I hear he did well at North Greenville...

2012-02-10T18:37:00.000-05:00

I would like to see him picked up as well. I think Steven Garcia is making a run at the NFL also. I heard tanneyhill is about to get a big high school coaching job as well.

If you watch any good movies let me know bro, most of them are not very good these days or maybe it is just me. I would especially like to find a good comedy, seems they are the hardest to find.

I need to check out touch

2012-02-09T19:35:00.002-05:00

Yea the whole horse racing thing turned me off with luck.

I liked the set up of the river but I'm like you with the paranormal activity thing. It does have a paranormal activity feel but they needed to make the camera work just like it. It would be much scarier that way. The scariest part was when the spanish girl was possessed by emmet. It really reminded me of paranormal activity in the scene where she looks at the camera and smiles. That was a spooky moment.

I wanted to tell you too that I heard a pretty good interview with Willy Korn on the radio today. He's going to workout at Clemson's pro day. I'm not sure it's possible with Korn's situation but I hope an NFL team gives him a shot. He's a good kid that went through a lot.

I watched the river also...

2012-02-09T05:20:00.000-05:00

It has potential, I just wish it was not done in a reality (paranormal activity) type way. The screaming may get annoying, but a show on the amazon river? Lots of potential.

Actually, I was not terribly impressed with the first episode of luck. It got better towards the end tho, you do have to be in the mood and I am not interested in horse racing. But I watched the second episode and it got way better. The first episode just starts to set up the shows identity. Suprano like, but not at all a rip off. Give it the second episode and you will see I think.

None of them are as good as touch, just a warning, they released the first episode a full month before the series starts. I did not know it when I watched it, really sux because it was one of the best pilots I have ever watched (except lost). Cannot wait for it to start.

Yeah, I don't know much about the recruits yet bro, I tend not to follow guys until I know we are in a good position to sign them. No idea which ones are leaning towards Clemson yet. But I will check them out when you mention them.

Quote from Rivals.com national recruiting analyst Mike Farrell

2012-02-08T21:37:00.002-05:00

This was from a free article on rivals about the #1 recruit this year. This quote just stood out to me.

Leading the way is Nkemdiche at No. 1.

"He's the guy this year," said Farrell. "But this isn't like Jadeveon Clowney in 2011 where we were pretty certain he would be No. 1 from start to finish. Nkemdiche is a rare talent, a big kid who can move so well he could stand up in college if needed or play anyplace along the defensive line. But when people compare him to Clowney, it's not quite the same. Robert is a special player, but there are a few guys I could see unseating him in the end. That wasn't the case with Clowney."

Believe it or not I watched a little bit of the first episode of Luck

2012-02-08T21:26:00.002-05:00

It seemed ok but just not something I'm in the mood for at the time. I'm sure I will pick up on it when it gets a lot of hype.

I did watch the 2 hr first episode of The River. We're gonna like that one I think. It has a "Lost" feel to it but the characters are not as good yet and it has a horror gist to it. Pretty good so far..

Its still very early of course...

2012-02-08T21:08:00.000-05:00

they always start out with a minimal number of 5 stars. I bet more will make it. I am starting to think the 5 star status is ruining quite a few players anyway. They get the attitude that they have arrived and do not work as hard, not all of them of course.

I have heard of that movie before, just have not watched it. I definitely will. Yet another TV show to tell you about, Luck off HBO. Has Dustin Hoffman, Nick Nolte an all-star cast. This is likely going to rival the Supranos, its already been renewed for season 2.

Rivals just released top 100 for 2013

2012-02-08T12:32:00.002-05:00

Only 11 five stars in the country. South Carolina as a a state only has 1 player in the top 100. Kind of surprised more didn't make it in from SC..

New movie for you

2012-02-07T21:56:00.002-05:00

I can't remember if you had watched the wonderful white's of west virginia or not but if you haven't you need to watch it asap. You will get a good laugh out of it. A spin off of that documentary is a movie (not a doc) called white lightnin. It turned out to be pretty good..

That's great news

2012-02-05T00:03:00.003-05:00

I think that is a really good idea. If there is anyway to mix engineering in with it somehow it would be good. That seems to be more popular while job seeking. Electronics would be really good. If I was to go back I would try for that probably.

It's no problem bro...

2012-02-04T23:36:00.000-05:00

You didn't give anything away. Nothing is as bad as the time I accidentally told you about Rita on Dexter, I still feel bad about that one. Speaking of Dexter, I watched a decent horror movie last night with lauren velez in it. That's why I watched it, because she was in it. Rosewood lane, very entertaining, especially the ending. You think, what just happened? Then, holy crap once you think about it you figure it out. Definitely worth a watch, decent horror movies are hard to find.

Not sure, June maybe?. Hiro will be coming and I am starting school in march, has to be planned around that. Getting my degree in computer networking and security. Possibly a double major. Had the university of Maryland university go over my transcripts. I only have to take 12 computer classes, one advanced English and a foreign language to get a 4 year degree.

That's a bachelors degree not an associate. It will be in the classroom here, not online and the school is very well respected. I am very excited about it. The terms are 6 weeks, I can easily get done in 2 years or less only taking one or two classes at a time. Will be looking to you for advice on the second major if I decide to do it. Computer science or CMIS? The college also offers Microsoft certifications and some other ones I will be going for as well. Let me know what you think bro.

Sorry about that bro

2012-02-04T19:50:00.001-05:00

You usually watch everything before me. I didn't really give anything away though. Good episode.

Daddy keeps asking when you're coming home?

Have not watched it yet...

2012-02-04T04:19:00.001-05:00

I try to watch movies on the weekend and tv shows thru the week, but I forgot about him too. At some point Gannicus will show up I bet too tho.

