re: Is it fair that the Texas Aggies get to play South Carolina every year?

This topic is a nice lead in to USC's program. Texas A&M really shows exactly WHY the Gamecocks continue to flounder. Only time will tell if it was a good decision, but aTm demonstrated the willing to open up the checkbook and offer ridiculous money for what is considered one of the top active coaches in the nation. They have clearly demonstrated that they want to win in the SEC and they want to win now! As long as USC continues with retreads or washed up old timers they will continue to wallow in mediocrity.

Sometimes I think the Gamecocks are just simply happy to be in the SEC. At some point beating your chest and shouting SEC SEC just isn't good enough. When every program now has these lavish facilities to swoon athletes then everything reverts back to your school and location having to stand on what it is.....

As devoted and committed as the USC fan base has been over the decades, they need to become more intolerant to the status quo and stop expecting to lose.

Of course, as a Clemson fan I am happy with USC maintaining the status quo, but I am try to offer a fair thought.
