Everybody’s so damn serious. Just try to enjoy the games.
2021 Football schedule ... who do we beat? 6 wins and 6 loses? Better or worse?
- Thread starter vacock#
- Start date
If the team plays to the best of their ability we should go 4-8.. I wouldn’t be surprised if we only win 2 games though, some of the games that should be easy will not be. Those usual suspects have something to prove too, and they’re not gonna roll over for our new coaching staff. We have weaknesses that need to be addressed, and it’s gonna take a couple years to get them straight. As long as the team plays hard and shows “improvement, and the coaching staff proves they know what they’re doing “I’m happy!
I think they have Talent, not so sure about SEC caliber talent. Gonna take a lot of breaks to win 6 IMO.
I love the Gamecocks but I have seen no evidence that they have very much talent. I hope they prove me wrong.
I think we are only above average in one position and that’s RB. Most all the others we are below average.
3 OOC patsies and vandy means 4 wins is the absolute floor, imo.
Kentucky, tennesse is a dumpster fire, theres a chance for a couple more wins.
As someone said, theres always the chance the other team turns over the ball a bunch.
I know it will be contentious, but I wonder if 5 wins would really be an improvement if 3 of them are OOC patsies that weren't on last years schedule. (Obviously, that would just be a matter of opinion then on how the team performed)

4-8 realistically. Anything above that is gravy.
I think we'll know this year if Beamer is going to move us towards being competitive...
Will we be unprepared and uncompetitive as we were under Chump, or will we be prepared and competent and have a fighting spirit throughout the season? We'll see.

I think ECU in Greenville is a toss up right now. E. Illinois, Troy, and Vandy ought to be wins. Tenn and Ky are toss ups. Mizzou and Auburn are probable losses, Texas AM, Georgia, Clemson, and Florida are definite losses. Maybe we can have a season like Spurrier’s first (2005) were we are underhanded, but surprise a few teams. I think 6-6 would be outstanding, but if we play hard and smart and go 4-8, what can you say.
Oh, you know he will. Those who’ve been against him from the start will be calling for his firing after the very first loss. (Maybe even the very first play that doesn’t immediately go for a TD.)
I won’t predict W/L record yet.
I’m just ready to see full buy-in by players shown by the effort given on the field, less missed assignments, and evidence the guys are having fun. After all, it is a game.

3-9 most likely right now. 4 wins is the ceiling IMO.
If he only wins one game he shouldn’t be on anyone’s hot seat. This is all new to Shane so he deserves a chance to make mistakes and try to correct them, “it’s gonna take a few years before the fan base start criticizing him. Now if he looks “clueless” like he has no idea “what he’s doing” then people have a right to go after him but hopefully, the majority of us will have his back at least the first first two years.
Hold on to you shorts oh ye of little faith! This crew will put together a running game reminiscent of the best of the Carlen years. We will catch opponents unaware of what a ground-pounding run game is. 9-3 season, and you heard it first ritchea!
6-6 would be considered a successful first season for Beamer.
I think some of you are nuts...but I hope you're right.
I only feel 100% confident that Carolina will have 2 wins next year. I think we may split with either ECU or Troy...because I can't foresee Mike Houston having a third bad year there.
Vandy is the only probably conference win. Will justifiably be underdogs in all other conference games...and my overall prediction is: 3-9
*Disclaimer: this is not a smart @ss remark...
I think the reason we won't be near 6-6 is due to the talent on team and staff. If they get 5 wins I will feel like we are upward trending and my expectations will have been surpassed. I hope you are right- would make this fall's living better.
Not a too difficult schedule. We could squeak out 6 wins and go bowling in Shane's first season. At least that's what I hope but we won't know anything until we see the product on the field.
Well, if the first loss is to Eastern Illinois, I think it is prudent to raise some questions.
He should get 5 years at very least to produce. After that a hot seat. Thinking it’s a instant winning record with his hire is crazy. He has to have time just like Muschamp to build a team. I did not agree with his hire but I do say we need to give him time
4-8 or 5-7
Offensive is nowhere close to putting up points will need to win 6 games
Defensively our DTs were probably the worst in the SEC. No elite pass rusher, LBs are below average in the SEC. Secondary will get better as the season goes on, but with no pass rush, and not being able to stop the run. It'll be a long season for the Secondary.

oh ye of little faith.. Thank goodness you only showed the start of my run, I fell down twice near the village.
A lot of you guys sure are proud of UT and Mizzou, I dont see it. 6-6 and a bowl game.
8-4 if both runningbacks stay healthy. Losses to Georgia, Texas A&M, Florida and Clemson.
I think you'll find ECU is no patsy especially at their place. 5 wins would be a good season...
It all come down to QB play.Poor Qb play equals 3 wins.Excellent QB play means 7-8 wins.Likely somewhere in between.
