The same Lorenzo Ward who said there’s nothing wrong with the 3-4 defense and doesn’t plan to get rid of it.

What is “a lot of traffic”? Double what it was a few weeks ago when you were over there talking to yourself? I doubt your weekly views are even close to a peak hour views number here.

Waiting to see if these little pissants all walk through Gamecock Village again this week with their stupid Dr. Dre headphones on trying look all stone faced killa. At the end of the game last Thursday that strut through GCV made them look like complacent fools. The ECU Pirates are liable to give them another week of trouble at Williams Brice.

The dreadlocks and tattoo’s make them look even that more hard.

As someone noticed earlier, did you notice the lack of dreadlocks and tattoo’s on the aTm players? They played like a well disciplined team, not a bunch of individual players who were looking to distinguish themselves from their teammates and only to be on the highlight reels.

Don’t fool yourself that Spurrier can’t coach defense. He knows when it needs to be fixed. Look how fast John Thompson’s DL standing at the line defense lasted here. One, two games? He was shown the door. I cannot remember when exactly, but he took over the defense at Duke, I believe, for three, four games, until it was doing what he wanted it to.
He vastly PREFERS offensive play calling, but the man knows the game.

Texas A&M is not NFL calibur, so it is big trouble for SC. Probably a 4-8 team this year.

Georgia will be our only loss in the East, they will play for the SEC title and win it. USC will continue as before, a decent bowl, lots of bragging rights. Clemson, well , will be Clemson. About the same scenario – a successful season – maybe a win over USC but doubtful and eventually IPTAY will grow tired of Dabo and the gang and flip the switch. Give both coaches two more years

Spurrier retiring at will because he can and there is life after football. We will be forever grateful. Dabo’s act will just grow old to the IPTAY folks but he will coach wherever he wants.

I had actually forgotten the details of his contract. This was just after the Orange Bowl win and, perhaps more importantly for some in the administration, after the Chronicle of Higher Education ran a major feature on Dabo and religion in the football program. “We’ll show those lib’rals.

The Clemson administration and Board of Untrustees made the mistake of giving Dabo a huge buyout, not to mention paying his assistants more than nearly all other assistant coaches in the country. And for what, exactly? In actual football games last year, the team went 2-2. This year, 0-1.

Yes, but Spurrier is a clever one. The team goal is the SEC Championship. Getting humiliated by the Aggies did not affect the outcome of that goal. Davis and Thompson are healthy. In many ways this season, from a divisional standpoint, still looks like it did last year at this time.
We could play all backups Saturday, lose to the Pirates, and still be in contention for the East. Don’t forget, Georgia has a week off to prepare and we should be doing our best to show up for that game in the same condition as they are if we have ANY chance of stopping Girly Man. Trying to think positive as hard as it is.

Yeah, nothing like attaining your goal of an SEC championship getting your ass handed to you by another SEC school.

So you’re already preparing your excuse for the Georgia game.

Typical dirtpecker fan response, say something negative about dear team, you are automatically labeled a tater.

How are you going to play for the SEC championship if you’re 0-2 in the SEC including a loss to Georgia. You expecting Georgia to lose twice to SEC East teams?

Squishy is my bitch September 2, 2014 at 8:49 pm

No need to worry about squishy, he is every bit of a Clemson fan but is too embarrassed to admit it. He comes on here all the time doing nothing but talking smack against only the gamecocks because he did not get asked to play ball for them. Its funny he call them dirtpeckers as if that is some sort of insult when the truth is Gamecocks had put their peckers in his momma for years. He will then come back talking about “class” but anyone who has ever read his BS knows he has none to speak of to begin with. Its why not one person on this site has ever come to his defense when he gets it thrown back at him. He is a little bitch. In fact he repeatedly says he will ignore me talking back to him, but he cant and just has to reply. I’d bet he has some typical BS reply here just wait for it. It would prove my point. FYI he post under many different names, and up votes his own comments too. He is actually not just a bitch, I have made him my bitch. And that’s the best thing in the world his sorry ass could ever hope for!!

Its Gonna Get A LOT Worse September 2, 2014 at 6:31 pm

LMFAO….Besides East Carolina, Vandy, Furman and S. Alabama —- pray tell who else do the Lamecocks have a prayer of beating without any D? Kentucky and Tennessee are going to be close….IF and its a BIG IF those 6 games can be salvaged, SC will get a bid to the Duck Commander Independence Bowl in Shreveport on the 27th (where they will face an ACC team, most likely Boston College or Georgia Tech. My prediction is the Lamecocks will not hit the magic 6 and they will shuffle with their tailfeathers eaten off back down to Columbia on Nov 29.
My main question about South Carolina this year is, “How long will Spurrier hang on before he says ‘F it and heads out to the golf course with a case of beer’?” That’s the main question. I predict they will basically be coach-less before/after the Florida game in the Swamp.

It didn’t actually start to empty until the 4th quarter with about only about 8 minutes left.

No problem, they will be in the top 10, again, after beating Little Carolina and you will criticize the polls for not having them higher. Truth, Clemson and SC are not top 25 teams.

You can tell what is going to happen on the first ECU offensive set of downs. If you see USC in the uncovered 4 defense, (that’s 4 down lineman and linebackers 6 yards off the ball and not stunting), then it’s another blow out game for the USC opponent. Just check it out. Ward thinks that he has fantastic defensive players like last year that can make any rotten defense look good. He doesn’t, just good solid players, and they can’t make him look good.

I said promoting Lorenzo to defensive coordinator was a mistake when it happened, but the real result would be seen when he was playing folks he recruited. He is out of his league, does not seem to create a pre-game defensive scheme nor adjust during the game. Fire him now-avoid the Christmas rush!
