We enjoyed our conversation with South Carolina Head Coach Shane Beamer Thursday. You can LISTEN HERE , WATCH HERE . Here’s my takeaway today. Fans are being conditioned to hate everything that isn’t a championship season. I jumped on The SC Instagram feed and saw fans asking for “more damn consistency” or commenting “Same ‘ol Carolina”. If you have been with us for 12 years, you know we are not easily impressed. That said, has a Coach in CFB squeezed every drop out of his team more than Shane Beamer? Lance told him that he should write a book on The Gamecocks QB Room alone. Injuries forced a Grad assistant to come out of retirement, who then gets injured, forcing a Division III transfer to start at QB and upset Florida. I understand some fans are going to bitch about everything, but if you cheer for The Gamecocks and can’t appreciate the job Shane Beamer has done this year, then you are standing too close to the forest.
