Best of the Best

Folks, I'm going to give you a break from my insight tonight (<--rhyme), and just inundate you with the best MOAG since the Wofford debacle.

On the coaching situation:

- HIRE PHIL PETTY.......Okay here it is our last two hires have old washed up coaches that we have had to pay alot of money to .These two guys knew very little about the Gamecocks before we hired them.So, lets go the other way and hire a former player who loves the Gamecocks would walk here from East Carolina.And would have postive emotions,and love the Gamecocks.so,WHAT HE HAS NEVER BEEN A HEAD COACH the latter has not worked at all.

On the UAB game:

- UAB's defense is VERY bad. Our offense is pretty decent. We should be able to cover that spread[-25] pretty easily.

On solutions for the offense:

- we should run the triple optin with garcia...seriously... why not!?! the option destroyed the patriots yesterday.

On how they stack up:

- i never thought i would see the day when Wake Forest has a better football team than we do. (editor's note: Apparently this guy has been asleep since 2003)

- There is zero chance that Wake is better than South Carolina. South Carolina is in the SEC. Wake is only an ACC team.

- You don't know that Wake Forest are better than us. I am pretty sure we haven't played them.

On A.J. Green:

- Hope he likes GA. He won't be welcomed back in this state again. Traitor seems to fit like a glove.

- If we had AJ Green he'd be on the bench for the next 2 years

- If you are not a gamecock then you are not worthy of the bottom of my shoe.Kid chose Georgia, good for him...... hope he friggen sucks for 4 years.

On bright spots:

- We are actually #1 in first downs and Smelley is the #3 QB in the SEC.

- We should be 4-0 right now. ( <---yep)

- It's almost sickening the way you guys groan around here. Our offense is first in the sec in first downs, it's third in the sec in passing, fifth in red zone scoring. MORE FIRST DOWNS than ANYONE in the sec.

- losing to Vandy two years in a row is unacceptable? So even if Vandy does great this year, it's still unacceptable? Stop living in the past, Vandy's an alright team this year.

- I tried to make the point last night that after watching numerous games yesterday, there is a lot of bad football out there...not just us!

On the rest of the season:

- some of you guys are acting like amateurs. I mean, this is Gamecock football, and anyone who has been a fan for a while, say a decade, would know it is way too early to throw in the towel.

- I agree. Its far from over around here. Spurrier can get this offense turned around. When he does, look out, we will have a great season.

- My prediciton for the season: Team turns it around and gets 7 regular season wins with a bowl win making 8... we go into next year experienced and we don't look back.

- There's not a game left on our schedule that we will not be in come the 4th quarter

- anybody else see our only other losses being LSU and FL?

- Our defense will give us a chance to win every game we play. Our offense who leads the SEC in first downs has to stop turning the ball over and score in key situations. Im sticking with my 10 win prediction. Remember ohio st in 02? They had a great defense won every game close even against sorry teams a win is a win and a really good defense can get you wins.

- If we win the T/O battle we beat: Ole Miss, Ky, Tn and Arky. We should also beat UAB this Sat which would be seven W's. I also like our chances (provided we win the T/O battle) against LSU at W-B and at clemtech.

I stopped reading when I read "our offense is pretty decent."

You should keep reading. It gets better.

Dude-
You have to be making this stuff up-no way anybody is really posting this-
The AJ Green stuff? Unbelievable-
Oh, and I was just curious-and this might be a difficult statistic to pinpoint-but do you know which team currently leads the SEC in first downs? If you can find out, let me know...

"and this might be a difficult statistic to pinpoint-but do you know which team currently leads the SEC in first downs?"

The answer to your question is, ironically enough, South Carolina. South Carolina is able to move the ball with some sort of success, but as soon as they get into their opponent's territory, especially the redzone, the offense just goes to hell. But yes, SC leads the SEC in first downs. Somehow...someway.

Your words have been marked, Wren.

We used to always beat Wren in basketball back when I played.

I'm a Gamecock fan, I went to Easley High School, and we stomped your ass in football and basketball every year. I participated in these anual beatdowns. It was fun. Almost as fun as beating Pickens into the ground.

Morons in every fanbase, unfortunately. Sigh.

A Carolina fan calling another town in his own state a "hick ass town" is pretty much the irony of ironies. Especially in South Carolina. Nicely done, Wren.

Or what...are you like all the other speds here that lives five days away from the team you cheer for?

Anonymous said...

Wren, do you know where Clemson is? You know...the rival team of our precious Gamecocks? Congrats, you know now know where Easley is.

Any other town in our "hick ass state" you want to make any shout outs to? Columbia? Newberry? Clemson itself? Rock on, bro.

A Gamecock fan making fun of other towns in Carolina? Holy shit, and I thought Vandy being ranked was classic.

Wren, before you become so defensive about your precious Gamecocks, you should probably actually think before you type. And yes, Easley is right beside Clemson. I assume you know where Clemson is. So instead of being so defensive and calling some town in South Carolina a "hick ass town," maybe you should take a look around the state you live in.

this is pretty stimulating stuff. owner - any new gamecock news today? seems your buddy wren is on fire! question - wren where are you from originally? my guess here is irmo. am i right? i thought so. it explains everything.

Anonymous said...

Irmo? What the hell is Irmo?

Oh that's right...it's another hickass town in South Carolina.

What WAS I thinking?

Wren's on fire alright. It's a pattern some of my Gamecock brethren seem to adapt when our offense is in a tailspin. You should have seen him in 2001.

i like it dave. who does this wren cat think he is? well...wren...anything?

A bandwagon of CAROLINA? Dude...you become a bandwagon of GOOD teams...I mean GOOD...Southern Cal...LSU....Ohio State...Florida...etc. Do you see the pattern? At no point in the history of my life, or many other people's for that matter, would have ANY reason to jump on the Carolina bandwagon, especially this season. Unless you want to jump on the "Carolina's Defense is pretty damn good, but the offense is horrible" bandwagon- I could go for that ride. But a bandwagoner for Carolina? Please. I'm a Carolina fan because I was raised one and grew up loving Carolina. That won't change. But I, like Owner, am a realist about my own team. It's awesome you want to support Carolina, buddy- Just don't be a complete tool about it.

Tits, pound a couple beers with me sometime. You know any good hick ass towns we could hit up?

I'm confused-whose leading the SEC in first downs again?

Anonymous said...

Carolina with 88...I think. Don't quote me on the number, but I believe that's it. They are first in first downs though...and I believe they are fourth in third down conversions. Like I said, they can move the ball effectively- it' just when they get into enemy territory, especially red zone, where their offense completely goes down the drain.

Anonymous said...

Yes, Carolina leads the SEC in first downs (88) and ranks fourth in third-down conversions (44.2 percent), but is a lowly 11th in scoring offense (20.2 ppg). A lot of wasted scoring opportunity. And turnovers. Lot of lots of turnovers. Twelve to be exact.

There you have it.

dave, we can "pound some beers" sometime, but i should tell you...i am in no way, shape or form, a homosexual. so if that is what you do - more power to you, but count me out. otherwise, let's drink till we're blacked out and getting spanked by semi-hot women in platinum plus!!

Sir, I, in no way shape or form, am involved in any homosexualaity of any shape or form. I just figured a fellow blogger would want to go chill and get slammed with me until we black out and wake up in bed with several strippers and a midget.
