Gurley? Nope. He played as well.

Wooten and Bennett? No. They played as well.

I'm curious as to who these "playmakers" are?

No Marshall. No Mitchell. No Scott-Wesley. No Hicks.

I just think it's funny that if an ACC team does something bad once or twice, it's a pattern showing how terrible they are. But if a SEC team does it in their last 3 games, it's proof that they are good and can overcome adversity.

The last time a TRUE ACC member won the National Championship was in 1999.


And no you can't count Miami in 2001. They were still a member of the Big East.

Apparently it isn't just me that does not respect the ACC because they haven't earned it.

Put simply..... Watching FSU run up the score on teams like Wake Forest and the like is as compelling as watching the Food Network.

I know we just "moved up" to the AAC, but I hope a major conference like the Big 12 or ACC comes calling. I think we could hang with a bunch of those schools.

Well, if the SEC expands again like the rumors are saying, I would be all for you guys joining.

You're competitive, fairly good TV market, plus it gives us another footprint in Florida. I remember the Culpepper days when you all first joined Div. I.

I would also consider adding East Carolina or someone like NC State. Both of them like you guys, are football schools that have a somewhat loyal following.

So do we have to guess who your team is? You have to be a USCjr fan right?

Wait.... NC State is good enough for the SEC? When was the last time NC State was even close to competing in the terrible ACC?

But I like how you want to use history to state why this year's FSU team won't beat Auburn. You realize history is meaningless during a game, right?

Yeah, I starting to get the feeling we are being Trolled to the max.

They're not a good team by any means, but they could be. They remind me a lot of South Carolina prior to joining the SEC. To be honest, they've been more competitive than your precious Georgia Tech over the last couple of years.

2010
Georgia Tech: 6-7-0
NC State: 9-4-0

2011
Georgia Tech: 8-5-0
NC State: 8-5-0

2012
Georgia Tech: 7-7-0
NC State: 7-6-0

2013
Georgia Tech: 7-5-0
NC State: 3-9-0

Plus, NCSU has gotten those signature wins against FSU, GT, UNC and Clemson.


NCSU may be a little weak competition wise, but they do have the lucrative TV market (Raleigh-Durham) and it would give the SEC a footprint in North Carolina.

NCSU overall isn't that bad per say though. I mean, they did beat FSU last year and in 2010. Could they be a better team eventually? Sure. I believe that you emulate those you surround yourself with.

For a while, there were rumors that the SEC had approached Virginia Tech and NC State about possibly joining. There was even a buzz about the SEC paying half of their ACC buy-out clauses to entice them to join. I don't know whatever happened with that and I don't think we will ever know exactly.

I love how people refer to South Carolina as USCJr. People tend to ignore that South Carolina (The USC) was founded in 1801.

California was granted statehood in 1850 and the University of So. Cal wasn't founded until 1880.

That means that the University of South Carolina was founded 49 years PRIOR to California even becoming a state and 79 years before SC was even thought of.

I guess emulating explains why the Mississippi and Tennessee teams are so good in the SEC.

Some teams have to be at the bottom. There will never be a conference where all teams from first to last are extremely good teams.

Has USCjr ever won a SEC championship?

Not in football. We only have a divisional championship.

Every other sport, we have either a conference title or a national title.

[Terjyn]

So, in spite of the fact that the SEC in the BCS era has never had less than 2 bowl losses in a season (and even those years are rare), and in spite of the fact that the SEC isn't as dominant this year as they've been in the past, THIS is the year where they only lose 1 game.

History can generally tell whatever story you want it to.

Haha, Steve Spurrier is the biggest Troll on the planet. The Capital One Bowl twitter Feed quoted him as saying

"Somebody told me the Gators are staying home for the holidays, maybe we can get a bunch of Gators to come to our game."

Not as classic as " You can't spell citrus without UT", but still...

HAHA! That is a good one.


His best by far was when a fire broke out at Auburn's library and around 20 books were burned....

there are those that will pull for auburn because they are from this state or because they are in the sec.

i'll be pulling for FSU all the way. yeah i'd like to see the crystal football stay in this state for a 5th straight year and for the sec to win it for the 8th straight year. but not if that means that auburn will be getting it.

plus Jameis Winston is from my hometown so i'm pulling for him, too.
