Reasons to hope vs A&M?

[18IsTheMan]

Basically the same as we had against Mizzou. All their wins so far have come against lousy teams: New Mexico, La Monroe, Arkansas and Auburn. They got shellacked by Miami and then lost close ones to Bama and UT. So, they've lost to the only 3 good teams they've played.

Aside from that, they are 28th nationally in scoring offense, 37th in passing offense, 28th in scoring defense.

They were a train wreck last year and we couldn't put them away at WB.

I would give us the edge at QB, based on talent alone, but the QB can't execute with an OL and WRs, and it appears we'll be down our top 2 WRs.

A&M has only beaten lousy teams this year, but we are a lousy team, sad to say. The line is 14, and I suspect they'll win by substantially more than that.

In each of Beamer's first 2 seasons, he managed to pull off wins in games nobody thought we could win. This is his last chance to do that this season.

I ain't feeling it. Since it's noon, I'll plan on watching the first half and head outside if the game has already
slipped away from us. Weather where I am is looking pretty good, so...

Side note on the line - I think it might change again if we find out we may have even more players out than
we know about.

And they are coming off their bye week.

 

[1vagamecock]

We won't be close

 

[18IsTheMan]

We won't be close

I fear we are going to reach a point of total collapse at some point, and it could be this game.

This is the reason for losing hope.

Our only hope:

Jimbo's hiney is warm and we have a knack for getting coaches fired. Jimbo should throw this game and become a multi millionaire lol

My biggest reason for someone having hope is you love misery.

Perks of living on the river is I can go from a football Saturday to a fishing Saturday in the blink of an eye.

There is something very sadistic about being a Gamecock fan.

There is something very sadistic about being a Gamecock fan.

I think you mean masochistic.

 

[Lurker123]

The only thought I can come up with to raise hope, is remembering the week before the UT game last year.

I suppose you never know when something miraculous will pop up.

 

[18IsTheMan]

I think you mean masochistic.

Haha, you are correct...receiving pain, not inflicting.

I wish we got to inflict some pain.

Well: to be fair, when Carolina does beat a team not named Vandy or one of the cupcakes, the other team's fans do experience a lot of pain.

 

[Lurker123]

Is there a way we could bring back Satterfield and bench him before the game?

So basically you are saying there is no reason for hope?

Well, UNC is average 2.6 sacks per game and had 9 against us.

A&M is among the best in the nation in sacks.

It does not look promising.
