SC fan thinks we're soft

[HoopsFan21]

This thread is kind of silly in light of the beat down last week. Sure the results might be different next year when we play in Columbia, but we hear that all the time. Just wait until they have to go to <<insert notoriously tough environment to play in here>>. Whether it's Purcell or Cameron or whatever UNC calls their court, the result is similar. Next year UConn heads to Columbia without KML and bench player Stokes. However, Tuck, Mo, and Stewie will be seniors. Nurse will be a sophomore, and we will have 6-5 junior Butler available. Oh yeah, there are also those 3 newcomers, one of which is the #1 recruit in this year's class, and the other 2 are in the top 12, coming off the bench along with Chong, Gabby, and Ek. Next year might be a bit closer than this year's game due to location, but talent wise, I'm not sure South Carolina will match up much better than they do now.

Some SC fan on ESPN board thinks we're soft. Said can't wait for another shot at us. Good one! I don't think they will make it to the final game. I see ND knocking them down.

Not even sure what an "ESPN board" is nowadays since ESPN eliminated its forums and message boards back in 2013 due to all the crap that got posted by people like fanatichusky. Can't believe that trolls are still using that line.

But I guess every site up here needs a snarky tool to invite another Sherman's march through the South.

The ESPN boards are still there. They require Facebook, but most of the old regulars just use their personal Facebook or a seperate account created to post "anonymously" on those boards. I say anonymously in quotes because nothing is anonymous especially when it comes to Facebook and Google which might as well be fronts for the NSA at this point.

Okay, I'll take your word for it. I never saw anything further on ESPN forums even with my Facebook sign-in. And sure UConn and some other teams have active Facbook pages unrelated to any ESPN stuff, but South Carolina has no activity that I've ever seen. Whatever.

They are gonna "rise again". Not sure when, it's been like 150+ years.

They should learn their place.

There isn't enough Viagra on Earth.

That's a good one. "Soft". No one who can endure those practices can EVER be called "Soft". But that's OK. Let em talk. To me we're plenty tough and just as importantly we're smart. We don't foul. We don't have to "mug" people to beat them by 25, 40 or 60 points.

A) I know where Florence is, but I live in Columbia, 70 miles away;

B) I'm not a Southerner. I was born and raised in Jersey and both of my parents were born and raised in Manhattan;

C) I don't care for BBQ;

D) I'm not betting on WBB, I don't bet on sports at all. I do post predictions on one of the dry erase boards at work, though, but I never predict that my Gamecocks will lose.

As far as the other post, I've posted since the game, but I haven't had as much reason to visit since the game. I did start a thread congratulating you guys on a great game, though. We play Tennessee on Monday, so I'll be concentrating on them for the next few days.

I hope you beat Tenn. by a sizeable margin so there is no doubt that SC is the better team. Good luck!

Ohhh, I misread this initially.
He's saying that "we" (ie, the BoneYard) are soft. That's true. Especially TonyC. He's an old softy, for sure.

After all that time spent making and fastening buttons, how did they ever find time to fight a war? By the time they finished getting dressed in the morning, it would be time for bed!

You mean of the thousands of fans that a program has, there's one guy saying dumb things on a message board?
I am SHOCKED.

If UConn were only so lucky.

Holy guacamole Bat Man... the Jabberwockies game thread had more down right ugly, SEC typical stupid, just down right ignorant stuff on it than anything produced by the smack talkin' people from Orangetown. 'Course they have to go there, 'cuz their big, slow bigs ain't getting any better before the big games start, and the outside game is what it is too. But on a neutral court without those homer refs from up East they are going to eat our porridge.

Guess I'm saying, you are too kind to those southern homers by far.

PS. A few of them got it. We're good, they (UConn) are sick.

 

[JellyBean]

Soft? Oh my word.

Okay, finally tracked down the "soft" comment on the USCar - Arkansas ESPN Coversation game thread last night. It's by a Columbia SC HS student.

Now taking a comment by some 14-year-old and applying it across the board to all Game-c-o-c-k fans (the they) seems a little stupid. But whatever. Sure, CockyTalk has some Vol-type posters whose standards are trashy low and whose eyesight is slightly better than a mole's, but most just said that USCar has to get better to compete with the Huskies.

I have to say that, overall, the majority of SC fans seem to recognize that their team was beaten by a better team. Sure, there's some grumbling about refs but even they say the perceived home cookin' didn't affect the outcome. Unlike the Tin Foil Hat Brigade, the USC fans seem to live in the real world.

I've been on Cocky Talk for a bit now. There are a few posters that thought the NY Times article re the $$$ revenues of the SEC & SC vs the AAC and UC that would eventually lead to our demise was a planted article by northerners to give us an excuse if we lost to So Carolina. It was intersesting how much distrust of northerners there still is. Being from the north, can't say that I blame them!
