Yall do realize that 99.9% of the fans on the usc rivals board has ZERO respect for UNC, predicting double digit victory and ZERO respect for the ACC. Yet, I see a lot of coddling going on here. Get a backbone guys. Ill be a Tarheel fan on September 3rd for sure.

It's all good man, I wasn't singling you out. It's just an annoying thing that fans of other teams, and WORSE, some Carolina fans do that drives me nuts. When you correct them, they're just like "well, I've always spelled it this way."
Yeah...well you've always been wrong, dumb*** lol. Very excited for this game though! Got my tickets in the mail last week.
Good luck to the Heels. From what I can tell your offense will be very good. Hated to see Quinshad Davis leave the state but he is a talented WR. Should be a good game.
We don't get too many players out of S.C. these days, so getting Quinshad was definitely a small coup for us, especially considering the fact that Fedora had just assumed the role of head coach in December (i.e. 2 months before that NSD).
A lot of us wanted the staff to go after Davis, but in the end, they opted for different players at that position. Ive watched his progress over the last couple of years. Good player.
We had one WR position open and from what I remember told both Davis and Kwinton Smith out of Dillon the first to commit would get it. Smith did and now is playing baseball somewhere. Not sure Davis would have come to SC anyway. That was few years ago. Right around the time Clemson got either Mike Williams or Charone Peake.
I was waiting for a Clemson fan to jump from the "USC Disrespect . . ." post to this one. It was only a matter of time before they felt the need to insert themselves into a civil statistical discussion between fans of opponents in a game that will not involve Clemson. I kindly refer you to post #17 above.
It would be helpful for everyone on this thread if you were to use "Clemson fans" in place of "us" and "Clemson coaches" in place of "they" in your post above. Thanks.
Ever have Taylor Sanders in History?
And what house were you in? Was Buddy Atkins still the dean of fraternities when you were there?
Hazing. It wasn't that bad from what I hear--much less than another fraternity did about 15 years ago, and they were only suspended for a year.
And, yes, Pi Kappa Phi was two houses down from Phi Psi.

All, just wanted to stop by after the game. Not to gloat but to say I had a good time in Charlotte and met a number of nice UNC fans sitting around. There was absolutely some friendly taunting on both sides throughout the game, but all in good fun. My takes from a USC perspective:
(1) I don't understand Fedora's play calling inside the 10 on that last drive. I mean I get that the passing game was what got the several first downs leading up to the first and goal from the 9. But why not spread us out with your receivers and then run Hood? That kid was a beast. It looked to me like he wasn't just getting open holes. He was breaking tackles. Isn't that the guy you want with the ball in his hands on the 9 yard line rather than a guy who has already thrown 2 picks, including one in the end zone?
(2) Having said all that, I was completely impressed with your WRs. QD and Bug were dominant when thrown to. Switzer found some nice space as the second option in Quise's progressions, and then he turned that space into extra yardage. I can see why Fedora went to them time and again between the 20's . . . just not in the red zone.
(3) While I didn't see many outstanding individual efforts on your D (with the exception of a couple plays by the CBs, who were in perfect position and had perfect technique on several plats), I thought in general Chizik had your players playing their assignments well and in a good position to do so. My only thing is that late in the game we kept running the read option to the right and there was no one there. We ran it to the left and we ran into all of your LBs. I would have thought after the second or third run Chizik would have made the adjustment. But I guess he assumed what we all assumed is that the USC's left side of the OL led nearly every decent running play for us last year and would do so again this year.
All in all, I predicted that it would be an even match coming down to a score in the 4th quarter. Of course, I expected the over. Can't get everything right. Thanks again for the hospitality in Charlotte from the many UNC fans I met (and I very much was impressed with BOA Stadium and the renovations to the club level and suites). Good luck the rest of the year.
