Things I dont like about South Carolina

[Louis_Skunt]

-Columbia is a dump. So many beautiful SC towns, yet they put the school in the worst one.

-USC logo looks like bird droppings and difficult to make out whats going on. The AD was high when he approved that.

-USC colors, garnett and black. How original.

-The premiere sport at USC is womens basketball. I actually dont mind it, its funny.

-Dawn Staley, the womens coach who was losing to UK and yelled "Thats Bull$%it" with 30 seconds left, at Matt Mitchell years ago for calling a timeout on senior day so his seniors could get an ovation.

-Sandstorm is the worst hype song. If you're going to go back 25 years and pick a song, why a cheesy one?

-Gamecock, is there a worse mascot in the SEC? Out of all the cool things South Carolina has, they pick an ugly rooster.

 

[WildcatofNati]

Their most successful program may be women's basketball. So, I guess that could mean most "premiere", but it most certainly isn't the most popular or most followed.

You're right, they still crammed a full house into Williams Brice to watch UGA beat the crap outta them. The interest is always going to be in football, but what they're known nationally for is womens bb at the moment.

 

[BBNFORLIFE]

They will always get Clemmons left overs in recruiting. Tough place to win unless you’re the visor.

Agree with everything but Sandstorm. Song is hype af. Which I'm also a big MMA fan, and Walderlei Silva walked out to it in Pride.

Its awful, i think you just favor it cause of MMA. To the non-biased neutral fan, its thee worst.

I’ve not thought about the University of South Carolina in a long time.

Columbia is not a dump. I’ve lived here the past 10 years and love it. I wouldn’t live in any other city in the state. Charleston is way too over crowded. Myrtle Beach has been taken over by Yankees and Greenville doesn’t even have palm trees.

I agree with everything else you said, though.

Columbia is a dump. The kids tailgate in a dirt ball parking lot. The buildings surrounding Williams Brice are from the 80's with no upgrades. Even the exit off 26, the neighborhoods are ghetto. I haven't seen a nice area yet. Maybe the zoo? Go google "best SEC towns" and you'll see USC ranked last or 2nd to last. If you think Columbia is nice, what college town didnt meet expectations?

And yeah, Myrtle is bad. Rednecks and drunk military everywhere. Charleston is awesome. Of course its crowded, its your premiere town.

You clearly haven't been there enough to know where the nice areas are. The Zoo? Is that where you went when you visited LOL? Have you been to the Vista warehouse district, the Shandon residential area near downtown, Mainstreet restaurants and shopping or the SC campus? If not, don't judge the city.

 

[Gromcat]

Honestly, USC would be the last program I’d want to root for in the SEC. Maybe not over Vandy, but all of the others yes. For sure.

They can’t win. 2 HOF coaches tried it thinking it was a Florida type of program in the waiting. Good beaches, great golf courses, SEC tag. Problem is it’s a terrible program for whatever reason.

Horrid colors.

Horrid mascot.

Horrid history.

When Steve Spurrier is average at best there, I don’t know why any other coach would try it. Now they’re reduced to hiring names without a resume, or names who were once big time but were fired. They’ll try anything but can’t accept they’re not going to produce.

Just eh, and with Clemson eventually coming to the SEC, it’s gonna kill’m.

That’s one true example where little brother might be little brother, but they’re 6’8 285 lbs and you’re 5’9 165.

Ive been about 6-7 times. Basketball and football games.
Without any question its the worst SEC town in the conference. I honestly dont see anything nice about Columbia, its a dump.

Hit the nail on the head with coaches. If Holtz and Spurrier cant make you a title contender, who can? Bottom feeders for life.

Wow, that is a compelling argument. You must be right then.

Im sorry, sounds like you take pride in where you live and i respect that. Didnt mean to offend, but if you go to some other towns, some away games, i think you'll see what i mean. You also may be the only person on earth who prefers columbia over charleston. Thats like saying you'd rather live in Tijuana over San Diego.

Nope, I live in Charleston and prefer it over Columbia. But Columbia is not a bad city if you live there awhile and know your way around. I've been to plenty of SEC cities for games including baseball and basketball over the last 25 years but its tough to size one up in a couple of days. Just my opinion. I'm not offended.

 

[ukalum1988]

I’ve only driven through Columbia once passing through on the interstate so I can’t pass judgment on the town. I will say that I’ve noticed Gamecock fans don’t come over here the week of the game and talk trash the way they used to 5-6 years ago, and I think we all know the reason why.

 

[NavyCat88]

As someone who has lived in Charleston and San Diego—“that’s funny right there…”

 

[Freetaxreturn]

I’ve worked a lot in Columbia, I really like the town. Sure it’s not a modern downtown look but I could care less about that. The only complaint I have is their bbq is vinegar base 🍺

 

[gossie21]

I didn't like losing to them back during the Holtz/Spurrier years. I much prefer the current trend of winning 7/8.

Also, their internet fans can be obnoxious, but not as much recently.

They think they are a national power when for the most part they would struggle to win the MAC.

 

[blugrazz]

Their overall sports program is probably middle of the pack in the SEC but interestingly enough, if they were on the outside of the SEC looking in I don't think they would be a top choice for conference expansion today.

What other factors considered into their SEC inclusion in the 1990's other than geographic proximity and they were available?

Yes, I live 2 hours from there. Columbia is an absolute dump and make 1 wrong turn and you're in its huge hood. As for the rest, its comical. I despise USCjr almost as much as Loserville and EweT.

Arrogance of Bama with the trophy case of Vandy.

Charleston sucks, but I’m obviously one of the few that feel that way.

I would encourage you to go downtown to Forest Acres or Spring Valley. Also, go to the Lake Murry area. In addition, Lexington is very nice and it’s a suburb of Columbia.

I never said Columbia is awesome, but I don’t think it sucks. I would rather live here than anywhere else in SC, though.

This just isn’t true, though. It’s a large metropolitan city, so you’re going to have hoods. It would be a dump, if you compared it to Lexington, KY. But it certainly holds its own against Greenville or any other city in SC.

As far as it’s fanbase, they’ve all got them. Most of the SC fans I’ve met are very good and have realistic expectations of their team. I’ll be coming up to Lexington for the game this weekend with several of them. I would be more than happy to introduce you to them so you can see what their fans are really like.

I don’t care about Louisville enough to feel any way towards them. They don’t matter.

I think Tennessee sucks because of the University, not necessarily because of the fans.

 

[AirRaid08]

Probably the worst AWAY game I have attended. All fanbases have them, but theirs was bad, at least where we were sitting that night.

People screaming obscenities and cursing for the crime of wearing blue.

A few vulger comments and such in the concorse. Just idiots, but they seemed to have much more than their share.

Back in the 80's I had a chance to take a sales rep job in either Columbia SC or Birmingham and I chose BHam just because it had the Panhandle as part of my territory too but alwasy wondered what it would have been like in Columbia.

BHam was nice though, lived in Hoover back when that area was just starting to boom.

 

[azubuikefan]

Agree with everything but Sandstorm. Song is hype af. Which I'm also a big MMA fan, and Walderlei Silva walked out to it in Pride.

I rotate my wrists like Wanderlei whenever I hear Sandstorm still.

 

[jr40831]

UK should pipe in a rooster crow on third downs.

 

[wildcatglenn]

I don't like Cocks

There fans think they have the history of Alabama when they have the history of northwestern

 

[Tf2217]

You made a list and it was short?
I don’t have enough time till next season to tell you the ways I hate South Carolina and idk why I guess it’s their cocky attitude. They’ve been our whipping post for years but they’re always trashing us? Hello win one first.

like I said it’s like us being excited that we are gonna destroy GA then god help Alabama when we get there to the championship. All you reasonable fans that thought about that statement and chuckled that statement that is exactly what the media and cock fans seem to believe about them and the worst thing is them getting drubbed won’t lower the expectations just like it hasn’t all but 1 year in the last 8.

litterally when we got a few recruiting classes in under stoops the only year they beat us we had a QB with a broken throwing hand and stoops hadn’t turned Bowden loose yet. No doubt in my mind it would be 8-0 if Lynn would’ve played QB that whole game.

 

[MbergCat]

I rotate my wrists like Wanderlei whenever I hear Sandstorm still.

Same!

 

[YaketySax]

For the record, Dawn Staley is awesome.

 

[YaketySax]

They had three straight 11 win seasons. Imagine this board with that type of success. Let's be humble.

 

[YaketySax]

Blufton is the best SC town. The proximity of Hilton Head w/o any of the prices (as of five years ago)
