Question for the house cooters


Aug 12, 2014, 4:50 PM

In the Gamehens vs Tennessee game the gamecocks had the following drives:

Missed FG
Fumble at the Tenn 10
Interception at the Tenn 5

Tenn won by 2 points....

Would SC have won had they not turned it over on one of those drives or made that FG?

They had plenty of opportunities outside of the ones you mentioned. On UT's last drive, they gave up one big play that lost it for them. Bottom line is, Carolina didn't play well on the road in the SEC and usually the result isn't a good one. Anyways, as the old saying goes,"excuses typically come from the loser's lockeroom."

Re: Question for the house cooters


Aug 12, 2014, 6:51 PM

Turnovers are part of the game and players are coached how to strip the ball. A LOT of big games have been decided from turnovers. Were we the better team than Tennessee? Yes, but not that day. That day they came to play and we just showed up. They made the big play at the end and won the turnover battle. I do put a lot of the blame on Spurrier for that one though with his foolish timeouts and play calling in the 4th qtr. That game still burns a hole in my @$$.

It was pretty clear we were a better team than you, just not the day we played.

Our "high school offense" moved the ball very well against your brutal SEC caliber defense.

By that logic, two teams play one loses, neither are ranked at seasons end. Who is the better team? (Since you say the better team is ranked higher at seasons end) lol

IMO, they were the best team at the end of the year. I don't know when I've seen a team improve game over game all year like they did. At the end of the bowls, they were one of the best complete teams I've ever seen.

I thought they were too, especially after seeing Auburn squeak by a depleted UGA team and then Alabama get handled by Oklahoma. Finally this year we'll get to see a true champion crowned.

What's even more ridiculous is Alabama lost to the #11 team and only dropped to #7. Stanford loses to the 4th ranked team and drops out of the top 10.

Personally as a life long Clemson man and fan, I don't think I could brag had that been Clemson that jumped those teams instead of Coot U.

I'll especially never figure out how #5 loses to #4 and drops that far. They lost to #4 but to hear Coots, you'd think sc beat em

Re: Question for the house cooters


Aug 12, 2014, 7:37 PM

The rankings are asinine. Could not agree more. They matter very little outside of who gets in playoff. I hate that we lost to Tennessee and based on the whole season I think we were better than them. Doesn't matter, though. All that matters is the score on the day you play. I also think we were better than Clemson last year. However, I can't blame any Tiger who feels differently and think Clemson fans can make a good argument that they were better last year. Clemson definitely outplayed us in areas of the game. However, the score is the objective.

Final rankings are all we have to go buy. Your opinion, my opinion, Mich States opinion are all objective under the influence of fan hood. So we have to leave it to a group across the country to come up with the rankings, like it or not.

Stats can be deceiving. A team can move the ball between the 20's but unless they can get points and more importantly 7 points all those yards are meaningless. Did Clemson lose due to turnovers, sure but you also have to give credit to USC for forcing those turnovers.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Question for the house cooters


Aug 12, 2014, 7:56 PM

And to answer those who say that I was making excuses you couldn't be farther off. Every team out there can point to plays that led to a loss but the bottom line is that they lost. I accept that loss and concede that they were the better team that day. I also stated that they came to play and we just showed up. If Clemson had finished the season ranked higher than us than yes I would agree that you were the better team, lord knows I have had more than my fair share of those years. But, the fact still stands that for the past 5 years USC has beat you both on the field and in final rankings so that makes us the better team in the nations perspective.

You can argue rankings until you are blue in the face but it won't change anything. Final rankings are made up from experts from across the country with no bias, your theories are based on nothing but bias. You only see one game out of a season where the final rankings are made from the COMPLETE season. USC beat two BCS champions finishing in the top 10, Missouri who finished #5 and #24 Vandy, Clemson beat one top 25 team in Ohio St (which was a great win by the way). We were the better team no matter what your personal opinion is.

