    Highstick cultivated the Reaper last year.

    I have a Korean that tops out at 300k Scovilles, called Candle Flame.

    My yield on the reapers was pretty bad last year. Don’t know if it was a lack of sun or lack of water. I’m going to try again this year in a different location.

    I made up a batch of vinegar sauce for Q and put one of them in the jug to ferment. If you mess with those things, wear rubber gloves and also remove the gloves before taking a leak!

    I can guarantee you that I’d have given Bill on the Beach two techs and an ejection for making me get up on a Saturday morning for an intramural game…Art Hoch’s team(which included me) would have laughed at you for even thinking you’d play on a Saturday morning…Even the fratty baggers didn’t try that crap with us back in the mid 60’s…

    Showing up drunk with a hangover was “prima facie”evidence of being a prima donna!

    I don’t know what it is, but it doesn’t appear to be the game that Andy Griffith was watching anymore.

    If the refs would call holding, the game would change again.

    I will be watching Gavin very closely the rest of the season…Cheap tickets at Winthrop and only 5 minutes away. I miss Greg Marshal.

    Proof that the new format is a joke…Seriously, Clempson #1? Based on what?? Orange uniforms and hype?

    Been there, done that, Bill..I went 4 years with the non dominant eye fixed and it drove me bonkers…When I got the dominant eye fixed, it was totally different…

    Should have never trusted a UnC grad to know his “right from his left” in the first surgery…I think he did it intentionally though. He and I were talking and he said he graduated from UnC in 74 and I probably made the mistake of saying “Oh, you know what it’s like to get your butt beat on a regular basis by NC State”!

    He did not do my second surgery…I had to have Lasik on the first to even make it work.

    Uh…until you play them head to head…and do any of you actually see how screwed up this playoff system is? You “axed for it”, not you got it, but can any of you figure out what it means other than some idiot really thinks Clempson is an NC contender..OMG! It’s over folks, it’s over!

    Most of the SEC could still wipe any of your favorites on a “head to head” match up 8 times out of 10..You guys just think this is another episode of “Survivor”…Nice to sit on your recliners and pontificate with arrogance!

    Agreed, Adventuroo…It is so funny watching the “pots who have been in office in NC for years screwing things up calling the “kettles crooks”…Fact is, show me an NC politician that isn’t a crook…I think it’s “inbred” or maybe it’s the BBQ sauce!

    But, Bill, did you wear “8” like me? First day, 1965, hell, I was a soph at State and on my way to the Army to “catch” some more!

    Good dog. Channeling dog.

    Despite the guy up there, what…mac and cheese?

    Ready for football, so he can troll the first questionable playcall…

    UNx are gonna get a new age wallop. Across the board.

    Sad says he?

    At least you and I are on the same page about “the whomp up the side of the head”!

    I think ryebread has hit several excellent points.

    The decline of rival games against teams that nobody gives a damn about seeing is a big reason that not only students but donors have been driven away. I’ll ask again- why is it that we have to play the likes of Boston College and Syracuse EVERY season, and get to play Duke, Ga. Tech, Va. Tech, UVA and Miami at home only once every DECADE?

    Look at this season’s schedule- only 6 home games and FOUR games vs non-power conference schools. The biggest head-scratcher to me is playing Old Dominion and South Alabama on the road, in successive games no less. What in hell do we hope to accomplish from this? Lose ONE of those games, and State football will likely be back to square one.

    The 4-hour games, some even longer, usually require students to sit in the sun during the hottest time of the day. With shorter attention spans than the seasoned fans, who usually get the shaded seating, it’s no wonder that more students are saying “no thanks” to being baked all afternoon while pretending that they actually care about their team beating up on some faraway small school that many have never heard of.

    You’re right…I never understood why South Carolina would bother scheduling NC State, North Carolina and Clempson as out of conference games…assuming those teams are part of those 1/3 of the games you mention. Actually I’ll give Spurrier credit, he’s locked into Clempson as a permanent in state rival for obvious reasons, brings in a second in state school to give them a big revenue source, and is limited in other non conference rivals since the SEC brought in Missouri and the AgHeads! I’ll agree on State’s scheduling, but that’s because that goes to the Conference Commish and AD’s..I’d be pissed too, but I don’t buy season tickets at State.

    And Dude, you hit the nail on the head about students sitting in the sun sweating.. Poor things, go back to the dorm and study…you might have a heat stroke.

    So is the gripe still that we’re not building an on campus facility? If so, how many times does it have to be explained to you? Hell, let’s just start flying a Confederate Flag on top so we know where everyone stands???

    I guess you could build another parking deck on the site??

    Took down one flag and put up 5,000 more! We’re still trying to figure out how this is going to affect recruiting at the University of South Carolina.

    they may beat an SEC occasionally, but they couldn’t handle an SEC schedule.

    Occasionally? They have done better than any league member against that conference.

    2014 – Clemson 35, USC 17
    2013 – Clemson 38, UGA 35
    2012 – Clemson 26, Auburn 19
    2012 – Clemson 25, LSU 24
    2011 – Clemson 38, Auburn 24

    What don’t you understand about occasionally? Once a year or in the rare occurrence of 2012 when the Gamecocks destroyed them, they beat two weak SEC teams. One game does not make a steady dose of SEC fooseball.! Notice you left out the losses to the Gamecocks in 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009. I guess those don’t count, huh?

    I honestly didn’t pay too much attention until this afternoon, but poa is rampant and the greens look horrible(no grass). I didn’t get south of Seattle when I was out there a couple of years ago, but is it really that dry there? It’s only 33 miles south of the airport and I wouldn’t have thought it would change that drastically in that short of a distance. I understand “east of the Cascades” cause you get into the desert over there after coming out of the mountains.

    I don’t mind toughening up a golf course, but when you hit a good shot and won’t hold…something’s amiss!

    Clempson is not an SEC team…they may beat an SEC occasionally, but they couldn’t handle an SEC schedule. You guys give their players and coaching staff way too much credit for something that is not there except “hype” every year. I asked a Clempson fan friend of mine a couple of days ago “looks like you’ve got the National Championship wrapped up again. He said “that’s right, including the Heisman, the Outland, and the Presidential Nomination”!

    Guess he should have served in the military and not gotten out to start my education again until almost 25. I understand I may have lost 4 years in my career because of Vietnam, but probably gained 8 years in experience and maturity.

    Now I can definitely understand “tired of being young and broke” though.

    Too big to fail was a term they learned from someone else. Holes are creative enough to coin such a term on their own..
