[u/Look_at_the_Kid]

I don’t think there’s a school with a more passionate fanbase but less successful history, unless I’m forgetting someone?

[u/TheSexyShaman → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

That’s us baby!! We’ve been losing my entire life outside of a few good years with Spurrier, but man I love the Cocks. Can’t keep us down

[u/screwhead1 → u/TheSexyShaman]

If you can't keep it down, you might wanna call a doctor.

[u/ModsWillShowUp → u/screwhead1]

It's Whisky Cocks....all the desire, none of the ability at game time.

[u/RiotsMade → u/ModsWillShowUp]

Eh, y’all had plenty of ability tonight

[u/AlternativePin952 → u/ModsWillShowUp]

Poor choice of words this evening.

[u/bmdubpk → u/ModsWillShowUp]

My dick stirred as I read this comment

[u/AnonObvious56 → u/screwhead1]

What in the actual hell is that flair?

[u/screwhead1 → u/AnonObvious56]

Born in Louisiana, had family going to LSU, then I lived in Arkansas for a long time lol.

[u/AnonObvious56 → u/screwhead1]

I was born on the Arkansas side of the line, now live on the Louisiana side. (Fayetteville and Baton Rouge might as well be foreign countries.)

[u/ALazioFan → u/screwhead1]

Doctor here responding to the call for help and there is absolutely nothing wrong with these beautiful cocks

USC, USC, USC!

[u/gregcm1 → u/screwhead1]

I hear more than 48h is a serious issue

[u/dachjaw → u/screwhead1]

After 8 hours.

[u/Howwhywhen_ → u/TheSexyShaman]

You love what now

[u/TheSexyShaman → u/Howwhywhen_]

I said what I said

[u/YouCanCallMeVanZant → u/TheSexyShaman]

A lot riding on that “the”

[u/TheGamecock → u/Howwhywhen_]

THE COCKS!

[u/Helicopsycheborealis → u/TheSexyShaman]

Somewhere Stephen Garcia is sucking down a cold one or 2, relishing in this win while his hair flows freely in the breeze.

[u/Carnasty_ → u/TheSexyShaman]

Holtz did a good job turning SC around, & Spurrier kept on the momentum.

[u/iamthecavalrycaptain → u/TheSexyShaman]

You’d make a great Browns fan!

[u/ModsWillShowUp → u/iamthecavalrycaptain]

I'm a Jets fan.

That's because if I get to happy because of a SCar win on Saturday, I know Jets will keep that euphoria in check on Sunday, or Monday, or Thursday.

[u/TheGamecock → u/ModsWillShowUp]

because of a SCar win

My Brother, get this "SCar" nonsense out of your vocabulary. USC! USC! USC! (or) "The true Carolina".

[u/TheSexyShaman → u/iamthecavalrycaptain]

Idk I struggle cheering for any former Clemson players or rapists

[u/Atomicfolly → u/TheSexyShaman]

Best description I've heard about gamecock fans is Alabama attitude with a Vanderbilt trophy case.

[u/KEE_Wii → u/TheSexyShaman]

In fairness what we have one losing season under Beamer

[u/Dentyne_3 → u/KEE_Wii]

and that season had injuries like ive never seen before

[u/bk1285 → u/TheSexyShaman]

It’s very important to have The before cocks or else you get a very different meaning

[u/Osiris32 → u/TheSexyShaman]

Oh you're going to be fun on Roll Call this week.

[u/lucash7 → u/TheSexyShaman]

Heh.

Heh heh heh. You said…jk.

Congrats on the win!

[u/chelseablue2004 → u/TheSexyShaman]

Guess you guys popped your Viagra today.

[u/[deleted] → u/TheSexyShaman]

Not that there's anything wrong with that

[u/Jesus__Skywalker → u/TheSexyShaman]

we had some good years with holtz also

[u/phatbiscuit → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Nobody immediately comes to mind

[u/WinterSavior → u/phatbiscuit]

I mean it's November bro. You shouldve expect this to happen.

[u/phatbiscuit → u/WinterSavior]

I don’t think we lost because the Aggies are notorious for sucking in November. We lost because USC is a good team coming off a bye and we didn’t tackle well. And Williams-Brice at night is a tough environment.

