South Carolina game

[Proud Army Wife]

I am only able to make one home game per year, and picked the SC game for all the reasons listed above. My daughter and I will be there giving our all and screaming our lungs out until the lung lining is missing.

Remember what our defense did to the two Pitt QBs last year? Yeah, that and more for SC.

62-13 Vols.

I’m going to the game with my dad too! What section will y’all be in?

 

[Chasvol]

I live in Mt Pleasant also and married to a Gamecock plus in-laws and both my kids graduated from USuck. As a UT Alumni, I'm quietly hoping we beat the holy s**t out of them. Been married for 20 yrs and glad that we beat them most of those years. I still remind my wife that T Martin broke the NCAA for consecutive completed passes at USuck and they have never even been to a football nat'l champ game. There are a ton of Gamecocks in Mt Pleasant. Half of our engineering office are Gamecock grads and actually outnumber the Clemmers. 11 of 14 SEC schools are represented in our office. 4 of us are UT grads.

I’m in MP as well. Had no idea you and DonDiego are here as well. Where is your local watering hole?

 

[JohnWardForever]

I hope you aren’t suggesting our edge rushers go all Gollum on him. That would be no class

No I meant so He could count to 10. NO, I just want his azz to be too sore to sit on .

 

[livefaith]

At least you don't live here in SC. The only thing that could have been worse would've been losing to Clemson as I live about 10 minutes from there. USC fans remember beating Clemson and Tennessee last year. Nothing else.

That's a pretty good thing to remember. The rest was horrific - the 2 anomalies.

 

[vavolfan6]

He beat us. We endure this crap until the scales are righted.

Sure, but the antics are just leading to us Tennessee fans to give them hell once we beat them. No let up. Fans are going to be rowdy this time around.

You have a great dad!

We will be in QQ right next to you in PP as I think you mentioned above.

You will probably be able to hear us losing our lungs in QQ from PP and likewise I'm sure with y'all in PP. I'll look up our row and seats if y'all want to stop by for a few high fives.

QQ was a bit subdued for the Florida game last year. I hope it is rocking loud and steady this year for SC from kickoff until our 90th point in the 4th. .

 

[Orange931]

Same here OP. They know they got lucky because of our locker room disagreement. You don’t score only 7 the previous week against Florida and all of a sudden magically turn it on. They know our defense laid down, but it won’t happen this year because Banks is gone.

I’m a great daughter. I bought our tickets and I’m flying in from Denver. It will be the first game we’ve gone to together. Really though, my dad is the main reason I’m a Vol fan. He raised me well

Send me your rows and seats and we’ll absolutely stop by! We’re die-hard crazy fans lol. He doesn’t know it yet, but I bought my dad this shirt to wear to the game

are you worry PP will have rogue florida fans about?

ya know, cause they're monsters.

 

[Smokey X]

Oh I Care about the points we score. I want a number that will stun the nation. I want a number that Beamer will still be remembering in his retirement.

I won't be satisfied unless the number is so lopsided that the talking heads lead every segment with how the win was horrible, unnecessary and unsportsmanlike.

All I have heard since January is how bad South Carolina Gamecocks blasted my Vols in regular season play last year. I have heard their coach bragging several times about this game and how much it has enhanced their program. Let me just say a few comments about what I would like to see in the up coming football year. Sure, I would love to see the Vols win every game , but there is one game that stands out for me more than any on our schedule. That game is the Gamecocks from South Carolina. Vols, we owe them a big favor, and that is thrashing them into reality on the field this year. We need to humiliate them at Neyland Stadium to the best of our ability. We need to send them back to the Chicken Coop where they belong and bring them down to earth. Let me urge all Vol fans to come to this game and make the noise level against Alabama (last year) sound like nothing as to compared to what the chickens are going to hear this year at Neyland. Everyone at South Carolina seems to think that Rattler is the second coming of Knute Rockney. Vols, we ask you to continue to have their quarterback on the ground as much as possible and bring him back to reality. We need an old fashion butt whoopin for this game..................GO BIG ORANGE ! NOW, IT IS OUR TURN TO DO SOME BRAGGING !!!!!

I am getting married in a few weeks...I live in South Carolina. The first game I ever took my fiancé to, was the Tennessee @ South Carolina game last year. I was very much expecting an easy win. South Carolina had just gotten crushed the week before, not even scoring 1 offensive point. I thought it would be a great way to introduce her to an in person game experience. We get to Columbia, wearing our orange of course, and she gets cussed at by a South Carolina fan while standing in line to use the restroom in the restaurant we were at. Not a huge deal, right? We are expecting a win, and deep down, they are expecting a loss. Anything else would have been foolish.

We leave the restaurant, and we are walking down towards the stadium, and we had to go to the far side of the stadium. We were trying to get through the crowd of people to get to the stadium, so my dad asked this Gamecock fan if we could just slip by him so we could continue walking to our seats. This dude tries to start a fight with my dad. Luckily, there were some reasonable Gamecock fans there as well that let us through so we could keep going.

