quote:indeed.
They act like they're the most loyal fans around, then complain and trash the team and the coaches the first time things go wrong
Carolina fans (the sane & the lunatic fringe) are having to deal with 'what comes after' ...the success of Spurrier's 4 year run on a national stage. behaviors/patience will never be what it was before those seasons.
the knee-jerk fringe wants USC back to winning 11+ games in short order. the rest of the fan base is willing to give Muschamp some time. everyone saw the UGa game this year as the first best chance since SOS left put the program back into the national dialogue.
Unfortunately, UGa is performing at a level they've never been in their entire history. win or lose, that game was never gonna be a long-term barometer for how much Muschamp has accomplished in restoring Gamecock football to what is was as recently as 2013.
as for Rooster's concern in his OP about negativity - the SC "media" (term used loosely) - knows exactly where to look to find their needed Gamecock "fan of choice" to continue a fabricated narrative of ~ gloom, despair & agony ~ it was tasked with hanging around Carolina's neck like a noose decades ago.
hell, today's "journalists" actively cultivate it. social media has only made their job easier, all the while allowing for more exposure to their plight.

How does that quote go?
It's like a horrible car wreck, you want to look away but you can't.

True, from Herman Helms to Joe Person with several in between and to include Ron Morris, and to include Mick Mixon and to some degree Phil Kornblut, although their medium is totally irrelevant anymore these days, there was an overt attempt to do that imho.
These days it's more about social media no doubt.
I think Josh and the guys over at The State have actually gotten a lot better about being good sports journalists. And the radio guys on 107.5 are pretty good too, at least the 4-7PM time slot with that guy, he's excellent.
It's social media ginning-up a lot of the crap. Plus, I am absolutely convinced, it's a few taterheads masquerading as Gamecock fans. They've been doing it forever and they're never going to stop. They did it with letters and postcards back in the day ... emails and BBS posts and twitter just made it easier for them.
