I recenlty read – HERE – from ESPN’s Chris Low his “Preview of the next decade” in the SEC. Listed among thoughts on Alabama winning more national championships and Phil Fulmer returning to UT as the AD, he wrote this about the Gamecocks….
8. The Gamecocks break out: If any group of fans deserve a breakout season, it’s the long-suffering South Carolina fans. They’ve put up with mediocrity for 100-plus years. And, yet, they’re always there in force supporting their Gamecocks. Somewhere in this next decade, there’s a nine- or 10-win season hovering. Perhaps it’s next season. The Eastern Division race will be as wide open as ever. Wouldn’t that be something? The Head Ball Coach giving South Carolina its first ever East title and then jettisoning to the golf course full time.
I would love to see this happen sooner than later this upcoming decade. I hope that 2010 is the year of the rooster or in this case the gamecock. Yes the East is ripe for the taking but can USC muster up enough “team spirit” to capitalize?
