He sees it as a sign of mediocrity. When USC played Alabama, I heard something, often, in the background. Alabama celebrating their first downs. I heard Tennessee play Rocky Top on big ... FIRST DOWNS. Does he want those schools to stop too? You know, Sic, I think, would lay off a little bit if we’d stop celebrating first downs. He sees it as a sign of mediocrity.

It seemed like things had finally come together under third-year head coach Steve Spurrier, and a New Year’s Day Bowl and BCS bid finally appeared to be within reach for legions of long-suffering Gamecock fans. Of course, Carolina proceeded to choke against Vanderbilt and Tennessee, get blown out by Arkansas and Florida, and do what they always do against Clemson … find a way lose. At 6-6, the Gamecocks will now be lucky to get a bid to the toilet bowl" Hmmm I thought i had lived the 2009 season before. This one is oddly similar to the 2007 meltdown. The more time passes the more losing stays the same at South Carolina. “Six weeks ago, South Carolina was 6-1 and ranked No. 6 in the nation.

We always seem to hire someone in the twilight of their career. Spurrier was a great coach but from another era. We need someone who can inspire discipline and confidence in his players. Many of our players are undisciplined goof offs who end up in 5 Points bar fights or get arrested for drunkeness or drug posssession. The university needs to up the ante and provide no second chances for idiots. This level of discipline will recruit players who want to play and learn. I agree with hiring a young coach.
