TIGER STANDOUT LISTED AS TENTH BEST PLAYER IN AMERICA

Clemson, SC—Vic Beasley is listed as the 10th best player in the nation, third among defensive players by the Sporting News in its Pre-Spring Practice ranking. The rising senior is one of just three 2013 Consensus All-Americans returning for the 2014 season.

The only defensive players ranked ahead of Beasley by the Sporting News are Leonard Williams of Southern California, and Rand Gregory of Nebraska. He is also third among ACC players, trailing only Jameis Winston and Cameron Erving of Florida State.

Last year Beasley was a consensus All-American and first-team All-ACC defensive end. He had 23 tackles for loss and 13 sacks to help Clemson lead the nation in tackles for loss as a team and rank 13th in sacks per game. His 23 sacks in 13 games ranked second in the nation on a per game basis and his sacks per game figure ranked third best. He was also tied for 10th in the nation in caused fumbles with four.

The native of Adairsville, GA made an incredible improvement last year. As a sophomore in 2012, Beasley played just 288 snaps and did not start a game, but he had eight sacks to lead the Clemson team. Then this year he started every game on Clemson’s 11-2 team that finished the season seventh in the nation.

Winston, Stanford all-purpose player Ty Montgomery, and Beasley are the only three returning consensus All-Americans from last year.

1. Marcus Mariota QB Oregon
2. Jameis Winston QB Florida State
3. Todd Gurley RB Georgia
4. Leonard Williams DL Southern California
5. Randy Gregory DE Nebraska
6. Bryce Petty QB Baylor
7. Brett Hundley QB UCLA
8. Dorial Green-Beckham WR Missouri
9. Cameron Erving OT Florida State
10. Vic Beasley DE Clemson

TBG’s Internet Rule #2 :

Often it is better to not post a comment and be thought of as an idiot; than to post a comment and remove any lingering doubt.

Well, damn, he’ll never comment again if he follows that logic.

TBG never dared to dream that he would see the day when Vienna Sausages came with the BBQ or hot sauce already in the can….so this may NOT be too much to hope for….

Let the Tater-Liberal Circle-Jerk begin. If yall did not have each other to suck off…you’d feel real stupid and lost….as your intellect (or your deficiency of) would render you…

Has anyone else noticed that BigT/GrandTango seems fixated on “circle jerks” and the performance of fellatio?

GrandTango February 23, 2014 at 4:42 pm

Don’t you march in the streets, demanding civil rights based on the fact that men do that to other men…????…so why are trying to insult me, claiming I participate in behavior you exalt?

We wuz so po’ we couldn’t afford Vienna sausage. I had to eat Dubuque Packing Red Sausage. Sometimes I got pickled pigs feet at hog killin’ time.

I think that fella’ GT has a pickled brain. When you start with 75 IQ points and pickle them it don’t leave much to work with.

TontoBubbaGoldstein February 23, 2014 at 9:01 am

“When you start with 75 IQ points”

TBG, respectfully suggests that you are being overly generous, sir.

Are you dumb enough to believe that Vandy, UVA, Stanford, etc. don’t admit cretins who can run a 4.3 or dunk from the foul line? I’m betting you have convinced yourself that Clemtech has lost to Carolina the last five years because it is hog tied(harharhar!) in recruiting by stringent academic regulations.

Dirtpecker forums are in their typical the sky is falling panic because this is going to reduce their overall recruiting class ranking. But it’s no secret that Dirtpecker fans tend to overreact.

I guess that’s to be expected when you recruit borderline retards who aren’t college material and have been pushed through high school through social promotion and because the football coach says so. The world needs ditch diggers too, but at Dirtpecker U. (and other colleges) they rename it Sociology; African American Studies; Sports Management; or Exercise Science majors. How many football players are Accounting; Engineering; Nursing; or Pre-Med/Pre-Law majors? When someone has to ask, “what do you do with a major in ___________?” it’s a worthless degree.

Well, USC’s dogs will be comming for ya, 6 times!!!

Squishy123 February 23, 2014 at 5:39 pm

Am I wrong? You didn’t seem to have anything to say to refute my comment so you must be in agreement with me.

squishy the pussy February 23, 2014 at 5:49 pm

I think everyone is in agreement that you are a pussy.

Squishy123 February 23, 2014 at 8:29 pm

I’m not surprised, idiots tend to travel in packs.

squishy the pussy February 23, 2014 at 10:08 pm

So then where is the rest of your pack pussy?

Squishy123 February 23, 2014 at 10:18 pm

Well, you seem to hang around me a lot lately…

squishy the pussy February 23, 2014 at 10:28 pm

whatever little pussy

Squishy123 February 24, 2014 at 11:30 am

Good comeback, I realize that with that little pea-sized brain you’re learning ability stopped around the time you were 14… “whatever”.

Can’t wait to see what my little buddy has to say next? He must idolize me the way he’s always there wanting me to acknowledge his responses.

squishy the pussy February 24, 2014 at 12:21 pm

“he’s always there wanting me to acknowledge his responses.” I have never asked you to acknowledge anything.

“Can’t wait to see what my little buddy has to say next” Who the fuck else are trying to talk to? Why are you thinking anyone is reading what you say? Other than me calling you out for being the pussy you are, it seems no one else is even talking to you or reading your BS. Wow, you aren’t just a pussy, you are a stupid pussy. Thanks for the joke you little pussy.

Squishy123 February 24, 2014 at 1:54 pm

Better a pussy than a Dirtpecker.

squishy the pussy February 24, 2014 at 2:18 pm

If it makes you feel better keep trying to tell yourself that you stupid little pussy. You are just too easy to make fun of. I guess its because its so true.

Squishy123 February 24, 2014 at 3:01 pm

What a typical dirtpecker.

squsihy the pussy February 24, 2014 at 3:26 pm

I love how you follow me around responding within minutes of my posts, yet have nothing to say. Typical dirtpecker ignorance.

Thanks for keeping up us up to date on Gamecocks recruiting…USC is not in your head at all, huh? Does it bother you your beloved Tigers have the higher rated recruiting class each year, yet your team can’t win? That has got to suck for you.
5 going on 6. Better prepare yourself, Bitter Kitty. But by all means, grandpa, tell us some more about the series history.

Top rated recruit? According to whom? He was a good DE that we knew was probably not going to qualify. But he’s talented enough that you still recruit him and hope to get him back in a year or two.
