SDS,
What’s up with the South Carolina hype? This is absurd. They’ve won two games – one against Southern Miss and another against an overrated Georgia squad. You’d think they’ve already locked up the east.
I’ll admit Marcus Lattimore is a stud, but SEC teams will figure this out and load up against the run. Then let’s see Stephen Garcia win some games for them. I will like my odds against Garcia.
There are few teams like the South Carolina Gamecocks that know how to execute a choke job. 2010 will be no different. Trust me, there’s no way that the Gamecocks win the east.
Have you seen their schedule? It’s nuts. They lose at least 2 games, and probably more like 3.
After cupcake Furman, they goto Auburn then play Alabama. Can you say 3-2? Yeah, that’s not gonna cut it.
Sorry Gamecocks. 2010 isn’t your year. Unless you’re focused on being the best team in the state of South Carolina. In that case, you have a shot.
Sincerely,
SEC Fan
nice.
Don’t worry. This is nothing unusual. South Carolina has always been preseason #1 if you ask their fans.
I tend to agree with this, especially about Garcia. I just don’t think a Garcia led team can with the East.
I am a Gamecock-fan-2010season-skeptic, however even I have to admit to even the most die-hard fan friends, they do look unusually good this year, if one can make that assesment after only 2 weeks. If they are 4-0 after next week, I may not be convinced yet, but I’ll have to let my hopes swell a little.
What I am noticing is theier execution. Seems to be a notch higher than in years past. Physical fitness – playing 4 quarters – another new aspect to the Gamecocks, even for games 1 and 2.
As for Gamecock fans thinking their team is #1 preseason – if they thought any less – would they be fans?
In Williams Brice Stadium, no one can hear you scream.
