How do yall feel about being called crazy?

You have to have respect for someone for their opinion of you to matter. No respect for #3, so I could care less what he thinks of us fans.
And why would he be filming this? Appears to be taunting Carolina fans.

Antwane has shown himself to be a very low character individual throughout this whole process. Pointing out that obvious fact does not make anyone crazy.
You tell me who the crazy one is:
A. Fans who get upset that a player took a full scholarship, a fat NIL check, refused to play all season, even though he was able to play for a good portion of it, then transferred out after the season but continued to make use of football facilities after he quit the team even while he was engaging with opposing teams about transferring there to play and made a video taunting the fans of his former school while he was making use of those facilities.

That was my thought as well.
I know its not hot cocoa and marshmallow to speak this, so be it, but that culture is meeessssed up. I'm sorry. There is no shame in dignity and integrity.
I think you are doing a lot of speculating.
A) you confirmed he had a fat NIL deal with us? I heard it was less than $100k.
B) you confirmed he was healthy a "good" part of the season and he refused to play?
C) not sure he has transferred out as you suggest.
D) you changed your mind in B and now he refused to play all season.
E) not sure he has quit the team (yet).
Didn’t say he wasn’t. All you have to do is lightly skim this board after a loss to prove him right.
With all due respect; Name one fanbase that isn't crazy. Remember, 'fan' is short for 'fanatic'.
A) I've heard much higher numbers than $100,000. Nevertheless, taking the money and then refusing to play is the key issue. What is the acceptable amount of money you can accept for a "job" and then refuse to do the job and still keep the money? If you paid someone $10,000 for a task and then they refused to do it, would you be ok with it because it was less than $100,000?
B) Beamer said multiple times throughout the season "it's up to Juice" when he wanted to play. That translates into "he's been cleared by team doctors." If a player was not physically healthy, a coach would just say that. I can scarcely recall Beamer saying "Juice is not physically capable of playing." If you paid attention this season, it was a source of ongoing frustration that Beamer was so vague and non-specific when addressing Antwane's status.
C) lol, good grief, ok, so you got me on a technicality here. He has not transferred out yet. He is transferring out. Do you know the numbers from last year on how many players entered the portal but then withdrew and stayed at their current school? Based on the average from the last 3 portal cycles, we have a 1.76% chance he'll change his mind.
D) The player description in "B" is word-for-word copied from "A", so I didn't change my mind about anything.
E) Refer to "C" above.
Fanaticism is an intense devotion to the point of being irrational. I prefer to call people who are crazy and irrational loons. Remember, "loon" is phonetically short for lunatic.
Yeah, I know. Which is why I’m not understanding the outrage.
One guy acts like an idiot and the culture is messed up?? Are you new to college football?
I don't understand how any gamecock fan can honestly approve of Wells' conduct. I can see playing devil's advocate for the sake of argument, but some of y'all are wells simps

I don’t approve of it, but he also doesn’t need my approval. He’s a grown man. And quite honestly, it’s just not important to me. So I don’t really care what he posts or what he does. Don’t care where he gets his hair cut. I’d rather focus on what Beamer is doing to make us better. No some stupid soap opera Wells is starring in. He and Lane are perfect for each other. Although it is ironic that Lane just kicked a guy off the team for not participating due to a health issue.
The Univ. of South Carolina football fans (specifically) have long been understood around the country to be the most hospitable, endearing and forgiving group to our student-athlete football players the last 40 years. I think it's a weakness.....and hope it's changing. This fool is acting like our fanbase is crazy. Good luck out in the real world Jack. I hope you get all you think is out there.
It's hard for me to believe that some of you really get butthurt over things like this. This is high school drama type material.
For me, the weak ones are the ones that clutch pearls over the words of an immature 22 year old.
I guess the implication is that people seem to have no problem with him mocking USC fans from within the Gamecock football facilities, a team for which he is no longer a player. Why is he allowed to lock the fans and the university from within the football facilities if he is no longer part of the team? His scholarship pays for his education, not his access.
It's not butthurt. It makes beamer look like an ineffectual coach who can't man up and tell these "high school drama" players to leave the facility if he's not gonna play because he's "hurt". Beamer looks weak allowing this to happen. Despite what some here may think, perception matters.
Beamer has literally been flying around the country recruiting. He hasn’t even been there, nor have any other coaches. Everyone has been on the road recruiting.
Also, do you think Kiffin is weak for going after Juice? He’s trying his best to buy a player that quit on his team.
Perception does matter i agree. Running out potential transfers before they have chosen a new school is also a bad look. I would run Wells out because of the video but I wouldn't run the others out until they have officially committed to a new school.
You know, at the end of the day, this NIL stuff is going to ruin a bunch of players. They're going to get all this money and get lazy, lose that hunger to make it to the next level, IMO. You know how it is when you're 18, 20 years old, you think a few hundred thousand bucks is a ton of money, much less a million...
So beamer has so little time or control of the program he can't take 5 minutes to call the football operations or assistant coaches to tell wells to leave the facility?
And no, kiffin isn't weak. If anything wells will have a 1k yard season at ole Miss. It's not the same argument and you know it.
He was advertised as being the highest paid athlete in the SEC so we're talking at least $800k. And yes it's been reported multiple times that he chose not to play after the medical team cleared him.
