Re: I've got the updated version for TNets enjoyment.......

Hope someone does the research and updates it after 2016 season.

THIS IS SOUTH CAROLINA FOOTBALL

Following the 2011 football season South Carolina has an all-time winning percentage of .507 (555-539-44), which ranks 47th out of all college football teams considered major schools in college football (76)….only 29 teams are worse. A few of the notable “MAJOR” football programs who have been better than the Gamecocks include such powerhouses as: Tulsa, Utah, Minnesota, Navy, and Purdue, just to name a few. This is South Carolina football.

In the 69 seasons South Carolina has been affiliated with a conference, they have won that conference once...the ACC in 1969, with a 7-4 record. Since the Associated Press began ranking football teams in 1936, the ##### have finished in the Top 20 of the rankings only six times in those 77 years. South Carolina has finished in the Top 10 of a major recognized poll...ONCE in 2011, the best season in their entire history with 11 wins. That year the entire team received rings for going 11-2 and for finishing a tough, hard fought 5th place in the SEC. As they say in tee ball, everyone is a winner. This is South Carolina football.

The first year of Gamecock football was in 1892, South Carolina won its first bowl game 103 years later under BRAD SCOTT. In 120 seasons of football, South Carolina never participated in a pre-BCS major bowl (Rose, Fiesta, Orange, Cotton, and Sugar) and has yet to receive a BCS invite. As South Carolina is set to begin its 121st season of collegiate football, they have won 11 or more games in a single season once. In 120 seasons, Carolina has won more games than it lost only 56 times. In 120 seasons, Carolina has won more than 6 games in a season 23 times, and lost 6 or more 38 times. This is South Carolina football.

South Carolina has had 33 different head coaches in its storied tradition...only six of them have stayed longer than 5 seasons, while 21 of them have losing records. “It’s another Carolina Touchdown!?”…not quite. Of the 56 programs, which have played more than 1000 games all-time, only four have scored fewer points than South Carolina in their schools history. This is South Carolina football.

Since joining the SEC in 1992, Carolina has had a winning record in the conference five times in 20 years. In the 21 seasons as a member of the SEC, South Carolina boasts a conference record of 66-94-1. Although South Carolina has yet to win the SEC, they have finished 0-8 in the conference twice. South Carolina has won six conference games in a season once. Only Kentucky, Ole Miss, and Vanderbilt have less 6 conference win seasons. This is South Carolina football.

Of the most memorable moments in their history is the fact that South Carolina went two consecutive seasons without winning one conference game. That’s right, not one. Carolina had an impressive string of 21 consecutive games with a loss snapped in 2000 by beating New Mexico State (and to let the rest of the country know what South Carolina football was all about, their fans commenced to tear down the goal-posts. No, I am not kidding). This is South Carolina football.

Since 1992, only three times has any non-probation member of the conference failed to win two or more games overall in a season…South Carolina has accomplished this feat twice, Kentucky once. Since 1992, only once has a conference member failed to win a game overall in a single season…you guessed it, South Carolina. South Carolina’s all-time record versus other current conference members is even more impressive: 3-12 vs Alabama, 7-13 vs Arkansas, 1-9-1 vs Auburn, 6-23-3 vs Florida, 15-42-2 vs Georgia, 15-7-1 vs Kentucky, 2-16-1 vs LSU, 7-8 vs Ole Miss, 8-6 vs Mississippi St., 6-22-2 vs Tennessee, and 17-4 vs Vanderbilt. That’s correct, Carolina leads the all-time series against 3 SEC teams...Kentucky, Miss St. and Vanderbilt. This is South Carolina football.

But, the comparison of only 21 seasons in one conference does no justice to the tradition of South Carolina football. Comparing the ##### record versus D-1A schools they have played 15 or more times: 40-65-4 vs Clemson, 17-24-3 vs Duke, 6-23-3 vs Florida, 15-42-2 vs Georgia, 9-11 vs Georgia Tech, 11-17 vs Maryland, 17-32-4 vs North Carolina, 3-16 vs Florida State, 6-22-2 vs Tennessee, 21-12-1 vs Virginia, and 34-20-2 vs Wake Forest. That’s correct, South Carolina leads the all-time series against 2 of these 11 teams...Virginia and Wake Forest. This is South Carolina football.