Asher, that mother f*****!!!

2012-02-04T01:05:00.003-05:00

The show did a great job of making me forget about him. Then pow! He's up to the same old tricks.

He's be with Lawless the whole time right??

In the long run it will help teams like ours..

2012-02-03T12:44:00.000-05:00

Alabama, lsu, fla etc... Signing 30 players, running them off and then repeating the next year. There will be more players out there that they don't eat up. It's their new way of cheating the 85 rule, seems as if there pretty much given a waiver to do whatever they want. Sign players borderline retarded academically, not a single NCAA violation I am aware of even with what we know about Cam Newton. The joke of a national championship this year that not too many people watched, the lowest ratings ever. Oh, and we finally ended up with a NC that did not with their conference, or division.

Teams will just have to adjust

2012-02-03T07:53:00.003-05:00

I think Spurrier's thinking was that as long as it was legal he was going to do it. I think you are seeing him start to adjust this year by only signing 25 players. The SEC had already set forth some kind of rule. Not sure exactly waht it is but we didn't break the rules this year. From my understanding some other SEC schools did. Can't remember who they are but I feel confident we will continue to follow the rules like we did this year.

Don't really know the details on either case...

2012-02-03T00:41:00.001-05:00

probably never will officially hear. Leaman or whatever is odd to say the least, but I hear a girl is involved which is logical, who know really? In terms of Joe Craig, I am a football fan and we are stacked at that position so its a good thing for Clemson to open up that spot for hopefully an extra lineman.

On that note, the NCAA from what I understand is about to enforce a 4 year scholarship rule. Clemson will be fine they sign around 20 players every year. But if you are a team that consistently signs almost 30 players, sometimes more, you might be in trouble.

Joe Craig at it again

2012-02-02T18:53:00.001-05:00

They should have dropped him the first time. At least he's gone now though..

My bad

2012-02-02T09:05:00.001-05:00

Someone had told me about the prep school thing yesterday. Apparently they was wrong. Looks like he just didn't work out..

Is SC State a prep school?

2012-02-01T21:37:00.000-05:00

I really don't know, I thought I remember seeing something about his girlfriend going there. But that of course is nothing official, maybe its because it is a prep school or he knows he won't qualify? No idea, no reason was really given. Win some, lose some.

Boring is good though

2012-02-01T18:43:00.002-05:00

No drama to worry about. I will gladly take who we got without having to add any surprises. I'm sure you would too. Clemson did lose one 4 star in this class. A lineman that's last name is like Laemon or something. He is going to prep school though and I like the prep school route. Kids generally do well after going through prep school.

I agree bro...

2012-02-01T18:35:00.000-05:00

In terms of knowing the recruits next year, I don't even know the guys you mentioned. But it sounds perfectly logical to me that they would always pump the next years class. I really did not pay much attention to it before.

Pretty boring as expected, at a glance I think we both pretty much got what was expected?

About my last post

2012-02-01T09:00:00.002-05:00

Don't get me wrong, I'm not disagreeing with you. Next year's class could very well be the best ever. I'm just saying that we hear it every year. See, the recruiting sites pump that in your head every year to keep you excited about recruiting. Thats how they make their money.

We hear it every year

2012-01-31T22:07:00.003-05:00

Next year's class is better than this year's. I hope that is the case for next year.. Because for once Carolina is in great shape for multiple big time recruits, especially in state. Normally you don't hear about Carolina and proactive recruiting, especially with big time prospects. It seems we always arrive late to the party. This time it seems to be different. We already have a commit from one of the top players, if not the top player in-state in DJ Park. If Park isn't the top player in South Carolina Tramel Terry will be and I think Carolina has a great shot with him. There are a few other names that are familiar to me from the 2013 class, when usually I don't know any names from the next year's class on signing day.

Like I said, we hear it every year that next year's class is "loaded" or "better". I won't say that I believe it but I will say that I hope the talking heads are right.

Definitely not saying...

2012-01-31T19:53:00.000-05:00

He was better than Whitfield, but he carried the torch better than I had thought. The first episode got better as it went on, I love the show. I am telling you bro, watch Touch. We have not discussed it, but I think this is going to be a great show.

I expect this to be a very boring signing day for Clemson. If there are any surprises it would probably be that someone signs with someone else. But I have learned to expect the unexpected (and disappointment). I only hope we don't waste any scholarships on fall backs because next years class is supposed to be loaded.

Spartacus

2012-01-31T12:34:00.003-05:00

Of course its not as good without Whitfield. I'm thinking it will be as good towards the end of the season. I hope it will anyway.

Signing day is tomorrow. Wonder if there are any surprises in store?

The first episode of touch..

2012-01-31T06:43:00.000-05:00

With keifer southerland was real good..

Let's get this party going again...

2012-01-28T19:11:00.000-05:00

Brent's favorite foreign movie has been made American...
Spartacus is back...
Alcatraz with Jorge Garcia and Sam Neill is on...
Warhorse, you need to see it...
Brent Venables...
Half the Scar coaching staff has departed, another this week...
Signing day almost here...
Chad Kelly...Chad kelly...swagger...Chad Kelly...
Chad Kelly has trolled Blake to the point he is considering paying for TI...
Biggest year for movies I can remember agree?...
Last season for Kenny Powers sadly coming up, but it's in Myrtle Beach...
Much much more...

I see both sides of the story

2011-11-09T22:56:00.002-05:00

Paterno legally did the right thing. He did what he was supposed to do. The question with him is if he did the right thing morally. Should he have not went to the police? And that not only goes for Joe but for everyone that knew about the situation.

