Tommy Bowden didn't get enough time.
Poor Richard Bell. He'd have won 10 national titles had we just been patient.
As we draw closer to the Missouri defeat, which angle will the most skilled pumpers take?

Im genuinely shocked. If we lose to Missouri the mods need to lock this board down for a week.
Highly rated? Hmmm. Not sure I'd bestow them that moniker. It's also a game 85% of the people on this board chalked up as a WIN in the preseason prediction threads. I hope we win...truly do. I hope Muschamp wins out and I have to eat a buffet of crow.
Lose this one, and we're circling farther down in the toilet bowl than at any point in the Muschamp tenure.
If you start early, you attenuate the daily misery.
I was responding to the “list of excuses we can make if we lose. “ thread.
And we need to give Muschamp a pay & buyout bump if we don't want someone to come steal him.
I've added a new sig to help my old buddies out. Essentially, they assigned blame on all sides. It's a free article. I haven't linked since it's from a comp.

In all fairness, you listed it "3-6", which to most people equates to 3 wins, 6 losses, not 3 of 6. That is usually depicted as 3/6.
Everybody beats KansasCoastal beat Kansas.\
They technically have a better win than us.
I do not remember the "pumpers" justifying (using an excuse) the defeat against North Carolina. I would suspect the same thing would happen if South Carolina were to lose against the Tigers.
South Carolina has a dangerous offensive arsenal. For whatever reason, in the last few games I think the incompletions have been reduced. Even Dowdle looks like he has improved with his receptions. Markway is dependable and Feaster and Joyner can make explosive plays. South Carolina still needs to improve on scoring touchdowns while in the red zone and I think it is time for OrTre Smith to reclaim his starting position.
I can imagine that the defense will have it struggles throughout the season, where South Carolina will have to depend on the offense to win games. Who knows, if no injuries occur on the offense (very unlikely) then South Carolina could win seven or eight games this season.
Trap game after the emotion spent against Bama.
Still rebuilding, but Muschamp has things on solid footing and pointing in right direction.
Now matter Hilinski's numbers, you cannot replace the leadership qualities of a senior QB.

One that's leading his team off the field after throwing a bad pass or an INT?
I'll pass on those leadership qualities and defer to the freshman.
Hindsight is 20/20, but if we had started Hilinski v. UNC, we would have smoked them. That's on our coaches.
Perhaps the University of South Carolina should hire you to be their next AD and Head coach, you certainly seem qualified just based on this and all the other positive encouraging/"keeping it real" post you put out on this site (i.e.As we draw closer to the Missouri defeat, which angle will the most skilled pumpers take?).
Gamecock football future would be in fantastic hands with you at the helm, the way you talk sounds like you could easily motivate, inspire and encourage every single one of these fine young men into putting their heart and soul into winning 15 games and a national title.
I'm sure you'll be the first one the board of trustees calls once the university fires Tanner and Muschamp.
Just keeping it real... nobody likes losing.
If and when change does comes, it won't because of anything posted on the Fighting Gamecocks Forum.
If posting none stop "keeping it real" help you grieve a loss, go for it, that's what this site is here for to have a place we can all go and cry... or not.
Go Gamecocks!!
Forever to thee!

Missouri is the old Ga.Tech of the midwest, no way of knowing which team will show up,one week they are world beaters and the next? Well, you all know how inconsistancy works
I honestly expect to win at Mizzou in a high scoring game. I have little faith in our secondary right now, but feeling pretty good about the offense. So if we lose like you think we are, I will have no excuse. This is a must win game to salvage the season IMO and I can't trust this team at all if they cannot rise to the occasion against a good but very flawed MIzzou team.
That said, what will be your excuse for how pathetically awful we still are when we win?
If you were not a troll, people might take you seriously.
Having a negative opinion about the coaching staff and AD Ray Tanner makes me a troll? Cool. I'm a troll. I'd hazard 65% of the fan base joins me in troll status.
Was I a troll when I supported Coach SOS?
I guess I'm a troll because I love Hilinski.
My trollship is on full display because I like Frank Martin. (I realize, that flies in the face of many pumper hold-outs. Tricky, the Martin situation.)
Guess I'm a troll. It beats being a blind pumper who cannot discern when he's been shat on.

Not Boston College.
Right now, Clemson, Coastal Carolina and the Citadel all have better wins than South Carolina in 2019.
Your posts make it obvious, but play the I am not a pumper so I am a troll card. The title of the thread you started tells me all I need to know. " as we draw closer to the Missouri defeat.."
Cynicism isn't intelligence, and hedge-betting isn't profound insight.
This is a very different team from Week 1. That's not to say we're suddenly world-beaters, but it does mean if you watch the tape of the Bama game compared to the UNC game and don't see a sharp upward trajectory, it's because you're an emo-cock whose addiction to self-pity supercedes all reason.
