In other words, they were good before there was racial integration in the SEC and the fall of Jim Crow meant the fall of Ole Miss. Ole Miss was the last SEC team to have a black player, Ben Williams 1972. (fwiw, Tennessee was the 2nd to have one, Lester McClain 1968). The timing of their collapse with the advances made in Civil Rights is not a coincidence. Thankfully, racial segregation is now as archaic as an Ole Miss SEC title. A relic of the past never to be revisited again.

Correct, and only during the career of Johnny Vaught. The stigma associated with Ole Miss would not wash off for a very long time. Here is an article that chronicles the order in which blacks were integrated within each school in the SEC: The Integration of Football in the Southeastern Conference - Team Speed Kills.

Actually Terry Minor and James Cofer signed with Clemson and were paid by Knoxville insurance agent and Clemson booster Tom Breazeale. After signing they decided they wanted to play for Tennessee but it was to late and neither ever played for Tennessee or any D-1 school. Cofer and his son were arrested for selling cocaine outside Neyland stadium a few years ago. Minor played at Carson Newman and is a pastor in Knoxville.

I remember that. There was a Knoxville lawyer and UT booster (Mark Hancock) that filed a lawsuit against Clemson on their behalf for some outrageous amount of money. It was dismissed but the cooperation of Cofer and Minor was an integral part of the NCAA investigation that put Clemson on probation in 1982. At the end of the Pell and beginning of the Ford years, Clemson was pretty rotten. That '81 championship was bought.

We're gonna need this guy after Kamara prob. goes pro after next year. I continue to be so impressed with Butch, money stuff is bs.

Next year as in 2015 or 2016? Kamara has never played a down of major college football and running back isn't a high priority with most NFL teams lately. Let's see how he does first.

Years later while coaching at Arkansas scumbag Danny Ford was over heard on TV saying "I hope they (Heath Shuler) tears a knee up right here" because he couldn't handle the beat down the Vols were giving him.

This, this, this. I am so sick of seeing our fans just anoint unproven players to the NFL draft just because.

Kamara has done nothing, absolutely nothing, to this point to warrant this type of talk. It is expectations like these that lead to people being disappointed when he doesn't come out and rush for 175 yds and 3 TDs in game 1.

Not picking on the poster who said it here specifically either. This kind of talk has been rampant for years now. I still remember when Brent Brewer was going to be a 1st rounder...lolol.

Ha! Ha! I remember that too and even though it was caught on video, Ford tried to claim later that he had said, "I hope they take a knee right here."... Danny showed his true colors at Arkansas where he was under a microscope and forced to play by the rules.

After reading some of the stupidity/childishness/denial on the Clemson boards, I hope we pull this off so bad. Not just for us, but to see the hurt and disappointment on their faces when a "second tier" school steals a kid that they have been recruiting for 4 years. Clemson acting like they have the moral high ground to call any school cheaters is the biggest ****ing joke I've seen in a while.

People do not realize that there was one common factor among all of Bear Bryant's proteges, Cheating.

The only exception was Bill Battle who did not want to play the dirty recruiting game and it eventually cost him his job.

I don't usually take bait, but what world do you live in where Clemson has ever been overshadowed by USCjr?

Yeah. I have to agree here. Clemson does have a national title and has at least one conference title off the top of my head. South Carolina was largely irrelevant till Spurrier got there. They have no National Titles nor SEC championships. They have had a good couple of years and that's about it.

Meet a judge in FL a few months ago who was a FSU grad. The man could not have cared less about the SEC, but saw me wearing a Vols hat. Started talking to him about football, and we ended up on the topic of Ole Miss. His thoughts were; how is Ole Miss recruiting like they are? They have to be cheating... It's not just a SEC thing. People notice when teams with zero tradition start rolling in 5 star recruits. Freeze is a great coach, but Ole Miss, outside the campus life and girls, doesn't have tons going for it when it comes to football tradition. It's 110% possible to start something out of nothing, but when it happens people are going to question the success. That's just how life goes.

I dunno... I dated one of those Hotty Toddy girls a couple years. I get it.

Not the only (or certainty best) reason to go somewhere, but... I get it.

Not going to lie, that was pretty brutal trying to go through the last few pages.

The only thing worse than reading Tigernet, is having the very worst posts on tigernet posted on a rivals site and having them post equally stupid stuff in response.

I'm convinced you can find whatever you are looking for online. If you're looking for ridiculous posts to try and portray a whole fanbase, it's not going to be very hard (especially here in the south).

I can assure you the conversation is much different on the board I frequent. IMO, it's simply a matter of what you choose to hear.

Well, I only go to the Rivals paysite. It's the best in the business, IMO. To weed out all the bs and get great info for only like $10 a month is very well work it.

I get that isn't going to be an option for you guys. Probably the Clemsoninsider is a better option. I'll preface that with the main guy "Robert" is notoriously wrong on recruiting predictions (obviously leaning towards the homer side), so take him with a grain of salt.

Shakingthesouthland was really good, but they got rid of the crew from last year. Not sure how it is now, but it's really not a forum based site anyways, although the comment section of articles use to get into the 1000s.

Here's all I could find in a 60 second search on Clemsoninsider, but there's probably more....

So football started 6 years ago? Good to know. You guys got a nice little back and forth rivalry going with Vandy then.

Also, let's go back and edit the past 10 pages about how much better of a program Tenn is than Clemson, b/c that's certainly not been the case the past 6 years.

See how that works when you try to distort facts by putting them in a vacuum?
