I’m grateful to Graham Coffey for a thing or two, one of which is being the source for discovering the treasure that is Jeff Benedict, who posts at the Clemson FanSided site, Rubbing The Rock. I think I linked to this post from a couple of months ago for a quick chuckle. Now, Graham has pointed out Benedict’s latest work, a detailed study entitled, “Clemson football: UGA Spring game shows Tigers are further ahead“. Dude brings the smack:
With four and a half months left before kickoff, we all will have to pace ourselves as we look to compare and precisely predict how this game turns out but one thing was clear after watching both teams spring scrimmages – Clemson football is far better than UGA at this point and the score will reflect that UGA is once again nothing more than pretenders instead of contenders.
I was worried how I might fill the gap this summer with the likelihood of a dwindling number of Your Daily Gator posts, but it looks like Jeff is volunteering to step up and help. Enjoy.

If one believes they are better cause they ride around in circles on a john deere tractor without a license/library card, good for you, should you feel like you are better when the grass gets cut and it grows back day after day, well good for you and if you feel good about the streaming haired qb that left klempson with his 10000 yards and 90ish T.D.s, plus that other badass taking his 5000ish rushing yards and 70 T.D.s to the next level….well feel good about that also, feels like a ton of acreage to replace, your taters may vary….

How did you not quote this gem?
“The Tigers are deeper and more talented at receiver, tight-end running back, linebacker, and special teams; they also have a better coaching staff.”
He actually typed Clemson is deeper and more talented at RB.

I grew up across the Savannah River from those taters in the 60’s and 70’s. Lot of sidewalk Clemson fans painting tiger paws on everything in that obnoxious urnge color they wear to the game on Saturdays, hunting on Sundays and picking up trash during the week. The Clemson grads I know are a bit more reserved from the sidewalk crowd as they’ve been humbled and know their place. That’s the difference in taters and gators. All the gators I know are trash, degree or not. Hell, they even look alike. Faded purple and blue are remarkably similar colors, especially when stained with piss and puke. With that obnoxious orange and the same Sunday-morning-Bourbon-Street odor even the visually impaired can hate ’em.

That’s the thing that makes hot takes from these G day type games dumb. Can’t take it as a “oh man, we’re awesome”. Admittedly, I have no idea who this tater is, but come on. Think of the ACC and Dabo – their spring game is probably all fireworks to get everybody fired up with some personnel groupings on the side. I am comfortable saying that Kirby and staff put a lot of work into who matches up against who in every position and will analyze all of the data they could possibly milk from it.

I mean, they’ve won two National Titles in the last five years. They’ve won three national titles since our last. At this point, they can say whatever they want. Obviously, their shitty conference isn’t a deterrence to them winning it all.