Gamecock fans justify their horrible football record thru the strength of the SEC conference. But let’s look at the Gamecock’s record against the other big 5 conferences. South Carolina is 156-173-15 vs the ACC, 4-7 vs the Big 12, 6-17 vs the Big East, 5-4 vs the Big Ten and 1-1 s Pac12. This is South Carolina Football.

2003 was the season that the ##### would rebuild and compete for a SEC title with their consecutive top 10 recruiting classes. Yet, they finished the season with another sub 500 performance. That season ended with a 63-17 thumping at home from archrival Clemson. This is South Carolina football.

In 2005 a new era began for the Gamecocks as they hire legendary coach Steve Spurrier. They opened up their wallets (and another grave plot in their cemetery of washed up head coaches) for what surely would be the coach to get them on the road to glory. After 6 seasons under coach Spurrier the Gamecocks have yet to win the SEC and have seen 45 players and coaches arrested. This is South Carolina football.

In 2007 the Gamecocks got off to a roaring 6-1 start after beating #12 Georgia and #8 Kentucky. Surely this would be the year that all the Gamecock faithful had been yearning for. It was finally the “Next Year”! But hold the presses. After beating #8 Kentucky and garnering a rank as high as #6 in the country, those Gamecocks lost to lowly Vanderbilt that started a Gamecock trademarked “fall from grace” to lose their last 5 games and finish 6-6 for the season. This is South Carolina football.

The very next season, in 2008, those South Carolina Gamecocks got right back up and at it again beginning the season with a 7-2 record. But again those BCS hopes were dashed by a 56-6 #### whoopin’ from those Florida Gators. South Carolina would go on to lose their last 3 games of the season to finish 7-5. This is South Carolina football.

In 2009, with rival Clemson clinching the Atlantic Division in the ACC, the South Carolina Gamecocks had lost 3 straight and were sitting on a 6-5 record. When those Tigers came to town, those Gamecocks took advantage of turnovers and dampened the mood for the ACC Championship bound Tigers…. “Was this the end of the dreaded Chicken Curse?” the faithful coots prayed. But Ol’ Pitchfork Ben Tillman could only chuckle as UConn slammed the Gamecocks 20-7 in the Papa Johns.com bowl. This is South Carolina football.

In 2010 the Gamecocks got off to yet another historical start with a 9-3 record. They finally managed to win the SEC East division title. This is it! The moment that they had all been waiting for! The SEC Championship game in Atlanta! Surely a 9-3 East Champions would hang with undefeated Auburn in the Championship game! But again, Ol’ Ben chuckled loudly as Auburn pounded the Gamecocks 56-17. The Gamecocks would go on to lose the Chick Fil A bowl to Florida State 26-17. This is South Carolina football.

As starting QB for South Carolina from 2009-2011, Stephen Garcia had managed 3 arrests, 5 different suspensions and never missed one minute of playing time. In the summer of 2011, the reason behind Garcia’s behavior and lack of punishment became crystal clear to all the critics. An incident occurred that explained everything to those wondering how a young man could get away with so much. With Garcia already serving an indefinite suspension for violation of team rules, on July 26th, 2011 Quarter Backs coach G.A. Mangus was arrested in Greenville, SC after urinating on Main Street. G.A. was immediately suspended indefinitely by Coach Spurrier. Seven days later both G.A. and Garcia were reinstated to the team on the same day, just in time for the start of fall camp. This is South Carolina football.

The 2011 season brought yet another heart break for those poor Gamecocks. In 2011 the Gamecocks went 11-2 with a bowl win over Nebraska. However, they became the first collegiate football team in history to defeat all of their division rivals but still lose their division. they also became the first team in history to defeat all of their division rivals and finish 5th or worse in overall conference play. "But that's ok", they say. "We have our 5th place rings." This is South Carolina football.

