Let me be less subtle this time. Nothing about this thread title suggests it's about South Carolina's poll ranking. If folks are salty, it's probably cause they're sick of having to hear about South Carolina in every gosh darned thread on this board.

That comment was made directly to the Tennessee fan that created this thread in a joking manner and it was obvious the Tennessee fan understood that, likely bc it's how all of the teams in this conference interact. If we are going for each other's throats or meaning to seriously insult each other it's very, very obvious and that wasn't even in the same stratosphere as when we go at each other. It's cute that it upset you and Donald so much though. Maybe the two of you can get together and discuss it over coffee and console one another.

And South Carolina can post in threads on this board without your approving of it. Pretty sure that's why it's called the GENERAL women's basketball discussion forum.

I thought most of the posts the original "slipped my mind" comment seemed get it was a joke. They came across as typical SEC rivalry chatter to me, along with insights on the upcoming season.

That's all it was. It amuses me that the same ppl get upset about stuff like that every single time. The funny thing is, if ppl came into the Gamecock thread on here making comments, I'm pretty sure none of us would care and would welcome the banter and then once the banter moves on, we are back to joking around with each other with no hard feelings. It always strikes me as odd that other fan bases don't understand that about us.

Maybe. But Tennessee has A LOT of new pieces, so I’d be surprised if they come out the gate super impressive. Relying on immediately eligible transfers to make an impact can be rough. These aren’t talented freshmen.. these are players that have been contributors at other programs who expect to continue contributing at that same level and had no off transfer year to adjust. They will have to learn during the season how to be a team.

LVs have the talent, so now Harper will really have to figure out chemistry. I do think Harper will right the ship early on in conference play though and Tennessee will be a hard out later on.

The same can be said about LSU. Still, I expect both to be tough teams to beat for most based off talent alone.

I'm not sure I see the Vols being much different, which certainly isn't bad.

I doubt SC goes undefeated in league.

LSU is going to be a lot of fun to watch this year. Great haul from the portal to partner with Alexis Morris.

I also think Georgia could turn some heads, although they probably won’t threaten the three you listed.
 
With the portal and so much turnover with players AND coaches in this league, it will be interesting to see how things will end up. Kentucky, TAMU, Florida, Georgia, and LSU completely flipped their rosters. Tennessee added some dynamic players on top of their already talented roster. SC has their core back, have added two incredibly talented freshmen and last year's freshman class has had a year in the system and a summer to improve. I think they will make a huge jump. Should be a fun year.

The 3 rowdiest WBB fan bases in the SEC. We need to create someplace that won't upset others where the 3 of us can just have at it when the season starts. LOL.

You took my post the wrong way. It was not meant to be serious, except for there has not been a repeat champion since 2015 It Did Not upset me.

I was way off bc I definitely interpreted it in a different way. My apologies. Sometimes it's hard to read things and know how it was intended without the benefit of voice inflection, facial expression, etc. I've had things I've meant sarcastically, funny or in other ways misinterpreted many, many times bc of the same type of thing.

Yes I think those three will start. Adding a post player was needed. Franklin has played for Harper before. Hollingshed has a lot of potential. Another thing I am waiting to see. Is how much the returning players have improved. Puckett will be better. This roster is deep. So Harper will have a lot of options.

Horston , Jackson , Key , Suarez , Jordan Walker

I’d say Hurston and Key are set in stone but Key’s backup should get plenty of PT

That was a position of need. Franklin and Hollingshed will fill the role.

Who knows what would have happened if Horston had played in the tournament. Georgia hadn't won a national championship since 1980 in football. They finally got one last year.

Yeah, but Georgia fans didn’t claim national championships as “the standard.”

Of course, pre-season championships were the “standard” for UGA fans.

I think this is the best chance for a championship. That Tennessee has been in a few years. Providing no key injuries happen. The depth and talent on this team.

The first time I tried to "like" this post I received a prompt asking me if I was sure I wanted to do that. What in the world? I've never had that happen before when I've "liked" posts of all types on here.

I'm not sure if Vol fans knew about the ESPY award voting that is going on but there is one category that has Candace as a nominee. The link to the voting site is in the Gamecock thread and should be on either the last or next to last page. Just wanted to share that with you to make sure Candace gets as many votes as possible. :)

ETA: Here's the link so you don't have to dig thru the thread to find it. :)

The Lady Vols are loaded at every position....We know that SC is the current champ (for now) but the LVs will give them all they want this season....

In any event, this is what all fan bases live for; exciting competition....
