This made me think about the issues at Clemson. I believe they were about to cut women's swimming or women's track and field, and the girls filed a lawsuit. Well in the initial filing, it was mentioned how all the football players are given dodge challengers or chargers. Needless to say, Clemson quickly settled the matter out of court.This is where we're at. All anyone cares about is the result. They don't care how much money has to get funneled to players through illegal means. They don't care how much other aspects of a university have to be neglected in order to please the players. All they care about is winning.
There are only a few universities willing to sell their souls like that. The rest of us can strive to be at the top of tier 2.
This gets forgotten too oftenManny McSpittle vetoed the Alonzo hire because he didn't want someone more qualified looking over his shoulder.

Ed Reed is a part time mascot without the bird costume. And as great a player as he was, high school kids couldn't care less about him. Alonzo would have possibly been a change agent, so that got vetoed.Then they hired Reed for PR and he comes in to collect his paychecks every few months
yea we shoulda beat Bama wtf bro

Of course not, but people here are talking about being in the top 5.We don’t need to sell our soul to win The Coastal bro. That’s just facts.
You mean troll to your last breath. Cause thats all you have done since I can remember.Program is so dead. No coming back. But I will root for it like it’s my last breath
This is a 8-4 9-3 team for the rest of eternity. Anyone that tells you differently lives in another universe.
it’s a canes thing you wouldn’t understand is getting harder and harder to live by as the years go on. Go canes
I'm pretty apathetic to the whole thing.
Of course not, but people here are talking about being in the top 5.
Our underachievement in our conference is a completely different story. There is no excuse not to be in the ACCCG this year. Not one.
Parity, parity, parity, parity.
I’ve been hearing parity for a while. The fact is, CFB has never been a sport of parity. It has always been the haves & the have nots. Parity is defined as the state or condition of being equal. Well, the fact is, there has never been equals in CFB.
Brothers & Sisters, I would admonish u to go back to the beginning of CFB all the way back to 1869. U will find in every single decade, there were only one to two teams that dominated that decade & u would have a team sprinkled in here or there that would win. I’m talking from Princeton, to Yale, Harvard, Michigan, Minnesota, Bama, ND, Oklahoma, SC, OSU, Nebraska, Bama, Miami.
Truth be told, we didn’t really start having parity or the perception of it from 2002 - 2008. If anything that was the anomaly. Seriously, go see how teams were racking up 4-5 titles per decade &/or playing for it, since the inception of CFB.
Listen, call me a mope, I don’t give a Fck; I live in reality. When I see Bama, I see part admiration, part envy, and part hatred. Bama was a suck *** program from 94 - 2006. I’m talking scandals & all that. They did something about it; they hired a former Nat’l Championship coach, 4 yrs removed from his last championship to ride the wave, and said “here’s the check book, whatever u want.” I like that mentality. It makes me envious of that type of mentality. And I hate what Bama has become, BECAUSE of what I see HERE.
We’ve been a middling program from 2005-current. We had not one, not two, not three, but FOUR opportunities to right this ship before it went way, way off course. I can’t blame Bama for us hiring Randy Shannon. On December 8, 2006, we hired Randy Shannon. On November 27, 2006, Alabama hired Nick Saban, yet Saban was in our backyard, coaching at the football stadium we would call home.
Man, miss me w/ the parity chit. We created this paradigm shift. We did this. This is our punishment for incompetence. As a fan, I want to win National titles, but folks give me some ACCCG’s. Give me some NY6 games. Give us something to build upon to show we r moving in the right direction.
There has never been parity, and we willingly gave up our seat at the table. Those r the harsh realities.
I only said there wasn't an excuse.Well, prepare thyself.
If he's a corrupt politician, then I would at least expect him to understand how to work the system a little better. Nobody is going to tell me that teams like Bama, Clemson (Miami back in the day) are as good as they are for as long as they are and playing by the rules.As long as you keep hiring sons of corrupt Miami politicians with no experience as head coaches, this will continue...tried to tell you this and got negged for it. But I want national championships and others are just happy to have one their "own."
You can root for the team while also addressing the reality of the situation.How about just tune in and root for your team realizing what they are.
