10 Things I Learned This Weekend

Evenin, folks! Sorry for the delay. I just got back down from a lovely weekend in the mountains, which I surprisingly enjoyed. Even being away from the hustle and bustle of big city life, I was able to catch a full slate of games on Saturday, and some things became very apparent to me as I watched

1. Clemson has the worst coaching staff in America. There's just no way to sugar coat it. I'm not going to sit here and list every mistake they made yesterday, b/c those of you who care probably watched the game and saw what I saw. But suffice it to say, it is time for a change in Clemson. The definition of insanity is trying the same thing and expecting different results. Folks, the Clemson administration is completely fucking bonkers, which brings me to this. Allow me to introduce my brand new blog: http://firectb.blogspot.com/

2. We have apparently hit some sort of rawesome football timewarp, because the top teams in America are Oklahoma, Alabama, and Penn State. Yes, I know OU has been up there this whole decade, but it appears that Penn St. and Bama are ready to join them and launch us, via football, back to that glorious period, 1975-1985, when mohawks ruled the scene and cocaine was king. Don't be surprised if any or all of these 3 teams win the national title this year.

3. The quarterback situation in Columbia is so bad, that Tommy Beecher actually got a chance to play again. Thank goodness we can always count on our little retarded brother to be worse than we are.

4. The Big 12 continues to put distance between itself and all comers for the honor of best conference in America. Call me crazy, but it seems like the SEC is actually trying to look bad. Maybe they just finally got so sick of all the fluff. SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC!

5. Cullen Harper has played himself out of the Heisman Race.

6. The ACC might not be as bad as everyone keeps saying. VT and FSU both put convincing wins on decent Big 12 teams. I can't really explain Wake's debacle against Navy though. Maybe they were looking ahead to next week's matchup with ((((((((((((((mighty)))))))))))))) Clemson.

7. Clemson will only win 3 more games this year. South Carolina won't win 1 more.

8. The Big 10 is worse than I gave it credit for.

9. Mark Richt, you have always kept your mouth closed for a reason. Perhaps this weekend reminded you of why that was a good idea. On ESPN's College Gameday, Chris Fowler asked Richt if he was prepared to deal with an Alabama team that "punched Clemson in the mouth." Richt answered simply and smugly, "We are not Clemson." It's a good thing Saban took his foot off the gas, Mark, or you might have had to amend that statement to, "We are not as good as Clemson."

10. Alabama is just so god damn awesome.

No brett. Neither team has a single good offensive lineman.

Owner,
I am a little confused. The website was started to make fun of the Gamecock faithful and the program as a whole.
I mean I read the Mission statement and it clearly states that you will keep us informed on all things Gamecocks.
But the untrained eye would think that this is a Clemson bashing website.
You have gone from anti Carolina to fire Tommy Bowden. Where have you gone wrong.
You can't predict your way out of a wet paper bag, and you truly believe that your Tigers have turned to page. We are halfway through the season and you have a petition out to fire your coach. Great website.
From this point own this website will be called the Fighting Gamecocks Forum.

Just remenber the old phrase and you finish the sentence......Those who live in glass house.......Go ahead and finish it Owner.

You are finished

Carolina's OL problem is a lot like Clemson's overall problem. The talent and skill is there, it's just that the coaches behind it all can't bring it out. Same with Carolina...the talent is there at the OL...Coach Hunt just doesn't have a clue what the hell he's doing. All excuses aside, he just isn't a good coach. Talent's there. Coach isn't.

I watched a replay of the Clemson game last night and it almost made me sick how Clemson just gave it away. I've never seen a team with as much talent as Clemson just gift wrap wins and blow games away. It's almost an enigma.

No, it IS an enigma. All Carolina and Clemson jokes aside.

Don't understand what is wrong with Richts statement.
It is right on many levels-geographically, for instance, its on the money.
Also, just take in to account that Georgia is in fact, not Clemson. They are indeed, not the same.
And, Georgia, who could have thrown in the towel, did in fact put a few points on the board. I don't remember the final score in the Clemson game, but I'm fairly sure they didn't score 30 points. And so what if if Georgia scored 14 points in the last 4 minutes, is that an easy feat? Truth is, Alabama is a damn good football team. Probably the best in the country. I cannot find a weakness in aspect of their game. But, everything that could have gone wrong for Georgia in the first half did, and everything that could go right for Alabama in the first half did. I'm not saying Georgia would have won, but I think it may have been a little more of a game. And I will reiterate, Georgia is not Clemson. This is true on every possible aspect.

I'm a bit confused by Owner's statement about Richt's statement myself. Georgia sure as hell isn't Clemson. Hell, who is? Can someone think of another team who has as much talent as Clemson, plays in a below average conference(SEC! SEC! SEC!), and still loses like they do? So Richt is right. Georgia isn't Clemson. They got beat like a red-headed stepchild Saturday, just like Clemson. But when Alabama really turned it up, they at least made an attempt to fight back. They even made it a game towards the end, but the defecit was just far too big for even a team as good as them to overcome. Clemson was ass raped from start to finish. So...Georgia isn't Clemson. But they both got kicked around by Alabama, if you want to make that connection between the two schools.