It starts with the GA that caught the terrible act while it was happening. Why not kick Sandusky's ass right then and there. Even kill him?? I probably would have if I were the GA and saw what he did. Instead he ran away and told his dad about it. His dad called Paterno. Paterno reported it to the AD. And guess what.. nothing ever came from it. The GA that caught the act goes on to get a WR coaching job at Penn St..

The whole thing is fucked up. It is bad that JoePa is catching a bad wrap but imo he is just as guilty as anyone. He is catching the most hell because he is the most famous and that feeds the media.

It just goes to show how corrupt big money making orginizations can be. Even the sport we love in college football..

FWIW Brent..

2011-11-09T19:31:00.000-05:00

I get your point and I hope you are right.

This is absolutely terrible..

2011-11-09T19:20:00.000-05:00

It makes me wanna be less of a football fan. I can see that he turned it over to the AD and the coach was retired. But some of this happened in the athletic facilities for heavens sake. Hard to imagine he was not aware before either. I want to find a way to find JoePa not guilty. The more I read, the harder it gets. I can't think of a worse possible thing to happen to a school. This is just sad and I hope he is found to be clean, I just don't see it right now. I think this is something so terrible he probably just convinced himself it was not real. Make no mistake JoePa runs Penn State and is responsible for what happens in building tho. Just terrible and disgusting is all I can say.

Joepa

2011-11-09T09:54:00.002-05:00

Guys it is awful what is going on at Penn State right now, but is this story really being handled well? If you look at all the coverage there's a mention of actually committed the alleged crimes and the rest of the article is about Joe Paterno. They're going to bury him on this one, but should they? All these people are writing all this without knowing anything at all. I'm just not sure its right to ruin a man's life when he didn't commit the crime. Nobody knows what he knew but the media wants him to hang. It's not right. This country has a sickness. The media makes it stunningly clear. Joe Paterno will probably die this year because of all this. He's already guilty of the crime (Sandusky isn't famous enough) he didn't commit in the public eye because a vast majority of the people in this country are pretty damn stupid and are swayed by those dumbass reporters on television.

Did you watch the other 6 episodes?

2011-11-09T06:34:00.000-05:00

They were good and will tie into season 2.

I am almost thru the first season of Friday Night Lights, pretty good. Brent you should probably check out Nikita too.

I think Scar will beat Florida in their house, as we all know both teams are quite capable of losing. I expect us both to win.

Brent, did you see where I posted they are remaking the original BSG movie? Not tied into the reimagined series. A new series with the first Cylon war as well.

quickly

2011-11-08T09:12:00.002-05:00

Redneck with a crossbow is the guy from Boondock Saints. Hes pretty cool. I like the pizza delivery boy you should be on ninja turtles. What Blake, you don't care about the elderly in that nursing home? Immortals should be awesome, if thats the one I'm thinking about with Mickey Rourke. Oh, Vance, I did watch the first season of Spartacus BTW. I was hoping for the guy to return from his illness, but.....

Like how top 10 Clemson landed a noon game on ESPnU? No respect, lol. It doesn't matter to me really. I'm kinda glad its a noon this week honestly. This game should be over early in the third. Wake is making strides, but they're not there yet. Great qb though, so you never know. Any thoughts on SC and Florida?

Did you see the previews for next week? Wow

2011-11-07T22:14:00.000-05:00

I think it's funny, we have been discussing characters that all the sudden both seem insignificant.

The new dark passenger..

2011-11-07T21:47:00.001-05:00

Wonder where this will go lol..

I thought you did say Mexican Brent

2011-11-07T12:43:00.003-05:00

You probably did say mexican and went back and edited your post lol. You look like a mexican albino by the way..

I like the redneck with the crossbow the best too. All of the characters are good actors, it really doesn't have anything to do with that. It's like the writer is saying the same thing I am about it, "it's a damn zombie show" who cares about the characters. None of them really draw you in. Or me in I guess I should say.

I told you about Immortals a while back, looks like a good one..

Wow you got me wanting to watch the next dexter episode bad now lol.

Dexter, holy Crap!

2011-11-07T07:41:00.001-05:00

Let me know when you have watched it.

Dummy, Blake?

2011-11-06T23:40:00.002-05:00

Blake, I said of Spanish descent. Spain is a European country. Don't pull a Jenelle.

I liked many characters on BSG. As for the Walking Dead, were gonna watch more episodes tonight. I do like it, and plan to keep watching it. Still don't know if I will like any characters just yet. I know that Michael Rooker got handcuffed to a pipe and sawed his "stink palm" hand off. Ever seen Mallrats?

Wake Forest doesn't scare me. They probably should, but they don't. I am genuinely concerned about our weak defense for all the rest of the games. I'm just gonna roll with it though and have fun.

Have you guys heard of this?

2011-11-06T03:48:00.002-05:00

Coming out this week and from the producers of 300? Might be pretty good:

One more note and a warning..

2011-11-06T03:33:00.003-05:00

This is so much more entertaining than football right now, lol. We know all these shows are likely to deliver at least.

The Eddard Stark thing, the author of the books which I really want to read is absolutely notorious for doing that. Killing off characters.

Also..

2011-11-06T03:23:00.000-05:00

I don't think the show has really had enough time to get attached to anyone. My guess is they don't won't you to get attached yet, some of them are likely to get eaten this season.

Well I get attached to different characters..

2011-11-06T03:18:00.001-05:00

I like Batiatus on Spartacus and the redneck with the crossbow is my favorite on The Walking Dead. I will be very upset if he gets killed. I think its because they are more like me, lol. I agree if the kid turns into a zombie it will be hard to tell the difference and I can't wait for the woman with the head shaved to get eaten.

