I know you don't care about being genuine but it's just dumb to compare the eras. Spurrier would have done so much better if he could have bought talent.

Wrong. No way we keep players like Lattimore or Clowney. Both would have been purchased by bigger schools.

It's just dumb to say that when we've bought multiple five star players for Beamer and Rattler and Sanders.

It's just dumb to say that either of those players were even close to comparable to Clowney or Lattimore. Rattler and Rocket wouldn't even come close to demanding the money that Clowney or Lattimore could have demand. Rattler and Rocket were both considered second chance projects and were nowhere near as in demand as Clowney and Lattimore were.

It's so weird that you feel the need to just make up outlandish things to support your opinions.

So we can afford the #2 DE from out of state but we couldn't afford the #1 DE from in state?

Then you just make up facts that Sanders and Rattler weren't still in demand prospects?

I'm not going to make those comparisons other than Beamer's record is a very nice accomplishment for him.

Making the comparisons seems off point to me. There are dozens of ways to look at things between coaches- including our state hasn't produced another Clowney since Clowney- or even another Lattimore. - and on and on and on..

I'm impressed with this team this year given I was hoping we could pull out 6 wins. Some thought this Beamer had little chance at a good year and 9 wins with a chance at 10 is something I didn't think would happen this year.

A former coworker of mine lives in Nashville. He isn't a South Carolina or even an SEC fan- though he doesn't dislike the SEC. He doesn't seem to have one particular team he pulls for but he's more of a Big 10 guy because he's from Wisconsin. He's texted me 3 weeks in a row now telling me we are lucky to have a coach like Beamer who also comes across as a good guy. That's his view and I think sometimes we don't realize we've got a good coach who wants to be at South Carolina more than anywhere else.

I was watching a video today of Hugh Freeze walking into the stadium at Bama and I was reading the comments of Auburn fans making fun of him- even the way he was walking. I was thinking that there aren't but a few out there making fun of Shane Beamer today.
