Tentatively, I'm planning on taking my family of 4 to the bowl game. However....

[Dod Rangerfield]

I am waiting to purchase tickets until after I know we're actually gonna give it our best shot to win it. If we have an outbreak of selfishness & key players start opting out, then heck no! There'll be 4 less Gamecock butts in the seats. Not spending that kind of time & money if we're not gonna give it our all.

Anyone else thinking the same?

Waiting to see which one, and who may opt out.

 

[Dod Rangerfield]

GOT DANG I should have listened to myself. 3 key contributors have now decided to be selfish & not finish out the 2022 campaign. I now have 4 bowl tickets, 1 parking pass, hotel reservations, & promises made to do this/do that while on this trip. Our team won't even freakin' resemble the one that whipped Tennessee & Tillman. Damnit!!!!!!!!!!

Take Kai Kroeger's tweet to heart and go forward

"All we got is all we need. Gamecock nation we love y'all and are here to stay."

Yep, if you have the tickets, I'd show up and support the players who are Gamecocks. Forget about the ones who just happened to don a Gamecock uniform for a period of time.

I booked 5. It would be selfish of me to only go if players don't opt out. I'm going to pull for the players that play. They deserve our support. Unconditional love.

What you're doing is no different than what they are doing. Making a decision based on what is best for yourself and your family.

They deserve "unconditional love?" Are we talking about football players here? Support sure, but that seems a bit too much.

You are obviously not a pumper.

He's a bit touched in the head. Likely from eating a few too many sausages.

Are you implying he's gay because he supports our players?

Well we know where your head is at!

Nothing gay mention, dear. Just read the poster-in-question's screen name, DA!

Also supporting athletes does not have to mean you unconditionally love them. Though it gives me a new perspective on KC fans wearing Mahomes jerseys.

Very well said. Say it louder for the people in the back of the room!

Those Doctor of Arts majors can be snarky.

Oh, I just bet it was!

Because it really struck me as something evil to say to a fellow Gamecock that you don't know. And doubling down on it shows you are an inferior human being. So you be you I guess.

Hey, sounds like a great time to hit the beautiful Jacksonville beaches and see the Gamecocks play the Fighting Irish. Flights are cheat so live it up.
Just think what great memories your children will have of making the trip with their dear old Dad.

You're still totally missing it. Pretty pathetic.

I want them to remember their dear old dad being in a pleasant mood during the night of 12/30/22.

Must be tough to go through life like that.

He's obviously a higher form of human being. Yes, I'm done now.

Who is the 3rd key contributor? I've got Cam and Jaheim. Are you considering Stogner a key contributor?

Yes. His blocking ability & how we can get in certain advantageous formations make him a key contributor.

YOU FREAKIN' IDIOT!!!! You absolutely did not do what you said you would do. Now you will have wasted thousands to go watch the equivalent of a pick up game.

I thought about going, but this is starting to look like our JV team vs. Notre Dame's JV team. I was excited to make a bowl and now I just don't care that much to spend $ for it. College football is on life support and NIL and the transfer portal may just pull the plug.

Yep, I went full stupid & thought all the momentum & good feels we had going would cause the overwhelming majority of players to wanna whip Notre Dame & finish as one of the hottest teams in the nation. I underestimated the selfishness of a millennial. By the time 1/1/23 gets here, I will have wasted thousands going to watch a Carolina team that never once took the field this year in it's current form.

I REALLY, REALLY hope Beamer tells the quitters to hit the bricks & they're in no way, shape, or fashion around the team for bowl prep & bowl festivities.
