Here's a concern...

The GOP doesn’t have a viable, nationally electable, or a candidate that the center and right of the party can get behind…for the General Election.

SPORTS? POLITICS?

Is the common denominator money?

My ESPN 3 feed is really crappy. Good audio but picture stays frozen most of the time.

Lack of power in Clemson?

I bet they lack running water too. They’re attempting to throw is off of our game with their unfair, hillbilly advantage.

Thought I saw a national guardl corps moving into position

to relay the score with signal flags.

With the rate that we're scoring

they could just hold up their fingers.

Having been in SC the last two weeks, I can say with certainty that if you watch all the negative Political Ads

you’d think a bunch of Mother Murdering, Child Molesting, Flag Burning, Puppy Choking, Commie Pinko Fascists were running for the nomination.

However today, I can only opine that Clemson must think that we are some how related to folks at Wf’nVA, and thrashing us thusly.

Was it Darrell Royal who said something about being cut up into Boarding House Pieces, and how small that really was? I also believe he came up the line about 6 lbs. of Buzzard Puke that I pimped during the UVA game.

This guy wouldn't be conservative enough to win the SC primary...

You're right. Waaaayyyy too liberal by today's standards

Also had one of the largest single tax increase in history.

Of course Barry Goldwater would be too liberal by today's standards

Pro-choice, supporter of Gay rights, soft on drugs . . .

Way to liberal?

If I remember correctly, he decreased total taxes from 70% to 30%… soooo, explain your point a little more please?

Still voting for Ronaldus Magnus

having lived through the no-go 70’s, he was a breath of fresh air.

Hard for me to like him. I was in Nicaragua when he was feeding the Contras. Don’t get me started.

Wow, I'm not a big moral victory person

But even though we lost, I’m glad we still had that furious comeback. Good signs for our offense to get on track

Wow.

That was much closer than I was expecting. I’d love to see us put a whole game together.

Totally Agree

We were just a couple unnecessary mistakes from winning this game. Guess we’re not as bad as our last game indicated (most of us knew that, though.)

We are seriously lacking in talent

beyond Rice, Udofia and Royal. The other guys are OK at times, but have match-up problems with the top teams. Expect inconsistency for the rest of this season.

BUT

Don’t we have a really good class coming in next season? And we’ll have a home court (I’ve heard that’s advantageous in college hoops.) I’m not judging until next season. Right now I watch the games pretty much just to see the coach’s reactions and watch them be all…different than the other guy.
