Agree.If the players want to go then I say let them. They’ve been down a long and winding road this year.
I saw on bleacher reports a comment from the same guy who broke the Beamer hire that if a bowl was offered SC wouldn’t accept it so they could turn the page . I think this would be best .
Probably because there are so many bowls and a lot of teams are simply not playing. We may stand a good chance to be invited to a non-affiliated bowl. I'm not sure the SEC would allow us to turn one down.I have to agree. Unlikely Beamer would have his new staff fully in place and the old staff members who are not being retained will be moving on already. So not sure we could have a proper coaching staff in place for the game.
Now, I guess the thing which could change this is if the SEC needs us to go to a bowl to fulfill their obligations. With fewer bowls this year and every 12 teams ahead of us in the pecking order, I don’t really see why they would need us.
NO, you don't get rewarded for going 2-8.Well, maybe this could be viewed as some type of reward for the players for all the turmoil they have been through this year.
Pretty much anyone with a chance of going to the combine has already opted out except maybe Shi.I’d we go to a bowl, how many players would opt out for fear of injury which would hurt their chances in the combine? The precedence has been set.
I’ve come to agree with this. A couple of weeks ago, I was all for a bowl, but yeah; this season just needs to be in the rear view at this point.I saw on bleacher reports a comment from the same guy who broke the Beamer hire that if a bowl was offered SC wouldn’t accept it so they could turn the page .

And, to think some used to complain about 6-6 teams going to bowl.

We'll get our asses reamed.
Wait until the bowl rolls around if we end up going to one. I bet what you see won't look anything like players who've felt like they've been rewarded.Well, maybe this could be viewed as some type of reward for the players for all the turmoil they have been through this year.
Gives you a different way of thinking about "How 'bout them Cocks"

Never turn down more practices. It could be treated as an extra spring practice for Beamer. Don't worry about what actually happens during the game itself. Get a head start on next year. The process in which he wants to do things can be started.
And trust that Shane Beamer has the wits to make the right call as well.Some of y’all on this board are morons. If the players want to play then they should be the ones to make the call
Good plan. Why would a team that won 2 games get an offer?
Decline it? Absolutely not.Pretty much every SEC will get an offer because there are more bowls than teams playing . However I think it’s a good decision to decline it .
How is Beamer going to conduct extra practices in the next 3-4 weeks, when he doesn't have his staff in place.Never turn down more practices.

Not exactly sure what you are expecting them to implement, but this isn't Baylor or Penn State.How is Beamer going to conduct extra practices in the next 3-4 weeks, when he doesn't have his staff in place.
If there were to be any practices from this point on till the end of the year, it would probably have to be the current staff.
It would be lubricous to expect a new staff to implement it's own system in a 3 week time frame.
Several teams had players opt out this season, so this is hardly a consideration to go to a bowl. If you're going to apply the reward for the team that tried and their coach got fired, then you might as well throw in Vandy as well.I want this football season over for the Gamecocks but what I was saying is maybe it could be a reward for the team. Remember this is 2020 and the Gamecock coach got fired which affected a lot of players and in fact there were four or five players that opted out. That was all I'm trying to convey. If it would be fun for the players then I would be for it but that is the only reason I would be for going to a bowl.
One other reason is that the players that are currently still on the team decided they would represent the Gamecocks and when out and played in an under manned squad. They gave it their all!
