I’m hoping that Colt’s merely “excellent” season will be offset by Charles’ rebound season.

Hopefully the dubious OL will allow this to happen…

If the new AD comes from in-house, 8 USC included wins will probably keep Tommy for one more year. 8 wins, without USC, or less, regardless of USC, and Tommy is gone. 9 wins, with a USC loss, is iffy, at best.

8 wins, without USC, or less, regardless of USC, and Tommy is gone.

9 wins, with a USC loss, is iffy, at best.

Hi there, little fella. Now run along. This here is football talk, and Butch Davis or not, you just don't belong. See you in a few weeks though.

The buyout saved his butt last season, but the IPTAY disgust to buyout$ ratio may be high enough this year to force the issue that so many orange overall clad folks wanted last year.

If Tommy drops a couple to the Maryland or Wakes of the ACC (don't care about their recent success. We should never lose to Wake), then he may be in trouble. Every year Tommy loses one or two he has no business losing, combine that with two in a row to Carolina that may be a fatal combination. Mike–Two in a row to Carolina by itself won’t be enough.

You can tell when it shifts from regular Carolina visitors to those attracted by the rivalry. The early posts reveal our almost Sally Fields-like response to any prediction like Orson's- "You like us, you <i>really</i> like us!" Then in the last 20 posts or so, it turns into 'I bet everyone else in the country wants to read an ongoing exchange with someone that will never agree with me no matter what I say.' Spurrier pwns Tommy!!! Clemson is teh suxorz! Sorry. It's my nature, Mister Frog. #87 had this South Carolina fan laughing aloud.

The real struggle for the OBC is not the schedule, but beating back 100 years of losing karma. Really, the only tradition at Carolina is finding a way to lose. Here's how it will play out: Tommy will roll into Columbia on a 2-3 game losing streak with his job on the line and the Tigers will grind out the victory when Blake Mitchell fumbles the snap with 5 seconds left and we run it back for a game-winning TD. Thus ensuring Clemson another year of mediocrity and ruining Carolina's season. Gamecock fans, you know this will happen.
