it is quite obvious that nothing much

has changed in spurriers 5 yrs at carolina. i know the facts as they seem. we are young, we are inexperienced..etc...at some point this stuff has to change..i am one of those guys that have been waiting 40 yrs for next year.."next year will be better, we will have more experience, yadda yadda"..there is no fixin that offensive line by next year, or two years after because those guys just dont have it.

this loss was more about toughness than anything. tennessee flat kicked ass. they played faster and hit with more verocity. Spurrier better change his philosophy about hitting in practice. Maybe if we really were physical in practice the coaches could see how poor we tackle and how bad of angles we take..the coaches could also see quicker who couldnt handle being in the games..

garcia can improve all he wants but until he isnt scared to death back there it will be same ole same ole..i know we are recruiting lots of ol in this next class, but they are all out of hs..we need new ones NOW.

I read somewhere that one of our STARTING OL couldn't benchpress as much now as he did in high school. Something under 300 pounds or so. That ain't gonna get it done in the SEC. That's barely lifting your own weight.

We'll never win unless and until we can take care of all the details. Spurrier has done a great job on so many things but we were so far below the standard, it's a joke. That's why no one thinks we'll ever win the SEC.

What the Gamecocks need is HEART! They play like little girls! They hit like sissy boys! That game last night was really hard to watch!

it is what it is. You aren't going to do much better than spurrier. You could however do much worse. Sc is still a pretty good team and yall are set up to be pretty good over the next few years. Keep ur head up gamecocks.

As soon as I saw that it was raining last night at the game I said to my friend "this isnt good for us" and apparently I was correct. Those 3 fumbles, along with the INT which we should have caught....and other passes were dropped. Our guys just didnt deal with the weather very good at all! I think overall we played alright, but just those 3 fumbles were the mistakes that cost us the game. We're a decent team, but we play in the best conference in the league. So if we're decent, we cant make several mistakes and still expect to win. We're not that good. FL and AL can do that, but we certainly can't. Watching all those fumbles early on was tough. But we need to forget this and look on to next week. Our next 3 games are all going to be tough and we need to play mistake free...and hopefully it wont be raining!!! JD

We outgained them in offense and Garcia had another 300 yard passing game but those 3 first half fumbles ruined any chance we had of winning that game. All credit goes to the Vols for making us pay for our mistakes. That one sucked big time. Hopefully we can regroup and play a good game against Arkansas next week.

^I guess it's gonna take another five years till folks realize it's not just somebody playing better or not playing good enough, it's the "ole ball coach" who is past his prime by a decade.

One quick question----for a major university with 20,000+ students, can we not find someone who can kick the ball off further than the 20 yd line? If something is not done to stop giving our opponents the ball at the 30+ yard line, we are in even worse trouble---CJ Spiller will be awarded the Heisman based on his single game statistics against us

When we play Clemson I think Yates should just kick it out of bounds and take the penalty. I'm cool with it.

On the road in the rain, win the coin toss, AND WHAT??? We take the ball on the opening kickoff BAD BAD MISTAKE ! OUR D SHOULD HAVE HAD THE CHANCE TO STUFF TENN DEEP EARLY ON.
Politicians should be required to wear uniforms like NASCAR. At least the TAXPAYERS would know who their corporate sponsors are !
