Going into the year, few gave SC very much chance of even having a winning season. Also, I think the impact of injuries on an already young team has been under stated. Very needed offensive skill guys went down to injury along with a rash of injuries along the offensive line. Fans always gripe that injuries are a part of the game which of course they are but this team never had enough depth and experience to overcome that.
Still, we finish 8-4 and are playing Michigan on New Years Day in the Outback Bowl with an opportunity for a 9 win season....something that has rarely happened in Columbia.
Yet, it still seems that much of the fanbase is disappointed or just not that excited. I don't get it. I know part of it is the last game vs CU and the fact that they are ranked #1 but that aside, seems like a much better than average year for Carolina and lots of good signs for the future. With turmoil at Tennessee and Florida, teh door is open for the Cocks to have a good run for the next few years.
I guess we will see but really hope Gamecock Nation shows up in Tampa to support this team.
GO COCKS!!! BEAT MICHIGAN!!!
