GAMECOCKS MAILING IT IN

Spurrier, in his refreshingly blunt and honest manner, has essentially admitted that his players have been lazy and lacking in effort, a problem he did not even face at perennial ACC doormat Duke when he took over. According to the Head Ball Coach:

Playing full-speed around here is not natural to a lot of our players yet. Weve got to make it natural.... Obviously, weve got to play a much, much better effort level and intensity and passion and we need to really act like we care about whats happening out there. At times, it seems like weve got a lot of guys who are going through the motions.

Looks like he's got some coachin' up to do in Columbia.

This should be no surprise for people that have been watching Carolina football the past few years. Going to Williams-Brice these days is fun — right up until kickoff.

I wonder if he would be interested in taking over for Mack when he blows another one against OU?

By the way I love the site.

Maybe if we continue to have a bad season, we can pick up the #1 draft pick…wait…nope…that’s the NFL.
This is the lifelong nightmare that is South Carolina football. The players end up with one of the best college coaches ever, and they won’t even try for him.