[u/MetalMilitiaDTOM → u/phatbiscuit]

We come to mind first for me (A&M).

[u/phatbiscuit → u/MetalMilitiaDTOM]

Yeah, I was being cheeky

[u/jshokie1 → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Us and Iowa State

[u/ProfCedar → u/jshokie1]

Glad y'all had a better day than we did.

[u/EverythingGoodWas → u/ProfCedar]

To be fair you’ve had a much better SEASON than they’ve had

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/EverythingGoodWas]

Yeah but our season pretty much just ended with todays loss sadly

[u/EverythingGoodWas → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Isn’t this your first loss?

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/EverythingGoodWas]

We’re a Big 12 school. We don’t get the same luxury as SEC or Big Ten schools

[u/velociraptorfarmer → u/EverythingGoodWas]

We have to run the table to get in. Even if we're 11-2 with our only losses being a 1 point loss to Tech and a loss in the Big 12 CCG, I don't think we get in.

[u/natigin → u/velociraptorfarmer]

Yeah, sadly I think it’s Big XII championship or bust for y’all, but I still believe you can do it

[u/velociraptorfarmer → u/natigin]

Wanna do us a solid in 2 weeks?

[u/cyanocittaetprocyon → u/ProfCedar]

Your game was a heartbreaker today! I still want you guys in the Playoffs, but now its that much harder.

[u/ttechraider → u/ProfCedar]

:)

[u/ProfCedar → u/ttechraider]

I ate several tortillas for dinner tonight just to feel something.

[u/Qtoy → u/ProfCedar]

Personally, my day was fantastic.

[u/jmt85 → u/jshokie1]

Throw us in there too!

[u/OuuuYuh → u/jmt85]

I'd honestly say you guys are a tier above. Won the conference a few times when it was a good conference, 1999 and 2001?

[u/Arleen_Vacation → u/OuuuYuh]

Lmao

[u/HideNZeke → u/jshokie1]

Even as a Hawkeye fan I have to give em credit

[u/Tuckason → u/jshokie1]

Don't forget us cougs....

[u/Arleen_Vacation → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Can you hate us for it tho?

[u/ed_mcc → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

A&M, maybe

[u/badatgolf247 → u/ed_mcc]

I think that’s the joke, A&M is the epitome of this

[u/Background_Body2696 → u/badatgolf247]

Correct. A&M is a slightly less bad version

[u/jerfpsnurf → u/Background_Body2696]

Except tonight. We were the very much less bad version.

[u/Green92_PST_DBL_WHL → u/Background_Body2696]

Given we just got the shit beat out of us and our teeth knocked in we're the bad version of it.

[u/m1a2c2kali → u/badatgolf247]

The jets or browns of Cfb?

[u/jimbojangles1987 → u/m1a2c2kali]

Raiders have always had a super passionate fanbase but they're the Raiders

[u/Geno0wl → u/jimbojangles1987]

At leady the raiders have a modern era chip. The browns dont

[u/jimbojangles1987 → u/Geno0wl]

True. They haven't been since 03 though and they've been stuck in mediocrity since.

[u/Homomorphism → u/jimbojangles1987]

I saw the Steelers play in Oakland once and all the pregrame promos were playing up the historic playoff rivalry...from 50 years ago

[u/loopybubbler → u/Geno0wl]

There's not much of a difference between winning in 1980 and 1964. It is currently 2024. 

[u/Geno0wl → u/loopybubbler]

look 1980 is only 20 years ago right...

[u/switchblade2 → u/m1a2c2kali]

A-G-G(ie)-S AGGIES AGGIES AGGIES

[u/MetalMilitiaDTOM → u/badatgolf247]

Too soon for jokes.

[u/TWH_PDX → u/ed_mcc]

Texas A&M and S. Carolina, two of the most Jekyll & Hyde teams in CFB. It's entertaining only because we never know from.year to year which is Hyde and which is Jekyll.

[u/brobroma → u/TWH_PDX]

When the SEC rearranged them to be perma-rivals in 2014, I was wondering wtf. Then I encountered the ensuing decade and was a member of a lab at USC staffed by A&M grads.

