Just Asking: I am not a Shane 'Beamer Ball' supporter, in any shape or form, whatsoever.

The OU win will REALLY mean something if we win the next game.

To differentiate himself from his long line of predecessors, Beamer has to build off big wins. We have always picked up scattered big wins here and there. What we have not traditionally done is build off those moments. Spurrier did, albeit briefly.

You were saying?

You still think anyone would put us on their schedule right now??.... I bet Georgia is glad we don't get them this year

It's one game. I recall beating #1 Bama and then losing to UK the very next week. We play a very good, upstart Vandy next week. Let's see what transpires before declaring ourselves fearsome.

My big question is, can he create a positive, upbeat culture (which he has done without question) without acting like a fanboy (jumping into the arms of players)... and thereby make this school look more like we expect to win. He will always need big-time Xs and Os coordinators.

I wonder if in the NIL/portal era this is whats more attractive than the Saban style? Lots of things us slightly older folks (over 40) dont understand that help win these days

So, you don’t support your head coach? Do you support the players? Maybe certain players?

Sheesh.

I recall all sorts of stuff over the years... It has always been that way. But get your head out of your butt... We have a decent team. Better than the record indicates, and you know that as well as I do.

3. Shane Beamer & South Carolina are the perfect marriage​

Do you know how close the Gamecocks are to being 7-1 and ranked in the top 10?

LSU scored the go-ahead TD in the final minute to squeak out a 3-point win.

Alabama trailed in the 4th quarter before rallying for a 2-point win.

Saturday, LaNorris Sellers looked like the best dual-threat quarterback in the conference, toying with a Texas A&M defense still basking in the praise of hammering LSU a week prior.

Let’s face it: Shane Beamer isn’t goofy, per se, but he’s just quirky enough that most football purists don’t really take him seriously.

But he knocked off another top-10 team Saturday — his 3rd such win over the past 3 years.

That might not sound like much, but I bet James Franklin is impressed.

That Saturday Down South writer is a clown, but at least he didn't dump on our win.

Say what? I was commenting about the statement that ppl fear playing us.

See if you can find that statement anywhere in prior posts... I'll save you time... It's not there...

Let's be honest. You guys are saying the same thing, just different wording. People "fear us" or "no one wants to play us".

All SDS writers are clowns, but an occasional profound statement slips out on that site.

We have the 3rd most seniors in the nation that just beat an Oklahoma Sooner team that's a skeleton of past Oklahoma teams. I said early last week they are not your Daddy's Oklahoma Sooners and, thus, expected to beat them. Not only would I wait until the end of this season before ordering my crow, I'd wait until next season after we have lost much of this year's team, including, probably, the best coach on staff, Clayton White. But, I know little and claim less.

try just enjoying the moment, we are probably gonna exceed expectations of even the most optimistic fans and could very well win 8 or 9 after beating tam. of course we could just win 6, but even that is better than predicted.

Have you ever heard of the term "cautiously optimistic"? That's what I am. One can be that and "enjoy the moment" at the same time, which I do. Think through your thought process instead of jumping to a conclusion. Being "cautiously" aggressive has served me well in my investments, making me more money than I ever dreamed of. Without going into specifics, I will just say I'm fine, really fine.
