SEC This and SEC That and blah, blah, blah

Man these guys down here in Columbia sure are proud of their conference affiliation. They talk for hours on end about the supposed superiority of their conference but if you look at the situation objectively, they have two elite (Alabama and LSU) programs, a few solid ones and a few sorry ones. Yes I know that Florida and Auburn have won championships recently but where are those programs now? Neither is elite and it's even arguable that neither is even good. The truth is aside from LSU and Alabama, the SEC is pretty ordinary.

What they don't realize is they sound like losers.

The SEC's reputation was built despite the coots. They have been a perennial doormat with the exception of the past few years.

ESPN and networks started all the conference (SEC) buzz

to strengthen their recruiting, "create" the idea of more high profile games, which pushed them into being more successful (and pushed a few to be dirtier to achieve). It generates more revenue, gets people interested in a bigger brand, and watching games they normally wouldn't be.
Although, I'm still trying to figure how Ok. State didin't have as much of a shot to be in the National Championship game as 2 "SEC" teams, Ooooooooooooooo... but whatever.

Okie dokey! Have it your way, but for now, I'll settle for that ole 'ordinary' SEC. Btw, the last time the Gamecocks played the Crimson Tide, they got their butts cut - couldn't wait to get on the bus - same for old Saban, who was white-faced and panting for air. As for LSU, well . . . we haven't played 'em yet.

See what I mean? You see any fans of the programs that count in that conference (Alabama, LSU) running to defend the conference? Nah. Just a hanger on from a team that has NEVER won anything of significance in college football.

Well, look at the major schools in Alabama...Alabama and Auburn. Both in same conference as the case with Miss and Miss State and Louisiana. Arkansas has one major school as well and it is in the SEC. I bet that the SEC talk is getting heated up in Texas with the Big 12 presence and, of course, A&M. Not sure how the GaTech/UGA conversation goes but I imagine there are some conference bashings occurring.

Funny thing is that no SEC schools gives them any respect

If you go to their boards LSU, Bama, Auburn, UF, Ark, UGA, and even Tenn fans have NO respect for the coots and whenever the coots go to their board they get put in their place quick fast and in a hurry. It's hilarious that they spout all this SEC SEC crap yet they aren't even accepted by their own conference.

If you lined the SEC up with any conference from top to bottom and played the games the SEC would come out on top by a good majority. So what if its only 2 elite teams? Is the whole conference supposed to be top 15? It is still top to bottom the strongest by a wide margin.

First of all that can't be proven so why pose this BS scenario. Second I give much respect to the teams who are actually winning conference and national championships. They deserve everything they get. But to the fans of those loudmouth, bad breath programs who never win anything save for an occasional rivalry game, with all due respect they should just shut the h3ll up!

Sour grapes-blah man. Let SC have their day thru affiliation
Sep 14, 2012, 10:23 PM
|

As a die-hard Clemson man since arriving as a freshman 33 yrs ago, I can clearly see the SEC is #1 and has been for 7-8 yrs.
That only changes when Clemson or FSU breaks through and wins it on the field. VaT will not do it. MIA will not do it. In the meantime, SC sure as hell won't do it.
But the anti-SEC sentiment is only sour grapes and makes us look ignorant. Fla & Aub have won Natl Championships recently and we have not won in over 3 decades. Our teams have been soft and weak since Ford left; we are now improving thaks to Dabo's recruiting and Chad Morris coaching. Ball is in our court. Can we beat Fla State? Can we keep Spurrier from beating us 4 yrs straight? Can we avoid losing to teams with weaker personnel (i.e. GaT NCSU, BC, MD, UNC)?
If the answer is yes, then SC is talking blah, blah, blah, Until then, SC can state accurately they have owned us for 3 years. When we beat SC this year, we can say sure the SEC is a stronger football conference, and Clemson is better than SC.

The SEC isn't number 1; Alabama is number 1. The SEC didn't win the national championship last year - Alabama did. The SEC is a political entity - a top-heavy football conference with a bunch of average to below-average times. Yeah you "died hard" alright.
That only changes when Clemson or FSU breaks through and wins it on the field. VaT will not do it. MIA will not do it. In the meantime, SC sure as #### won't do it.
This isn't about Clemson or FSU so let's stay on point.
But the anti-SEC sentiment is only sour grapes and makes us look ignorant.
No what's ignorant is for fans to try to lay claim to another school's accomplishments through conference affiliation. What's ignorant is allowing biased and corrupt television networks, journalists and "commentators" to shape public opinion on this issue then blindly accepting and regurgitating their bogus arguments. That's ignorant.
Fla & Aub have won Natl Championships recently and we have not won in over 3 decades.
True but their fans aren't the loudest ones claiming conference superiority; it's the ones who have NEVER won anything that are the most obnoxious. I'm not trying to diminish anything that Alabama, Auburn, Florida and LSU have accomplished lately. Again they deserve "the shine" that they're getting because they earned it on the field. But tell me again? How does that rub off on the Kentuckys, Vanderbilts and South Carolinas of the world? They get to put their names on the championship trophies too?
Our teams have been soft and weak since Ford left; we are now improving thaks to Dabo's recruiting and Chad Morris coaching. Ball is in our court. Can we beat Fla State? Can we keep Spurrier from beating us 4 yrs straight? Can we avoid losing to teams with weaker personnel (i.e. GaT NCSU, BC, MD, UNC)?
Once again, this ain't about Clemson. It's about BS conference superiority argument and one particular fan-base in particular who have NEVER won anything of significance. You have some good points; they just don't belong on this thread. You might consider starting yet another Clemson vs South Carolina thread.
If the answer is yes, then SC is talking blah, blah, blah, Until then, SC can state accurately they have owned us for 3 years. When we beat SC this year, we can say sure the SEC is a stronger football conference, and Clemson is better than SC.
South Carolina can win the next 25 games straight and they will only have tied things up with us. They have had the better team the last few years and kudos to them on that but I doubt that any of us will be alive long enough to even see them even things up with us so how are they better? South Carolina will NEVER be better than Clemson. Real Clemson fans know this and despite their recent success against us, they know this too.
