ATLGamecock21

I stopped at Yankee(pig)...thanks for participating. See you in Sept.

212 is the area code for NYC (917 is a little known alternate). 917 is the name of the video production company that produced the video. Anyway, the usual suspects on this board full of hate - why I am I not surprised. Young man has a lot to prove for sure. I hope he puts in the work to prove himself.

One thing is certain - Gamecocks will have more legit play makers in '22 than any time in recent memory. The OL has to be better and more consistent. Disagree about Rattler freaking out against SEC defenses. He has a ton to prove if he is going to be an NFL high draft pick. He has more arm talent than anyone we have probably ever had. If the OL and OC can get the most out of this injection of talent we have a shot to hit the 9 win level (even if in a bowl game).

Doesn't count - he didn't call glass. J/K what an ending - nice win.

Congrats to Dawg Nation - finally slew the dragon. Also, a great storybook tale for SBiv.

This dude is a dude! Will bring experience and some much needed swag to the DB room. I don't think those boys will playing scared with this hoss in the room. Motor City Madman 2.0.

Had a bunch of D5 offers in the portal. Big get. Will balance the field with Vann and open underneath for Stogner and Bell and the RB's. Dang good win here.

Raise your hand if today was the first day in the history of the universe you ever knew there was a place called Ohio Dominican. I swear I had to read that paragraph 3 times because my brain kept thinking Old Dominion.

No problem. You either lead, follow, or get out the way. LSU led and showed what men do when the odds are stacked against them. Sorry for the situation you all had to deal with - here is to better days!

Still have some work to do in the portal at WR, OL and LB (maybe RB too). Just keep building depth and get the roster back to credibility. The future is bright. The effort and passion were restored in year zero (Shane and staff were not in town till mid Jan.). Work on depth and consistency next season and see where we wind up.

Kudos to LSU (players and staff) for showing up and playing the game even though they knew it was a tough spot. Unlike some others who had the same issues and bailed out of their commitments rather than risk taking a beating - you know who they are.

Transfer Portal. Like the concept. But this is total insanity. Let's put some guidelines on this thing. NCAA has no power to do it - so not sure how it get's done. Once a year after Bowl Season? Maybe a starting point.

Agreed, would be a great pick-up. BUT, he is from Arizona and reportedly has a newborn daughter in Arizona. My guess (sadly) is Arizona. Best of luck to him. Hope it all works out for him.

Giving Kirby another 5* QB reminds me of the old saying "throwing pearls before swine" (no offense to my Hog brethren). It would be like giving me the keys to a micro-biology laboratory - what the heck am I supposed to do with this?!

97 5*'s? We aren't greedy...I'll take 9 or 7 or even 2 or 3!? "If you built it, he will come." - Ray Kinsella

Jimbo ComeOnMan you have a week and a roster full of 4 and 5 stars. I know. I know 8-4 isn't great and 8-5 would be worse. But what are you thinking?! Oh that's right, you don't want the world to see what we in the SEC already know. Great recruiter, great salesman, average coach. Good luck to the ATM crowd you bought it - you own it.

No problem with a kid changing his - perfectly understandable. But why is the player on the phone with his Mom at 11pm the night before gushing over how great it is that they found and home and how happy they are and then in less than 12 hours they have sent in the NLI to a different school and are on a video with that other coach saying "go terps sounds way better than go cocks" and laughing her butt off about it with the coach. Shane said 10 minutes after that 11 pm call "someone in the know" (who may be the only one up there with a conscious) called him to tell him it was a set-up for a flip the next day. If it was a straight out change of mind, you call or at least text Shane to say I decided to stay close to home no hard feelings good luck. That never happened. Good luck young man - you will need it.

Not sure of the #'s either. But, Gamecocks should at least get an honorable mention.

No arguments from this Gamecock fan. I was as shocked as Mullen and "didn't see this coming" either! Can we sustain that type of effort this week at Mizzu? No idea. Hope so!? If we could win and go bowling that alone would exceed my expectations for this year. After that playing with house money against AU and Clemson both at home. Who knows - but there is hope now!

No idea what USC-1 is talking about!? Pretty sure alcohol was involved - apologies offered. Thanks for your thoughts. Shane was a slow sell for me too during the hiring process. But since it has been a very refreshing change. We have hope - for the first time in a very long time. I hope we can maintain the new found offense and get another win or two and go bowling it would far exceed my expectations.

Surprised that no one mentioned that there is a coach in the SEC that recruited and coached him at OU. Beamer. Not that the idea of having him at South Carolina stirs my dreams at all. But would seem to at least be worthy of a mention.

To my eye he seems to be running more upright and a bit stiff compared to last year. Given his off season back procedure understandable. Up to the coaches to get him in run formations to give him a shot as getting some traction before being hit. Which this year has not happened with any regularity. Agree, we need a FB or TE to help be a lead blocker to give him time to find a hole. OL - you are in my prayers!

I feel your pain brother. We at South Carolina suffered through some disheartening defensive performances under Muschamp. Poor, poor tackling and the worst just flat out quitting. I joked with a buddy that Mizzu must have gotten a seminar from Muschamp on tackling and effort last week. The thing this year is our D is having fun and flying to the ball all sixty minutes - SO refreshing win or lose. That said, I think we have a "shot" at beating UT. Limit possessions, RUN the dang ball ( ughh don't get me started). We will need to score 4 offensive touchdowns I think to be in this game. Honestly - haven't seen an offense for USC this year (yet) that can do that. Wish us well and keep your chin up things do get better.

WOW...amazed by articles here and elsewhere calling for some radical change. Shane has literally not been the HC for a full calendar year yet. Relax! He is doing great. Coulda, woulda, shoulda against Kentucky. OK, move on win the next one and keep building. Our effort on the field is light years beyond where it was under Coach Mus...you know who. Keep recruiting, trust and refine the process make changes when needed keep chopping the tree. We will get there.
