Why are Scar fans calling this our Superbowl?

[VOLSBEERS1992]

I am trying to figure out if I am missing something. The last two alternate jersey games were against Austin Peay and Kentucky. It actually seems like we wear alternates in games that aren't that big to us to spark a little extra interest if anything. The black jerseys wouldn't make sense.

I was looking at tickets this week and UGA and A&M both are more expensive home games to get in the door for than SCAR. So out of our 4 conference home games its only ahead of vandy as far as being easiest ticket.

I'm left either assuming its just them trying to legitimize themselves and preparing it as a hedge for their excuse when they inevitably lose? Or maybe I missed a quote or something? Can someone help me out?

Because they are not very bright?

After all, they chose to be SC fans.

 

[CNCVol88]

The current policy from Danny white is against Florida, Georgia and bama we wear traditional orange. Alternates are for lesser opponents. They just want to make their eternally mid program seem more Relevant than they are

Could be because last year folks referred to the Tennessee and Clemson games as their super bowl.

 

[molsen81]

They are delusional and have clearly forgotten who they are. A lifetime .500 record and they have never won a college football national championship. On Saturday, we will be honoring our 1998 national championship team also known as Al Wilson's Army.

 

[Imallvol]

living here in SC, you are 100% correct,

 

[woodpusher]

Clemson, ordinarily their fiercest rival, is down this year.
They also play Florida (3-1), @ TAMU (3-1), @ Mizzou (4-0), and Kentucky (4-0).

Confused. How is the uniform you wear an indication of respect for the opponent? Purely entertainment or for the players/recruits.

I prefer the Grays over the black.

PS- years ago someone did a study on the effects of uniform colors on football teams. Supposedly dark colors like black or gray correlated to the highest level of aggression. Red and Maroon was next. Not sure about orange but colors like UNC... were less. Maybe nothing. But I guess there could be some psychology involved in the color of uniform you wear.

I hope we play like it is. Could be the moment we get the season going the way it should

Columbia, SC is a geographical oddity: they are two to three hours from everywhere--Charlotte, Atlanta, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Greenville. Their fans are isolated and delusional--they think they're relevant every year, but it always turns out it will be next year. Let 'em fantasize.

Gamecocks better be careful. Last thing they want to do is make Al Wilson angry. If so he might very well go grab a jersey and cause Spencer Rattler to have nightmares

 

[Pride85]

They are delusional

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

This IS a big game. Our schools have been very competitive the last 15 years or so and this century I think we have a whopping 5 more wins than they do. Our history before 2000 is way better than their's but the last several decades we've been closer to peers with them than we have with our Big 3 rivals who have largely dominated us.

 

['Boro-vol]

Because they are the short bus school of the SEC.

I still refuse to accept their admittance to the conference.

If the conference could go back and undo SC, Arky and Mizzou…keep aTm, Texas and Oklahoma…and round it out with Florida State….we’d all be better for it.

 

[Hurley Mooncalf]

I suppose their fans are looking at the fact that they have won 9 of the last 18 against TN, they consider it a rivalry. I don't think of it that way but the span of suck in our program for near two decades knocked us down a LOT.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Fact is, they beat the ever loving fool out of the Vols last year and can talk all they want. It's up to the current Vols to take back bragging rights, and for the Neyland crowd to make it a little bit more likely.

 

[ProudVOLfan]

Our superbowl?

 

[HARTUPM]

For me our super bowl is either UF or bama. I guess you can throw UGA in there. South crackalackee is nothing more than a Kentucky caliber average sec opponent we have on the schedule every year. Hey I was at the 2009 game when we busted out in the black jerseys and proceeded to beat the chicken sh!t out of them in all 3 phases for 4 quarters. Reckon they remember that game?

 

[Matt2496]

They’re just trying to make themselves feel relevant.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Well, they think Michelob is imported, so...

 

[BanditVol]

Mid major penis envy

 

[Panthro]

It’s not our Super Bowl, but I do think the season hinges on this game.
If we get the win, it could be enough of a confidence booster to get this team back on-track for the season we were hoping for.
A loss could lead to internal issues and a real feeling of dejection.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

To give themselves a built-in excuse for when their team loses Saturday.

Our superbowl?
