Could you do it? Never question the loyalty of a Gamecock fan - though I don't think anyone does.

Enjoy the win UTk and A&M. Ah hell everyone else too not named Vanderbilt.

Our last W is Vanderbilt. Already called it. I think I predicted 4-8, because why shouldn't we go 4-8 with these Ws?

Eastern Illinois
East Carolina
Troy
Vanderbilt

Easily could've lost to ECU and Troy too.

I could do it. I'm an Alabama fan because I was born and raised here in Tuscaloosa and although winning is everything, it also isn't the actual reason i love bama football. it's a lot healthier and far deeper than just the excitement of the ebbs and flows of wins and losses.

Being a fan can be masochism at times, no doubt. but it's really b/c it's a part of my (all of our) culture. fall time is crisp air filled with hickory smoke, good times, fair weather, great food, and time with friends.

pour me a bourbon, play with the dogs b/c the mosquitos are finally gone *not fking yet damnit*... and enjoy saturday!

Now that’s a stretch.

Atleast we were able to beat your daddy this year as well since you are so scared of them.

I know how much it pains Aggie fans for Arkansas and Texas to be much better than you.

Both athletic departments are also good at basketball and baseball

What do Aggie fans have to look forward to the rest of the year? Cheer leading practice??

Suck at football, basketball and baseball

Aggies are battling Mizzou for worst athletic department in the SEC

I realize it's not quite the answer you were looking for, but I enjoy the art of digression.

Shut the frick up

Though they may be down at 3-2, at least A&M has managed to notch a hard fought SEC win this season. That is difficult enough for any team.

Oops.

My bad.

Wasn't even trying to be rude or sound rude, that was nice to read. As I've gotten older I generally don't give a damn how South Carolina does on any given weekend. I've come to expect disappointment. So when and if we are ever decent again it'll be a nice surprise. Too old now at almost 34 to give a damn what some 18-22 year olds are doing on a football field. I enjoy it for what it is, and most of the time it's comical.

Absolutely. I think the whole thing is that sticking with one team and when that team finally makes it... it is joy indescribable. I'm nearly 40 and I went thru the Dubose, Shula, Franchione years getting from late highschool thru college. Those were some dark years for us.

I swear to god, every game dubose coached we set some negative record. Most sacks ever. most penalties ever. most points scored against us ever. longest streaks ended.... bad streaks begun. we got that teaser with Fran who had us on a good track... only to be mushroom stamped by shula taking back over for us.

never once had any desire to leave post.

Well I grew up a Carolina fan. While I remember the Jefferson Pilot Sports days and some games from the late 90s (particular USC @ UK when they had The Hefty Lefty), I mostly remember from the year 2000 and on from the back-to-back Outback Bowl victories over Ohio State (I was 12 in the year 2000). Then South Carolina was the only university I applied to in high school, and I graduated from there. Still live in the area. Even if I had gone to another school, I'd be a South Carolina fan first, then that team second.

I think it's that way for a lot of people, even if you never attended the school. My mom being from Ohio, her brother grew up a Buckeye fan but went to Oral Roberts and then Oklahoma law school. We talked once and it's like he doesn't even give a damn about the Sooners. He follows them, but he's still a diehard Buckeyes fan.

I don’t get the apathy by USCe fans. Y’all are 3-2 with a close game against UK and blowout to a very good UGA.

Beamer will do good there. Muschamp left a bare cupboard. I think y’all are actually over performing

It's because we have no offense. We need our defense/special teams to score 17+ a game to even have a chance, and that's not even enough.

We had a +3 TO margin vs UK and scored 10 points.

Mizzou and Vandy are terrible. That should get USC to 5 wins.

UT and A&M I give y’all 50/50 to win

Clemson ain’t shite either this year

I think USC gets to 6 wins
