I think that hit changed the Michigan player's life, too. I mean death is life changing, right?

gah i bet vincent smith hates that "hit". he even said hes only seen it once or twice, which i dont blame. he prob thinks its overrated and what's the big deal but hell yea it's a big deal. it'll be the same as if he trucked clowney, he would love it and cherish it for as long as he could.

I read the Sports Illustrated article about the hit and Smith also said it didn't hurt. Which I immediately thought bullspit Sure he has been hit harder, but not hurt one bit... sounds like someone who's trying to brush it off as not a big deal.

im pretty sure people outside of SC knew him before the hit, i hope so at least.

many did many did not. if you were a diehard cfb fan then you had heard of him. if you were a casual fan you might not have.

another thing it did was open him up to nfl fans. believe it or not many nfl fans couldnt tell you where the players in their league came from. college to them is a recruiting ground just as hs is to a college fan. only the diehards follow hs recruiting.

i talked about clowney to a group of guys i would see every sunday for nfl games and they had no clue who he was. i told them he wouldve been a possible number 1 out as a soph and they thought i was insane.

after the "hit", when i saw them next, they were talking about him alot. even saying how much they wanted him on their team..

I thought he came across really well here. He's speaking has improved alot.

I thought the same thing, far from perfect, but very well improved.

Geez bro....at least if you're gonna critique a guy make sure you spit out a correct sentence yourself. Lol!

Evilchicken2 · 03-06-2013, 10:27 PM

In Clowney, we finally have that super elite player we've seen other teams have for years. Probable NFL draft first pick; media darling; amazing highlights; the talk of football fans everywhere; college football poster child...

I intend on soaking up Clowney's final year for everything it's worth.

Roosterdog · 03-06-2013, 10:41 PM

Has anybody ever gotten more out of 1 play? Don't get me wrong, JC was having a nice year last year with some very good games ( 4 sacks @ Clemsux) but he was just another real good player up until that hit and then (like the UM dude's helmet) his career took off like a meteor and took on a whole new dimension. It's crazy just how much attention and fame that 1 play has attracted. And to think it's a GAMECOCK!!! How awesome is that and how awesome is JC!!!!
