Bama fan here, but everyone else in the SEC is my second favorite as long as we aren't playing at the time. I'm a HUGE conference fan, and basically have 3 favorite teams:

Alabama

Everyone else in the SEC

Gator and canes, should be a good game, but i think gators will prevail:thumbsup1:

[89LXCOUPE]

Been a long time since the gators beat the canes but it might happen this year.

The Gators have lost a lot of players for the year already.:yes1: What is it, 5 torn ACL's already?

Miami is supposedly doing a little better than originally forecast on the rebuilding schedule, but I still gotta figure a victory for the Gators even with the mentioned attrition...

I really like what I'm seeing out of Carolina with Coach Spurrier at the helm !

I don't expect Miami to go any where this year. But when you get the FL schools playing each other, you get some good games. Since most of the players, either played together or against each other in high school.

[Blacksheep]

steve spurrier is over rated, every gamecock fan out there thought he was gonna be the answer to there prayers...... well he aint, he needs to retire, his best days as a coach are left at UF. This is goin his 4th? season at USC and what has he done?? NOTHING... he won the National Title with Gators his secound year as coach..... No offence to the USC fans, but there is just not that kind of tallent in SC or any body commin to SC. At least not like he had when he was a UF, why are all of these "hot shots" out of high school gonna go and play for a team that has been known to be "sorry" when he could get the same full ride at UF, GA, Caines etc..... but thats just my .02, and again no offense to the USC fans. and suprrier is not the only coach i fell that way towards, i am a clemson fan also, but they need to get rid of bowden... like 4 years ago.... the only thing he has goin for him is a really hot doughter. and fsu usta be a decent team, but that bowden is long over due for retirement....

[Notch93]

he won the National Title with Gators his secound year as coach.....

6 years.:yes1:

my bad, sec title his 1st and 2nd year, and 6th year was the National title. your rite

Thats true, there are many times that we get to enjoy a better game than expected because of the roots from H/S that effect certain match ups in the games between Florida teams...

[Wayne's 88 GT]

Since I lived in South Florida for over 20 yrs I grew up being a Gator Fan, but not a Spurrier fan. Since we moved to the Upstate I am a Clemson fan, but still will watch UF and root for them, but if they happen to play Clemson, I'll be rooting for the Tigers!

[SVTSkip]

Half my family are Clemson grads, so you know they're gonna give me a ton of it if the expected happens at the season opener in Atlanta...

[Blacksheep]

Clemson and Gators almost played in a bowl game 3 years ago.... In that event i would hafta pull for the gators... but i am a clemson fan also. but you gatta admit, Gators would KILL clemson. im sry, but clemson rite now, aint lookin to good..... :(

Aint looking good ?!?! Thats pretty harsh for a team that returns an above average number of starters, has the best backfield 1-2 punch in the nation most likely, and will be starting the season ranked inside the top 10. What will they actually have to do to impress ya ? :) I know that they're a bit suspect on the O line, but so far thats the onl;y real kink in the armor that I can see...

your rite, they got all that tallent every year, but yet they never go any were with it... but thats just my .02

[SVTSkip]

They got shafted last year due to the weight of the SEC championship pushing LSU past them in the polls. If you remember just prior to that week they were #4, and #2, and #3 lost, so it would've stood to reason that they'd play in the championship, but they got jumped instead. They of course wound up dismantling an unbeaten and offensively powerful Hawaii in the bowl game which was just what I wanted to see ! :lol1:

[Blacksheep]

that may be true, but do you think clemson would put up a fight against the gators? honestly? i have mixed feelings about it. i really do, clemson can beat FSU, but yet, FSU aint exactly the team they usta be. they might put up a "fight" against the gators, but in the end. they gators would take it by 20+

Not sure on that one this year. You're absolutely right on the FSU angle, but I think ( at least on paper ) that Clemson is looking REALLY good this year with likely the best chance they've had in decades to hold the ACC and even maybe a shot at the championship although that would be a stretch. Florida looks better on paper, but with the early attrition they've already suffered I'd be willing to bet that a UF/Clemson matchup would be pretty good, and if both teams were on the ball/having a decent day I wouldn't predict a blowout either way, but rather a tight contest. Of course then again with "Superman" at the helm they could maybe put 50 on 'em LOL !

i see your point, and that is one game me and a bunch of other people im sure would love to see.... so who knows, maybe by chance that will happen in the years to come!

