how about some player suspensions?
what is this world coming to....
You DO make a point with this picture. Perhaps, if Clemson and South Carolina switched to lighter shades of uniforms (pastels even!), there wouldn't be brawls like this. Oh and the matching 3-8 seasons couldn't hurt either.
You've heard the term, "the p is silent"
Well, in Clemson, it's pronounced Clemp-son.
I don't know why - they like to add the P.
Whatever.........
A bowl is bowl. Doesn't matter. Tigers worked hard to where they got this season. And lets not forget they started 1-4 and came back to beat miami and nc. state to end the season 6-5. I would like to see any other team with the schedule we had do the same.
South Carolina is a very conservative university, as far as academia goes. The football players reflect the same kind of sociopathic behavior as the Pacers and the rap culture in general.
To get good football players, schools take bad characters.
Not much punishment - what bowls were they going to????
tire bowl or boise bowl
Y'all probably can read this but the spell checker just had a coronary.
"I don't know why - they like to add the P."
Not trying to flame anyone here, but as long as we're talking about oddities surrounding South Carolina college names, someone in Columbia ought to stand up and say that they need a new school acronym. As long as they call themselves "USC" they will always be met with a snicker for being Univ of So California wannabes. Doesn't matter who was first. Absent a change, their athletic programs will never be taken seriously.
JMHO.
What, exactly, are you trying to artest to?
I think it's rather interesting that one is the Trojans and the other the GameCocks.
Curious.......\sorry
We don't like to add the P. And to seperat south carolina form souther cal. we do this. "USuCk" And clemson ranked in the top ten in GPA of student Athletes.
They could have gotten a bid?
I think Steve Spurrier may make people take S. Carolina seriously.
as a law school alum from the real 'SC, i don't know why we haven't sued South Carolina to cease and desist their use of 'USC'
The University of Southern California was founded as such in 1880, while South Carolina College wasn't renamed to the 'Univerity of South Carolina' until 1906
