Big ballgame at CLA. Live updates to follow. Should be a good environment here.

South Carolina is one of them:

Frank's BOY = NCAA 20-18 (SEC 10-14)
Jim Harbaugh = NCAA 141-52 (NFL 44-19-1)

I certainly do realize that many of our fans are thinking, "I HATE Michigan!" (Duh? what's that got to do with anything?)
I also realize a lot of our fans are bursting to scream out, "I HATE JIM HARBAUGH!!!" WE are GOOD at hating!

Some folks don't even want to talk to him because, 'He wouldn't come here" (Neither did Lou Holtz & Steve Spurrier)

Some folks don't think Carolina could afford Harbaugh. (But, we could afford giving Frank's BOY a $3.375 MILLION DOLLAR RAISE in exchange for a 5-7 season. (Ok, Okay, OKAY. Yeah, we did beat Furman.)

What I do KNOW FOR CERTAIN, is that Carolina Fans LOVE LOSING, because we do it SO OFTEN and swear they see progress.

P.S. Y'all do remember that both Holtz & Spurrier did NFL Stints prior to coming to Carolina?

thanks in advance.

The annual frustration of players bailing on the team’s final game wont happen this year at least!!

And in other news, Liberty/Chadwell are simply slaughtering their opponents OTW to a 13-0 year 1 Conference USA championship. Mississippi State inquired about him and he declined, said hes happy there (as I said, he wants to stay in the NC/SC/TN/VA region). Oh what coulda been…..

Multiple outlets are reporting DE Donovan Westmoreland will be entering the transfer portal. Westmoreland was a head to head recruiting win over Georgia in the 2022 class, as the Gamecock staff flipped his commitment.

Me neither.

Any school that takes football seriously would clean house after last nights pitiful performance.
We will just make excuses and say wait till next year and by February fans will be predicting a championship in 2024. Rinse and Repeat. That is Gamecock football.

We were finally a nationally respected football program. Just wrapped up the 5peat, were bringing in top talent, had winning steaks against other top programs too like UGA and would win the Capital One bowl to finish #4 in the final rankings. 2014 would end up being a decent season but after that the wheels completely fell off. The baseball team also was coming off three straight trips to the title series and winning two national titles. In 2013 they didn't make it to Omaha but would make it to the super regional against UNC only to fall short.

Those were the glory years for Carolina sports. Now ten years later thanks to poor hires by a bone headed, unqualified AD (who is on a lifetime contract it seems and is still inexplicably allowed to hire new coaches) we find ourselves back in the black hole we supposedly had dug ourselves out of back then and with no end in sight.

The Garnet Way.

They can afford to get just about anybody that want. Some coach is going to hit the jackpot with everything they need to win a national title.

Who do they hire?

Have in store for us?

What coaches leave?
Who gets fired?

What players transfer?

Let the games begin.

Check out the 2024 schedule, Oklahoma, LSU, Alabama, Tam U, just to name a few. We will be dogs in every SEC game except Vandy.

Special teams coach was getting all kinds of accolades last year. This year's special teams was disappointing. We didn't block any kicks or punts that I recall this year compared to last year. No memorable returns. Punting last year was phenomenal-pinning teams close to their goal lines and kicking clutch long punts when needed. This year Kroeger looked average at best. Field goal team was decent.

Get it done.


He was better than what we currently have.

I played football for 12 years and have been an avid fan of the game for the 44 years ever since and I have never seen a call like the one last night. Clemsux had the ball and it was 3rd and 1. They ran a play and picked up the first down but were called for an illegal formation. Instead of assessing a 5 yard penalty and repeating 3rd down the refs gave them the first down and assessed the penalty afterward making it first and fifteen. Were they just making up rules as they went last night? It seemed so.

Great endorsement.

Sounds like Rattler's move to the NFL is not set in stone yet.

4th round NFL draft picks average around $4mil contracts.

Maybe they can come up with enough NIL money to have him kick the can down the road another year.

He'd probably much rather play at the college level if the compensation packages are similar.