10 things that I learned this weekend:
1. Georgia is not Clemson. This was really eye opening for me. There had always been some confusion about this issue on my part-so it was good to finally set the record stright.
2. Actually, that's all I learned this weekend. I already knew Georgia was overrated and Bama was not "softer than tits." I don't really like learning all that much, anyway. I already know a lot. For example, did you know that if you stick a compact disk in a microwave, it will make these really cool blue sparks after about 4 seconds? Yep. And, that if you put a roach in the microwave, that it won't die? Just keeps walking around. Disgusting. And that the "owner" of this blawg, in highschool, ate a roach for 5 bucks and to earn the nickname "Roach?" Its true. Plus, the nickname didn't stick,

Anonymous said...

Some JA . . . yes, all of those are true, although I think you made up the part about the nickname. Don't make stuff up. It's not cool.

Anonymous said...

The roach thing is completely true. It happened during gym class. Dude ate a roach for 5 bucks and a nickname. Got the money-got hosed on the nickname.

Anonymous said...

I guess if you're going to earn five bucks you might as well do it with some style.

Anonymous said...

Yeah, I went there as well

You ate the feces of a roach?

Short-sighted? Like calling Alabama before the season, who is now the number two team in the country, softer than tits?

Practice what you preach, champ.

Unknown said...

Yes, Mike, short-sighted like that. Only in my case it was an exception. You know how I know that. It's 5 weeks into the season, and that's still the only example you nitwits can come up with.

With you rubes, being dumb and wrong is the norm. And the best part of it is, you'll keep coming back for more.

Now compare your lives to mine and then kill yourselves.

*GASP* Whose that number five? Suicide watch, anyone?

Oh Contrare Mega Fag Roach...

Your untimely "softer than tits" comment is not the only example of shortsightedness I can come up with. I will agree with you that you have a bunch of idiots responding to your blogs, but that's usually a result of your idiot magnet blogs. You got idiots on your blog like ants on a snow cone, but back to the subject of your continual and repeated shortsightedness. I feel no need to document every example, so here is another example:

1) One of your blog titles - "Live Blog of the Gamecock Loss"
USC stands at 3-2 (ironically enough so does CU). Do you predict USC to lose out and finish 3-9 still? Please enlighten us with your excellent prediction skills. (I've found that one's fan allegiance terribly clouds one's ability to accurately predict their rival's win-loss record really because of one major factor which is... well shortsightedness) You have lost the ability (and realize I am giving you the benefit of the doubt as to whether you ever had it in the first place) to speak intelligently about CU or USC. You are now a rambling mega fag roach eater. Which leads many of us to wonder about whether or not you follow Tammy's example of snacking on your own nasal residents as well.

Oh, and Saban never took his foot off the gas. Not his style. He is fuming over the fact that his team allowed Georgia to score two touchdowns and get close to a third on a mishandled onsides kick in the last 4 minutes of the game.
Props to Georgia fans for sticking around and not booing. Not too much good to say about the team, though. They are banged up, but they could have 5 losses this season easy.

Unknown said...

maverick, let me get this straight. your other example of my short-sightedness is a hypothetical than may or may not still occur?

and yes, i do still predict that they will go 3-9. but i'm willing to concede there is an outside chance of 4-8 with Arkansas still left on the schedule.

John Cocktosten, don't talk to me.

Don't ever talk to me.

mega-fag roach,

I realize that your tears over the Maryland debacle (which has suspiciously gone unmentioned specifically) may have not only blurred your vision, but your memory as well. The aformentioned blog title was a live blog of a gamecock loss - supposedly to Wofford (they won, by the way). You agree that CU is terrible, yet by some stretch you think a loss to USC is out of the question. You forget USC plays not only Arkansas, but Kentucky and Tennessee (who has a losing record). Couple those with a date at Clemson and I'll take at least two of those four. USC is not stellar, that barely needs saying, but they'll scratch a few out of those 4 and maybe another one or two unexpected ones(possibly this weekend in Oxford). Their defense will keep them in ballgames. Clemson still must play Wake, FSU, GT, BC, and USC. None of which are that great, but don't expect more than three wins from that group. Good luck taking another 8-4 season on the recruiting trail. BTW - You'll be saying goodbye to all your playmakers. Next year should be fun in tiggertown.

Touche.

Oh, and Owner. I had some free time today, so I went back and read some past articles in your blog.

Safe to say you're wrong 99.9 % of the time, everytime.

Love the Anchorman reference.

Now go change out your tampons.

...Damn. I miss all the good stuff while I'm gone.

I love watching South Florida play. Not so much because of the team on the field, but they have the coolest coach ever. I've never seen a coach get as pissed as he does. It's borderline hilarious. His whole body jiggles and he turns at least ten shades of red. Good stuff.

Well, gotta go. Mark Mangino's hotcakes are ready.

Wow. That website is pure gold, Dave.

And yes...South Florida's coach is very good, but man...his blood pressure cannot be good.
