Theres a world where this team wins 9 games

Coastal Gamecock · Saturday at 8:24 PM

Havent posted all day but awesome win, we didnt look like the same team. We arent beating Georgia. Everyone else on our schedule has looked bad a lot or at least at times, and we make late season runs apparently.

So, we do it again, beat UT, Ark, OU, A&M, Clemson, lose to UGA. Make a bowl, win it, finish 9-4 and wonder what could have been

I ran a simulation for the rest of the season on Madden. We will be anywhere from 8-4 to 4-8 for the regular season.

Bank on it.

I agree, there is a world... and I think I've found it -

"Come with me, and we'll be,
In a world of pure imagination..."

I'll pass.

Too concerned about the 3-9 or 9-3 scenarios costing me money.

There y'all go again! Dreaming the impossible dream!!

Gamecock fans are nothing if not mercurial. It was a great win. We looked like a different team and Sellers looked like he did in 2024.

But it was one game against a team who probably isn't as good as their hype from the first 3 weeks (though any win in The Swamp is big for us).

I need to see some repeat performances before I move off 4-5 wins.

I don't know if this a good or bad time for a bye. We just got some mojo, but now we have to sit on it for 2 weeks. I'd rather play while we're hot.

On the other hand, hopefully can use the bye to practice whatever worked in today's game.

As bad as we have been at times, UF was ranked dead last in conference in Pass D.

We were 5/7 on 3rd and 9+. The 2 we didn’t convert. One was on our next to last possession. The other we kicked a FG the next play. We came up HUGE on the road and made plays! Though, Not exactly the scenarios you want to depend on to be successful.

Excellent points.
Stepping away from the euphoria from yesterday, let's take a step back for a moment.
This team that we have seen from the last 2 years, can be wildly inconsistent from week to week.
Just looking at the games from CFB yesterday there were some really surprising results, proving there are no guarantees on any Saturday.

I see a ceiling of 7-5 with a floor of 3-9. Yesterday, across college football, it showed just how level the playing field can be on any day.

UT should beat us. OU and ARK suddenly look better and those are away games, who knows? UGA, we have no chance. ATM is terrible and we have them at home, we should win. The Taters are garbage, we should win. So, we probably end up with 7 wins and a crappy bowl game where our good players will opt out and we lose that game.

Cockofdawn · Sunday at 7:33 AM

I said they would be lucky to win four, great win in the swamp, but still say lucky to win four. I sure hope that fourth one will be the tasters!!

Arkansas is garbage and aTm looks to be in freefall, those should both be wins to get us to 5. I think OU and Clemson determine whether we get to 6 wins. OU looked much improved against Texas. They might get a confidence boost. Clemson looks to be stumbling and bumbling their way to an 8 or 9 win season. I think they will give us all we want.

We will know a lot more about Clemson after their game this Saturday - huge matchup with Charleston Southern!

Y'all are the very definition of fanatic. One upset victory and we're off to the races again. We played well but not great. Still lots of dropped passes and DB mental breakdowns. UF is overrated but they slowed our rushing game. UT's passing offense will give us fits. OU will turn on which OU team and which SC team shows up. aTm is perplexing but they have talent. Arky will be fired up against us, and Clemp is Clemp. UGA will be a big fat L.

There is a world, but not the real world.

i still don't see 9 wins, but it would be fitting for Gamecock football if we finished the regular season with 9 wins, falling short of a CFP berth b/c we blew 17-0 and 16-0 leads.

They just need to forget about every game they have played so far and determine to beat the pants off UTjr.
