He’s a joke that couldn’t make it in the NFL. He is always taking shot at clemson and the ACC. Am ain’t $hit they haven’t won crap and uga hasn’t won a title since 1980, whole bunch of #### winning there alright. Greg is a joke and the track record shows it, always discounting clemson but we just keep winning. Does it matter we like to have fun while winning, nope but sec homers like him can’t stand that Clemson Is now a elite program and better than every school in the SEC besides bama when it comes to winning. We will see week 2 who’s about those X’s and O’s, when it comes to clemson and A&M and see what ol Greg says then. Go Tigers!!

To be fair to McElroy...


Jul 31, 2018, 9:18 AM

... he seems to be pretty reasonable on most things and hardly one to take cheap shots, certainly not at Clemson, with whom he has been very complimentary in the past. The "putt putt" remark was borderline chippy, but I can understand the gist of what he was saying, which is, in HIS OPINION, some schools are more serious about the business of football than others. I don't think he was saying you can't win and have fun at the same time.

Aug 1, 2018, 1:18 PM [ in reply to To be fair to McElroy... ]

I think I get the benefit of the doubt you're trying to give him, and I sort of agree, but even so, if he was indeed saying - as you put it- that "some schools are more serious about the business of football than others," then the only way to interpret his remark is that Clemson is one of the schools that *isn't* as serious as those with head coaches with a more stern personalities and more rigid cultures. Now, I'm not taking shot at Greg for merely having a different opinion, if that' what he thinks, (like you said, he's a reasonable guy), but he's wrong simply b/c he's setting up a false dichotomy. The fact that Clemson has a more fun culture does not necessarily mean it's at the expense of being serious. He seems to think that it's necessarily a trade-off between fun and discipline. But discipline is not synonymous with rigidity. In fact, one of Dabo's really strong suits seems to be infusing fun without sacrificing seriousness and discipline. Greg might be assuming that the reason Clemson has so much fun is that they are a bit less disciplined, when maybe they aren't but are simply less rigid.

Haha... thanks for the Bulletin Board post


Jul 31, 2018, 9:31 AM

All this amounts to is motivation for our team... and I'm fine with that.

National Championships in the Last 10 Years:
SEC Other Than Alabama: 2 (Auburn, Florida - not Georgia, TAMU)
ACC: 2 (Clemson, FSU)

If you take Bama out of the SEC, it looks almost exactly like the ACC in terms of winning on almost every metric.

National Championships by Current ACC Teams since the last time Georgia or TAMU won one: 11
Clemson: 2
FSU: 3
Miami: 5
Georgia Tech: 1

National Championships by SEC Teams other than Alabama since last time GA or TAMU won: 7
Florida: 3
Auburn: 1
LSU: 2
Tennessee: 1

Alabama has 6, so its 13 to 11 if you could Alabama. Exclude Alabama and Miami and its 7 for SEC, 6 for ACC.

The SEC is 100% riding Alabama's dynasty. The only thing they've accomplished that is noteworthy outside of that is the 2007-2010 run where 4 different SEC teams won the Championship. You can extend it to 2006-2012 for the whole SEC run. That period the SEC was pretty dominant even outside of Alabama. There is no other period outside of those 7 years where the SEC has been anywhere near as dominant.

How is this news at all? At best it is some idiot's opinion


Jul 31, 2018, 10:05 AM

and it isn't even an educated one since he obviously didn't do his homework before making this idiotic statement. I really wish Fox were handling the ACC Channel because I hate ESPN and their obvious lack of journalistic ethics. Also I would like to see FOX make an honest run at putting ESPN under as Disney lately seems to be imploding at anything it gets it's hands on. Look what they have done to Star Wars as they are trying to win back that following after bombing out on the Hans Solo movie. Then Kathleen Kennedy has screwed up Lucas Arts to the point he regrets ever bringing her in and handing her the reigns.

But I digress. The point is ESPN should NOT show the favoritism it is and expect to be rewarded for it by letting them have a shot at the ACC Network but here we are for whatever reason. They are certainly dragging their feet at it but hopefully, however doubtful, this means it will be done well.

The first rule of journalism is to be fair to all sides and show no favoritism. Ethics seems to be a course the clowns they hire blew off like some UNC athletes did their entire course loads.

His comments are in the toilet forever more to me as he failed the acid test: reasoned facts, not opinionated drivel.

Texas A&M has won 10+ games twice in 20 years. We have done it 7 years in a row. Sounds like a paid ad more than facts to me.

If you want a job playing football and getting paid lots of cash while in college, come play in the SEC where we treat it as a pro league.

Found audio of what McElroy said and it was in reaction to a comment that a HS player/college recruit said after visiting Florida St (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_-dTWH7B6k) during a segment titled "Old School Programs Losing Their Appeal". So in many ways, Greg McElroy was guilty of being reactionary and taking the comments of a college recruit a bit personal because he (McElroy) went to Alabama, considered one of the old school/traditional programs of college football.

