Can we do an SEC style chant?

BIG 12 BIG 12 BIG 12….


I was actually thinking about this also….Not the easiest thing to create a chant…

Here is my thought….

1-2 1-2 1-2 1-2 1-2 1-2 (and on and on)

I was thinking about saying these numbers individually and forcefully like a drill Sgt is yelling in cadence

As long as its done with SEC speed I’m not sure it matters what is chanted.  I might actually have some conference pride though if we left the ACC.

I got one: F-S-U, F-S-U, F-S-U, Clemson fans can chant it too.

Clemson and/or FSU may be shopping or playing to leave the ACC, but I am starting to get the feeling that this is a big bunch of nothing….

What is the one thing that has occurred during these rumors?.......It has taken the typical college football fan from around the nation during an extremely light period and have had these same fans glued to TV, radios shows, college fan websites and the purchasing of sports magazines to be part of the process!...And that is how we are being played!  The Expansion talk is great media and to a degree I think we are being played. Look how much time we have spent here just on this subject!  Southern Pigskin alone has greatly benefited from this with the spike in new members and increase of activity on their site…...Now SPS deserves the increase in people because they run a great website and take outstanding care of their members when issues come up so in the case of this one website, it is a win-win for both the fans and the SPS team…..but jackals like ESPN also profit from this and that is the last thing they need.

I just don’t see how Clemson and FSU can both get enough help from the Big 12 Members to assist with 40 million dollars of buyout money to the ACC…FSU is flat broke and I don’t think Clemson is in a hurry to come up with that kinda of loot with the money that they are throwing to coaches and facility…Also, the more I keep reading all this TV money stuff, I am just not as convinced the net financial gain is there.

The Big 12 would be great to have Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and WVU on the schedule, but I am having an increasingly hard time seeing that occur….

I think the most like think will be for the ACC to try to win the Notre Dame Sweepstakes and try to reel in one more school like a Louisville and have a 16 team “mega conference”...This makes the most sense even if it is not what the fan bases from both schools want to see happen.

Amen…glad you are coming around.

Funny that Clem and Sem can’t realize it. But it is a done deal…right. And Notre Dame is going to the Big 12.

Beano Cook said recently on the ESPNU podcast that it might make sense for FSU to go (which I am starting to believe since they have backed themselves into a corner), but for Clemson it would be the worst mistake since Hitler invaded Russia.

But of course he and everyone who doesnt buy internet nonsense are dumb right Clem? He knows nothing about college football. Anonymous internet posters are the real insiders. All going to plan.

Beano Cook has NO freaking idea what he is talking about.  Not a good idea for Clemson?!?!  If they stay it will be the death of Clemson football as we know it.  He has no freaking idea what he is talking about.  Makes just as much sense for Clemson as it does for FSU…..that old coot needs to hang it up, he’s lost his dang mind.

Hey Beano Cook….

Like I said, if I’m wrong about this then I’ll live with the ridicule….no problem.  I don’t believe I’m wrong and won’t waiver on it.

Of course…the ACC, the death of Clemson football. The school that last finished the season in the Top 15 in 1990 right? Yep, it is the ACC that is killing Clemson football for sure.

I find that national sports networks tend to have crazy people as commentators because all of the sane, informed ones hang out on blogs right?

We are on an upswing just like FSU, who has also been in a slump.  I’m saying if we STAY in the ACC, it will be the death of Clemson football because the ACC will no longer exist or be able to compete on a national stage, my god….....read the writing on the wall for once.

My god…quit trying to make up your own writing on the wall. We get you are a hater. Now just admit you are wrong and move on.

http://www.dailypress.com/sports/teel-blog/dp-teel-time-acc-playoff-access,0,7793469.story

“Those who say ACC teams couldn’t crack a top-four playoff field haven’t paid attention or have selective memory. Just last season Florida State, Virginia Tech and Clemson were among the Associated Press’ top six at various stages before fading. The Seminoles were No. 6 in preseason; the Hokies were No. 5 in the Bowl Championship Series standings entering the ACC title game, despite one loss and a soft non-conference schedule; at 8-0 and No. 5 in the polls, the Tigers were perfectly positioned for a national-title run.

Moreover, Virginia Tech’s two-loss 2007 squad finished third in the BCS standings. That same season, Boston College and Matt Ryan rose to No. 2 in the polls.

So the notion that ACC membership would impede a team’s playoff path doesn’t wash.”

I won’t admit I’m wrong until the Aug 15th deadline goes by and neither FSU or Clemson have left the ACC.  Only then….which won’t even happen.
