Living in the upstate is brutal...

  • WYFF is doing what seems like an all day special "Clemson: Return to the Orange Bowl". The same channel that has mentioned our win maybe once. They act like they are going back to the National Championship this year.

    They're playing an irrelevant team, in an irrelevant bowl, in an irrelevant system... WHO CARES!!

    I love how Clemson fans talk about their return to their illustrious past when the only past they have lasted about 10 years (of their 100+ year history) and they cheated the entire 10 years. I realize they have more of a past than we do but it doesn't give them the right to be considered as one of the "traditional powers", like they belong there.

    I know I'm preaching to the choir but sometimes I just can't take it.

  • I thought things would have changed at WYFF with the new GM being a USC alum. I guess not.

    And a former football player at USC. I know him and trust me, he's holding his nose. It is a Clemson market and it is a business.

    I sent him a text at 7pm and told him he'd lost me as a viewer, for 1 hour!

    Hang in there Brother, 3 in a row, win over the ACC chumps this year and they suck.
    Do you think they would trade coaches with us right now?
    I remember one of my best friends calling up and telling me Spurrier had bought lake property on Lake Hartwell and was a lock to be their next coach, he was so giddy, like a virgin who became a non-virgin.
    He used to call me after every USc-Klempsn game, and we would exchange congratulations.
    This is the first year he said nothing about our game, felt sorry for him, did not have the heart to put the dagger to my friend. Just like my obnoxious Klemson sister in law, I think saying nothing killeds them more than rubbing it in. They are waiting on the jab and they don't kno it is not coming. Class vs. Class less.
    34-13, love it

    I've talked with him several times and I like him.

    Here's the problem, it's also a big Carolina market and everytime WYFF and The Greenville News kiss up to the Tigers they alienate more and more Gamecocks. They are the 2 biggest institutions in this state and the coverage should be 50-50.

  • Remember in "The Shrinkage" episode on Seinfeld, when Elaine tells George and Jerry "I don't know how you guys walk around with those things?"

    I have kind of the same feeling for you poor souls that live within smelling distance of Pickens County. "I don't see how you do it!"

    There is some beautiful area up there. though, so I guess it does have that going for it. It's almost unbearable at times with the taters in this area, much less having them all concentrated up there. Glad to know there are many Gamecocks there to support one another and bring some class to it all.

    I promise you WIS is not running a special on Orange Bowl Memories for Clemson

    I also believe if there were enough interest by upstate USC supporters i.e. $, I have no doubt that WYFF would air it.

    Did WIS have a bowl special for USC? If WIS had one for both schools I would have no problem with it. Every major media outlet in this state should cover both schools equal.

    That's the problem with today's media, they pick sides and then manage to piss a lot of folks off in the process.

    I don't know but the same rule would apply. Stations are in business to make money. If enough Clemson supporters wanted to underwrite the costs, WIS would air it, too. I wouldn't watch it, but the notion wouldn't bother me.

  • There's enough USC business owners in the Upstate market for WYFF to have run a USC special. They would have gotten the sponsorship had they sought it out.

    You could do us all a favor here in the upstate and ask him to dig a BIG HOLE on the property of WYFF and bury Carol Goldsmith in it....She is absolutely AWFUL.....

  • That stuff used to bother me back when they used to beat us. Now, I just laugh at them.

  • Y'all keep mentioning this word "clemson."
    I have no idea what y'all are talking about. That's not in my personal dictionary. Maybe it is listed under pest, or fly, or mosquito or something...I'll go look.

    Right on, Bunz ! We just let them keep hangin' themselves. The level of desperation over there for some
    good news/airtime is proof positive of how badly they have performed, when taking their last-place conference,
    and our last three years of dominance over them in baseball, basketball, and football. They are hurtin' kitties.

    Just remember that every CU punk is watchin' that stuff, droolin' for anything that has orange & purple
    on it...they are pititfully in need of pats on the head...even if they're all hype..

  • their aversion to our big time win tells you all you need to know

    if we had laid an egg, you think the little pinheads would have ignored that?

    three years in a row has made them awfully pissy. i laugh at them.

    notice, now that their former good hoops coach left, now they aint even got hoops to talk about

    then you get to college baseball and lordy have mercy what them taters gonna say?

    It is defined as a large steaming pile of dung to be ignored and one should be happy not be near it's stench.

    Ahhh....yes, you're right. When I turned to dung in my personal dictionary, there it was Dung: clemson...to be ignored and one should be happy not to be near it's stench. Avoid especially while steaming as the toxic fumes may be dangerous to your health.
