We could actually get a pretty damn good bowl now. We are one of the hottest teams in the country w back to back top 10 wins. 8-4. They were saying Gator Bowl vs Notre Dame before this win. What now?

Hopefully we’ll add on to our neutral site winning streak! Go Cocks!!

Now I know Shane and Marcus read this board and if they happen to take pause on reading our insider's prose and read my words, I think it will serve them well.
I digress...

Dear Marcus, Shane or to whomever it may inspire,

Like many students of the game, I constantly shift between two states. The first (and far more preferable of the two) is white-hot “in the zone”, seat-of-the-pants, firing on all cylinders coaching mode. This is when you lay your whistle down and those clutch play calls pour out like wine from a royal chalice!

This happens about 3% of the time.

The other 97% of the time I am frustrated, struggling, rip out the papers in the playbook and shoot it into my office’s trash can basketball hoop. AND 1!

The important thing is to slog diligently through this quagmire of discouragement and despair. Put on some film, read some famous coaching quotes. My personal favorite, “It’s not whether you get knocked down; it’s whether you get up. – Vince Lombardi – Henders90”. Many of your famous coaches cannot be summarized in a single quote. What you don’t see is the 10,000 hours they spent in the same state of discouragement and despair you are experiencing right now.

In a word: Persist.

Persist on writing your own story. Persist on reaching your offense. Persist on staying true to your vision and inner self.

Next time the Special Teams outscores the Offense. Persist and remember, you’re never far from that next burst of speed through a gap that delivers a touchdown on what could have been a gain of just one or two yards. Work through that abysmal mediocrity and reach that 3% that everyone will remember you for.

You know this is what you worked for. You know what it feels like to achieve a dream. Perhaps one day in the future, when all of the fog and smoke recedes…an announcement is made, and a banner will be dropped... The Founders Zone will be renamed...the Shame Beamer Zone. Suddenly, 126,843 chant "Beamer Ball! Beamer Ball!" at the top of their lungs, and thank God that they were patient with Shane and Marcus. They asked for patience. They delivered. Persist, Deliver, Gamecocks! This is the way!

What a game! Looks like you found a coach and an offense. Keep it rolling!

Probably will not happen but who knows?...if LSU beat UGA....UGA still in...LSU in.....ohio st. and mich. loser out....and tenn in.

Time to put up or shut up.

After last week, how in the world can you figure the outcome of this contest?

Seeing this headline a lot on threads on other websites: "SC cock blocked Clemson from the playoffs."

Joyner has proven he can play QB and he gives us some mobility. Behind this line that is what is needed! Rattler keeps getting blitzed because they know he isn't much of a running threat. He just throws the damn ball out of bounds. For the love of God, please coaching staff try something different!

Coming to you from the press box in the upstate. Let's do it.

That’s all.

House taters can now go home. BYE
# Clemsoning is back.

Made it interesting by missing 4 FTs down the stretch but Stanford pulls a Chris Webber and calls a Timeout without having one. Zia drains the Technical Free Throws and we get out of Maples with a big win.

I say if we see something like last night on Saturday and the bowl game and you have to hang with him! It just might have taken that long for the guys to get it or he streamlined his scheme to make it more playable!one things for sure, that was a helluva gameplan!

Funny story to me. - Last Year me and friend went to the Fla game. It was rainy and cold. We decided to tailgate at a bar before the game. And saw on ESPN UF was and 87% chance of winning. We laughed and questioned why we were even going to the game. Short story. Cocks win.

Last week we tailgated. And ESPN said Tennessee was 89% chance of winning. We laughed. And said. So you’re saying we have a chance. - cocks Win. - Today ESPN said Taters had 89% chance to win. We laughed. - bet the house. Ha. Cocks Win.


New sayings.

Go Cocks. Nice win Beamer.

I understand most on here quit going to the games. But still a great experience.

Two out of three is not bad for a tight ends coach from Oklahoma leading the charge. I will always look at South Carolina's main accomplishment for the 2022 season as the playoff killer.

I think Tennessee. And tater should play in the belk bowl.

Is there a replay available for the game today?

A great two weeks y’all have had and something to build on. Good wins.

However this plays out, Im really proud of this team. After the Missouri and Florida debacle, facing back to back top 10 teams to close it out, thjs team could have quit. 99% of football fans assumed 2 blowout losses were coming to limp to a 6-6 finish. Well we blow out Tennessee and are now down 30-28 and driving into the red zone as the 4th begins on the road vs another top 10.

Proud of this team!!!! Now lets hope they pull this out. Its a team w flaws but damn they compete and stay in the fight. 2-3 years from now we should expect this to be a win, but as we rebuild, this is clearly progress

You know what to do. Go Cocks!

Prediction: This offseason this board has 3X the posters as last season. Losing to Clemson year after year wears on you. It is like the team is reborn. Now it won't be easy, and no NC is in the near future, but you will go in to almost every game knowing a win is possible.
