Gamecock fans views 5 years ago

I have no idea how I came across this but check it out. It really shows how much things have changed in nearly 5 years. In this thread they arrogantly say how they've surpassed Clemson as a program and that the gap is only going to get wider.

There are a few real classic replies in there where almost everything said turned out to be completely turned on its head.

I liked this one:
I wonder if TheRoosterCrows is still crowing, or just choking on his own vomit.
"Let's see....we gave em da thumb this year, next year we'll give them da finger, and in 5 years when we give em da other thumb... that will be two hands worth and we can all clap about it!
And clemson fans will still be living in denial, talk'n bout history and da title that they are so proud about cheat'n to get.
You can't FIX stupyyyyyyyyyd."

Yep, we were in Uof5uck’s rear view mirror and they were pulling away.
Now we are cycling out.

It’s funny between reading stuff like this and other things

about how we were supposed to be firmly planted in their rear view mirror. It was obvious by year #5 that we had passed them as a program. Even Spurrier himself called Swinney and told him he didn’t know how he won that last game. Anyone watching that game could plainly see that Clemson had the better athletes we just crapped in the bed mainly due to Chad Morris’ play calling and just some uncharacteristic turnovers. That year’s SC team may be the biggest joke to have ever finished in the top five and the next two seasons proved that.

Ditto this ‘16. I have always thought there wete two of ‘the five’ we could (‘should’) have won, if not for turnovers, big plays on their part - Connor Shaw was a gamer!
The thought just occurred to me (for two of their five game streak):
“At the end of the day, they were not really that much better than us, if at all”
Sure glad Tajh never said that.... ??
GO TIGERS!!!

You're giving Clemson way too much credit. They are not Penn State, Michigan, and Nebraska- not close. They were always an average program until they started cheating in late 70s leading to a tainted championship. And we have absolutely passed them by as a PROGRAM at this point. We are in a superior conference, we have a superior coach, we now have way more money ( and that discrepancy will continue to get even wider with SEC TV deal) and we have beaten the crap out of them for 5 years in games that have never even been close. Arguing that their program is better at this point flies in the face of reality.

And their program only excelled when they began to use steroids, the Whitney and Tank Black to help!

Someone should post that on one of their fan sites, I wonder what their reactions would be?

Classic. They forget how much they ran their mouth. Now that we've had all of this success that they could never imagine having for themselves....they yell foul when we run our mouths a little. Classic.

Thanks for that reminder. It is fantastic of how coots crumbled (castles built on sand). Investments are more than just paychecks. USC focused on us, we focused on the future.

Wow that article is hilarious. So smug. My favorite

[ in reply to not just fans, their media was delusional also ] |

part is this:
“Let's assume he coaches the Gamecocks for another five years. How much will his successor earn annually? $5 million? $6 million? Higher? Bet on the latter. Which means, of course, plenty of big name coaches will eagerly apply for the job when it finally comes open years down the road.”
Too funny. They haven’t beaten Clemson since this article was written, Spurrier lasted another season and a half, going 7-6 and 2-4, and the hiring process was a fiasco involving Rich Rod, Smart, Elliot, Herman, Riley...finally landing on a guy that couldn’t succeed at Florida.
