South Carolina at #8Clemson

[LurkerExposed]

Lol. Ban worthy. Even Carolina’s best years they still lose 3-5 games. Beamer is a clown and nothing more.

Explain this thought process: Tennessee and South Carolina are now 9-9 against each other over the last 18 seasons. That's dead even, over a period of years that have seen three (3) head coaches for South Carolina, and six (6) head coaches for Tennessee. That seems like it's as even between both programs as it can be, for almost a 5th of a century......

I have to give South Carolina credit for getting together as a team it's not easy to beat the #5 team in the Nation and the #7 team in the National in consecutive weeks. I think South Carolina will be playing North Carolina State in the ReliaQuest Bowl.

In my opinion, SC has a ceiling that we don't have. In fact, now would be a good time to start the Beamer to Auburn rumors.

By your opinion, you mean fanbase bias. That's a thing with every fanbase. But in those same 18 years, South Carolina has a better conference record (69-77 .473) and overall record (130-97 .573) than Tennessee (60-86 .411 and 119-104 .534). In those 18 years, South Carolina's "ceiling" has been higher. Was that what you meant? If we're going to hang on past history that took place decades ago, then Vanderbilt fans should expect to beat Tennessee every year, based on that fanbase bias......

I don’t think you know what ceiling means. Lol he means South Carolinas best possible season is maybe sneaking into the SEC championship if none of UGA, UT, and UF are elite just to get blasted by a west team. Tennessees ceiling is a national title. The past 18 years are irrelevant.

No, SC can only do so good, they are not a destination job, and probably never will be.

If Tennessee had some reason to remain as terrible as they were for the last 18 years, then this would make perfect sense. It really would.

Nobody knows the future. We only know the past. You can argue that the past tells us what the future will be, and that's fine. It's just not very interesting.