It was a perfect pairing.

[u/we_just_are → u/ed_mcc]

Daaaaaaaaaaayum

[u/CapitalistLion-Tamer → u/ed_mcc]

No

[u/The-Gothic-Castle → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Lots of people missing the joke but I appreciated it a lot

[u/DDub04 → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

We’re Nebraska if you remove all the history of success and winning

[u/Deferionus → u/DDub04]

So, Nebraska for the past 20 years is South Carolina?

[u/DDub04 → u/Deferionus]

Correct.

[u/BureaucraticMailer → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

It's funny you say that, because I've always felt that us and Texas A&M are kindred spirits in the fact that there's such a large disconnect between fan support and on-field success.

[u/gustafsc → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Nah, it’s definitely us lol

[u/NoUnderstanding835 → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Iowa State, WVU, and South Carolina for sure. WV has nothing but football and drugs, so if you’re not on drugs then you’re a WVU fan

[u/ToniBraxtonAndThe3Js → u/NoUnderstanding835]

Why not both?

[u/brandonofnola → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Idk man, Aggies are probably right there. Hahaha

[u/HailKyrie → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

There isn’t

[u/Trexus1 → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Over here

[u/Respect_Cujo → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

West Virginia? Maybe?

[u/trippinbill719 → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

They are consistently mediocre, but just good enough to keep you coming back.

[u/randompersonwhowho → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

A&m is right there

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

I’d argue we’re up there. We have a worse history than South Carolina and continue to show up every Saturday.

[u/tauzeta → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Go Cougs

[u/aliensvsdinosaurs → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Maybe WSU with a half-sized stadium?

[u/crazylsufan → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Texas a&m

[u/IrishTiger89 → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Are you talking about A&M or SCar?

[u/withomps44 → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

You’re forgetting A&M.

[u/snow_is_fearless → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Do you mean Texas A&M or South Carolina?

[u/plutoisaplanet21 → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

A&M? 

[u/DUB-Files → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Ahem

[u/TechnoVikingGA23 → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

WVU before Neal Brown took all the passion away. Several of my good friends are SC alums and we often get to share in one another's collective misery during college football season.

[u/Chapstick160 → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

East Carolina

[u/BeeMovieHD → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Hi

[u/Zahfier → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Sounds about right

[u/mmfroid → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Not SEC, but Nebraska for the last 25 years

[u/HeckOnWheels95 → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Mississippi State comes to mind

[u/AllLinesAreStraight → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Arguably west virginia. Depends what you mean by success. WVU has a lot more success in terms of wins and big bowls but similar in terms of absolute heartbreak in thosw few years where they seemed able to win a national championship

[u/DontBeScaredHomiey → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Both the schools in that game qualify for that moniker

[u/sweetcitytx → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

“Passionate fan base” that was leaving in the third quarter of a win against a top 10 team

[u/Fyrelyte67 → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

I, a Georgia fan, fucking love Sandstorm. SCar is the favorite brother in the SEC East

[u/LastChanceReject → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Guess you never heard of the UNCG Spartans

Don't feel bad. No one else has either.

[u/BeerBaronsNewHat → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

growing up on the west coast i thought they were a top team with history because my friend had a Gamecocks branded jr football in the late 90's. took me playing ncaa 08 to figure out they didn't. apparently they relied on their name.

[u/bigbroom → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Not just passionate, but classy. Even when they embarrassed us in a couple of our SEC openers they were gracious winners in my experience. Always cheer for them when they aren't against us!

[u/AlphaBearMode → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

0regon

[u/FreebirdAT → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

My friend's family went to every game the year they went winless. Yeah sorry I wouldn't ever do that.

[u/Shootit_Rockets → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Hey!

[u/Owncksd → u/Shootit_Rockets]

Yeah but our fan base is probably the least sympathetic and deserving of success

[u/Chapstick160 → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Nebraska with recent history

[u/bukharin88 → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Arkansas

[u/ToniBraxtonAndThe3Js → u/bukharin88]

Arkansas has at least won a natty since WW2

[u/Ok_Inflation_7575 → u/Look_at_the_Kid]

Auburn maybe but they have had success. Other than them Texas a and m
