The State newspaper slams Hilinski Hope
- Thread starter Cocky 45
- Start date
With all due respect king, this is above winning or losing.
It should be perhaps, but it really isn't and it never is when losing sets in. You don't suppose this article would have been written had we won, do you? The correlation is inescapable. We are on our way to a calamitous season. Don't spend too much emotional energy on this article because the worst might be yet to come. The worst probably is yet to come. I would say we are on course for Both Hilinski and Bentley to transfer and for Doty to possibly decommit.
The state issued an apology to the school and Ryan’s family, claim the Hope connection was unintentional... Something about editors in Charlotte? Dumb...
Not defending the headline or excusing what happened, but newspapers have been cutting staff and consolidating into a central location (Charlotte for Columbia; Louisville for Greenville, etc.) for the past decade or more. Several newspapers are edited and/or designed daily by someone who quite often has never been in the communities the newspapers serve. They have no connection. It's just assembly line work they do for consumers they never see and never interact with regarding topics they don't have the same "feel" for that their audience does.
This is really, really stupid. I hope the editor is clueless (should still be fired) but if not, what a huge POS. Btw, Clemson fans I know don’t like The State either.
I think that what the State Paper did calls for more than one person to be fired. Flat out awful.
As for Clemson, Most starters played one quarter. 111 players played in that game. If you want stats padding, check out Nick Saban's MO
I can get over the annoyance of that company (the state paper) hiring children to stand in the middle of busy intersections selling their papers on weekends..... and placing salesmen in grocery stores to hustle shoppers into buying a subscription... You basically have to fight them off with a stick to be able to shop as they chase you around. That’s what they do in Columbia. it’s SO annoying. But now they are condoning suicide. WooooOw! What a shitty company.
And THE STATE PAPER already writes Hilinski off as a failure? The guy is a FRESHMAN QB who made some rookie mistakes in his first SEC away game. Who cares!!! Fans haven’t given up on Hilinski like the State Paper thinks we should. Again, what a crappy news agency. Want to make an apology? then make a positive difference for once by making a MAJOR donation to Hilinski’s suicide prevention campaign.

I don't buy that for one minute. These "journalists" (cough communists) know exactly what they are doing. They're doing it all over the country daily, hourly, by the minute. It's not an accident.
No, no they wont. They have character and will fight on like they should. You on the other hand.......................
Those dirtbags at The State have always had it in for this University. We have a similar left-wing rag paper here in Atlanta but they do manage to support the local sports teams.
He didn’t but for 2 series. He played 110 players, including 5 quarterbacks.
Problem now is we dont have journalists we have activists that will print lies and propaganda hoping to become the next Woodward and Bernstein and bring down a Republican president.
superfluous, redundant, but consistent with your style of posting
your Hilinski and Doty comments are uncalled for, "king"
Rants against The State are well deserved by them.
Now, if you really want to see them go away, call or send messages to the advertisers in the newspaper with your complaints. That will actually make something positive happen besides the suits in Charlotte continuing to carry on as usual.

This is a Hilinski family members reaction to the State
I hope Ryan succeeds.
Clueless paper, BOT, AD, Head Coach, etc...I'm truly not surprised...ignorance breeds ignorance.
I was on Facebook a couple hours ago and their apology already had 800+ comments from Pissed off fans. They are feeling extreme heat and rightfully so.
Great statement by the school. **** The state paper forever. I cannot wait until they shut down. Their death can't come soon enough.
Go get em General. Ban their asses from coming around the program.
Did I just become a Caslen fan? Aw $&@/ it, get em Cas!
Unless they turn out to be prescient and insightful. Consistency I will concede.
I've been fighting my whole life. As for your retort: could be, could be not. And what I wrote was not presented as any more than conjecture, as you very well know. Those eventualities all happening are unlikely, but not beyond the realm of possibility.
I don't think they were taking a swipe at the recent publicity about the Hilinski family and their struggles. Think it was purely a catchy sounding little headline totally about the deflation of the Hilinski balloon after a decent showing against Bama. Move on.
Hoping that headline did not cause the family pain. That said, there is no way any journalist would mock a charitable endeavor, especially one devoted to a critical mental health issue. Fault them all you will for being stupid and not knowing about the team they cover. That's fair. Hopefully, good comes from the bad. If this debacle did one thing, it raised awareness of Hilinski's Hope and its mission. Maybe someone out there who needs it will get help. Maybe someone out there who learns about it will donate. Lots of people on here suggesting that others should open their wallets. Let's all do it. I'm in.

Any insinuation or claim from them of ignorance is an absolute insult to the intelligence of us all. THEY ARE A NEWSPAPER. THE NEWS IS THEIR BUSINESS. How, on this earth, can they claim to not. Know. About. Hilinski's Hope and what it represents?!???! This is a horrendous look by the state (not that it shocks me), not matter how you (not you specifically, 'you' here in general terms) spin it.
With all of the silly crap I see on this Board, suggesting someone made a most unfortunate error could never insult the so-called "intelligence" of the "fans" here. It was a massive error. If intentional, then obviously heads should roll. I just don't have it in me to assume anyone would be that evil. I know the State has not been good to the Gamecocks, but still . . . .
