I'm so annoyed by this team that I am being very vocal yes. It's called self-deprecation. It's a defense mechanism.

It's just weird that we dont see you on this board much until now. Not saying its nefarious, but I feel like if you were posting with us when we were winning in all our sports then the self deprecating thing would land better. If that makes sense.

I changed my username from SCgamecock2988

Or maybe you aren't even talking about that since you can see my join date and post count. I post in our board sometimes, but unfortunately I am usually pretty vocal on the negative side and post less so other times.

If there is a reason to be negative air it out but don't hold out on any of the positives either.

Paris has a Top 25 ranked class coming in next year. We have seen both Arden Conyers and Z. Davis make improvements in their game since last year.

This team is hurting due to lack of a good PG.

Paris also made the Dance in his 2nd year which is also a positive.

There are positives if you just open your eyes or you can be the type of poster that only wants to bitch about the negatives.

You know there are enough Gamecock posters on the Rant that could actually make a decent SC board. I've tried making threads with recruiting news and NIL updates but it's like no one gives a f*ck. We have more Mods than we do regular posters on this board. So maybe you and leftycock are right that all anyone gaf about is bitching.

Sorry about my Rant but I was outside at 330am chasing coyotes out of the yard. Hopefully there will be some positive news for Gamecock fans to enjoy one day.

Yeah, I didn't like having my birthday in my username anymore.

And SOS it wasn't meant to be calling you a coward, just us as a collective on the team board not posting our results.

I'll try to be more vocal on positive results. When we get our first win I am going to make so many threads.

We really do, I think they lurk the board at the least. I just know at times we have the most depressing fans. When a game starts going a little sideways (football, basketball, baseball) our fans will call game...say its over, and I dont particularly understand it. I do just hope they enjoy the good times because in our history it's rare as hell.


I think you, me, lonnie, CNB all have our fun on the main board and go toe to toe with any fanbase....we are just low in numbers out there. I mean heck we have gone toe to toe with that entire LSU fanbase for going on a year and a half now

I’m not seeing the image or whatever was posted with the quotes, but I did say “no need to be cowards” referring to us as a collective and didn’t say ‘no need to be a coward.’ But yes, I did say you were still around active in the thread and not updating the op so the insinuation was there. My apologies.

Anyways… if anyone’s familiar with ESPNFC and Craig Burley, well… I’m going to the positivity corner now.

And another close loss.

We have a good class coming in but it's not , on paper, good enough to keep up with the rest of the conference.

Gamecock women take out Auburn.

Dawn has her program at such a level that if we don't win by 30 I think we played bad.

I was definitely not in the positivity corner on Saturday eve. In fact, I was fairly wasted.

On to Kentucky I guess.

My favorite are the "What's going on with South Carolina?" media tweets/posts when we're only up 10 at halftime and end up winning by 15-30 in the end
