Early look at South Carolina
- Thread starter UKErik
- Start date
Good post. SOS was semi retired and had not recruited to needs very well. Should be a good game Saturday. Probably a close game.
I sure as hell will! I'll take an SEC win anyway we can get it!
First of all, I didn't say "not anyone," I said "I doubt anyone." Congratulations, you found one guy that claims he is the best. You linked two articles, which is misleading since they are both about the comments of the same guy (Danielson). Bentley may have the most potential, but to this point he has been outplayed by Patterson and Fitzgerald. I'm not saying Bentley isn't a good QB, but his performance thus far this season hasn't met the preseason hype.
These fan bases are complete opposites.
When we play poorly and win we act like Eeyore.
When they win despite getting outgained in consecutive weeks against teams who played worse against Marshall and Missouri State, they come onto this board emoting like Ric Flair.
Missouri scored 72 on Mizzou State and we held their offense to only one touchdown.
NC State has an entire DL of future NFL draft picks. Regardless of how they played against Marshall they will have a ton of guys drafted in the 1st-3rd round on the DL alone.
Saturday can't get here soon enough. Your fan base has never changed, I know y'all have a right to crow after winning 3 straight against us, but it's not like y'alls tone was ANY different during our 10 game win streak. Even then y'all predicted to handily beat South Carolina every single year only to suffer 10 straight losses. This year ain't any other different than past years.
There is a big difference, Stoops has recruited SEC talent and we have depth but most importantly we are a veteran team. Our best players are now juniors and seniors. 2001 and sandstorm are a nice entrance to start game but will play no role in the outcome Sat night. Cats 27 Cocks 21
Some of these posts I read from UK fans reminds me of the old Seinfeld saying from George Costanza: Remember, "it's not a lie if you believe it." I'm not sure I've seen a recruiting ranking in the past 20 years, maybe one, where UK out recruited SC. Now mind you, the two schools have probably had some rankings close to each other, but I'm trying to figure out how they are more talented and have now passed us. Oh yeah, they went 7-6 last year and we went 6-7. My bad.
Couple of things here they do not have a ton of guys who will be 1-3 round guys and they played will enough to win. But even with that, they may not be top 5 DL Carolina faces this year, it will be close if they make it. Secondly, it wasn't like Carolina ran up and down the field against them, without multiple turnovers and a special team TD they win. To not have won the game with 4 turnover margin and a special team TD and hanging on should be a concern, not a rallying call.
Since you pointed out the recruiting difference....why did you guys lose 3 in a row to a team you out-recruited by a longshot the last 20 years. Can't be coaching, cause you said you have one of the best coaches in the country. Was it just bad luck?
Same reason we beat clemsux 5 years in a row, and they out recruited us. It happens. We beat UK 10 years in a row, won't mean squat tomorrow. I actually don't know who is going to win. I hope SC. You hope KY. That's what makes games fun. But we have delusional fans on both side. But let's be real, to say UK has surpassed SC is just not true. Name the last time UK finished #10, #8, #4 consecutively in the nation? It was only 3 years ago SC finished #4. So SOS had a bad couple of recruiting classes. UK didn't exactly blow it out of the water during our bad years. So bottom line, Saturday will tell us both allot.
After Saturday.........hope UK runs the table on UF/UGA/UT AND LOUISVILLE.
I will be really surprised if we win...couldn't win line of scrimmage on either side against EKU...and our pass defense is pretty bad. Just think USC has to much momentum going in to a home game. UK must run the ball well and keep the ball away from USC to have a chance to win
Where you at, Boss? Roosterbooster, MBSurfside, Breezecock, Angrydong? Where is everybody? All week I told you last year's wins against the worst D1 teams and FCS teams gave you false confidence. I pointed to how weak NC St and Missouri were. All four of you had all manner of nonsense in response. Got that ass beat again, though. Come over here and tell us how you have a thread on your site laughing at delusional UK fans...that three consecutive wins doesn't make us better than you. We are graduating players that never lost to SC. Maybe we can work out a deal with the SEC and make SC a guarantee game every other year. Instead of getting you hopes up for a win, we will pay you $750,000 to come to Lexington and take your loss. That is more than we pay EKU, which is unfair. They're a tougher out than the Cocks.
Purdue held them to only one field goal.
Apparently it helps me know more about the Gamecocks than you do as a fan of them.