OK .... I have NO favorites teams... I do not follow any type of ball game... I have virtually no interest in them... but I do have a question concerning the intelligence of the clemson football fan and team..... what possessed them to tear down they're own home field goal posts when they beat Carolina at death vally a year or two ago ... like beating Carolina is a big accomplishment... that's nothing new whooopie ... tear up some one elses play pen.... not your own...... wassup with that ?

That has been going on forever, it's like a tradition. Most stadiums have goal post that they can lower to the ground now. Before people get on the field, many have been hurt from goal post coming down.

Beating instate rivals is a big thing in college football.

yea that was like years ago. like notch said, its rivals. beating USC for clemson is like a mustang beat a import. sure it hapens ( and most of the time its not hard to do) but, when you do, its stil a rush and your still excited. and its not just clemson that does that. ALOT of teams have done like USC usta do it like every time they won a game. but now all of the college goal post come down when the game is over

Here's the point: Why do teams tear down their own goal posts??? I thought you tore down goal posts when you beat your rival at their home field. To tear down your own goal posts is stupid, no matter who does it. And for goodness sake, what possible rush can there be for Clemson to beat Carolina??? It happens so often, at Death Valley and Williams Brice, Clemson fans really ought to be used to it. Carolina's football teams usually stink, so what, what, what, is the big deal??? I know it's a very intense rivalry. I've lived here all my life. But, come on. And as far as comparing Clemson and Carolina to Mustangs and imports, there's no need to be so obnoxious.

Dont be too hard on USC, or Clemson for that matter. Both schools have made great strides with their respective programs, and I think big things are coming for the Gamecocks with Coach Spurrier. I love your comment on the import/obnoxious line BTW, you had me in tears LOL !!! :lol1:

Ya know, i dont mean to sound like a jack ass or anything, but some people just dont understand when it comes to rivals. and the Domestic/imports thing, i was just comparing it to something yall "non-football rival gettin people" may understand!

[Blacksheep]

Clemson is rated in the top 5 in the country for a "drinking college". as of last year! so usc still sucks at football and drinking. :taunt: lol :beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

And yall have read what i think about coach spurrier and his "football program" :thumbsdown2: so for all smelly cock fans.... sry, but he is not the savior yall were hoping for... he is not gonna pull yall out of this "slump" yall are in, and have been in for years.... there is just not that much tallent at usc, sry to say it, but theres not. and none of the "badass" players rite out of HS are gonna wanna go to a "sucky" college when they can get the same "free ride" at a school like Gators, or GA, LSU etc.... were they actually win games against teams who really matter! again no offence thats just my .02, im NOT tryin to piss any body off. thats just the way i feel. and im sure most of you hate the Gators just as much as i hate FSU, and USC. but lets face the facts here, Gators my have crappy season (like all teams will from time to time) and USC may get lucky and beat them every 40 years, but if you think USC is a better team than gators than your crazy:insane: Gators is known for there great teams/seasons year after year, they always rank in the top ten, if not the top 5 **** near every year. and what does USC do???? AGAIN THATS JUST MY .02

O i dont mind that the thread has been hyjacked. lol, i was just curious who would be rootin for the Gators with me this year. i didnt expect a big number. lol

[SVTSkip]

Well arguably Florida was slightly better last year, and USC sure gave them quite a scare. 1 point at Ben Hill Griffin ( The Swamp to those that prefer slang ) if I rmember correctly. Matter of fact were it not for some exceptional Special Teams play by the Gators including a blocked extra point, and I blocked field goal if memory serves, then USC aould've beaten the Gators, and almost did anyway. I have a hard time badmouthing anyone from my own conference, but you're certainly entitled to your opinions, and this is from someone that definitely understands rivalry games as our rivalry game is actually named the "Iron Bowl". I think the Gators will have a good year, and Clemson should as well, but I certainly dont think Carolina will be the sorry team it sounds like in a couple of the posts. Of course thats merely my humble opinion...
