answer in this old LSU forum. The coots can't have a conversation with anyone without talking about us. Jealousy and envy are terrible things!

carried away taking it to other boards. Just wondering what a USuC/LSU game had to do with Clemson and IPTAY? I mean, you don't see us going to the Miami boards talking about coots the Gamecock Club. The answer is that you can't stop thinking about us. You wish you were as good as us. And you know you are the laughing stock of every team you play because you are dominated by your rival. So you have to start trying to put Clemson down to cover your own mediocrity. Thing is, it just makes y'all look bad, not us!

then they just go to other boards and trash their rival. It's another fine Gamecock tradition.
It’s still fake, but at least it’s cheap.

I suggest that you should have visited every SEC message board this past basketball regular season when one Clemson poster was making quite a few posts about South Carolina.

"I mean you don't see us going to the Miami boards talking about coots the Gamecock Club"
Tiger Teeth, I understand this is your first month on the message boards. I look at your quote above and have to assume you just havent been to other SEC message boards.
If I had a nickle for every anti South Carolina message I have seen posted on nearly every SEC team board by a clemson fan, believe me I would have lots and lots of nickels.

First off, yes you guys do go to other boards and talk about us. Second, If you are saying we are always thinking about you then you need to check this board out one more time. Stay off the crack, it will mess with your brain. No offense to the real Tiger fans who understand that both teams do the same thing and if you can't understand that then you are not a real fan of the college.

V-Tech fans are just mad because one of the recruits they wanted decided to come here. From people I know at other schools, both South Carolina and Clemson have good reputations as academic institutions and for having good fan bases.

And those FSU fans are mad because the coach they couldn't beat every year is at our school. I tried to compliment your school, too...my point was that, to my experience, both Clemson and South Carolina are well-respected.

but I meant they couldn't beat him every year, so they don't like him. I think even if they beat Spurrier every year, they still would hate him cause he coached Florida. Ya'll still hated Lou Holtz, right

Yes, believe it or not, the University of South Carolina is mainly an academic institution, not a sports league. Same goes for Clemson. Although Clemson' academic standard is higher right now, USC is not some junior college. The Honors College, of which I am a member, has 1300 SAT minimum and draws more of the elite in-state students than any other school.

Elite in USC's main focus areas (Lib Arts, Business, etc)

I doubt the same can be said for Engineering and most science fields.
That speaks to a bigger problem though. I wish USC would concentrate on the Business, Law, and Arts areas and leave the Medical, Scientific, and Engineering areas to Clemson and MUSC. SO much more efficient in terms of state funding and letting each school play to its strengths.
