Is the Swamp a tough place to play? Yes.

Can South Carolina lose in the Swamp? Absolutely.

Is the reason South Carolina may lose in the Swamp because they haven't won in the Swamp a lot? NO! That's retarded.

I'm not trying to hype up South Carolina here. Better reasoning would be "The swamp is always a tough place to play". Not "Well here's how the shitty South Carolina did in the Swamp, surely that will be the case again!"

The rationale is that all week leading to AU game, USCe players will have to hear about how they don't beat AU. All week leading to UF, they will have to hear about how they don't win in the Swamp. It can affect a team mentally is my argument. Not that what happened when Spurrier played QB for UF will physically matter. Rather, how many times in one season can they "get up" to bunk a historical trend that the talking heads jam down their throat?

If you disagree with the mental effect, then fine. That's your opinion and I'm not going to call you a dumbass or stupid or dense for having it. But UGA fans lived it against UF in 2002, 2003, and 2005 when we had the better teams but couldn't get over the Cocktail Party mental hump.

It's not retarded actually. The best predictor of the future is to look in the past. That's common in many areas of life.

But I think USC wins. Just saying you're wrong about the whole past thing, generally speaking.
