    Favorite Gamecock football game of all time

    Gotta go with UGA 2012. We were unstoppable. I thought we had arrived. Bama 2010 is a close second.

    Carolina sports admin: no commitment to winning, don't care about fans

    Correct. And, I try to remember this: when Donati arrived in Dec 24/Jan 25... - We were in the football playoff conversation - LP was the defending SEC Coach of the Year - Manieri had not yet coached a game for SC Things went sideways/south in a hurry. I'm not happy with the way things are...

    In the past, a five-year deal signaled to high school recruits that the coach

    So would I, and so would probably a majority of college sports fans. But those long-term deals have become the norm, and trying to break that trend is going to be tough.

    Lamont Paris.........

    We'll always have Paris...

    Or is it actually JEREMIAH DO NADA?!

    I think we're saving up for buyouts to come in baseball (probably 100% chance, unless Manieri retires) and, in all likelihood (say 50% chance or greater), football. If things go south for Beamer this fall and we part ways with him, don't be surprised if we retain Paris even after a subpar 26-27...

    Lou Holtz has passed

    I remember how giddy I was when we hired him in '98. I still have a bumper sticker somewhere from that era that read, "How Do You Spell Relief? H-O-L-T-Z"

    Paris should do the right thing and just resign

    I'll ask the same question here that I did on another thread about Manieri: why would LP give up free money by resigning?

    Baseball

    Why would he resign and give up free money?

    Maineri Quote & and it’s not a good one

    I’m too lazy to go back and confirm this…but I thought I read that Maneiri was basically on a one year deal, so we shouldn’t have much if any buyout to get rid of him (unless it happens mid season, which I wouldn’t totally rule out happening).

    Does anyone know why Steve Taneyhill's name and number is missing on Williams Brice stadium (West side upper)?

    That, and the various misspellings of McGuire, including any variation that has a Q in it. No wonder we as Gamecocks can’t have nice things, we don’t respect the few legends we have.

    Cricket Celebration Bowl

    SC State wound up being our best win of the year.

    What about Elliott

    I've wondered that too. Is it because of his local ties that maybe he's perceived to be a strong local recruiter?

    Worst athletic department in the NCAA

    I think it’s $10 million, stepping down to $7.5 million after the season.

    Kentucky just destroyed all the hand-wringers who declared it would be impossible to find a head coach in this cycle

    Yes, football is the golden goose at Carolina, as it is most places. But there are actually other issues in our athletic department that Donati knows need to be dealt with, and likely has known for a while, IMO mens basketball being chief among them. Football will be dealt with in due time, and...
