Did Spurrier cause So Carolina to forget who they are?

When they joined the SEC in 1992, it was Florida and Tennessee at the top every year, Georgia was 3rd, South Carolina and Kentucky fought it out for 4th and 5th, with Vandy bringing up the rear. This was the case for most of the 90’s. Then Carolina hires two legendary coaches, Lou Holtz and Steve Spurrier. They improve under Holtz but explode under Spurrier to a consistent level they’ve never seen before. I think present day Carolina fans forget their norm is on UK’s level when they don’t have a legendary coach. Want further proof? Here is the South Carolina head to head results with UK since joining the SEC.
1992 - 2000 (UK 5 wins, SC 3 wins)
2000 - 2010 (SC 10 wins, UK 0 wins)
2010 - 2019 (UK 6 wins, SC 3 wins)
In conclusion, the problem at South Carolina is not Will Muschamp. The problem is their fans have forgotten who they really are. I’m just using the facts to back that argument up.

So many words.
Who are you trying to convince? Us or yourself?

If you have to include this in your troll post, you’ve probably already lost

You did us a favor, honestly.
Ripped the bandaid off the wound and the healing began instead of us slowly hemorrhaging to death.

I think Muschamp is a very good coach (Spurrier was too actually but I'll never admit it).
I hate Florida fans and their bullshite rhetoric now that Muschamp sucks. They're wrong and we're gonna beat their asses into submission.
I hope that y'all don't surprise us and beat us; that's the respect that I have for Muschamp.

I'm not sure what you're trying to argue.

I’m just saying there is a lot of people saying Muschamp should be on the hot seat, but based on the history of Gamecock football, he’s doing a decent job. You shouldn’t be any more embarrassed losing 5 games in a row to us than we were losing 10 in a row to you.

Not sure why a Kentucky fan is trying to troll Carolina fans. Just sayin. This isn't a basketball forum.

His point, which is absolutely correct, is that historically they are the same level program as Kentucky. But the only program getting glib remarks is UK ITT. I guess if we were just terrible at basketball like you and put up the same mediocre results both we and USC have, we'd have more street cred? Or Mizzou, who beat us their first 2 years in the SEC when we were going 2-10, and havent beaten us since? Because we werent also elite at something else? Thats fricking retarded.

I think he’s trying to say 2000-2010 is the exception, not the rule when it comes to S Carolina and Kentucky.

Ummmmmmmm, apparently you have some seriously deep-seeded issues going-on in your nugget. Is there anything that you want to tell us? ... other than the mess you just spilled all over everything above of course.

You can’t really make an entire decade an exception but alright

I'm not sure why a Georgia fan is bitching about Florida in a thread about Carolina written by a Kentucky fan?
Actually I am sure.

if you want to really compare the 2 programs to get a sense of where each belong in the SEC pecking order - do it while listing total # of SEC wins since 1992 ... if you dare.
also, Carolina has finished head of Kentucky in the East (including tie-breakers) 20 of 27 seasons.
USC's seasons listed on the left - UK on the right.
1992 1993
1994 1998
1995 1999
1996 2006
1997 2015
2000 2016
2001 2018
2002
2003
2004
2005
2007
2008
2009
2010
2011
2012
2013
2014
2017
by "decade" ...East standings finshes
92-99 = USC 5 of 8 seasons ahead of UK
00-09 = USC 10 of 10 seasons ahead of UK
11-18 = USC 5 of 8 seasons ahead of UK
it's more likely that you have "forgotten who Kentucky is" with your program's best-ever stretch of finishing ahead of USC 3 of the past 4 seasons.
