The South Carolina message boards are a mess right now. Defeatism, coaching search, utter disdain for the Defensive Coordinator, Clemson hate, and a lack of excitement about this coming Saturday.

Here's what the Cock-faithful are saying about Saturday's match in Neyland.



--------------------------------------------------------------------




-The majority of their boards are comprised mostly of coaching rumors.

-They all generally believe the spread is too high, and they cover fairly easily.

-They really want a defensive coaching change. I saw the word "petition" flying around a few times. It's not just defensive performance, apparently defensive scheme is what they are so upset about.

-This theme is pretty prominent:

We're losing to UTjr and Florida no matter what we do, so we might as well go all in and hope for the best against Clemson.
Also wouldn't be a bad idea to have UA whip up some special jerseys for the game.

-Ouch:

Drew Lock replaced the suspended, douche-tastic Maty Mauk for his first ever SEC start, and ripped off another statistical gem vs USC. Since that time, he has not thrown another TD at all, and has yet to break 50% completions vs any other SEC defense.

-Talent synopsis from their board (per 247):

I did this with UK last week and found some interesting things about the collection of talent on UK's team compared to UT. Saturday night we saw what the numbers suggestion. One team completely outclassed the other talent wise. I thought I would take a look at USCe collection of talent and again some interesting things popped up. Here are the numbers: (ratings are the 247 composite)
UT's 1st string Offense: 89.99 2nd string: 89.94 
USCe 1st string Offense: 84.40 2nd string: 85.68 (due to a highly rated backup OL) 
UT's 1st string Defense: 87.81 2nd string: 89.03 
USCe 1st string Defense: 87.92 2nd String: 87.78

-They believe interim HC Shawn Elliot is going to go all in for this game. The opinion of their message boards is that Elliot really wants the HC job, and a loss here would seal his fate. A win, on the other hand, could potentially make him a strong candidate.

-Gamecock fan's opinion of Butch:

Your Vols are not a great team...But you have a couple of good skill players... Butch Jones is an idiot with the x&o's but his teams plays hard on every down...I give him great credit for that..

-More Butch (addressing a UT fan on their board):

EVol, I like you...But i'll bet right now, Tenn has to fire Butch Jones after next season...Tennessee will never accept mediocrity...That's all Butch Jones can give you

-They have serious respect for Dobbs. Every game discussion includes several variations of "Dobbs is going to kill us" and "Dobbs is on fire right now."

-They feel they will slow our passing game, but the 3-headed monster will have a field day rushing (their rush defense is last in the SEC)

-It could be negative fanbase-related, but most of the posters I see talking about UT and Texas A&M seem to think we are better than A&M, for what it's worth.

-Just like every other year, the talks of how "Tennessee plays dirty" are floating around, bringing up the Lattimore hit.

-Speaking of Lattimore, not related to this game, but apparently they are bringing him in to help decide on who the new coach will be. A classy move IMO. Here's a link about it:

Marcus Lattimore will have role in finding new USC football coach | The State

-General score predictions are all over the place, but most have us winning by 10-12 points or so.




Honestly there is some chatter on their boards about this game, but it wasn't easy to find. Their boards are swamped with defeatism and coaching search talk.

Let's go out with another curb stomping this weekend in Neyland.

Nice write up as always. They are delusional if they think this will stay within 10-12 points. Consider: a true freshman making his first start carved them up for 220 pass and 160 rush yards and 2 td's last week. They also gave up 120 rush yards to A&M's RB, for a grand total of 320 rush yards, and over 540 yards total. If a true freshman can do that to South Carolina's defense, and we saw what Dobbs did to them last year, imagine what Dobbs, Hurd and Kamara will do this year. I think we could put up 500 rush yards if we wanted to. Should be fun.

I think Elliot has SC fired up right now. His energy is rubbing off on them.

With that said, they won't like the scoreboard Saturday night when it hits 00:00. Everything is starting to hit on all cylinders whether it be the offense, defense or the coaches gameplan and adjustments.

Just way to many weapons for us and its in OUR house!

Thanks chatt for the post!

Butch beat SC (and Spurrier) with a worse team vs a better SC team last year, and a FAR worse team vs a FAR better SC team in 13. I'm not worried about this one. Go Vols

I hope all of ya'll are correct and it is a UT blow out. I will be there and would enjoy a stress free day at the old ball park. The last USC at Neyland was certainly not stress free

I live in SC and am tired of cock fans. I'm soo happy Clemson is #1 in the playoff rankings at the moment because it eats at them. They act like SC has a hundred year history of being a great team and we have a hundred year history of 5-7. A complete game like we had against Kentucky will make me a very happy man going to work next week and they will be quiet and trying to avoid me like the last two weeks. Although, I don't talk crap after a win like they do.

I like Elliot and we can all relate to him. He was a USCE fan since he was born, so put yourself in his shoes as a Tenn fan that became HC.

That being said, I hope we win. But I do hope elliot wins out from there. He's a likable guy.

I know. I've gotten several requests for it. My problem is I wouldn't want to do it after a loss..... and we still lose a lot haha. And only doing it after wins seems..... I dunno.... childish? That's not the right word, but you see what I'm getting at.