South Carolina was the better team..
Had Mike not fumbled the ball 2 on the Missouri side of the field.. It wouldn't have been close...
Shaw didn't play till the 4th quarter so there's that too...The Tennessee game was just bad on all accounts..
So we deserved to lose that one

Re: Question for the house cooters

OK one more time......

Tennessee was the better team that day they won the game and deserve all the credit for doing so. USC was the better team when we played Clemson, we won and deserve all the credit as well. Tennessee finished with a losing record and unranked, we finished #4 with a 11-2 record with wins over 3 top ten teams two of which won BCS games and one top 25 team. That means we were the better team that year. Clemson finished the season #8 with ONE top 25 win which happened to be in the Orange Bowl. We beat you in both head to head match up and final rankings which means only one thing, we were the better team. Rankings come from experts across the country not fans on message boards.

Enjoy your BCS trophy, you won the game and deserve it. But that trophy does not make you the better team, it just means you got to play in a BCS game and made the best of it. Congratulations (and I actually do mean that it was not meant to be sarcastic).

Personally I think our rivalry is much better now that both teams are national contenders. It makes our games much more than just a state rivalry and now with the new playoff system it could be the difference in who makes it in.

How can you say Clemson was the better team? Because the NCAA rules put you and Ohio St in a BCS game? We both finished 11-2 but we beat you and had a tougher strength of schedule. You base your logic without one single fact.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Question for the house cooters


Aug 13, 2014, 10:02 AM

Because we gave you the ball 4 times and you could still only tie us going into 4th quarter. We then gave it to you 2 more times.

And even giving you the ball 6 times, we put up more yards than you did. We outplayed you in every facet of that game except turnovers and the score.

We were better period. Why can't you admit you beat a superior team?

They weren't the same team after all the injuries so you can't base it off final rankings.

That was pre-season rankings. Those are pretty much meaningless. Georgia's defense was why they were so bad last year although the injuries did play a big part. There defense gave up an average of 30 points a game.

It's pretty clear the only meaningful rankings and "facts" are those that substantiate one of his claims or can paint Clemson in a negative light.

The simple fact that he's here spouting this nonsense should tell you about the inferiority complex.

think either team had a better season last year. I just find it hilarious how many Gamecock fans come here everyday claiming they just want to have a well-informed discussion of football when in reality we all know you just want to rub 5 in a row in our faces. Just call it what it is. I will give you credit for one thing, at least you fly your colors outright. Bottom line though is that if Clemson had won the last 5 games in the series, you wouldn't be here. Period.

I guess y'all are just following the example of your coach though. Clemson Clemson Clemson Clemson Clemson. Is that what it's like in your head?

The fact that we outgained you period after turning the ball over 6 times to your 0 is pathetic in and of itself.

Aug 13, 2014, 12:46 PM

It's mostly a sign that you had a much longer field to go to score.

Capitalizing on your turnovers have us a short field and limited the amount of yards we gained.

That's a good problem to have.

UGA outgained you by more than double what you outgained us by. I'm guessing UGA lost to an inferior Clemson?

CUAt, I think you lost the argument


Aug 13, 2014, 2:51 PM

when you started stating untruths as facts.

You repeatedly said the fourth quarter started as a tie and Clemson had 4 turnovers, but that is completely incorrect. The following is fact, and can not be disputed:

With 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter, Clemson had 2 turnovers and SC had one "turnover on downs" at Clemson's 15 yard line. South Carolina was winning by a touchdown, and Clemson had the ball. Those are indisputable facts.

You guys turned it over 4 times in the last 8 minutes (2 in garbage time). It isn't like you guys had been turning the ball over all game. It was a very good game up util that point and at the very end you guys shot yourselves in the foot. It is a complete stretch to infer that Clemson would have won the game without those turnovers, but it is certainly fair to say that you guys took yourself out of position to win because of turnovers. Bottom line is that you were down by 7 with 8 minutes left, had the ball and literally fumbled the game away.
