    No reason for optimism

    I will never give up the hope that we crest that mountain top in football and basketball like we did for a time in baseball. The only difference over the past few years is that I don't get down about it like I used to. I get frustrated during the games with the missed reads, over/underthrown...

    Look at how much Shane Beamer has aged

    Yep, and had better decisions been made both by Spurrier and our "AD" at the time, the stage was set for this program to carry that momentum forward in the right direction. Instead we all saw how the program rapidly descended back into its historical place in CFB.

    Look at how much Shane Beamer has aged

    I wholeheartedly agree with you. My stance, though, relies on the answer to your real question. Is the goal to build a consistent Top 20 program or not. If it is not, then we should stay the course with Beamer, at least until it is not a financial hit to fire him. I believe RT saw the success...

    Look at how much Shane Beamer has aged

    This is the main, maybe only, reason to stick it out with him as long as we can. Yes, "he wants to be here" is a silly platitude, but it's also very much true. I am a faithful subscriber to Occam's Razor and it can somewhat be applied to our current situation. All things being equal, the...

    Stewart back at practice today

    And look at 2010. Cam Newton wasn't fully cleared to play in the SECCG until the night before and he probably shouldn't have been cleared. Take him out of that game and it goes much differently.

    What if Shane could be Frank 2.0?

    Or...maybe he really is Dabo 2.0 Dabo obviously had better records against obviously worse competition and we owned them for a five year stretch, but they won their first natty under him in his 8th season. They both were great recruiting position coaches elevated to HC without prior HC/OC/DC...

    Why didn't Beamer call TO before the UK two point conversion?

    This one still irks me. There is no reasonable explanation for him not calling timeout in that situation. Both teams get one timeout per OT. I think it's best to employ the WWSD principle to those types of decisions. What Would Saban Do? The GOAT would have called TIMEOUT. Period.

    In defense of Beamer, Part II

    There are two glaring issues with this team: -The defense just looks lost at times. Undisciplined lanes by the DL and the DBs have been mostly crap. -Yes, the team shows heart and doesn't give up and that can be credited to Beamer's same demeanor. But my goodness, they just can't finish. It's...

    Like most of you, I'm at a loss for words after last night's debacle, however

    I learned my lesson after 21-3 vs Florida back in 00-01 era

    Linda Cohn exposes ?NBAs sham explanation for Asia not being suspended

    I agree she made it worse with her presser. She handled the entire situation badly.

    Linda Cohn exposes ?NBAs sham explanation for Asia not being suspended

    Oh, she definitely overreacted and her answer to the question in her presser made it worse. She should have apologized for her overreaction and said it will never happen again. It was really stupid, but this generation doesn't know a whole lot about personal responsibility.

    Linda Cohn exposes ?NBAs sham explanation for Asia not being suspended

    You know her name is A'ja, right? She's the best right now and she gets a lot of bad calls that go her way as a lot of stars do. She had one moment where she overreacted to a D-hole in the stands. It's not like she's a career Rodman or Artest. It's a pretty childish swipe to take at her...

    Linda Cohn exposes ?NBAs sham explanation for Asia not being suspended

    Well, the rule does specify the first row of spectator seating as the boundary. Did she actually go into the spectator seating or did it all take place in and around the photographer area on the baseline? Look, she's the best player in the league and it's not really close. She may go down as...

    "I think we may be witnessing the beginning of the end for Shane Beamer at South Carolina"

    My son and I were talking about the bowl game the other night in reference to Beamer's "immaturity" if you will. His explosion on the sideline was just dumb. Nick quitting at halftime was completely disrespectful and Shane should have called it out for what it was, but he glossed over it. He...
