To jump ship, so think I'll just pop some popcorn and watch the sh** show go down.....what's next?
Been a gamecock fan way too long

Yep. I've survived many a ship wreck & still seem to board the Carolina vessel every single time it puts back in to sea.
Count me in there with you. Probably, my biggest flaw is I'm loyal to a fault.
This is like being a passenger on the Titanic five different times.
Yep....this may be one heckuva roller coaster ride.
Here is some music to enjoy while we endure Tanner’s athletic dept...
77 year old male here. The change for me is the lack of passion, of pounding the floor when there’s a bad play, a bad coaches decision, a bad call by the ref, a bad hire by the AD. I expect all of those things now. Can’t afford to let the BP level get too high. Apathetic might be the right description of my feelings
How many years before you got to that point? I’m soon to be 51 and starting to feel like you
I’m gonna hit the big 50 this year. I don’t expect any more big time Gamecock football success in my lifetime. But at least I got to see(and remember) all the good stuff from ‘77(or so) to the present. 1984 being my favorite time period(13 yrs old-it was black magic).
As I try to distract myself with humor, I was thinking how a Coach Joe Morrison or Danny Ford would have handled this situation w/ Bobo?
Morrison would have put a cigarette out on his cheek & Ford would have spit tobacco juice in his eye.
THANK YOU SIR!!! That’s exactly what I needed!!! 😂😂😂
The totally worst part of this is that it is apparent that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Even some of the sunshine pumpers from a month ago have come back to their senses that Beamer is not the next Dabo and that the program is a joke. But there is still that cult out there that desperately want to believe in Beamer, or whatever Ray tells them, just like they did with Muschamp.
Shortly after Ray Tanner royally screwed up Spurriers leaving. I don’t blame Spurrir. We knew years in advance that he would have to be replaced when he approached 70 years old. Ray, should have had a handful of propspective head football coaches in mind to replace Spurrier. And the best he could come up with was Muschamp, That was my apathetic beginning. Muschamp? Really?
It's a lot easier when the shipwrecks are eminently survivable.
You didn't ask me, but it set in fully with me at age 69. I got to where I couldn't get mad anymore when we performed badly and watched games on television - games that I would have once attended - with no more interest than I would have watched "Wheel of Fortune".
Don’t you miss listening to bob Fulton back when all games weren’t on tv? He was great
He was professional and he was distinctive and he was ours - all that at once. He probably stayed on a few years too long, but even at the end, he was better than what we have now.
Another long time fan(since Dietzel)so have been thru a lot and like some posters my passion is spent. Just don't care as much anymore and haven't bought any new GC gear in over a decade.
Have looked at my GC portfolio and have decided my rate of return just isn't worth it anymore. Still a casual fan and always will be.
We have been hoodwinked and led down the primrose path by GC athletic departments that has never had 1/5th the passion and want to of GC fans.
There is absolutely zero reason why USC hasn't done and seems incapable of doing what our no. 1 state rival is doing.

I literally feel your pain and agree with you.
I had hope when we got rid of MusChamp. But this isn't shaping up to well.
Ray Tanner, as an AD, has been and continues to be one of the biggest mistakes we've ever seen.
I'm 68 and am disgusted at the state of the football program. The hire of the new OC is underwhelming,
Agree....and it won’t be long before we who have posted here will be characterized as the “problem” with the program.
Mike Morgan would have worked out. It was Liz McMillan who needed to go.
Can someone send this thread to Ray Tanner and President Caslon or whatever his name is. If they don’t know by now they have a very angry, disgruntled and vitriolic fan base.
Maybe we can start a new thread or just offer here some genuine, well thought out suggestions on what needs to be done to right the ship.
Frankly, my initial thought is there is only one thing to do immediately. OfferTanner an off the campus analyst position of the baseball program. He’s pretty dang good when it comes to knowing baseball.

The overriding question is-Why is he still AD? He's not professional. He takes the easy way instead of working hard to advance our FB pgm.
Why didn't someone stop him from hiring Mushhead? Mush a complete disaster. Worse than Brad and Bell. Lemmee see if I'm Ray Ray I have a choice between a young hot shot(Riley)upcoming coach or a proven loser who couldn't win at Fla. Well a hard choice but I'm gonna go with the loser. Then he compounds that by giving him an underserved buyout then compounds that by not stipulating that mulehead's buyout will be reduced by future earnings.
I don't think any other SEC with the possible exception of Vandy would put up with a totally clueless AD such as him.

And I just thought it was just me at age 67 experiencing this.
