damn my buddy is up to #5 right now
Both interestingly have ties to Carolina.


Bam dates Aja (Gamecock), and Tylers younger brother played at Carolina for a year (was a scrub)


I imagine Tyler was shite talking SC since his brother couldn't hack it, and Bam was defending us. Thats the head cannon I am going to go with without reading any articles.

Top 80 will get him at least 100K


oh I know. I keep freshing as well as looking at the payout structure. Once he gets to that 89th spot it starts jumping quick! With him at 42, if he held there its a 215k payday, which isnt bad.

But surely its nice to be able to play free knowing you're in the money, and at this point probably up on the entire series.

I have a friend still in it. He is sitting at 42 with 73BB. Not a bad pay day so far but it could get really sweet in about 100 places

You being in a conference that had soccer and it being a cheap sport to maintain so it probably didn’t get cut is a stupid take? Y’all need to drop that acc Jan Brady schtick, like you said it was forever ago.


How do you cut a sport that SC didnt play? So yes it was a stupid take because a simple search shows our program was founded several years after left....


And we don't need to drop anything. frick the ACC
quote:


Usce makes sense they came from the acc which sponsors soccer. I imagine it’s not an expensive sport to fund. Which brings me to my next question, Texas doesnt have soccer? That is very surprising to me being a sec newb and massive school that takes directors cup seriously


We came from being an independent....Our previous coach who quit just a few years ago was the club soccer coach when it transitioned from a club sport, which it did years after we left the ACC

This. It's arguably the biggest stonewall against major success in the men's side of the sport.


I disagree. I believe a bigger issue is that we price kids out of a sport that they arent sure they want to do. Youth soccer is huge, but it is expensive as hell. Arguably youth basketball is moving that way, and youth baseball is already there.

Trader pos no one knows losing like the gamecocks


Trader? I don't think I mentioned any trades...Oh you meant "Traitor". I don't think being honest about the current state of American sports is being a traitor. If you want to live in an echo chamber where you tell yourself we are the best at everything then that is only going to make you bitterly disappointed when we stop winning things.

Fact is we own a majority of the best sports leagues, but those leagues are being filled with more and more foreign players who can compete at the highest level. We don't run Basketball, Baseball, Tennis, sprinting, etc like we used to and that is just a fact.

And there is no debating that a common sports topic every fall/winter is teams tanking for draft picks. It does create a loser mentality and that also is just a fact
quote:


I don't know when he said it, but him saying "American Sports Rewards Losers" is a bunch of bullshite.


you're taking it out of context but he is correct, and we have major conversations about tanking all the time.


Without relegation teams do go into loser mentalities

Also all those sports you mentioned have seen a rise in other countries challenging the US. Ex, the best NBA players are foreign. The best hockey players are foreign, and the best baseball players are foreign.

Iran is bombing non military ships because they are throwing a hissy fit. Wtf, are you talking about? You think that Iran are the good guys in the situation. TDS has broken you from being rational.


and TDS has kept you from being honest about how mismanaged this has been, and how much youve been lied to by this admin.

They told us Iran was begging to make a deal, they told us they wiped out their military, and yet here we are. So maybe they are throwing a hissy fit that Trump attacked their country unprovoked, but we would do the same (see 911)

Mormons, while good people, are defined as a cult by most Christian religions.


They objectively arent good people....They may come off as nice, but they are corrupt and slimey.
Mormons are as christian as Muslims are. Both believe that jesus is real, but a prophet is more important. Both hold women back. One is violent, and one is fricking annoying.


Mormons arent christian.
From an entertaining standpoint

DJ Swearinger
Stephen Garcia


From a really good standpoint
JD Clowney
Marcus Lattimore
Connor Shaw
I mean it has to be Coach O with Joe Burrow....right? I mean I guess you could also discuss the other stars they had, but O was awful without them

You are catching Nike on a decline from a product standpoint imo. There just aren't many good options right now.


because nobody has money to drop on $80 polos and $50 shirts from any of the apparel companies.
I oddly thought this was going to be about Mark Stoops
This is great to see. I was told back in 2010-2013 that the SEC was way down because SC was competing...
Torian Gray one day should get a look.
You dont want UNC or any of Tobacco road

ehh dont say that. Ray Tanner had a 56-6 team playing in a super vs Lousiana Layfette .....and we lost.


But along came 2010 and 2011 who won a title
