Aikenrooster Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 The mighty Roosters of South Carolina begin the season on Thursday, September 1, on the road, in a very important divisional and conference game against the Vanderbilt Commodores.

Dread Pirate Robert Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) Normally I would have started this thread myself before you did. But after the absolutely pathetic season for my SC Gamecocks last year, I am not finding it easy to muster much enthusiasm about CFB going into this year. Plus, the evil Tiggers are ranked 2nd to start the season. Phooey. Edited August 26, 2016 by Dread Pirate Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, the evil Tiggers are ranked 2nd to start the season. Phooey.We'll have a great defense before long. Muschamp has had great defenses everywhere he has been. But, will we have an offense? Muschamp says the offense is Kurt Roper's deal, and he is staying out of the way, and only wants to know what the overall strategy is, for the game, so that he can plan his defense. We got great coaches who have instilled a blue collar work ethic I to the program. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aikenrooster Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 There are some videos, produced by "The State" newspaper, I believe, called "Gamecocks Confidential: Forever To Thee", which, you can watch on YouTube, of you get a chance today.There are 4 of them, so far, and they're a documentary type series which highlight the new coaches, show off the new facilities, spotlight certain players, and follow the timeline from the arrival of Coach Boom! until now. They're in HD, very well produced, and chock full of information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will give you an A for effort in trying to put the best possible spin on this. But sorry, having to come back from 0-10 at halftime against Vanderbilt to eke out a 13-10 win (with help from a Vandy missed field goal late in the game) is nothing to get excited about, no matter where the game was played. The fact that Vanderbilt was favored to win this game in itself speaks volumes. No decent team should ever be an expected underdog against Vandy.

Dread Pirate Robert Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 That was not a fumble it was a goddam lateral pass I didn't see it. Was mostly watching the SC - Vandy game. Regardless of the official final score, Tennessee fans must be freaking out over that game. Much hyped Tennessee should plummet in the rankings. The number 9 team in the country they most definitely are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert, we're gonna be OK, man. 1/2 the teams will be 0-1 after this weekend. We're not in that half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjbear05 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 At least we had some games so far, along with the usual start of the season doormat beatings (e.g Michigan v Hawaii, Miami v FAMU, etc.). Notre Dame v Texas tonight and FSU v Old Miss Monday to close the weekend, hope those are decent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
