but they follow the same old pattern and keep getting the same old results.
No vision at all and can't see anything past wins and losses.
Read the Frank Beamer story and give it some serious thought. Knee jerk reactions have serious consequenses.
This kind of publicity is not good for the program and the hard work put in and successful recruiting of guys we've never gotten a look from in the past.

I think recruits should know what they are getting into beyond being told what they want to hear from the coaches recruiting them.

Hopefully they like the idea and challenge of proving fair weathered fans wrong and giving them something new to talk about.

James Madison has been D1 since 2021 I believe. Sun Belt conference doesn't compare to SEC. They are currently 25 in coaches poll. Impressive since coming up to D1FCS. I doubt SC football would be at this position even as a Sun Belt conference member. Let alone having D1 status much longer than them. I can't understand how SC remains in this situation for football. Been a fan for over 45 years, I'm frustrated!

Best con job in college sports every year. Get excited, go to the Gamecock spring meetings and get that SOS told to us every year and we buy that crap. Then go out on the field and put on the worst S____ show. I'm just peed off.

Recruits should consult the twitter trolls and message bird geniuses before making a decision? That’s hilarious!

It’s as much a part of football as the laces on the ball. Calm down Karen.

Is Beamer a better recruiter than Spurrier? I would have to say yes, Spurrier recruited on his name not his effort, I thinks Shane works at it! Either way I think they’re selling the same thing, to come and be a part of turning something around, it worked for Spurrier especially with the in-state and border kids, but then again SOS didn’t have to deal with nil! I heard the other day Uga’s nil budget is 80 mil, what is ours 2-2.5! Going to be hard to compete with that no matter how hard you work at it!

When you can’t get guys to stick around or pan out, you are always gonna be behind the sticks. I stated it before, look at the past 4 classes and see who left, produced, finished and are playing currently. It’s a small number

NIL will make this even harder for a small $$$ program like ours. In the past, there were a lot of posters on here that wanted NIL. Not many of those NIL positive posters anymore. Wonder why

I won’t blame him for not getting Muschamp guys to stick around. If that trend continues with guys he recruiting then it’s a problem.

I’m skeptical of anything I hear about NIL. It’s a brand new industry with certain folks jockeying for position. What have we seen? Juice is the “NIL king of the SEC”, gets so many deals that they’re having to turn people away bc he doesn’t have time for it, and we’ve heard Ratt is bringing in $2M. I don’t think we matched what Oregon had for Nyck, but damnit we got close enough. But the profiteers need you to believe we’re in dire straights. I think we’ll be just fine with NIL. Guys still want to play. And the more they play the more deals they get. We can offer plenty of opportunities.

I read and hear about all these huge NIL numbers but I never see a player in a commercial. If a player is supposedly getting millions in NIL money, shouldn't they be on something the general public sees? For $1 million I think I could hire a pretty big name pro athlete or movie personality to do a commercial for me. Letting some college player drive a vehicle I sell seems like a very low ceiling advertising campaign.

Haven't you learned by now to not bring logic and common sense into board discussions? Lol

Bc most of it is bs. Whatever Ratt is getting from the Benz guy is waaaaayyyy too much, and maybe that guy doesn’t care that’s what it important to him. I’m sure there are some that are legit. But most aren’t doing for some big ROI on their marketing spend.

I'm thinking (hoping) that may be the way NIL gets reigned in by the feds or the NCAA. If the collectives and the people like the car dealers had to disclose how much they paid and what they paid for from the player that might provide some sort of mechanism for regulation.
