I am critical of Staley off the court. She is a winner but her politics and so forth are awful. Anyhow, the men's team is good this year. Tough defense. Good shooting from the free throw line. And some clutch 3 pointers when needed. I wish they would continue to not rank us.

South Carolina's pass defense will be good - potentially very good. The question is the D line. But I think a lot of people are sleeping on some solid and experienced linemen for the Gamecocks.

Well. That sucks.

One of Muschamp's biggest mistakes was sticking with a bad OC. He never found a good one and eventually float his job. I hope that Beamer doesn't make the same mistake. He should have fired Satterfield at the end of last year. The bowl game maybe gave Satt a new lease on life. But he is just not a good OC right now. And this pro style offense is not working for Us. Every team that runs the spread seems to score a lot of points. Why can't we run something more friendly to the college game that will put up more points?

Great win at home. It is wonderful to see in Beamer's first season. Gives me hope for the future. Will be truly excited if we can follow it up with another SEC East victory and avoid a let down vs Mizzou.

Just happy for the win. Remember, Beamer is in his first year. Muschamp left our program in shables. We are winning the games we are aupposed to win, which is positive. And our defense ia playing great. I thought the play calling on offense was good today, we will just have to recruit some help on the O line. But all in all I am encouraged. Oh, BTW, Beamer and the Gamecocks have covered in every game this year.

That was a nerve wracking game. Beamer and the boys found a way to win whereas under the old coach we probably would have found a way to lose. I like the new atmosphere and positivity surrounding the program now.

Really great showing for Juju. Clutch.

Chump is a liability. I thrilled he is at UGA. I hope they make him their D Coordinator soon or at least let him mess up Georgia's safeties. I am so happy he is out of Columbia. Him being fired brought hope back where there was none.

Harris, the SEC's leading rusher all the way down at number 4??? And not a peep about Marshawn Lloyd??? South Carolina will have 2 of the top RBs in the country running behind a veteran O line this year. Expect Harris and Lloyd to put up big numbers.

Negan, I am thrilled that Chump is on your staff. I sincerely hope he becomes your DC - so he can take a defense full of high end talent and get them to the NFL but somehow continually underperform on the field. Chump was extremely unpopular with our fans. And he brought in tons of UGA coaches which only made things worse. Everyone celevrated when he was fired. TBH, I was vocally against the Beamer hire (I wanted Hugh), but he has made nothing but good moves since coming to Columbia. Our roster will not threaten UGA's for a while, but Beamer has us back on track.

When you already play Clemson and an SEC schedule every year there is nothing wrong with adding 2 cupcakes. Almost everyone does it. We always rank high as having one of the hardest schedules in CFB.

Kiffin is right. SEC officiating is awful year after year. It isn't improving. You'd think in a conference with so many tens of millions of dollars on the line that we could get decent officiating. Why is that too much to ask, Sankey?

It worries me with folks picking my Gamecocks over LSU. I am very cautiously optimistic about our chances despite our HC's proven talent at find ways to lose winable games. Like Michael Bratton, I think that Bobo has been a home run hire. And this week the NCAA made our second best receiver (a transfer) available. Hopefully Harris continues to run like a beast through D lines and our secondary gets some more turnovers. This game is doable if our players come into it not too intimidated.

A ton of talent comes from LA. All the elite programs recruit there. Even if they picked off some of the scraps from the table they should have been able to field a decent team. Sounds like poor management and a lack of funding.

With good reason.

Imagine if Lloyd hadn't been injured. We would have Lloyd and Harris out there. Next year we could possibly have the best one - two punch at RB in the SEC.

This was nice but should be expected. Muschamp needs to follow this up with another win and get back into the SEC race.

South Carolina's offensive explosion against bottom feeder Vandy should not move Muschamp's buns off the hot seat. If he follows this win up with another against Auburn then I'll be more willing to cut him some slack. Otherwise it's #FireMuschamp.

Is this poll with the whimp-out conferences included just so that the losers up North and on the Left coast feel good? This is like T Ball where everyone gets a trophy.

Derail, not detail

It would be so nice to detail the media's Vol hype train right at the beginning of the season. And that first game for USC is going to be huge for Muschamp's prospects of returning next year. I think the Cocks beat the Vols but probably struggle after that without Lloyd and elite WR play.
