I am so flippin' tired of the posters complaining about our bowl assignment and/or opponent. The constant whining from the "glass is half empty" crowd gets really old.
1. We're going bowling -- Our team (players and coaching staff) worked hard for it. Our team earned it. Our team deserves it. They also deserve our support regardless of who, when, or where. They don't deserve complaints about what they achieved. Try to enjoy it.
2. The location is convenient -- Most any fan from the state of SC can easily make it there and back in the same day. It's a lower-cost alternative compared to some of the other options that we could have been given.
3. It's a chance for redemption -- Yes, we're going to Charlotte to face North Carolina again. Not too long ago, we would say "bring it on" and then proceed to beat their arses. Most long-time USC fans consider UNC to be a rival and know how good it feels to beat them in any sport. Grow up and grow a pair. Learn to face the competition.
4. It's a chance to finish with a winning record -- The previous few years have been frustrating and the losing records embarrassing. Of course the fans and the team are not where we want to be record-wise. But we are clearly heading in the right direction compared to recent seasons and we have a chance to add another game to the win column. Plus, this gives us the opportunity to build off extra practices, etc.
I could go on, but I know it would only give the perpetually negative people more opportunities to find something to pick apart and complain about. You all must live miserable lives.
