South Carolina at Alabama Gameday Open Thread

take a gander – http://leftoverhotdog.blogspot.com/2009/10/gamecocks-v-crimson-tide-preview.html

That this time last year, ‘Bama almost coughed up two home games to Kentucky and Ole Miss. They’re good, but they’re not invincible. If we come out playing our best, we can take it to the wire and see what happens.

He will NOT be the next head coach at Clemson

Messing around on YouTube this morning and ran across this gem. Seriously, I hope there aren’t any Gamecock fans out there who make anything like this. I don’t care if we win 11 National Championships in a row, there’s no excuse for advertising how fat and unfunny you are.

I’ll be watching them kick bama’s arse at 2am my time from Sweden on espn360. Even here i get sideways looks at my “COCKS” shirt. They don’t speak much english, just enough to realize the abnormality of such i imagine.

“We’ll go ahead and give the short field to the team that came off the short bus.”

Anyone watching this? According to the gamecast, one of their safetys has two pass attempts. WTF?

I’ve always known ESPN’s Joe Schad is a little “different”. Now he’s telling the world:

schadjoe: Colt McCoy needs a swedish massage at the end of the first quarter

“Leaping.” Not even close.

If Vandy manages to score enough points to win this game, WM will get death threats tomorrow.

I would really think that Tressell should be on the hot seat by now. Too much talent there for such consistent underperformance.

by refs….some questionable calls are helping UF stay in game

game ball to refs for ensuring a ‘W’

Don’t tease me, ESPN.

see you guys then

Garcia throws INT, pic 6

to be down 13-6 at half in my view.

Crazy first half but we are close just need better offensive production and a bit more success stopping the run.

Need Gurley, Barnes and/or Saunders to step up as Alshon will have double coverage for the rest of the game.

I’m back live now. This game is ridiculous. Garcia needs to lock it up!

The only thing I can say is that our defense has come ready to play. Plus, considering Garcia has played his worst game of the year to date, we’re lucky to only be down 7. If Garcia can figure out which end of the football is pointy and the defense continues at its current pace, we can win this thing.

Gentleman. Scholar. Maker of first downs.

This is not much of an improvement of John Hunt.

we could bounce it outside.

we had a chance but just could not muster enough to get over the hump. Offensive strategy this game sucked as play calling at times was awkard. Defense as ususal did great but Garcia decided to have his worst game of the year.

PS – Ingram, thanks to Carolina, just inserted himself in the Heisman talk.

The defense came to play. We won the turnover battle by two. Garcia has his worst performance of the year.

I don’t know how to feel after this game. The offense took a step back here. We had multiple opportunities to win this game, but let me be clear: the better team won tonight. My confidence in Garcia’s abilty to lead this team to anything significant is just as shaken as Garcia himself. This wasn’t just an off night for him. It was awful.

Sure we hung in with the #1 or #2 team in the nation, but our offense showed no signs of life.

OK, our team isn’t great. Beating Alabama was a long shot, but do we have enough to win 2 or 3 more games? I have no idea.
