Basketball fans care about the Big East more than the SEC and Marquette being in the Big East they care.

Is Marquette a known Basketball school? yes. anyone who disagrees, including fellow gamecock fans, are fools. DWade, Doc Rivers etc didn't come out of nowhere. That being said, to play devil's advocate, beating them this year when they are clearly nowhere near the level that they usually are at and hanging your hat on that win is foolish as well.

I'LL GO FURTHER:

CFM is a really good coach and with time I think USC can become a consistent NCAA tournament team. The arena is very nice and I hope the SEC and NCAA will consider hosting games there soon.

We told Cock fans(literally) that Frank was a very good coach, can recruit, and gets a lot out of his kids.

We also told Arkansas fans that Suit Case was not what they were hoping for, buyer beware, Suitcase=40 minutes of fraud, not hell. Of course, MU fans jealous, lol

We also knew Kim Anderson would be the nail in the coffin for our bball program. And so it is!

How long till Womens Softball???? Ewf

Bama fans now celebrating and parading the fact that they beat a Gamecock team that nearly every fan base on here has started a thread about regarding how much they believe we actually suck.

That's sad, Bama.

New lows and all that.

Anything like that, from Howland or Cal, is generally coach speak. I've seen Cal talk up other teams like that, especially in the SEC, to try to get the SEC some more notoriety. He really turns it up in February/March when it effects who gets in and seeding.

That all said, USCe isn't a bad team. Martin isn't a bad coach. No one who isn't outright trolling has said that. What people have done is called out the strength of schedule when there were daily threads about an undefeated USCe team being the best in the SEC.

You can call it hating I guess.

I'm one of the few non-South Carolina fans that has defended your season. All I'm referring to is Marquette-South Carolina.

You're a wise fellow. Yes,South Carolina is having a much better season than Marquette in '16. But surely you agree that historically Marquette is revered head and shoulders above South Carolina. There were some great games between the two in the 1970's in the immediate aftermath of South Carolina's departure from the ACC in the nomadic period before joining the Metro. Marquette's McGuire would get the best of South Carolina's McGuire but they were good, if not wild, fight marred games nonetheless.

Damn. I didn't realize the Gamecocks on this board bothered me so much I have to post in every thread that might even remotely pertain to them.


Well, I suppose you got me there. This post does bother me.

I don't post in every SC thread. I barely flame Carolina anymore. I'm trying to get the target off my back.

Well to be honest the bottom line is this. Even with SOS ppl still expected Carolina to be garbage. Except there 18-2. People hate being wrong. So instead of saying we got this one wrong maybe pundits are going to cling to every excuse they can from now till the end of Carolinas season to take a dig at them. That's all it is.

We will win every game we have left. DWI. We are the best team in the SEC. It's just a fact. Suck it if you don't agree. Have fun watching us in the final 4. Losers

I guess I better start praying and atone for all my sins.

Although...hell being run my a sex-crazed demon nurse does sound kind of awesome. I guess that's why I have a spot in hell for myself, huh?
