EMBARRASSING and SO SAD. No pitching, defensive mistakes and no hitting against our biggest rival and have not started the SEC schedule! Bought season tickets for years and drove from NC to the games. Gave it up this year. Want them to win but no faith they can.

It is. I try not to post early as it’s possible to say something and have to eat crow. This just feels different. I know we had a comeback against UNCG already…but this team just isn’t good.

I am so tired of Losing B&B ball.
Waiting for Football now.
I waited for baseball with high hopes all thru basketball, which ended 18-12 not exciting.
Now waiting for Football. Call me a whiner/complainer if you want. I'm just (temporarily) tired. :cry:

Find another power 5 that loses in mens sports as much as us.

Only football matters. I don’t even know who the beisbol coach is. Unfortunately, I know who our AD is.

Going to games will mean Gamecock fans accept being swept by Clemson and playing poor offensively and defensively. Staying home will send a message that we still love the Gamecocks but don't want to watch the humiliation.

Those pitchers wouldn’t help us score more runs and that’s been our issue since Kingston got here.
No, but they can sure keep the other team from getting hits and scoring runs. THAT is what wins in this conference.

Kingston is a Tarheel, so was Holbrook. Holbrook got swept at C of C by High Point this past weekend. Neither one of these clowns did anything to even maintain our once very good baseball program! Used to look forward to USC baseball, NOT ANYMORE. Tanner PLEASE RETIRE.

A true Gamecock fan wants all varsity sports to excel, to compete well, and to represent USC well, whether or not the fan closely follows the individual sport. They all matter.

So what if they are/were Tarholes?

The Holbrook hire was a no-brainer at the time, and an even better hire than Kingston. But as well all know, it didn't turn out that way.

How much of an impact has Meade's departure had?

Did Kingston have a post press conference yesterday? I have tried to Google and didn’t find one. Would be interested in hearing his views after losing all 3 games.

Currently 91st in offense. 98th defense.

Had high hopes for Kingston but that's fading. Hope we can pick it up.

Ah yes. I knew a “true fan” post was lurking in the shadows, just waiting for its inaugural appearance on the new Board.

To be fair, I have no interest in watching the golf teams compete, But I do care that they do well, and am glad when someone posts meet results on FGF.

If football were the only sport that mattered, why go to the trouble of sponsoring an array of sports (Title IX notwithstanding)?

I like Coke, but I don’t like Cel Ray.

Heard part of it. Said we should feel good that we gave up "only" 6 hits yesterday. :cautious:

Don't forget Ray Tanner from NC State...;) I think June Raines got his Grad degree from South Carolina under Bobby Richardson back in the 70's...
Not in direct response to your post, but it put me in mind of one I saw above above about how current malcontented people would have wanted to fire Tanner at this stage. Not necessarily so. Tanner had significant success at NC State before we hired him. He enjoyed more inherent good will than this guy from South Florida. Those who try to equate the early days of Tanner here to those of Kingston are off the beam, I think. These two aren't alike except in the sport they coach(ed).

What did Tanner do / not do to enjoy the inherent good will?

He performed more impressively in his previous job (which was at a higher level than Kingston's) and he projected a better persona. These things bought him the time to ramp up his program. So his resume' was better and his personal appeal was better.
