During football season, my wife thinks I'm completely insane because of my many superstitions.

For Example,
"But honey, we CAN'T have chicken salad for lunch because the game isn't until 5 pm!!"
"You DO realize that your diet has NOTHING to do with the performance of the football team, right?"
"Yes....



...But I also don't want to take any chances..."

I remember growing up, my mom went upstairs to do something, we scored, she came back downstairs..and she was quickly banished back upstairs for the rest of the game. We won so it was worth it in everyones minds.


I believe that was in 2001, so I was young and got an early taste of superstition

LETSSSS GOOOO.


I keep thinking its going to end, but the guys keep it going.

Hey ultimate if you're going to start a thread on Cockytalk about us breaking a wmbb record could you at least tell us what the record is lol

South Carolina is about to go from being picked #14 in conference to being at least #14 nationally

Wed is a BIG game. After yesterday, I don't know what to think. Will Auburn roll over and pull a Kentucky, or will they be pissed off with something to prove and try and run us out of the gym. Haven't been this nervous about a B-ball game since we played in the final 4.

Reading this thread for the first time .... the wife and I were in Paris with the girls. We had a blast and so did they. Got to spend time with them, a lot of times at meals and sigh seeing .... the girls had it going-on from the get go.

You know, when Dawn is relaxed and away from all the BS and the limelight .... she's pretty fun to be around. She had a really good time in Paris.

Then there's the other Paris trip this season .... Lamont and his crew. No one saw this coming. All I know us that everyone is being careful not to jinx them. Plus we're hoping Chloe doesn't mess-up CMB.

Up to #11 in the Men's poll. Women stay @ #1.

The #11 Gamecocks play #13 Auburn in Alabama Wednesday.


Should be a good game, albeit a tough game. In my opinion if we win this one we would move up to a high 3 seed, maybe a 2 seed

---

Might be the biggest game of the regular season.

Bama beat us.

Auburn beat Bama.

If we be Auburn, at their place, 3-way tie for first with canceling tie breakers so it goes to the next tie breaker ... provided we all three finish with the same conference record.

But, more importantly, a win in Auburn gives us a huge bump in all the metrics ratings. Beat Auburn, take 2 of the remaining 5 ... we definitely pull a 5 seed or above.

Lamont Paris early contender for the Ohio State job.

Dear Ray Tanner:Don't mess this up....
