.... the game sucked. Kentucky fans sitting around us during the final 7:00 minutes made me want to fight ... but other than that it was a good trip. Good flight going up, took us about an hour to fly back. Just got home a little while ago.
Great restaurants and I won a little money over the weekend.
Had a bad omen when we got to our hotel and it was on Tiger Way.
Been pretty much drunk every since.
Won a little money at Keeneland though and thought it was going to be my lucky weekend.
Kentucky fans before, and after, the game were good. As always, enjoyed the trip up there. Got cold during the game as it always does when we go up there. Seems like it always the first cold game of the season which is probably why ... no it's not the reason, but we always seem to play lethargically up there.
Friend from Heaven Hill brought us liquor, hats and Fighting Cock belt buckles.... I need to find way to send y'all some of these belt buckles.
Have yet to watch a replay of the game but can only imagine that it must have sucked as bad watching it on TV as it did in person.
We were running the fricking football. Our defense sucks. How hard is it to know what to do?
Owell. Thankful for the week off. Heard on the way home tonight that there is going to be a change at one starting LB spot and one spot on the OLine but that there is not much left to do with the secondary for now. David Williams and Conner Mitch will both see a lot more playing time against Furman ... guaranteed. Or so they've been told.
We're also in danger of losing a recruit out of Georgia but he did not know the name. Everybody else is hanging with us .... for now.
Spurrier believes .... well, dammit, I promised not to repeat the secondhand quote but lemme think .... thus team has "winner" issues and lacks leadership on the field. I think I can say that and get away with it. There is going to be a team meeting. May have already happened by the time I am posting this - if not, it is about to.
Also, no blame for Thompson ... just play calling errors because Kentucky had made adjustments that were snuffing our running game.
This season is in serious danger of falling apart. We were outside the stadium talking to someone when the players came out to load the bus and there is obviously something not right ... something not being taken seriously and with urgency.
I think we've got to make at least one, maybe two, asst coaching changes. Something is not right with the chemistry on the D side of the ball among the coaches. That's all I can say about that.

If Will Sport isn't the change on the Oline I will legit start breaking shite.

My money is on Dante Sawyer being the recruit we're about to lose.... Or maybe there's a surprise flipper.. Who knows. 18-year-olds are flakey.

Key seems particularly flaky... So I'd put my money on him.

I dont think whoever it is will be the last

I dunno who it is ... but we're going to lose one.
Whammy is supposed to be going to the box too ... per Spurrier's orders.

rooster, are these 2 assistants whammy broke up still on the coaching staff? Or did one of them get let go/leave after last season?

I'm glad it only took a 13 point and a 14 point choke job for Spurrier to find this deficiency.

They're still here. But, as far as their little fued goes, they got over that moment shortly after it happened.

Well ... it happened: https://sports.usatoday.com/2014/10/09/gamecocks-hold-playersonly-to-clear-air/
If you haven't read that - it's pretty vanilla.
Now for the rest of the story.
From what I understand there are still some issues that only winning are going to fix.
And we're going to be running the ball a bunch more.
Some of the younger guys are stepping-up too and becoming more vocal - because, evidently, the older guys, (other than one or two), were not getting it done in the leadership department.
ETA: There are some respect issues. Some of the younger guys are out-working some of the older guys. There is a claim that some of the older guys are just waiting to declare, blah blah blah whatever ... but it makes sense.
This is turning-out to be a transition year. The chemistry mantra thing - that was all hogwash obviously. Now they've got their backs to the wall and it's "sink or swim," direct quote.
