I catch a lot of flack for my criticism of @RayTannerSC & @GamecockFB. My philosophy is simple: “We must destroy the village in order to save it.” It’s a pipe dream & I had hope that @Bob_Caslen would do it.

But all of these hangers on in USC Athletics are happy to be there.
There is zero want to change. Zero urgency to win. @CoachWMuschamp kicking FGs down 3 scores is so on brand for everything Gamecocks. Just everyone involved is fat, happy and cashing exorbitant checks.
We have consultants in the Athletics Department who were around during the Rex Enright era (Google who that is, millennials). We have a “football coach” getting paid who fought under MacArthur in the South Pacific (Sorry, Clyde).
And yet, we have a Board and an Administration who just 🤷🏼‍♂️ and don’t give a bakers damn. Board members get their air conditioned seats, free booze and specialty license plates while Administrators like Ray do their jobs poorly.
You look up the road at Clemson, over to Athens, UNC, and hell, even Coastal Carolina, and they’re all committed to winning. Which in turn, boosts enrollment, coffers and pride. But in Columbia, we continue to give a course in mediocrity.
Call me a bad fan, I’ve watched this shit for 34 years. But this is my last one paying for it. Just a few weeks ago, I ended my family’s Gamecock Club membership after “57 Consecutive Years” as our card said. I had started paying the freight in 2008, but no more.
I’ll tune in, I’ll laugh at the clown car that is Gamecock Athletics, but I won’t give another dime until my past commitment and the commitment of Gamecock fans is matched by the @UofSC Board, @Bob_Caslen and @RayTannerSC.