Yes Brent, the wife is a complete bitch (very realistic) and Shane is even worse. He gets worse, but he is still doing a good job. Oh and I liked Gaius Baltar on BSG.

Everybody was starting to like Shane I bet, hated the Redneck. What now?

Also, I won't give it away to Brent, but I got a little upset about Otis. He had potential.

These are supposed to be country folks like us, they are not yuppies from Miami or Italians from Rome. Rick Grimes is an Australian guy for example and he is blowing the part away IMO. I am looking for these people to be like us and I am sorry but I can relate to them better. I guess the guys on Spartacus and Dexter are great, never met a Gladiator or a Serial Killer from Miami to compare them with. I just know these guys are doing pretty good, never met a zombie either, so you got me there.

You gotta agree bro, this season has been more about the characters and more personable than last, thats all I'm saying.

NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND..

2011-11-06T02:30:00.000-05:00

If Connor Shaw is still alive by the Clemson game he could run for 500 yards. Our offense showed that they can play bad for 4 quarters. Not checking it off as a win and I am ok with losing. Would love to get 10 wins and an ACC championship. We have been here before, did not get either. Not even a measly win over Scar in fact. But the good thing is "I DON'T GIVE A CRAP!!!

I will also say that

2011-11-06T02:17:00.002-05:00

I am with Brent about the characters on the walking dead. Sure they are good actors but I'm not attached to any of the characters. There isn't one that if died I would be like "damn that sucks, the show will not be as good now." All of the characters could die and they could bring in a whole new cast for all I care. It's a zombie show, it's not for attaching to characters for me. I like the thrill of the show. It's more about the suspense. The show doesn't have a "Rita" from Dexter or a "Varro" from Spartacus or the best of all.. A "Eddard Stark"..

There is no character like the ones I mentioned above that would make me think less of the show if they rid them off. It's a zombie show, a good one, but a zombie show that the characters don't mean shit in to me..

By the way, is it just me or does the little boy Carl's ugliness not just urk you lol? I mean if they are trying to make you attach to the characters his part would be the one to do it with. Instead it is a ugly dying kid.. they pick howdie doodie to play the part lol..

I was joking about "Chief Crater Face"

2011-11-06T02:11:00.000-05:00

It was a joke for Vance. The guy has to be a good actor. I've seen him in a lot of stuff. I was just making fun. Technically though he is an indian if he is mexican brent, dummy.. lol

I have just seen Mos Def in movies and he surprises as an actor. You see the name "Mos Def" and you think "Ice Cube" or "Tyrese" and he blows those guys out of the water as far as rapper actors go. It's just a shock that he is dumb enough to go by the name Mos Def and be smart enough to be a good actor. I have to admit though before Dexter the only roles I saw him play were in comedies. He plays a good serious role as well as Dexter proves. I will also admit that I was intrigued with the fact that he would be on Dexter this season, moreso than Pueblo Kruger.. Sue me..

As for football, the game tonight was pretty much what I expected. All we can hope for is UGA to lose to Aubz and we beat UF. Both could easily happen. We'll see. Doesn't matter anyway though, neither SEC east team will touch LSU or Bama for that matter if they would have won.

Clemson will beat Carolina this year. I'm good with that...

As for Scar?

2011-11-06T01:40:00.000-05:00

Oh well, they have a good team but I agree, too many distractions. Arkansas is just a well coached team and LSU had better take notice. Alabama was not the only good team in their division.

No idea what will happen when we meet, we should just all agree to have fun this year. No silly banter or whatever, either team might win this one. Just joke about it and have fun.

Would not be a shocker..

2011-11-06T01:36:00.000-05:00

if Wake beat us. All we really need to do is play like we did against GT. Yes, GT as they always do played well against us in Atlanta. But we did not play well either, something that went underrated as a disadvantage was Ellington being out. He is quietly a big part of the offense. So instead of having a threat at RB, a guy that has 100 plus yards a game and usually a TD or two, we had 2 fumbles each by the RBs. Can't win like that.

I knew Brent would finally take up for me on this!!!

2011-11-06T01:30:00.000-05:00

I knew you would agree, but yes it has been because of BSG. Mos Def has been a good one for the show so I know where Blake is coming from. I think by the end tho, everyone will see what we mean. No one however is probably ever going to be as great a villain as John Lithgow on Dexter. That will be tough to top.

All I can say Brent is keep watching, I understand what you mean. They had allot to get in with only 6 episodes to work with. The first season I was entertained, gore, outstanding scenes, just the shock of a unique TV show. The first season was like a giant pilot. Great acting in the first season? Not really because with the scenes like when he went into Atlanta there was really no time or need. But this season, different set up. The zombies have been down played IMO somewhat and only now are the characters really coming out. I enjoyed last season, but I have been glued to it this season. I think I know what you like Brent and this season is more your style.

I would definitely recommend Breaking Bad and to a lesser extent (for you) Sons of Anarchy. I did not see you mention it, but tell me you have already watched Spartacus? If not that should be your next show and its not even close.

Acting in Zombie Flicks

2011-11-05T23:56:00.003-04:00

I've watched the first few episodes of the Walking Dead, waiting on Jenelle to get back to finish first season. Good show. Disgusting plot thread with wife giving up on husband after a month. Ho. Sexy Ho.

