It's not the Gator Bowl and this Belk Bowl reminds me of the Papa John's Bowl where it felt like a disappointment bowl...
The Belk bowl is a no win for Muschamp
- Thread starter world famous 3rd base hecklers
- Start date
Hey, we won 3 freakin' games in 2015 (3 seasons ago) and now we ain't happy with the Belk Bowl?
I remember when we won 3 games. That was disappointing.
Some people love projecting their misery
It's only a no win if we dont win
It's only a no win if we dont win
This. Everyone always says if the bowl was closer they would go. So pack that stadium out
I bought my tickets to the Belk Bowl. Wouldn't go to another Birmingham bowl if you paid me $1,000 and gave me a ride to the game.
The extra practices are always a win, no matter what the bowl. UNC won't get those practices before we meet in Charlotte next season.
Tickets are going fast from what I see on Ticketmaster. Section I'm sitting in only has 2 or 3 tickets left.
Oh you bad boy didn’t use gamecock club
I'm reading on this board that some folks don't like the Belk Bowl or it's beneath us playin in the Belk Bowl or playing against Virginia...
I say bring it on... I want a Bowl game and beat an ACC team....
The best way to end the season and start another season playing in Charlotte and beat an ACC team...

Shoot no. They tried to stick me in some weird seats when I could buy my own on the 50 for $14 more.lol
UVA was a bad draw for y’all. Would’ve been better to get Miami or some other school with some type of football history (ie Michigan) Now you are in a no win situation. Everyone will expect you to blow out UVA (which I expect you will).
Preach it bro
Ok not throwing stones but i just need a yes or no answer . If I told you on Sept 1st That we would be playing Virginia in the Belk Bowl to end the season what would be your response ?? I for one thought we could really challenge UGA this year after the progress Muschamp showed last year . Maybe my expectations were just way to high at this point in the rebuild .
Las Vegas really expects a blow out, starting with us a 3.5 favorite. I just hope they don't come out of the gate flat. Some body please tell them to defer if we win the flip.
If it's a blowout (which it won't be) that's a good draw for us and the way we like it...lol.
Couldn’t be more wrong. I’ve been to the Belk Bowl
multiple times. It is well run, the stadium is comfortable. Belk is a great corporate sponsor. Charlotte kills Birmingham.
I already bought my club seats, they are going fast on Ticketmaster.
Their highest point total against ACC teams this year is 31. They only put up 16 on Indiana. You win by 14.
Back in the 1960's Clemson coach Frank Howard referred to UVA as "white meat". I think at one point CU had a 17 game winning streak vs them, could have been longer than that, but I know they beat UVA like a red headed rented mule.
You're missing the point... We just beat Clemson in 2009 and we were 7-5 with a 3-5 record... I believe we were hoping to go someone in Florida, not Birmingham....
The same can be said here where we thought maybe we could go to the Gator Bowl...
I know a long of fans were looking forward going to the Gator Bowl and end up playing in Charlotte, the same city we'll be back in 9 months starting the season....
Or could say the same thing like in 2010, going to Atlanta playing in the SEC Championship and end up going back to Atlanta 3 - 4 weeks later playing in the Peach Bowl....
Hopefully we get some of our defensive players back from injury or, if not, the young freshmen playing behind them get more comfortable running with the first team. In the secondary, I'm kinda hoping for the latter as they look a lot more athletic and are willing to make contact.
I would have taken it. My prediction at the beginning of the year was 7-9 wins....thought 9 was the best we would do assuming everything bounced our way like last year.
Just like the Akron game, LITERALLY the only thing that matters is winning your bowl. Unless you are in the playoff, nobody really cares and even if they do, only our fans will know which bowl we played in a week after it is over. We can win this game. We SHOULD win this game. That is good.
I’m happy with it seeing how he season turned out. Better than Birmingham where we would get another SF situation.
Great point. No excuse for the stadium to not be full of Gamecocks. It’s a short drive there and can drive back after the game. Plus a lot of Gamecocks in the RockHill area.
14 sounds about right. Here's how it will happen. We'll get ahead 24-10 about halfway through the 2nd half. Then neither team will advance the ball past the 50 the rest of the day. In our case, it will be self-inflicted with some turnovers.
This is one of the reasons I like playing bowl games, get another game under the belt for young players... And win it too....
I hope we can get these players who are saved for redshirt, play in the bowl games...
Yeah that’s about right . I really thought we could finally get KY but this is one of their best teams ever . Also , I thought TAMU would be ripe for the picking finally .. home game , first year coach etc etc . Just shows bigger , faster , stronger wins 90% of the time , same with Florida . Going in I thought 10-2 was possible but 3-9 could happen just as easily so I guess 7-5 is about right .
You’ll see similar predictions (10-2, 11-1, win the East) throughout the off season. After the first loss, people will be screaming again to immediately fire Muschamp and Tanner. And so it goes....
For me, the definition of progress next season will be beating at least 2 out of the following 4:
UGa, UK, ATM and CU.
There is no comparison to be made here with the Pizza Bowl. Belk>Papa John's, UVA>>UCONN, and for the love of God, Charlotte>>>Birmingham.
I don't understand the whining about playing in Charlotte twice in 9 months. Charlotte is a beautiful city that is an hour and a half away with plenty to do. We get to play in an NFL stadium. The majority of our fanbase won't even have to stay overnight if they don't want to. This is a no-lose situation.

There is definitely a winning scenario for him in this game. It's called score more points than UVA. You gonna turn your nose up at our 10th bowl trophy all time and an 8 win season?
If we had beaten Florida, we wouldn't be talking Belk Bowl....
We would be talking at Gator Bowl...
I see the point, but I'd argue it's still a decent draw for South Carolina. The game is at 12:30pm on a Saturday on ABC, so it will still get decent exposure, especially with no other competition in that time slot. It's close-by for Gamecock fans and recruits, and it's a game that South Carolina will be favored to win. Not convinced that playing a team like NC State in the Taxslayer Bowl would have been any better.
