Message: [QUOTE="SCGamecock, post: 2555301, member: 6132"] Sigh. It’s exhausting how sometimes you can’t have a debate here without receiving some kind of negative trait inferred about you from people that don’t even know you. All just because of your fan affiliation. Did I make assumptions about Husky fans in my response to you? You obviously know enough about SC for me to not have to explain the history of Gamecock football to you and why there are no SEC titles/National titles. So I won’t. Not only is it mediocre but why would I explain it here, on a WBB forum. I’m here to talk WBB. And.. I really hate bringing Clemson into a conversation involving SC, but since you did.. Clemson only RECENTLY became a national recruiter. They became who they are when most of their best players were from Florida/Georgia.. you do not have to leave the South to field a nationally competitive team in football, you don’t. Now, if you can, you may choose to supplement holes in your roster, or elevate spots, with good players from elsewhere (because you can, and Clemson can) but you don’t HAVE to. And Baseball, even if it’s not the best program in SC (as you say).. it still doesn’t defeat my point that SC won two back to back titles (and played for a third the following year) mostly with players from SC/Georgia/Florida.. and a few East Coast kids. SC has also played for 3 other titles in years prior, with most of their roster comprised of South Carolininians. SC not being the best program in its own state (again, according to you) is a non-factor. SC, as a state, has 3-4 baseball programs in a state of barely 5 million people that I could pick up, place in another state, and it would be the best program in that state. That’s how good the baseball programs are here. Lastly, I don’t care how long you’ve lived in SC. Just because of my fan affiliation, don’t assume you know anything about me. Because you don’t. I don’t care how worldly you are.. you don’t know me. If you’d like to continue debating viewpoints without getting nasty, sure, go right ahead... but if you’d like to make this just another boneyard spat then miss me with it. Let’s not waste one another’s time with something so trivial. [/QUOTE]