I haven't really seen too many "great" acting scenes in this show though vance. What you have to do to make people follow the characters in a show, as opposed to the situation going on, you have to give them a sense of depth. Im not there yet with the characters. I'm not emotionally invested with anyone yet like I was with the several BSG characters and the characters from LOST. I was emotional several times during both shows. Rare that TV gets me that way, if only because of the way TV has to alter its "bible" when people want to move on. I'm just a weirdo when it comes to people leaving unnaturally and how a show handles this is part of the staying power for me. I have discovered that I have emotional withdrawal when a show ends and that's why it takes me so long to find another one. Both Lost and BSG broke my heart and I need time to find other people to really care for. I like strong morals that are flawed and tested...Batman for example. Any shows you can recommend? Dexter kills, and that "kills" it for me on that one. Any suggestions? I'm reading the second book of Game of thrones now. And yes, I'm drunk.

Whoa!!!

2011-11-05T23:43:00.003-04:00

Blake, don't talk about Edward James Almos. He ranks up there with Captain Picard and Han Solo dammit. Mos Def doesn't have shit on him and if you watched Battlestar Galactica you would know that. He has charisma, machismo, and vulnerability. I won't hear about some shit rapper even being on the same level as Admiral Adama, who got a best actor nomination for STAND AND DELIVER. I didn't even read most of the posts about it, and for the record he is of Spanish descent. Sure his face looks like a gravel driveway, but he would kick "your fat, lazy ass" to quote.

What a fucking game tonight by the two best teams in the country. I want the rematch and if the BCS doesn't give us that, fuck 'em. Nobody is close to these two teams.

Carolina played admirable, but Stephen Garcia took his toll on this team in the end. Spurrier looks older and I think this team's psyche has been hurt by all the bullshit that has happened to them. Fuck you Garcia.

I'm ready to see Clemson back in action against a WF team that had their chances against Notre Dame and their super 10 spray painted helmest tonight. I am very afraid of facing Georgia Tech in that conference game though, so I will be hoping for the Hokies. GT just matches up too well with Clemson's defense and I will not be able to live through another 2009 two losses to Paul "slap a player" Johnson and his wing T, wishbone, power I, Tom Osborne, win one for the gipper offense.

For good luck!

That got me going

2011-11-03T18:12:00.001-04:00

Thanks

Just sent it to you bro..

2011-11-03T10:22:00.001-04:00

Let me know, be sure to look to the right of the page and scroll down.

That is the site I'm using

2011-11-03T09:19:00.002-04:00

Or maybe it isn't, the first one to come up on google is the site you gave me and that's the one I'm using. Can you email me the page that has all the episodes for the 2nd season? All I can find is the 6 episodes of the 1st season on that site.

Google Watch Series bro..

2011-11-02T20:53:00.000-04:00

Its the first thing to come up on google and its where I get everything. If you cannot find the new season you are on the wrong site, every episode goes up there like 2 hours after it airs. Actually, the first episode of Dexter came out on there a week BEFORE it aired? No idea how, but it happened. Same thing with the Walking Dead last year.

Just joking about Sho Nuf, I mean Mos Def, lol. I think he has been good for the show as well.

Just messing with you bro

2011-11-02T12:07:00.002-04:00

Yea it looks like brother Sam got shot. I don't think he dies though. It is a good season so far.

I like The Walking Dead and I know other people do. It just isn't as good as like Dexter, Spartacus, Sopranos, ect. To me it isn't but everyone has their preferences and The Walking Dead is more of the type of thing you prefer. I like it as well. I'm having a hard time finding a good place to watch the new season. Shoot me a email of the site you're using. The site you gave me before doesn't have the new season up yet.

Also, Dexter is Hiro's favorite show...

2011-11-02T01:22:00.002-04:00

In terms of acting?

2011-11-02T01:21:00.000-04:00

Seriousy bro, all those completely unknowns on The Walking Dead blow them both away. A serious drama with absolutely no comedy what so ever about zombies and they pull it off? Thats acting.

I know you say it is my type of show, but go to the Rivals board and ask everyone to post their top 5 shows and see how many list it. You might get 2 or 3 that don't and they probably have not watched it.

I mos definitely disagree..

2011-11-01T23:51:00.000-04:00

I don't think he is an Indian, lol. Also, his role has not really got going yet. Looks like mos def is mos definitely over. Nothing has really happened yet, but it's mos definitely coming. I was going by Battlestar Galactica, I mos definitely thought he was great there.

The walking dead has been great, both are very good this year.

So far I give MOS DEF the edge as the better actor..

2011-11-01T22:15:00.004-04:00

over your old ass indian guy on Dexter lol.

"Wrinkled Face" plays a good creepo role but as an actor against MOS DEF?

Homeboy is killin it over the mohican lol.

No but for real, I told you he was a good actor and I bet you will know who he is from now own. I don't get the "MOS DEF" alias either. He could do much better as an actor without it. Great actor with a lot of potential. Rapper? Not so much. That is his claim to fame though. He is a much better actor than rapper imo

Yeah, oh well..

2011-11-01T05:19:00.000-04:00

No big deal really.

I think you guys have a legit shot at beating Arkansas. Would be nice if your offense finally showed up, which is very possible.

Surprised me as well bro

2011-10-31T22:00:00.002-04:00

In a way you can kind of look as a relief. Like, "Ok we got that one out of the way now let's go win the ACC."

GT just came ready to play. They had a gameplan to limit Clemson's amount of possessions and stuck with it. I was impressed with what little bit I saw of them. I got the game recorded but haven't got to see it yet.

Yes Carolina keeps edging by. I will find it hard to believe we will get past Arky with a win. If the offense can score 28 points we have a chance with anyone we play with our defense. I just don't think we will get them this week..

Well there it is..

2011-10-30T05:39:00.000-04:00

We knew if Clemson played a full game like we have seen them play a quarter in every game, sometimes even a half this would happen. Did not expect it in this one, but I guess we should have? All the experts did. Oh well, what can you say?

Clemson is coming off a losing season and has already won as many as most predicted going in. I know I am still ok with the season, as I said I expected it anyways.

