So Frank Asks the Fans to Show Up for Home Games
- Thread starter rentz08
- Start date
Yet someone ask you to make numerous post bashing our coach , school , and players ???
Unfortunately Home letdowns seems to be a running theme for USC men’s sports this year. I was obviously pleased with the overall football season, but it stung that the two biggest home environments in years (UK and Clemsatan) were met with total bedcrappings from SC.
Similarly, SC had 2 winnable Home hoops games the last 2 Saturday’s with great home crowds and somehow let both games slip through their fingers. Tonight was a hard kick in the sensitive parts and it seems like this team is crashing back to reality.

Maybe because it was a weeknight and the game started at 8:35 ?
Unfoprtunately this team is not fun to watch right now. They are void of offensive talent. I cant see them getting a bid, if they do, i am afraid it may be one and done. Come on Frank, Prove me wrong.. Last year was a fun run to watch, this year, is just painful.
There's a silver lining here folks. Football Spring practice is just around the corner.
Why should a team or its coach have to prove a fan is wrong? Is there something I'm missing about it means to be a fan?
Atmosphere is important to winning, would you agree? And we pay the coach to try and win, right? What would be weird about him wanting to have a packed loud house?
Hate to say it but I think fans stayed home because they're planning to go tonight. Much bigger game vs Uconn than Miss State.

There is also this crazy flu going around. People have gotten to the point of having their groceries delivered because they don't want to leave the house. If someone hiccups, they are dousing them in lysol. Our parking garage is a ghost town compared to normal of late.
84 SC residents have died from the flu so far .
I worked yesterday and went the game .
Wouldn't have made a difference IMO. You could feel the bandwagon empty after the Texas Tech game. We'll still get good crowds for the last two home games (UF and Auburn) but the weeknight games will be subpar like last night, esp LSU. (Would love to be wrong but that's my prediction)

Maybe, but weeknight games, not involving UK, have always had spotty attendance. For-Eh-Ver.

Yes, they were. I was in college in the mid 90s and worked at the Athletic Department until 1998. ALWAYS plenty of tickets available for games not involving UK.
Nonsense. I went to the game and was home in bed by 11pm - earlier than usual.
How is that an excuse? I have to be at work at 7:30am and I live an hour away! I'm not going to a game that late.

You know it means you're not a "true fan" if Gamecock Athletics is not the #1 thing in your life and everything else revolves around it.
I was at the game last night AND got showed on the Jumbotron. I'll carry the team on my back for slackers like @Kitchenlabs
41. BA from Carolina in '99. MS from Alabama in '12. ROLL COCKS!
Were you the bald, skinny, weasely dude?
Nope. When I got up to leave there was 8 seconds left on the clock and MSU was at the line. The final buzzer sounded right when I got to the top of the steps.
The first thing I noticed in the shot was my rippling biceps but that's just me
contd . . . . . . his following up with losses. He needs to put his and his team's performances at an equal level with his expectations of fan attendance and enthusiasm. Lately, that hasn't been the case.
Well, I'm a fan and I see it Frank's way. So I guess there's differing opinions out there.
I'm up at 5 every morning. Sometimes earlier. That's too late for me.
Hate to pull a Lee Corso on you but . . . not so fast. This team did beat UK at home only a few weeks ago. It might not be the dominant UK team that we're used to but that was big win. I may be in the minority but I think it's the borderline teams that need the most fan support. It's easy to pack the stands when you have studs like Thornwell and Dozier. That's the point most fans miss.