Now, with another football season right around the corner in 2012, the South Carolina Gamecocks will trot out to the practice fields, 5th place rings blinging in the sun, in hopes of finding Glory. But we simply wait for another event to occur where we can smile, shake our head and simply say “THAT is South Carolina football.”

I've got the updated version for TNets enjoyment.......

Oct 22, 2015, 6:05 PM

Well, this one's a little different as I documented the many failures they've encountered this year. It continues to grow all the time....

"They play in the toughest division, in the toughest league in that nation- I don't think Spurrier wins the SEC or the national title. I don't care if he coaches here 400 years!" -Lee Corso
One year at a time Lee. One at a time. Grab your popcorn and get ready to laugh.

January 1st- Tough start to the year as the scar crimson tide lose to Ohio St. No vicarious title again this year.

January 2nd- Columbia Walmarts swamped with bama tshirt returns in exchange for UK hoops shirts.

January 6th- Ruh roh, Arden Key decommits. But that's ok, they claim they didn't really want him.... "we have a loaded class at DL, and Key is too light at 230 to be an every down DE for us, perhaps he wanted to go somewhere where there was less competition." per FGF. DO WHAT?!

January 16th- Oh no! Mark Fields visits Clemson!

January 19th- Mark Fields committs to Clemson...

February 2 2015- This was a perhaps the best day of the year! We learned that "Zach Bailey has all-sec written all over him." per Phil Kornblut. Also, we learned that the McCloud guy might not be headed to Clemson also via Phil. Let's not also forget Phil was right on his commitment day projection as well "News not expected to be good tonight for Clemson with McCloud." Boy, that Phil knows his stuff.

February 2nd- CB target Damon Arnette decommits.

February 4th- Signing Day
Damon Arnette commits to Ohio St.
-DE prospect Chauncey Rivers signs with UGA

February 18th- DL Blake McClain leaves school.

February 18th- LB Marquis Roberts leaves school.

February 23rd- Former commit Michael Bowman arrested for theft at a NC Walmart. "On the footage a man was seen using bolt cutters to cut a hole through the fence in the garden section of the Walmart. The man was seen going back into the store, gathering items and then pushing them through the hole out of the store."

February 27th- Baseball vs Clemson! Oops, 11-4 loss.

March 1st- A classic way to start off a month as Victor Hampton was jailed for DWI, speeding, wreckless driving and open container. In fairness, he was only doing 100 in a 55 zone... Investigators said two other men were passengers in Hampton’s vehicle and attempted to hide their weapons under the front passenger seat before the trooper approached them.

March 2nd- Game 3 vs Clemson for the series! Woops, 7-0 Tigers...

March 3rd- Shameik Blackshear's first court date. Going to trial, didn't have to appear. TBA. I'll bet my house that nothing ever becomes of this, mark my words.

March 4th- Another fitting gem for the clowns, check out Kyle Markway's pic- (scroll down to this specific date) Has this dude been drinking? Did they really have to make him look any more hideous than he already is? http://247sports.com/Player/Kyle-Markway-33290/Feeds

March 5th- Major power outage on campus. Finger painting classes canceled.

March 7th- Well, everybody makes mistakes, right? A thief wearing a Gamecocks hat was caught on camera brazenly picking out a $600 Dewalt Drill Combo Pack from the Martinez, GA Lowe’s and leaving the store without paying. Authorities say the man may have been driving a Dodge Ram truck with a South Carolina tag. A disguise you ask? Not hardly...

March 17th- Demetris Summers trial for possesion of crack with intent to distribute and possesion of a weapon is delayed. More on him later too.

March 24th- Robbery on campus at "Upper Roost Parking Lot." Gosh, I bet that's the first and last time, right....

March 26th- DE Dexter Wideman held from practice again for missing classes.