Gamecocks still trucking along, quietly winning every week.

What Today Brings

2011-10-29T11:16:00.002-04:00

Wow, good post Blake. Especially the end, where you turned into some old colored woman with no teeth doing voodoo in the bayou. I did put that shirt on there, but I didn't do it because Auburn won. I did it to be funny though.

Tennessee is already playing for next year. I still think South Carolina needs a big margin of victory to gain some momentum for the final weeks of the season. The chicken curse is shaking all around Colombia at the moment.

Clemson a pretend team this year?

2011-10-29T01:17:00.002-04:00

As the great Lee Corso would say "not so fast my friend!"

Point of that title is this Clemson team is different. They control have/can/will control every ball game they play this year. This is not the Clemson of old. This is a national powerhouse team. I had my jealous struggles with the fact but now I am past them. I have no problem with the fact that Clemson is just a great football team this year.

I was surprised at Deptula's take on this game against GT. Even he has jumped on this national bandwagon of GT upsetting Clemson. He all but said GT would win. He always leaves room for him to not be wrong, but he really thinks GT will win this game.

I don't get it. Why is the hype there for GT. Yeah, they they have the #8 pass defense in the country but they also have the #94 rush defense in the country. Why pass on GT if you can run all day on them?

Don't get me wrong, GT is a good football team. They have had a couple of bad losses but they are well coached and have a semi-dynamic offense. An offense that no team in the NCAA wants to face. It's tricky and very disciplined. The Clemson defense will have their work cut out for them.

What GT and all of the media don't realise is Clemson will match every point GT can score easily. It really wouldn't matter if Clemson had Abbeville's defense. Clemson can match every point GT can score. I'm not doubting that Clemson couldn't do the same against the likes of LSU and BAMA. And that is no bullshit. Clemson has one of the 2 most explosive offenses in the nation. The other is Okie St.

Clemson and Oklahoma lite are virtually the same team. Chad Morris brought a Big 12 offense to Clemson. A offense that is built to stand on it's on and not worry or depend on a defense. His offense says score at all costs. No other team in the nation has a better offense than Clemson and Ok St. Problem is the defense of both teams in the eye of the media. Thing is Clemson's defense isn't that bad. They have bad stats sure but not terrible if you watch them play. Same goes for OK St. They don't have a terrible D either. I would easily give Clemson's defense the edge between the two.

Man I am just rambling but I like reading you guy's rambling posts so I will continue and see how long I can go lol.

Bottom line with GT is that they can't beat VA or Miami and people actually think they can beat the Clemson team I just rambled on about? No way, won't happen. It may be a close game but I would be really shocked if Clemson didn't win by 20 or more.

On to Carolina, Tenn is as bed ridden as we are. They have their all-sec QB injured as well as their version of Alshon Jeffery at WR in Justin Hunter. They will start a redshirt QB from Rock Hill SC that neither of our teams offered in Justin Worley. What should that tell you about this game? It should tell you that Clowney will have a field day crushing the QB from his former cross town rival school. That's what it should tell you. What it tells me is that there is a possibility that this kid will go out there and light it on fire in the name of the chicken curse. That is what it tells me..

Moving on, still rambling. Do you guys think that Clemson's toughest game will be against Carolina? Even though I have lost nearly all confidence in my team I still feel like it will be Clemson's toughest matchup of the season. The only reason is because of our defense. And I guess that is more about what this question is about. I'm not talking about the Clemson vs Carolina game in general. Our offense is really bad and I think it will be much worse without Latt. What I really mean to ask is if South Carolina's defense is the kryptonite that can slow down Clemson's offense. I know VT defense is good but I think South Carolina's is better. I'm not wrong for thinking that am I? Deptula implanted this in my brain today but I'm not sure how much I can respect his opinion on things right now after hearing him not go all out saying Clemson would beat GT but instead weigh in on the upset.

I don't think Clemson will lose a game this season unless they pull a "Old timey Clemson". But this is a different Clemson team and if they do lose I will scream from the tallest hill in Calhoun Falls that "THE TIGER CURSE HAS BEEN BORN!"

You may think that is crazy, but I have planted one. A tiger curse. I made it a ritual and Brent helped me do it. It was an asshole move by him at the time and I can promise you that he doesn't even know what he did but maybe, just maybe it will come back to bite him and Ben Tillman will smite the Tiger nation all because of young Brent's actions towards a lowly Gamecock fan after the Auburn loss...

I'll give you a little hint Brent: you missing a purple Clemson shirt that was way too short for you? I found it hanging on the back of my computer chair very neatly like a flag after we lost to Auburn. It has been sealed with a scroll that will only open when this lowly Gamecock fan needs a Garnet light to prevail. I will choose my time. All I can say bro is blame Brent for being a asshole when the seal is broken..

I was missing one antidote for my potion to seal the scroll. I needed a little bit of Spurrier's pee but I figured a drop of Bird Dog Whiskey would work just as well. Only thing I'm afraid of is that a mandrake will pop out and freeze me when I unravel the Clemson rag.

You think I'm crazy yet? Maybe I do too but it's my last hope and I am my mama's son lol..

Good points Brent..

2011-10-28T23:38:00.000-04:00

I think Clemson has to play bad to lose this one.

I can understand it being an upset alert for most. This is another game the old Clemson loses. But so is VaTech and the NC game. I just think everyone expects the old Clemson to show up, even if briefly for a game. I think if it happens, it's going to be with a team like wake that we slack off on. I doubt GaTech in Atlanta will catch a Clemson team expecting to roll over them. They know it could be a battle and they have to be ready.

Upset Alert!

