    Lady Gamecocks looking like total trash

    Tantrums. Never played, don’t have a working understanding of what’s going on, if we’re not winning, we ‘suck’. To them this is the participation in the given sport they never had.

    UGA gets first SEC sweep of the season

    Arkansas with McFadden and Jones back during the spurrier years, the donut hole defense, et al. Nothing new.

    South Carolina vs Oklahoma WBB Sweet 16

    I share your view on Texas; haven’t seen ucla much. I used the phrase ‘allowed to beat UConn’ based on what I -have- seen lately. If we’re allowed to play the same tournament basketball as UConn I think we have a chance; if we have to play omg don’t defend them or they’ll go to the line and your...

    South Carolina vs Oklahoma WBB Sweet 16

    Yeah, I was being sarcastic. It just seems to me that the television media would rather not acknowledge our existence; not that I believe we’ll be allowed to get past UConn this year but it was the same way when we won the baseball titles, like ‘oh damn, South Carolina won. Where’d they come from.’

    South Carolina vs Oklahoma WBB Sweet 16

    All I’ve heard all week on the sports channels is that there was someone with a Mexican sounding last name on the Oklahoma squad that was going to light us up and send us home like a mere bit player in Oklahoma's march to the championship. Did she not make the trip?

    Lost to UGA in game 1

    Ok, I’ll play. Odds: likelihood an event will occur. Probably: happens more often than not. Maybe: happens less frequently. Guess I worded it poorly; apologies.

    Lost to UGA in game 1

    Pffft don’t give two hoots about monte lee, I’m a gamecock fan period. The odds are we would probably do worse for a new coach and maybe do better. It just gets tiresome seeing the same broken record complaining like kids that have had their toy taken away; yes it’s a message board and you’re...

    Lost to UGA in game 1

    Lost to no. 7 team at their place 5-2, all of their runs coming in one inning, the second. Respectfully, you guys come off a bit over the top.

    Most Overrated Movie

    I don’t watch the Oscars or Emmys or any of that, but I have tried to watch a few of the films that won those awards this time, the DiCaprio/penn film, the film starring the guy that played the east Dillon qb in the Friday night lights tv series, etc. I didn’t make it through any of them. Sorry...

    I remember when the old guys would talk…

    72-76 for me. The things that, for me, made the Roche era so special was the charisma and skill of Roche, the notoriety of the team in general and Roche especially (cussing Dean Smith on the road while dribbling past the UNC bench; that was just badass), the telecast of the vast majority of the...

    I remember when the old guys would talk…

    Yeah, not going to debate something that’s imaginary; if you were there that’s all it takes. I was at that Columbia regional; nc state, Villanova, st bonaventure, and Niagara. Bob Lanier and Calvin Murphy. They also had some kind of high school all-star type game; bill walton was in it. He sat...

    I remember when the old guys would talk…

    I can tell you where you were from reading your words podner; you didn’t live it. I’m 72; I saw it. I lived it. I went to the camps. I was in high school when Roche and Owens started at Carolina; you were 2 years old. You’re hanging your hat on advancement in the post season; it was a different...

    I remember when the old guys would talk…

    Neither was slow-down, to say the least; not following your point. Roche’s standard jumper was behind what’s the three point line today (‘Roche from the top of the key’) and with dunks allowed Owens and Ribock (even Joyce) would have gorilla-yoked those things to the floor.

    I remember when the old guys would talk…

    Seriously; it was almost anticlimatic by that time. Also slow-down, no dunking, no three point line, and the general nastiness of the league.

    I remember when the old guys would talk…

    One liners don’t negate things my friend. You may have been ‘around’ but you weren’t ‘there’ and it shows. 17 was a Cinderella semi fluke; those McGuire teams were badass.
