And failed. We couldn't win the ACC, never mind competing in the SEC.
But, fortunately "Next Year" definitely starts New Years Eve in Atlanta.
Go CLEMSON TIGERS!

That is the bottom half of the conference...
Shall I name the worst 8 members of the ACC and see how they stack up?

He said play like an SEC team, he didn't say play like

an SEC team that also happens to be a nationally ranked team. That is the problem, people say the SEC, but the SEC isn't just the top teams in the SEC. The SEC is also Auburn, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Miss. State, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Missouri.
He said SEC team, not the top 6 teams in the SEC.