2011-10-28T20:32:00.002-04:00

I think everyone in the country is picking Clemson to lose this game and for the life of me I can't understand what they're seeing that I'm not. I understand the whole back against the wall mentality, but the bottom line is that Georgia Tech doesn't have the talent to stop Clemson from scoring. Sure, people will jump all over Clemson's defense, but which one is worse? To me, the defense is a toss up. Too many national "experts" see a score and draw conclusions from that. One guy said that Clemson has to lose at "some point." My question is, why? Because they have to? What kind of sense does that make? Law of averages? Look, Clemson's offense is vastly superior to anything else in the ACC. The defense is mediocre at best, but there are times they play exceptional. In my opinion, Kevin Steele chooses one thing to completely stop, like the interior run game, and relies on inexperienced talent to make their plays. Sometimes its a pick, and sometimes its a 70 yard pass. Screw that. There's nothing to sway me in this game. Clemson will score their 45 and Georgia Tech will get to 30.

I am hesitant to say a whole lot about Carolina right now, because this is kind of a new team starting tomorrow. I will definitely be dialed into it and will respond accordingly. They'll win by 7-10 points. 20-10 or so. Carolina is 6-1 and nobody is talking about them. I wonder is Spurrier uses that motivation?

Little something for halloween..

2011-10-28T10:57:00.001-04:00

One reason why the Big East has at times rivaled the Acc in basketball..

2011-10-28T06:53:00.001-04:00

http://m.espn.go.com/ncb/story?storyId=7157051

Also another reason Uconn may not be coming to the Acc as most think.

The walking dead has been great..

2011-10-27T03:28:00.003-04:00

Already renewed for season 3.

Dexter has been better that last season so far as well.

Started watching Sons of Anarchy

2011-10-25T12:19:00.001-04:00

I think I will roll with it next. Decent show after the first episode.

If I was going to re-watch something..

2011-10-24T19:47:00.002-04:00

It would be Lost.

Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy...

2011-10-24T19:44:00.000-04:00

Just to name a couple for you.

I ain't 'fraid no ghost

2011-10-24T19:21:00.002-04:00

I think it was all in my head. Once I said something about it hasn't been behind me anyway lol.

Brent's new wife is making him watch Once upon a time. I watched all of the walking dead and the new season started yesterday. Not sure what I will watch next. I've been rewatching the wonder years a little bit. It'll be my 4th time lol. Love that show. Brent says you remind him of Wayne LOL..

Its ok bro..

2011-10-24T18:37:00.000-04:00

Cause when I get home I'm slapping your little ghost.

I watched two new shows last night, Grimm and Once Upon a Time. Fairly interesting, nothing great, but its hard to tell from a pilot. There is a new show I have not watched yet that I want to see, Boss with (Frazier from Cheers). Its not a comedy and I think worth a shot.

Good post bro

2011-10-24T18:07:00.000-04:00

That was pretty much what I was trying to say.

Lets shy away from this..

2011-10-23T23:20:00.000-04:00

I understand Blake's point and he understands mine.

This is what I think:

Right now:

1. Alabama
2. LSU
3. OSU
4. Boise
5. Clemson
6. Stanford

Clemson will certainly jump Boise State, whether they know it or not they are an alternate in case there are not 2 undefeated teams. But, the kicker to this IMO is that at least after they play Oregon, Stanford will pass Clemson. Considering OSU is playing OU, none of them are likely to pass them. There is a shot we play 2 more top 10 teams if they win out, Scar and VaTech. Might help, but I think Stanford and OSU have to drop a game. Which is very possible, its also very possible we do as well.

The point is not the writer of articles..

2011-10-23T19:18:00.000-04:00

Its the content of the articles. Also, who hasn't made fun of Holly Rowe? Larry Williams frequently posts links to Heather Dinnich's articles on TI and he respects her opinion. Until now she has been very critical of Clemson, as she should have been.

Apples to organges comparing Holly Rowe commentating to someone writing articles and the content of their articles. Whether its Ron Morris or anyone else, trying to immediately discredit the author vs the content of an article is never going to work. Other people are going to read it even if you don't.

It wasn't so much Heather for me

2011-10-23T14:58:00.002-04:00

It was the fact that Vance brought her up. Everyone knows Vance has always hated women involved with football. Holly Rowe and especially the commentator on ESPN 2 and pretty much any other woman that has talked about football has been a joke to Vance. Just struck me funny that he would bring a Dinich blog post to the site. He would have done the same if I would have done it..

Its Happening....

2011-10-23T09:02:00.002-04:00

Well, it is definitely fun right now being a Clemson fan. I know it's still a long shot to get to the NC, but at least were one of the few teams left in the hunt in late October. What a great feeling. I'm going to be sunshine today and not focus on the defense.

As for the last few opponents....who is going to be able to stop Clemson from scoring? I'm not sure anyone else on the schedule can hang with Clemson, offensively. South Carolina's defense is pretty great, but they're not going to hold Clemson under 20 points. Everyone is just being overwhelmed by Clemson's scoring ability. When does the madness end?

BTW Blake, Heather Dinich isn't that bad of an analyst. She's pretty well informed and does actually talk to players and coaches just like Chris Low and that weird little B1G guy lol. Sexist ass.

Must be bitter sweet for Texas Tech..

2011-10-23T02:36:00.002-04:00

James is a legit part of that offense now.

What we are going to need..

2011-10-23T02:32:00.002-04:00

Is for you to go to the SEC championship game and knock that last SEC team off for us, lol.

OSU is good..