April 2nd- Well, cameras are everywhere nowadays. Everybody knows that, right? Wrong. A scar student apparently thought it would be a good idea to write a racial slur on a "white board" during a class. The impending picture of the said action went viral on Twitter. Bless her little heart.

April 3rd- One less QB as Brendan Nosovitch transfers.

April 4th- The student who wrote the slur is suspended. UGA, Auburn, and Bama are possible transfer spots.

April 4th- Doom and gloom hits as UK loses in hoops, no vicarious title this year.

April 4th- Lady cawks in Final Four!

April 5th- Lady cawks out of Final Four... parade and national holiday immenent.

April 30th- Former sec player charged with murdering his girlfriend's son. Former LSU and scar player Steven Singleton arrested by Gwinnett Co Police for felony murder and first degree cruelty to a child. According to police, Singleton laid out his version of what happened that night: Tye was sitting in a chair eating while Singleton was in another room. He heard a thump and then saw Tye on the floor. Tye was unresponsive with his eyes rolled back in his head. When he was carrying Tye to the bathroom, he accidentally hit Tye's head on the wooden door frame. Police say that version of events did not match the child's injuries. The child was put on life support but did not survive.

May 5th- A scar student arrested after her roommates set up a camera and caught her spitting and putting window cleaner in their food. Hayley King is facing charges of unlawful, malicious tampering with human drug product or food. She could face 20 years on the Class C felony charge.

May 5th- Major gas leak in downtown cootlumbia as streets are evacuated and blocked. Unfortunately we weren't lucky enough to have a smoker nearby.

May 5th- Ain't nobody got time for that! Two more hoops players ask to for a release from the men's team.

May 11th- "You are the weakest link." The Houston Texans have had enough and release D.J. Swearinger. Here's a great article bashing him- http://blog.chron.com/ultimatetexans/2015/05/swearingers-release-puts-texans-2013-draft-class-in-the-red/#32862101=0

May 12th- Some JUCO scar commit Ulric Jones takes to Twitter with a bit of a guarantee to rough up Deshaun Watson. Right, cause talking helped them last year too? Look, none of us have ever heard of you and this will probably be the last time we ever do. Deshaun is a household name after last season. Pipe down tough guy.

May 13th- Darth Visor- "We're not pursuing Everett Golson." Well of course not steve, you've never had a black QB unless he was forced into immediate action. And don't act like you have a QB on campus that compares to him or could best him. But that's none of my business... I'm just here to witness the rest of this downfall.

May 15th- What's that smell? RICHLAND COUNTY, SC deputies arrested five people Wednesday after discovering over 300 marijuana plants, drugs, cash and weapons. Read more here: http://www.heraldonline.com/news/state/south-carolina/article21085812.html#storylink=cpy

May 18th- WR Kyle Davis decommits from scar. Rated by 24/7 as the number 5 WR, Davis is likely to find a team that actually has a QB.

May 19th- FIRE SOMEBODY! Cootlumbia on fire as baseball team loses in round one of conference tourney. No post season?

May 19th- "Doh!" Hoops prospect Tevin Mack to scar? Not hardly. Mack heads to UT to play for Shaka Smart.

May 23rd- Head for the hills! Three baseball players to leave scar baseball program after a disaster of a season. Two of the three, shortsthop Jordan Gore and catchers Logan Koch, combined to start 75 games last season.

May 24th- "You serious Clark?" scar baseball team doesn't make post season. LOL! Now officially a women's hoops school.

May 27th- USC class of 2019?- "2 SC teens sent to fish, stole firearms from nearby home. The boys’ parents dropped them at a pond to go fishing but they decided to break into a home and steal firearms instead, according to The Herald. http://myfox8.com/2015/05/27/2-sc-teens-sent-to-fish-stole-firearms-from-nearby-home/

June 25th- Oh for the love of GOD! Virginia defeats Vandy to win the NCAA baseball championship! STILL no vicarious title this year! Help us!

