Final check-in for Missouri game: how we feeling?

[18IsTheMan]

Can't shake my old way; I'm a Gamecock fan, so I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. I kind of feel about this game like I did A&M in 2022: if we don't beat them this year, we might never beat them. In 2022 it felt like we had to beat A&M because they were struggling so bad. This year, it feels like we need to beat Mizzou because we're playing the best all around football we've played in a decade or more. I feel great about the way we're playing, but I guess I'll believe we can beat them when we actually beat them.

Just how bad has the South Carolina losing streak to Missouri been?

South Carolina has lost five in a row to the Missouri Tigers, and the Gamecocks hope to end the streak this weekend.

I'm going with the ''refuse to lose'' mentality of this team since the Bama loss.

I'm feeling good about it. We'll have a nice family outing no matter what. But I'm feeling good about it.

I'm cautiously optimistic, just like I have been for every game this year other than Alabama.

There's definitely a bit more angst though for this one, just because of the history with Missouri.

I’m going to shoot doves then deer hunt rather than attend or watch. That’s how confident I am that we are going to curb stomp Mizz. Looking forward to watching it on Sunday morning.

I'm more c9nfident than I was for Bama or LSU.

When they trot that back up qb out there, I'll feel even more confident.

Waaay too confident, and that scares me to death. Seen this movie far, far, far too many times!

I feel confident in our play but not confident we can shake off the demons of 5 straight losses.

It's also hard to forget that 2022 game.

I, myself, feel torn. Like you, can't shake the Carolina way of thinking, especially against a team like Mizzou that we've struggled against. However, good news is no one on here plays. So as long as the men aren't stuck thinking in the traditional Carolina way that's all that matters. I will say this game is the difference between a 3-0 finish and a 1-2 finish. I think if we win, Clemson is done for when we play them. The men will just have too much confidence. On the other hand, if we lose tomorrow, I think the doubt creeps in our guys' mind and the confidence is gone when we play Clemson.

I would be surprised if Carolina lost, which is not something I've thought many times this season. Even though it doesn't feel like a huge game, this is probably the most important game of the season to date aside from maybe the LSU game. 10 win season still on the table with longshot playoff implications for both teams.
