re: It's kind of fun being atrocious at football

As I have gotten older, I can only laugh at the state of our program. When I was actually attending Carolina, and in my youth prior - these kinds of things made me LIVID. If the Gamecocks lost, it would basically ruin my entire week ahead. I couldn't watch any other CFB the rest of the weekend if we lost.

Now that I'm 33, I just don't care. In fact, it's almost fun being this bad. I mean eventually we will probably get back to a 6-6 or 7-5 type program, which I am okay with. We will never be a consistently great program, there are just too many obstacles.

It's refreshing having this frame of mind in regards to a bunch of 18-21 year olds playing a sport I have no control over.

I'm about the same age and I can relate to this. I laugh at anyone who suggests that we would be better off in the Big 12 or Big Ten because we would win more there. We haven't won shite since 1969 so we might as well get paid and be in the most exciting conference. Upsetting LSU, Georgia, or Bama once in awhile is a hell of lot more exciting than thumping Illinois or Kansas State.