June 29th- "Welp, atleast we're still making headlines one way or another." John Abraham wanted for assaulting a business associate at The Pink Pony. It's called The Pink Pony, what could possibly go wrong at a fine establishment like that? Plus, Abraham is such a good role model anyway- He was arrested in 2003 on DWI charges on Long Island, N.Y.; in September 2012 on obstruction charges in Atlanta; and in June 2014 on DUI charges in DeKalb County, Ga. http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2015-06-29/john-abraham-wanted-battery-charge-nfl-atlanta-falcons-arizona-cardinals-new-york-jets?eadid=SOC%2FFB%2FSNMain

July 22nd- Coach Spurrier calls a press conference to rant about the media and his enemies. The coach told both players and fans not to listen to his "enemies" and even brought up Attila the Hun as a metaphor, for some strange reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elEjpgqa2EQ

August 10th- CB Wesley Green hits the road amid a "mutual decision to transfer." Green faced academic concerns upon his arrival to the South Carolina program last summer. After being flagged prior to enrollment, Green did eventually make the grade and was eligible to play last season

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RlmGkyIbKw&spfreload=10

August 28th- Womens soccer- Clemson 2 yardbirds 1.

September 4th- Mens soccer- Clemson 3 chokebirds 0

September 10th- A true Walmart fanbase- listed as the #12 on WallyWorlds list of most purchased team merchandise . Twelve SEC made the list. Clemson did not. http://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/12-sec-teams-appear-walmart-top-25-merchandise-rankings/

September 12th- Good Lord they lost to Kentucky at home in football. A list of teams UK has beat in the last two years only includes UT Martin, Ohio, Louisiana, Vandy, ULM, and south carolina...TWICE!!!!!

September 18th- Demetrius Summer arrested...AGAIN. Lexington County Sheriff's Department say Demetris Summers is charged with manufacturing and trafficking methamphetamine. He and his girlfriend Laticia Boykin are also charged with unlawful conduct toward a child. My question is how is he not already in prison?!

September 19th- A rivalry game? Are you kidding me? Georgia throttles the lamecocks 52-20. QB Grayson Lambert breaks the NCAA completion % record. "I can't believe he threw an incompletion," Richt quipped. "I'm disappointed in that. But we'll forgive him." "They totally dominated us," Spurrier said. "We didn't throw the ball very well, we didn't run the ball very well. We got clobbered."

October 3rd- Hey let's win the battle of Columbias! Not a chance. Mizzou 24 cootU10

October 10th- @ LSU L 45-24. Tigers had two 150 yard rushers.

October 10th- Freshman Shameik Blackshear Tweets that he should've committed elsewhere. Thats great but he should actually be in jail for larceny (see February 13th).

October 12th- Scar commit PJ Blue announced he will decommit after news of Spurrier's "retirement" surfaced. “After talking it over with my family I have decided to decommit from the University of South Carolina.”

October 13th- WR commit Bryan Edwards has mixed feelings about his future with the scarolina football program. "I have to do what’s best for me and my future as a student athlete. I will be contemplating my future in the next few weeks in light of recent events.”

October 13th- Mouthy coach Steve Spurrier quits the team in order to avoid a losing season and getting thumped by Clemson in November. School president Harris Pastides has asked the disgruntled coach to stay til the end of the year but the selfish old ball coach declined. Here is a picture from the press conference- http://www.tigernet.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=18021410 Spurrier, "Not sure the change is what they've needed but the change is what they've got."

October 13th- Another recruit blindsided by the myopic coach's decision to quit. OL commit Will Putnam, “Not the news I was expecting tonight.”

October 15th- Classy gamecock fan attempts to steal pens, markers, and gamecock decals from a Moncks Corner Wal-Mart. Police describe the suspect as a white male wearing a blue shirt, camo pants, a Gamecocks hat and tattoos on both arms. http://www.live5news.com/story/30271986/walmart-shoplifter-escapes-custody-after-threatening-to-cut-officer-with-box-cutter