Be that as it may, this was SEC elite-ism on the part of Greg McElroy, a case of a person who thinks that because HE played and was successful in not only the SED, but Alabama, that the SEC is the best and ONLY way to go if you want to "win". I can understand why folks feel that what McElroy was a bit of a not so subtle shot at Clemson because tbh, it was. Given how how both Clemson and Ohio St. defeated Alabama as well as Florida St. defeating Auburn in the BCS playoffs all within the last five years, Greg McElroy's viewpoint is flatly WRONG. Bottom is while the SEC is still the SEC there's more than one way to get the job done.

Keep in mind that Dabo has always said that "the fun is in the winning" and that's what Clemson has been doing the last five years. With comments like this, you don't make a big deal about publicly. If I'm a Clemson player or coach, you keep in your mental rolodex and use it as fuel for the season. And if you get the opportunity to reach the BCS Playoff and play an SEC school, use it as motivation to kick butt. McElroy is again wrong and guilty of being an Alabama/SEC homer, it is what it is.

"As it turns out, having a winning record vs. the final Top 25 is quite the accomplishment. I found that only 3 non-SEC programs (Clemson, Ohio State and Oklahoma) could claim that during the Playoff era.
"I dug up the records vs. the final Top 25 for a bunch of other non-SEC programs (during the Playoff era):

Ohio State — 14-4 (.778)
Clemson — 14-6 (.700)
Oklahoma — 10-7 (.589)


"If you’re beating Top-25 teams more times than not, you’re an elite program. Period. The fact that Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State have done that at least 70 percent of the time is why they represent 9 of the 16 total Playoff berths.

As it turned out, Alabama and Georgia were the only SEC teams who had winning records vs. the Top 25 during the Playoff era. Add in Ole Miss and those were the only 3 SEC teams who even won more than 1/3 of their games vs. teams that finished in the Top 25.

Here’s the team-by-team breakdown:

Alabama — 18-5 (.783)
Georgia — 9-6 (.600)
Ole Miss — 8-11 (.421)
Auburn — 7-14 (.333)
LSU — 6-12 (.333)
Arkansas — 5-15 (.250)
Florida — 4-12 (.250)
Tennessee — 4-12 (.250)
South Carolina — 4-12 (.250)
Mississippi State — 3-12 (.200)
Texas A&M — 2-14 (.125)
Kentucky — 1-12 (.078)
Mizzou — 0-10 (.000)
Vanderbilt — 0-11 (.000)

Mis-information and dou***bag comments may be a perfect in to the CNN Network.
He failed to mention that it's much easier (GPA wise) to get into the SEC than ACC...I'm sure that's not a problem/consideration for SEC commits!

This is why ESPN sux! And their so called (####)yst at espn have lost so many viewers.

And some of those guys calling games almost makes watching a game unbearable.

Espn has just eat up the chicken poop coming out of cootsville because they won 9 games. Look at who they beat last year. No body! And besides Bama built by Bear Bryant and UGA who else is more the an ACC team in the SEC.

2 years ago espn said the SEC was no longer a superior conference after so many bowl loses. No they king of college football!

Espn analyst: ???? calling a game!

Looks like Clemson is stepping on some SEC toes in recruiting, so he is trying to steer recruits back to SEC. Well, some athletes and parents have a choice between having a coach who could care less about their development as a man, discipline, education, and a family atmosphere and one who does care about these things like Dabo and the entire coaching staff at Clemson. So athletes don't want to play for a school where you hear loud cowbells, a chicken crowing, Rocky Top, their girl friends and mothers yelling Go #####, an elephant mascot, a schoo; with multiple mascots (War Eagle, Tigers, and toilet paper hanging from a tree as a sign of success). Come on guys give me some more stupid traditions of the "Great SEC." We have finally made it to the top of the mountain when the SEC is threatened by our recruiting success.

wet behind the ears. He'll grow up someday and understand how to be a sports talk host. This is evident by him saying you win championships in the sec when Alabama is the only one to do so lately. In reality there is the sec then there is Alabama by themselves. Somebody give him a warm glass of milk and send him to bed.

I think I get what he was trying to say, he just didn't say it very well. He's been over-the-top complimentary of Clemson in the past, so I highly doubt he's actually suggesting those SEC schools (outside of Alabama) are the better school to go to if you want success.

It's been really sweet to me the times I've watched you and Finebaum sit in silence as Clemson kicked that Bama butt.

Greg is a moron!! Clemson is 46-2 at home since 2011, in the last seven years the only team with a better record is Alabama. Greg has his panties in a wad because he equates winning to be serious, that you’re not allowed to have fun doing it. Coach swinney has shown the world that, of course it’s about winning, but it’s just as important as to how you got there. His comments were an obvious shot at Coach Swinney and it’s sad. What a world we live in. A college coach has integrity and ethics and morals and cares about his players. He realizes it’s a game and that parents have entrusted him with their sons, not to make them NFL stars but to make them men. Now that Urban is being found out it’s only a matter of time before Saban gets caught too.
