I don't think you can rely on it as a primary weapon the rest of the season. After last night the cat is out of the bag, so to speak. It was obvious that we weren't expecting to see much of it. Good defenses that are expecting it and are prepared for it will find a way to slow it down. I'll have...

Wow! Congrats on your ranking. You're ranked where you deserve to be...and so are we. As much as I hated to lose yesterday, I knew going in that it would take a monumental effort to pull off the upset. Bama was just too tough.

This is an obvious example of perception becoming reality (or in this case, MISperception becoming internet reality). This guy is not a SC beat writer...he's a columnist with the Charlotte (NC) Observer. They normally don't give us the time of day. A Gamecock coworker of mine showed me this...

Nope, it's not me. I rarely post on any Clemson boards. Reasonable discussions between Carolina and Clemson fans are few and far between , whether it be on a Carolina board or Clemson board. It's not worth the trouble. My blood pressure is borderline as it is.

They have our number, that's for sure. We were TERRIBLE.

Will be pulling for you from sunny (hopefully) Myrtle Beach during a golf vacation...with lot's of football watching on the agenda as well. Our group includes 3 S Carolina fans, 2 Clemson fans, 2 Notre Dame fans, and 1 N Carolina fan...all of whom will be Tide fans @ 4PM Saturday. This game...

I WISH we were a perennial 8-4 program.

Penn St. has been impressive. There's a lot of speed on that team. If they jump out early I don't think Ohio St. can play catchup ball. If it's close or tied going into the 4th quarter, I think the Buckeyes win. PSU is only a 2 point favorite, and Vegas is pretty sharp. Ohio St. in a squeaker.

The "roche" in cockroche is a tribute to John Roche, a 3 time All-American basketball player at SC in the late 60's/early 70's. I've been called a bonehead on other boards in the past for misspelling "roach." Carolina fans get it, but naturally other fans don't.

Gamecock fan here I really hadn't thought about the ref tackle on Garcia since Saturday. After watching the play over and over today, it's much more bizarre than I realized. I don't think they guy was out to get Carolina, was gambling on the game, etc. I DO think it was intentional, however. I...
