I agree, we suck at marketing our men's basketball program. Maybe we should get Justin King to enhance our social media content.

Carolina fans will support a winner, but it needs to be a captivating winner. We have a mid-major team.The fans in Columbia area better start supporting the program...if not SC maybe looking for a coach in the future..he's not happy about that
Most fans are fair weather fans, and that statement I just read proves it. If you care about your school you will support it, no matter what. Most people do not care. But hey, the fans will go and yell loudly if they have a chance for a free sandwich. Clemson rules in football and that is part of the reason why.Carolina fans will support a winner, but it needs to be a captivating winner. We have a mid-major team.

It will be fine.
To tell you the truth I had no idea Wyoming was any good until I saw someone mention it in the game thread. I doubt the average fan knew Wyoming was a tough team too. We aren't Tobacco Road here, football is king and will always be in this state. The turnout has been poor, why I'm not really sure. I haven't been to a game yet, hope to go to some here soon. I'll go to Saturday's game for sure.
Are you as miserable in real life as you seem on this board?Carolina fans will support a winner, but it needs to be a captivating winner. We have a mid-major team.
We have a lot of ungrateful, short-sighted fans now that are happy or upset week-to-week.Wow. Sad.
Also, it's still early in the season. Like you say, after the holidays, basketball interest in general (not just Gamecock, but overall) will most likely pick up.I would think being close to christmas has an effect. Lots of money spent on gifts, goin to parties and get togethers and etc. If things dont pick up after the holidays then i would begin to think there may be a legitimate problem
Didn't we just finish a home and away with Ohio state like 2 years ago? And as you mentioned, played Syracuse a couple times... we always play the taters OOC... let's not act like this is a trend of us never scheduling power conf teams OOC... this year is a little weaker but the SEC schedule is MURDER this season! Have you seen how many are in the top 25? TOP TEN even?!? This is going to be a tough season even if we played all cupcakes OOC...Exactly right about the out of conference schedule. The truth is like someone mentioned they didn't know Wyoming was any good. But what fans want are games vs OC teams who fans are familiar with. Give us a game or two vs major schools. Hell get us in something like the Jimmy V classic or Maui Invitation. But also why does Syracuse not have to come back to Columbia? A few home and away series with the likes of a UConn, Kansas, Ohio St...just some bigger named schools would help before Christmas attendance.

No. I'm a carrier.Are you as miserable in real life as you seem on this board?
I appreciate Frank's passion. He could just collect a paycheck and go through the motions for many years thanks to the Final Four run. Unfortunately, I think the insane amount of turnover in the program prevents fans from becoming too invested in the team. Maybe that's the nature of the college basketball game today or that's the only way to win at South Carolina. I wish I was more in the team, but I'm just not feeling it.
What you bring in is at least as important as what you lose - or how many.There's only 15 players on any given team , teams will sign 3-5 players a year , losing 4 players ( including a suspended player) a year isn't unusual , regardless of the amount of players loses a fan should invest in the entire program ,especially a program that won over 50 the last 2 years including a final 4 and not because specific players graduated or left the program
