Clemson to buyout El Cid to play Bama

[BULLDOG8180]

I understand that Clemson will buyout The Citadel for 250K to play Alabama in 08.

[gr8ness97]

guess they wanted no part of what THE Citadel did to the Badgers in the first half of that game

[KiddBrewer]

not a bad deal if you ask me.

[Pageoner]

or maybe saban wants a greater SOS

[mountaineertider]

I took it as Clemson bought out The Citadel, not Bama

[chattanoogamocs]

From another post I read on here or maybe of the Lords of Discipline website, supposedly ESPN wants to put on a game in the Georgia Dome between Clemson and Bama...each school is getting a guarantee of about $2mil.

Just makes financial sense for Clemson to buyout the Citadel for $250K when they can net $1.75mil

Since The Citadel is playing Florida in 2008 it is a very very good thing all around. Citadel got the money and now hopefully they can schedule a competitive FCS gamexthumbsupx No need for two FBS games except for the money. Now they can have the money and play a difference opponent.

Don't bank on it. Les Robinson will try to get another ass kicking for us from another FBS team. Apparently, winnable D-I games are not as important as unwinnable money games.

I really wish it was Florida that was buying out our game, since I would love to have played a Tommy Bowden - coached Clempson.

Let's hope not. Take the money and run and schedule for the playoffsxthumbsupx

That's absolutely right. Cash the check, and schedule a quality I-AA OOC opponent. At playoff selection time, 1 I-A loss won't hurt you, 2 might keep you out.

I've heard rumors of this, but has it been confirmed yet?

[citdog]

The Cow College, only have two majors over there...milkin and plowin, didn't want any part of the superior breed of man known as The Citadel Man.


Les get us a D-I team like Presby or VMI to replace Clempson

corrected. this is your first and last warningxrulesx

Bama lost to UL-Monroe this year, why do they think they can handle Clemson better? If they lost one more game, they would have been 5-7 and they wouldn't be playing in the huge spectacle that is the Independence Bowl.

By the way, isn't The Citadel playing another FBS team next year?

[walliver]

Please pick PC or VMI over Webber International.

Or you could play Davidson (it would still be a D-1 win):D

I'd like to play Davidsonxrolleyesx Payback for all the basketball lossesxrolleyesx xrolleyesx xrolleyesx xmadx

Yeah, The Citadel played a good game against my Badgers this season, I still respect them so much after that too.

I think Bowden doesn't want to risk going through what Carr and the Wolverines had to go through after losing to Appalachian State. xlolx

[catdaddy2402]

Rumor I heard was UCF was the game to be dropped. Since opening their new stadium UCF wants as many home games as possible.

[Appdad]

FCS equals cheap insurance for FBS games.The guarantee and buyouts are smaller than out of conference FBS games. FCS is a booty call for the FBS. There if needed and easily dumped when something better, like an ESPN game, comes along!Get used to it!

[08Dawg]

I'm all for it. The prospect of a near-guaranteed 0-2 on the schedule just somehow does not appeal to me, even if we are getting beaucoup cash for it. I'd much rather drop Webber all together and play a couple of competitive FCS games instead of a DII assured win and a FBS assured butt-kicking.

The DII games aren't fun usually because they are blowouts and they don't count towards the playoffs. If you lost two FBS games and played a DII game, that means you must go 7-1 in your FCS games to be considered for the playoffs.
