Caslen needs to go

Did Tanner hire Caslen?

Just wondering...

The stupidest thing about this slip-up is that even if he had said the correct word, it still would have been wrong.

He was going to say the University of Carolina. Wrong.
Instead he said the University of California. Even more wrong.

He won't, because none of you or anyone else will do what needs to be done. Its pretty simple actually. You show up in numbers to campus and not allow him into his office without a public spectacle. We find BOT member and make their lives such hell they want to leave the state. We organize student ticket turn ins, public cancelations of season ticket orders and walls outside of the stadium literally making a public hell for Tanner, this dip shite, Beamer and anyone else involved. We literally make a fricking list and make these peoples lives hell. Then we don't stop until we install leadership we actually fricking want.

I can stir this pot up just like I stirred the fire muschamp pot up on here. But it won't make a difference, because until we're on the news with a picture of all of these frick heads with red X's over them day in and out. NO changes will come.



I've spent a decade in my younger years tending bar. Anyone who has knows he was 1000% tipsy. You can see it clear as day.

What time was the commencement? I was wondering if he said California because he was drinking at California Dreaming beforehand.

I think a large part of our problem is that the pure ineptitude of our BOT and the meddling by the General Assembly in USC affairs hasn’t been that widely apparent to many Gamecock alumni, students, fans, and supporters until recently.

Most South Carolina natives know that politics and self-interested asshats have plagued our university for its entire existence, but it’s the out-of-state Gamecocks and alumni who generally are unaware of just how bad it is, and they make up a big part of our support base. I’m hoping the past few years have finally provided the media attention that we’ve needed to actually get some sort of movement going. We have always been a largely apathetic fanbase and student body.

Whether it’s McMaster jamming Caslen through, Caslen’s constant flubs, Darla’s scathing letter, Muschamp’s buyout, and our new medical facility being held hostage in exchange for Frank’s job security, there’s no shortage of examples of how our university is a shite show.

I’ve withdrawn all yearly donations to the school and athletics, so I can’t do anything more financially, but I’d happily participate in some sort of public event to voice my displeasure with the direction of the school and its decision makers.

This is also a problem, one which nobody at the university will talk about. Having 44% of your freshman class being from out-of-state is an absolute disgrace for a state school. It was half that less than 20 years ago. And therein lies the problem. If you come from somewhere else and go to USC, there's a high chance you leave after you graduate. You then don't vote in any of our state elections, which means USC issues aren't at the forefront. So the more out-of-state students we take, the less political influence we have. And with our piss poor football program and Clemson's multiple national titles, it's obvious who those not predisposed to support either team will root for. I will advise my children to never attend the University of South Carolina, and that saddens me.

Welp.

Starting to think getting in the faces of our BOT members isn't actually a bad idea. Bring back tar-and-feathering for these clowns.

Right, and the BOT rejected it.

One board member (who has incredibly been on the board since 1982), said that “I think we need to sit back and we ought to look into it.”

The board is completely out of touch with reality.

What’s the darla Moore letter?

---

She got really upset that no one from the school sent her any condolences regarding her mother's death. I believe she said she would stop giving to the school and regretted ever giving to the school - more or less.

Now, I don't know how I feel about that letter. It was as unnecessary slight and a completely unforced error on the school's part. But the letter also came off as a spoiled child who was throwing a tantrum because she didn't get the attention she believed she was entitled to.

Like no one in a school capacity or no one from the school sent anything in a personal capacity?

Not really the business of the school itself to send anything, but I can see why she would be fussy about certain people on an individual level not doing so. Of all the things to write a letter complaining about our University, this is meh.
