My apologies to HoptownCat93 because he made a similar post yesterday – about South Carolina “Superiority.”
I am (selfishly?) posting, because of new material I heard (on TV) moments ago.
I posted about this subject July 21 and got lots of response.

Paul Finebaum says he wrote a column ("back in my writing days") in 1993 about South Carolina's worth to the SEC.
For you younger fellows/female persons, Bama had just won the national championship (unlike now-- it had been a long time), and the SEC expanded to add SC and Arkansas.
Finebaum traveled to Columbia for the Bama - SC game.
He says that planes with Finebaum-hate banners flew over the stadium. He says his life was threatened and it was the only time he ever wondered if he would get out of the stadium alive.
Well, Josh Kendall (of TheState, and TheAthletic.com) got under my skin again today.
On Paul Finebaum, Josh said that the wins they want (this year) are Florida and A&M.
He thinks that Bama, Georgia, and Clemson would be great!
So he figures SC expects to reach 6-8 wins.
"We have to beat Kentucky!"
Again, he said – with a raised voice – that “it is inexplicable and inexcusable(!)” that they have lost 5 in a row to Kentucky.
