Will we hear about a Dec 1 game this week?

[ExpatCarolinian]

We may need it for bowl eligibility. Just checked and Marshall is 1-0 in C-USA play, so still in play for their championship game.

Needs to be an FBS team since we already have an FCS team on the schedule.

Why put us through another painful experience. Let’s take our annual azz whoppin by CleMson and call it a season

 

[SmokinStokesBBQ]

It's probably a positive the Marshall game was canceled. The way they are playing would likely be a loss or very close win

 

[rockingamecock]

What damn difference does it make?

100% agree. The fewer opportunities this team has to take the field, the better. Minimize the pain.

Unfortunately next season always comes.

Yippee we can play in the weedeater bowl. That should fire up the fan base

I sure hope not... Let the season end please...

 

[jeff2001]

3 SEC games and we are out of the east title chase. But I dont know if the SEC will let us put a game on DEC 1 right now.

 

[midline]

Guarantee you that behind the scenes they are desperately searching for some D1 punching bag that they can pay enough to come to Columbia to take a beating. Fan base is desperate enough. Last thing they need is to not be bowl eligible for a bowl because they were one win short

Yep, and after we get stomped by the taters. There wont be 50,000 at the stadium.

So.....Coach Tanner said last week we were holding that date open hoping "we might be playing in Atlanta that week".....Newsflash: we don't have that problem to worry about any more. Now it looks like we probably need to keep that date open because we won't be going to a bowl anyway. Let's just get the season over with. We probably couldn't get our stadium half full for a Dec 1 game. Let's get a refund for those Marshall tickets.

but it will give us more practice time for our young guys. Yea right......

bingo We have a winner.

 

[uscg1984]

Does Muschamp's contract contain incentive bonuses for winning 6 games and going to a bowl? Gamecock fans surely don't care anything about a 12th game against a punching bag team, played a week after Clemson hangs 50 on us. So who does?

If we have to play a 12th game to get to 6 wins. We HAVE to do it.

Old Dominion?

Waited all year for football and were already miserable. God why did I have to be born a Gamecock?

 

[ExpatCarolinian]

Even if it is the weed eater bowl or we end up back in Birmingham in December, it is still a bowl game. Helps in recruiting to say we’ve been in 3 straight bowl games. And yes, extra practice is important.

Maybe attendance would be helped if it was not televised. I doubt the SEC would want us competing with Atlanta that day anyway.

 

[kethdredd]

We need the game to get to a bowl. Those extra practices are vital for player development

 

[robertfootball]

Where is the 6th win going to come from? We've only won 2. Count UT-Chattanooga and still the December game and we are short. Don't say Tennessee, they would have beaten us last night.

We can still beat Tennessee. Yes, I suppose we could lose to them as well.

Maybe Ole Miss? Mizzou?

 

[67gamecock]

GAWD! NO! Stop it! End the torture after the Massacre In The Valley!

RT might actually realize things are not going well for football if we don't go to a bowl, since bowl eligibility is the only measure he seems to care about.

Well, that and winning the "Palmetto series"(whatever that is).

Why not. Taint nobody gonna be watchin' or care.

No. I think all the high schools will still be busy.

It doesn't matter if we need to 12th game to get to 6. WE DO IT. period

well said...I can remember going to W/B and rooting for fla state. My brother turned me into a gamecock fan. I may never forgive him.

USC football > high school football. The stadium belongs to the university, not the SCHSL.

Very sure Muschamp will be pushing for it. He knows what the opportunity for a 6th win will mean for his program, even if fans are pissed today after the KY debacle.

And optimistically, let’s say we get the 6th win well before Dec 1, we would still need the win to move up the bowl pecking order. Maybe could be the difference between Birmingham and Charlotte. Or dare we dream, Florida.

Still a lot of football to play.

Thought someone said that the High Schools has pushed the completion of the season back one week due to Hurricane.

Playing in Atlanta? Hell they might schedule GA Tech

 

[midline]

As far as the needed 12th game, I suppose the only upside to the when deal would be the extra practices. I really can't see the fan base being the least bit excited about playing in some jack leg bowl in around Christmas.

 

[Gamecockben1979]

Looking forward to that SC State game on Dec 1

 

[Rod Dangerfield]

Look for the SCSU Bulldogs to roll into Columbia for a nice pay day!!

 

[Legendary Cock]

You beat me to it. Looking at the remaining schedule and seeing how we bad we play against anyone with a pulse, I'm not seeing 3 more wins.

 

[Gamecockben1979]

Ga State is more like it. Turner field is open.

 

[ExpatCarolinian]

ECU at NC State now set for Dec 1. ECU could have been an option for us since they lost a road game due to the hurricane. Also fits the same profile as Marshall, FBS group of 5.
