Beamer,

When I first heard you were going to be the next coach at USC I was indifferent. Then I became excited, not for the fact that you brought anything to the table, but more that you didn't. You were new yet familiar. You didn't have baggage winning or losing. Your genuine love for the school and honest approach of this job being your dream job gave me "hope". I am one of your biggest advocates and fans. Felt like a breath of fresh air moving on from Muschamp.

With that being said, me as a fan. I'm disappointed. Yes your 1st year was incredible and the upsets against Kentucky & Texas A&M are amazing. Yet watching Missouri game was as expected. Gamecocks have been more lucky than good and that is a recipe for disaster. I admire your loyalty, but it's time for changes. I know you would say what does a fan know about being a Head coach for a power 5 school. My answer would be nothing. Yet as a business owner I would. My brother and I share an HVAC company. How does this relate. Imagine I'm the athletic director for the school or the owner of an NFL team. I understand that fans are your business. With out them you have no job. Fans buy tickets, merchandise, purchase cable & satellite, sponsorship, NIL deals, and many more things. You as a coach you are a director for a movie. In your case a gladiator sport. It is your job to provide entertainment and the best product possible. I know that you were not given a huge budget to buy the best staff, but as in life we work with what we have. I will not name names, but state facts. Your offense is atrocious and no matter what you believe the season will continue this way until you make some drastic changes. Otherwise eluding back to me being an owner. Your staff and the fans will cost you your job. Make the tough decisions and become one of the greats. I believe that "you" have it in you.

Go Gamecock's!!!!

Unfortunately, Carolina didn't fair much better in Olympic Sports than they did on the gridiron this weekend:

VOLLEYBALL

FROM USC:

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina lost at home for just the second time this fall, losing 3-1 to Texas A&M (12-10, 4-7 SEC) on Friday night. The Gamecocks fall back to .500 for the season at 10-10 overall and now stand at 4-6 in conference play.

UP NEXT
It will be a busy week coming up for the Gamecocks, starting Wednesday night with a road trip to Arkansas. After the return home from Fayetteville, the team will host Ole Miss for a two-game weekend series running Saturday and Sunday.

MEN'S SOCCER

FROM USC:

ATLANTA – The South Carolina men’s soccer team (5-6-4, 1-3-3 SBC) dropped its final road match of the regular season 2-0 Friday night (Oct. 28) to Sun Belt Conference foe Georgia State (10-3-3, 3-2-2).

On the night, the Panthers out-shot the Gamecocks 23-13, but Carolina held an 8-6 shot on goal advantage.

The Gamecocks came out firing in the first half, putting five shots on goal. However, it would be Georgia State who found the back of the net in the opening period. The Panthers put one home after a pass deflected off several GSU players, before finding the back of the net.

Carolina was unable to keep its offensive momentum going into the start of the second half, as it was limited to one shot in the first 35 minutes. Georgia State added to its lead in the 51st minute on a shot from the left side into the far post. In the final four minutes, the Gamecock offense pushed forward looking for a final scoring opportunity, attempting four shots and putting a pair of shots on goal.

South Carolina returns home to close out the regular season when its hosts No. 2 Kentucky on Tuesday, November 1 at 7 p.m. Prior to the match the Gamecocks will honor its five seniors, Brian Banahan, Logan Frost, Logan Hitzeman, Parker League, and Alex McDonald.

Happy Halloween!

Hearing from Beamer post-Missouri and pre-Vanderbilt in about 10 minutes here.

Hey y'all, I'll have more tomorrow in my advanced stats piece for subscribers (it's only $10 a month for that, a ton of exlusive recruiting content, premium film breakdowns and more!), but here's a quick taste of what's coming. I did some play charting about Satterfield's playcalling, specifically the passes and the horizontal stuff:

Heard that over my morning coffee. I immediately got up, threw the dog in the car and headed out to buy tickets.

Now, I know I'm not going to win and I'm sure there are many out there who would suggest that I just take the money I was going to spend on tickers and toss it out the car window.

But, ya know, I had a smile on my face all the way to and from the store. Cracked a few jokes with a couple of other folks, also in line to purchase tickets. Good way to start the day.

The smile I had this morning was certainly worth the 10 bucks I laid down.

Time for him to ride the pine…………..Once again, more turnovers than TD.s

This team sux

Or are otherwise able to ask him direct questions?

If so, can someone please ask him how Missouri knew what plays we were going to run?

TIA

but I think Beamer should bench Rattler for Doty and have someone else on the coaching staff call for the Offense. I think it would at least show he is not screwing around. What are other opinions

USCALUMNI

Don't Call It. Call 'Unnecessary Roughness' instead. Except for the expulsion aspect, it's the same 15 yard penalty and it's not reviewable. Plus, at least the perpatrator gets busted even if it's not targeting. I've seen 3 hits today, so far, and one was very obvious and even had the talking heads commenting.

It won't be long before college ball follows suit. In fact, I heard (wasn't paying attention, so I didn't see them) it a couple of times yesterday and immediately thought: Odd, when's the last time I heard an unnecessary roughness call?

We can neither handle success or failure well.

Coastal………

I didn't pull any punches here. The offensive struggles came home to roost in this one after being covered up by big plays on special teams and defense the last two weeks.

Feel free to use this to discuss the game.

As always, if you want to upgrade to a premium subscription @Alan Cole and I will be giving live updates and thoughts on the Insider's Forum.

In my opinion South Carolina and Missouri resemble each other with a good defense and an offense that struggles at times. I believe Missouri may be leading at the half, but South Carolina offense does just enough to win the game in the second half.

Coming in from the press box on homecoming. Let's do this.
