The Palmetto State native has gone from potential Gamecocks star to bitter rival, but on Saturday he actually had kind words for USC. The note attached to Thomas’ tweet includes a public thank you to Will Muschamp’s team:
“To the USC staff and fans – Thank you! They were all so good to me and I will always be grateful for all the love they have shown me and the family and I wish them the best.”
Neither side will wish the other the best when it comes time to play the last game of the season, but some Gamecocks fans may appreciate Thomas’ gesture.
I have nothing against the Gamecocks. I know virtually nothing about their program history. I do, however, despise Muschamp. It sucks that the Gamecocks didn’t land the 5* but I’m laughing at Muschamp for losing out on that one. I’ll loathe him wherever he goes.
Careful with laughing at a coach who missed the best recruit in his state..we just whiffed on Cam Akers.
Losing out on a recruit isn’t really what I’m laughing at him about. I just don’t like him.
No surprise at all. Clemson just won a national championship and will have their pick of top recruits. Sorry SC fans, Clemson will have a grip on that state for a long time. Muschamp is a good recruiter but don’t believe he’ll get SC to the level of winning national championships. Thank your former coach for it.
Not much of a Gamecock fan, switching to the biggest rival just like that.
Like the new truck Dabo and Co. bought you? I’m sure it wasn’t the only thing.
Have fun going all in those buttholes with Dabo.
Damn, you’re sour. As the old saying goes, misery loves company. Be honest, you cried a lil bit when he didn’t go to SC. You drove your wife crazy with excitement about this kid signing with SC, and prematurely puffed your chest out like y’all already got him. But then, ZIP! Nope!
As you did with Cam Akers, but instead of a wife, in your case it was a sheep after all you do live in Mississippi, lol.
Do you normally call your daughters sheeps?
I don’t have a daughter, troll. Your baaaaaaaad, sheepf*cker…….I realize it’s a goat, but I figured it would help your illiterate a** to have a picture.
Oh well SDS apparently lacks the technology to post an emoji. I guess you will have to get your one relative that isn’t a product of inbreeding to explain this comment to you.
You’ve got a sick mind. Just die already.
Something isn’t right here. He’s been adamant about not obviously leaning one way or the other or announcing his decision till December, then he randomly throws that out the door? I’m just as biased as the next Carolina fan but something doesn’t feel right here. Oh well hopefully there are some violations and they get the death penalty lol
