January 18, 200719 yr That's not taking anything away from UK, it's the truth. S. Carolina is an awful team, period, end of story. While the margin of victory was pretty impressive, a 15+ win was expected by most.... They were 10-2 going into SEC play. Even though their OOC schedule was likely pathetic, they still won some games. Their loss to UK was the worst loss they have ever had I believe.
January 18, 200719 yr They were 10-2 going into SEC play. Even though their OOC schedule was likely pathetic, they still won some games.

January 18, 200719 yr at home, not ever....Being 10-2 OOC doesn't mean anything if your key win was over a team like South Alabama. Like Clemson? :sssh:
January 18, 200719 yr That's not taking anything away from UK, it's the truth. S. Carolina is an awful team, period, end of story. While the margin of victory was pretty impressive, a 15+ win was expected by most.... Actually, not everyone did. In fact, this is what you said prior to the game in the predictions thread: "Should be a decent game, but I look for the Cats to take it..... UK-72 SC-64 Therefore, you predicted just an eight point win. That isn't near the 15+ victory "everybody" supposedly predicted and even further from the 38 point victory that it actually was. It seems as though you really thought the Gamecocks weren't too bad of a team. I also think it is safe to say that Louisville doesn't have a good win like SC does. If you would do your research you would notice that earlier in the season, these Gamecocks beat a very good Southern Cal team; a team that has proven to be a dragon slayer as of recently with wins over ranked teams like then #8 Wichita State, #13 Washington, #17 Oregon, and a last second loss to #3 UCLA a few nights ago. Louisville's best win came against who? Providence? And the lowly Gamecocks scored just 2 points fewer against the Cats than Louisville. I would venture to say that South Carolina would probably be the favorite against Louisville in that hypothetical matchup.
January 18, 200719 yr Bet USC could beat the Cards.Please come up with something better than that... UL has no relevance to this conversation. As much it may sting or bring back a dose of reality, TheDeuce made a truthful comment that cannot be ignored. Go Big Blue! BTW, I would take UL (-10) vs. S. Carolina.
January 18, 200719 yr As much it may sting or bring back a dose of reality, TheDeuce made a truthful comment that cannot be ignored. I don't think the 38 point win 'stings' anyone other than the UK haters, and the USC players of course.
January 18, 200719 yr I don't think the 38 point win 'stings' anyone other than the UK haters, and the USC players of course. I agree. But if the only rebuttal to a noteworthy post is along the lines of, "This team could beat your team" is weak in my book.
January 18, 200719 yr They need to spilt with both UT and UF and beat LSU at home. Take care of business in the rest, and we'll talk about a 3 seed. I can see that happening and maybe sweeping UT!:thumb:

January 19, 200719 yr Lunardi has this much right: no UConn to be found. agreed one of the most over rated teams in the nation.
January 19, 200719 yr UCONN was ranked #18 before this season started. They are now unranked. Their record is 13-4 (2-3 in the Big East). After winning their first 11 games they have lost 4 of their last 6. (W VA, LSU, Marquette & Pitt. - Pitt & LSU are ranked.) They have 1 senior, 1 junior, 5 soph & 8 frosh. on their roster.

But if the only rebuttal to a noteworthy post is along the lines of, "This team could beat your team" is weak in my book. Sorry my quote wasn't good enough for you and was "weak, in your book". Didn't realize someone crowned you to decide whether other people's post's are good enough or not. So what's that the pay for a gig like that?

So what's that the pay for a gig like that? I apologize for offending you in anyway, never intended to. I just do not see the relevance of saying (to paraphrase) "S. Carolina could beat UL" when UL has nothing to do with the topic at hand and it was brought up only because a UL fan made an observation that some did not like. :thumb: Tough crowd this morning :lol:
