Gamecock fans, it could be worse. We could be Ole Miss.

Can you imagine going 11-1, stomping through the SEC and setting all kinds of program records, only to have your HC and OC poached before the playoffs, essentially killing all of your team’s momentum? Oh, also you don’t even get to go to the conference championship. Enjoy being a 10-12 seed and getting shafted in the first round by a team with an actual coaching staff.

Lots of doom & gloom here about how we are a second rate program, and I share your sentiments. But the situation in Oxford should go to show that it doesn’t matter WHO you are unless you’re a perennial blue blood contender. This sport is fundamentally broken and we’re all playing for stupid prizes. Yay.

I’m dead serious when I say this: I’d rather go 4-8 and never be seriously in the hunt than go 11-1 and have it all taken away from us at the moment of our greatest hopes. Feel free to disagree