Finally get to the stadium, and we are getting smack talked like I have never seen. But it's fine right? Because this SHOULD be a cake walk tonight.

The night was awful. Left midway through the third quarter because it was genuinely starting to feel a bit hostile. Also, we all had a headache from being directly under the speakers all night long. If it weren't for those speakers, that stadium wouldn't be anywhere near as "loud" as people say it is.

"Why do you type all this out?" I hear you ask me. The answer is simple really...I want us to absolutely destroy and embarrass the South Carolina Gamecocks this year. I have had a horrible taste in my mouth over this game for a year. I hope we score 100 points and we are somehow able to get the Gamecocks to score negative points.

GBO

As someone who also lives in SC...what you say is true.

 

[PreacherWebb'sSon]

By far the worst behaved fans at an opposing stadium that I have ever dealt with. They were rude and obnoxious before the game even started. I hope we put 70+ on them

Ya know what? I have heard so many horror stories about how terrible our fans were treated there, and it makes me mad because while we have some crazies of our own, for the most part, we’re known to be a gracious fanbase to visiting fans. I went to the ‘19 Miss State game in Neyland and sat on the visitors side. There was 0 confrontation from either side. Now I realize that was a different situation and not a high stakes game, but still. Heck, one state fan sent me with cash to the beer line and told me to buy one for myself. I’m a firm believer in sportsmanship, but, after hearing these horror stories of the SC fans, to hell with them. I hope we show them the same “courtesy” they showed us come Sept 30th. Go Vols!

 

[Hulavol]

They gonna wish they had never heard of Tennessee when this is done.
I sat in there last year with my kid and everyone knew they were dead meat when HH scored so easily to tie that thing up at seven. Except, they kept the ball and scored every time they had it. It was irritating, then it became annoying, then it became concerning—but you knew we weren’t going to actually lose to these pedestrian rubes… and then we were getting blown out. And then HH went down. And then it was suddenly ugly.

And the pathetic pre game video and the rooster crowing and the jumbo tron and all the crap they have to do to make it an “event” to presumably sell tickets seemed like a minor league baseball game.

I was honestly a little embarrassed for them from that standpoint - but also oddly proud of them for showing such undying support for what is very arguably the worst football program in the history of the sport… and then that feeling of respect towards them was quickly replaced with dismay at their gloating. Deep down they have to know that was beyond a fluke - a perfect storm for them - and hats off to ‘em. But the attitude displayed by those morons is beyond reason. And believe me- I live right in the middle of them.

So to sum -have you ever looked forward to pushing an unwanted orphan in a wheelchair off a cliff into the ocean ? Me neither … until now.

I might even feel sorry for them again when their overworked trainers have hauled the last of their carnage off of SW field …. But I seriously doubt it.

Dead mother trucking meat…thy name is gamecocks.

I was also there last year. It was terrible. Worst football game I’ve ever been to in person, and I’m not even talking about losing. The SC fans that were there were awful.

I see I've been lucky. I've made it to semi-retirement age without too much stress. My wife hates all sports, but I can usually recruit one familial person to go crazy with me in front of my TV each game. That, plus three Coronas tend to work.

We owe South Carolina an ass thrashing by 50 points.

 

[BLUTickbusdriver]

Need to bring A LOT more pass rush this year than we did last year! If so, then we win easily. GBO!

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Looking back on it, that game pisses me off just as much if not more than the 2016 South Carolina and vandy debacles. It’s been so long but Being #1 comes with a heavy weight and target. But I’ve also heard the coaches and players have that one circled and have learned how to be the hunted.

 

[Shades]

I’m a great daughter. I bought our tickets and I’m flying in from Denver. It will be the first game we’ve gone to together. Really though, my dad is the main reason I’m a Vol fan. He raised me well

Send me your rows and seats and we’ll absolutely stop by! We’re die-hard crazy fans lol. He doesn’t know it yet, but I bought my dad this shirt to wear to the game

Yeah, looks like I royally flubbed that one up, which I have been known to do on way too many occasions. Great dad AND great daughter!

He's gonna love that shirt, and my daughter thought it was awesome too.

Being this is your first game together with him, I'm sure it will be a great and memorable experience.

We will be in row 25, seats 7-8.

Go Vols!

 

[SpookyAction]

Sure, but the antics are just leading to us Tennessee fans to give them hell once we beat them. No let up. Fans are going to be rowdy this time around.

I definitely want this noise to continue.
It reminds me of the 1992 season after a very bad USCjr team upset us and QB Steve Taneyhill couldn't keep his yap shut. 1993 was 55-3.

 

[volfanstuckinga]

This is the ONE game this year I am going to.....and for all the reasons listed in the OP. Just gotta find reasonable tickets lol.

Also....PRAYING it's a night game