2011-10-23T02:25:00.000-04:00

But I would have a hard time calling anyone better than OU until they play them. They just could not get going really until late. Old TT had that offense ready to play. If I were OSU, I would not overlook Texas Tech. Again, I am not predicting Clemson to the BCS championship. Just that there is a legit path there if they go undefeated. For one, GaTech in Atlanta and probably having to beat VaTech twice. Scar is definitely a tough one as well.

I think Ok St should be your bigger concern

2011-10-22T23:37:00.001-04:00

Have you seen them play this season? They are better than Oklahoma..

Even closer..

2011-10-22T23:33:00.001-04:00

TT putting it on Oklahoma at the half.

One step closer

2011-10-22T23:30:00.001-04:00

With Whisky falling today.

I hope that zombie apocalypse that you were talking about starts soon lol..

We will..

2011-10-22T22:47:00.000-04:00

With Wisconsin losing, we will sit at 6th. When one of the top 4 lose and 2 of them are guaranteed to because they play each other we will jump Boise. If we keep winning that is. Boise probably won't move down, but we will jump them. Keep your fingers crossed 3 of the top four don't lose, again 2 are guaranteed. Because that's all it would take.

Hey there all you Clemson Reddnecks lol..

2011-10-22T22:28:00.001-04:00

Cool do that bro..

2011-10-22T22:26:00.000-04:00

Because you and Gamecock Will are neck and neck right now. You can always do that, just pretend you are too cool to argue. Later, I'm gonna go read about Clemson beating of unc today.

We will find out if you go undefeated

2011-10-22T22:24:00.004-04:00

The truth is the coaches aren't showing you much respect right now, even after beating 3 ranked teams. They have you tied for 8th place with Oregon, a team with a loss. May be the coaches are starting to see that your schedule wasn't so tough after all. With as bad as Auburn is and Wake beating the almighty Noles..

Mostly because the coaches expected..

2011-10-22T22:22:00.000-04:00

Clemson to pull what they normally do. The human factor plays a role, also the bcs just came out last week. You can expect quite a few reporters and coaches to start voting Clemson ahead of Boise now. The computer system is based off several factors, a big one is where the human poles rank teams. At the start of the season did you think Boise was better? How about now? Strength of schedule is no comparison, not with Wisconsin either, we are miles ahead of them both.

I bow out bro

2011-10-22T22:19:00.001-04:00

You and Heather are right about everything..

Not as much as Holly Rowe I bet lol

2011-10-22T22:15:00.004-04:00

I know how much you love women in football. Like Death Rowe or the woman commentator on ESPN 2. I never thought I would see the day you used a woman's opinion to back you up in an argument about football LOL..

If any of what you said is true

2011-10-22T22:07:00.002-04:00

Or your new expert Heather lol, what is your reasoning behind Boise being ranked ahead of you right now in the BCS rankings?

If it's not because of the season they had last year or because of their schedule strength, what?

Did you read it?

2011-10-22T22:00:00.000-04:00

Or did Billy bob tell you she was bad one time? Pretty good FACTs to back up her articles. I guess when you don't have any actual facts, you respond with.

Heather Dinnich, bwaaa haaa haa

How much does she get paid to do this? Bwaaa haaa haaaa.

Heather Dinich??

2011-10-22T21:53:00.003-04:00

ESPN blogger????

BWWAAAAHHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!

I'll just leave this here for you..

2011-10-22T20:45:00.002-04:00

http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/blogpost?blogname=ncfnation&id=50045

I know you have help as well..

2011-10-22T20:06:00.000-04:00

Remember when it was predicted that no quality OC was going to work for Dabo? Just saying bro, that was another example of a prediction based on a completely biased opinion and quite frankly it was silly.

There really is no need to argue..

2011-10-22T20:00:00.000-04:00

I read what you wrote there completely based on being biased with absolutely no facts and say why would I argue that? The first prediction for Clemson and the ACC you get right will be exactly that, the first one you get right. The computer does not give points for your record the previous year or for what your conference has done the past 5 years. Unless you are talking about how it will help SEC caliber teams, it's not going to help you being Scar. Do you think if Vanderbilt won the Sec they would let them jump Stanford? No they wouldn't and neither would you. Lsu and Alabama's schedule is about 3 times tougher than yours.

At some point you are going to stop being so biased with all your opinions, that or you are going to continue to be very disappointed.

When did I say WVU wasn't any good?

2011-10-22T15:00:00.002-04:00

You're the one making stuff up lol. May be you should trade Maryland for Temple if you want to judge a program's value by one game. There is a reason conferences don't want WVU. But they would still be a much better choice than Syracuse or Pitt. Unless we're talking basketball I guess?

I realise that A&M and Mizzou would be SEC teams when they make the move? But they still bring the same value that the computers look for. The same value they have brought to Texas and Oklahoma when they beat them in the past. Pitt and Syracuse bring less value from a football standpoint than what the ACC already has, and that is pretty bad.

So if South Carolina went undefeated and beat #1 Bama or #1 LSU (whichever it would be) in the SEC title game we wouldn't beat out all of the teams I named to play for it all? Pretty sure we would be ranked #1 or #2 and It would be us playing Oklahoma. We would take the place of Bama or LSU and no one is beating out those guys to play for it. You're kidding yourself bro if you think otherwise lol.

In Clemson's case this season if any of these teams are undefeated: LSU, Bama, Oklahoma, Ok St, Whisky, Stanford, and possibly Boise St would beat out an undefeated Clemson team.

Really no need to argue over it. I think Clemson is going undefeated this season and the BCS computer's will prove my point.

What is the point in going undefeated if you get no shot a the national title though? No need to bring up Carolina either because we couldn't go undefeated in the Conference USA much less the SEC so you can drop that argument. This about Clemson and the ACC anyway, no need to drag lowly Carolina into it to try to make an argument.
