I realize it’s irrelevant either way, but ffs why not keep us from having a 0.
Good lord kick a field goal to save the shutout.

Down 3 tds beer gut would kick a field goal instead of trying to win. Sounds like you think like him. I'm glad he's gone. A loss is a loss.
Explain how we win with a td in that situation? Down 3 td’s with 5 seconds? Just saying 3 is better than 0. Obviously you prefer the shutout.
I posted this in another thread…kicking a FG there would’ve been flat out embarrassing. It’s just something you don’t do. I’m already embarrassed. The shutout was embarrassing, no doubt. But a FG as time expired to lose 30-3 would actually be more embarrassing than playing it out and losing 30-0. The shutout is just a statistic. All that really mattered was a win or loss. But we kick that FG…we lose our dignity against our rival.
I like to think we were just KO'd, so to me the score accurately reflects the sad reality.
What's 3 going to do for you? Gonna have a better week? When I was a child I felt like you. Kick the fg, at least not get shut out. Why is that important? I was all for kicking fgs against Kentucky but we needed points at the time instead of turnover on downs. I guess it was EXTREMELY important to you to lose 30-3 instead of 30-0. I'm disappointed that we lost convincingly, 3 pts wouldn't have made me less disappointed.
Can’t wait to contribute to Garnet Trust. I’m a sucker for bad investments.
Why was the 3 important. The broadcast before next years game will start out the tigers shutout the Gamecocks at home to end the regular season and that just sux.
Walt Disney struck gold with his investment in Florida swamp land some years ago. You never know, right? 😂
I can see the validity to both sides of this argument, but in the end 0 or 3 is still an awful performance.
wanting a FG in that situation is the man-gina way of looking at things...
Nah. Go down swinging lol. A field goal would have had our own fans booing.
Maybe the shutout will motivate the players going forward.....
Kicking a field goal there would have been such a little b**ch move. How do so many folks here not understand that?
Capitulating to Dabo and letting him spend the rest of his life talking about the time he shut out the Gamecocks is the real “b” move.
Absolutely true. But if 0 or 3 is an awful performance, isn’t 3 or 7 still an awful performance?
It's not capitulating. It's running the offense and trying to score a touchdown. Not kicking a meaningless field goal for the sole purpose of being able to say we didn't get shut out.
Swinging😂😂😂
If we were SWINGING during the game, we sure didn’t connect with any punches.

It's a meaningless touchdown. So your point isn't as logically sound as you're pretending.
Eh, I'm not in favor. Kind of bush league to kick a FG just to take away the other team's shutout. Treat it like any other time and try to score the TD. If you're good enough, you'll score. If not, the other team earned the shutout.
“Trying to win?” Lol. There were 5 seconds left in the game. Kick the fg avoid the shutout and give Parker a shot at the all time
Scoring record
There’s a guy on the team(who has kicked game winning field goals for the team) that could have tied the scoring record. Why not let him do that?
Parker probably does not want his record setting FG to live in his mind that it was “achieved” against Clemson in a blowout loss. That memory would suck for years to come.
If kicking a FG is weak, then what is having maybe our slowest player try to run 15 yds for a TD and come up 3 yds short? I’ll answer that. Stupid
The probability of a first down or TD was close to zero. The probability of making a FG to score was closer to 100. How do so many folks here not understand that? The goal is to score points. Not go for an impossible TD. I guess a ridiculous play to end the game makes you more of a man than taking the points. Whatever.
^^^^^^^ This.
It’s pride on both sides. Get the points and don’t look like a fool vs go for it and don’t look like a p*ssy.
And I would have booed that decision myself. I haven't booed anything down there since Brad was coach.
I’m glad we didn’t kick it but I think our dignity was already gone unfortunately.
Personally I would have Run out our senior kicker and give him a shot with an extra point in the bowl game to set the record. Not to mention tears down the road it was 30-3, not 30-0. No one would
Remember it or even cared when we scored.

Maybe /= I believe. Just throwing out suggestions/possibilities based on other posts.
The first Carolina football game I ever attended was the 1968 opener vs Dook. 53 years a Carolina fan strikes me as a long time.
