Fight like a man, Gamecock!
What is there for a Rebel to hate about South Carolina? Ole Miss has an all-time edge in the series, Steve Spurrier is impossible to disrespect, and Rebel fans always seem to get along with Gamecocks fans. So, aside from being associated in some way with Lou Holth and having painfully kept our Rebels from a 10-win season last year, I am struggling to really get amped up about this.
Help, Cup fans.

Two things:
They beg to be called USC. Why would you want to be called USC?
Also, South Carolina is where good coaches go to die. They are the Raiders of college coaching failures.
Yeah, their last two coaches have been coaching giants with national championships under their belts,
but they can barely eek out at winning season at South Carolina. What the fuck is wrong with you, Carolina? This is not what people mean when they praise “giant killers.” When Goliath is your coach, it’s time to put down the sling.

They want to be called USC...
Because, just like the University of North Carolina is UNC, state-funded public schools should have first dibs on U[Insert State Initials Here] not private schools.
You’re right about the coaches though. I predict Houston Nutt will coach for the Gamecocks in about ten years (after the Rebels have one a couple of National Championships).

A couple of national championships?

Get excited.
During Houston Nutt’s seventh season with Ole Miss, four Rebels will be awarded the Heisman simultaneously (one of whom will not even be on the football team, but instead a third string bench warmer for the women’s volleyball squad).

A Reason to Hate
It’s time we prove ourselves to the rest of the country. To do so, we must unload an ungodly amount of hate on these poor SOBs. That’s reason enough to get pumped up: not because of who they are, but because of what we stand to gain from destroying them.
I find it really easy to hate South Carolina
Growing up right outside of Clemson and now being a student there it’s in my blood. Although I am a bigger Ole Miss fan than the Tigers. It’s so easy to do.
I will be there Thursday with my Gamecock friends laughing all night.

I'm glad to hear you're a Rebel
but something you should know: Karma hates Ole Miss. Be careful what you say, because stuff like “laughing all night” will come back to haunt you. At least, that’s always been my experience as an Ole Miss fan. Hotty Toddy!
Agreed...in a BIG way...
…Karma slapped me silly when the Booth Ref shanked us like a prison yard inmate against the tuscaloser idol worshipers a couple of years ago.

As someone else mentioned
-“Hey! Our nickname is the Gamecocks! We can shorten that to just Cocks and make sexual innuendo jokes about it!” That was borderline funny about 35 years ago. Now it’s just stupid, childish, and makes you look like one of those people with the sticker on their truck window of the kid pissing on something.
-One of their douche students narced on Michael Phelps, the most successful person to ever have Down’s Syndrome.
- They call themselves “Carolina”, even though to the rest of the world Carolina is UNC. Between that and USC, they’re o-fer on original names.
- Their “tailgating” is the fucking fairgrounds. Awesome.
- Like Arkansas, they have no real rival in the SEC. If no one else hates you in this league, you’re bringing nothing to the table.
- That stupid bitch that was all “Childrin reeding the Irak South Afrika blah blah” is from a suburb of Columbia.
Pig Pen this here's Rubber Duck, and I'm about to put the hammer down.
"We can shorten that to just Cocks..."
Yeah, that’s my big problem with them. They give every fourteen year old in the country douchebag paraphenalia. I hate the word douchebag. It’s overused and fucking annoying. But by god, when I see some front-of-his-pants-tucked-in-but-not-the-back, COCKS-hat-wearing motherfucker, all I can think is what a fucking douchebag.

HATE! HATE! HATE!
Here are a few of my reasons for hating the Gamecocks, although Halpert touched on a couple already.
1. They change their uniforms every other year and always manage to look bush league.
2. They used to be in the Metro Conference or some shit.
3. Their fans love to flaunt how loyal they are, selling out games during the depths of losing seasons. While that is noble and all, I wonder if the Cocks stay mediocre because 80,000 fans never let ’em know that there is anything wrong with mediocrity by staying the hell at home.
4. They went to their first bowl game in the 1980’s and their Heisman winner only won because the voters shafted the freshman, Herschel Walker.
5. Finally, as someone who whose alma mater loyalties to Ole Miss usurped Clemson as my favorite team about 12 years ago, SOUTH CAROLINA DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE IN THE SEC!

One more reason.
They have a tepid – very tepid – fan blog in the Garnet and Black Attack. I was over there looking around, thinking of stirring up some shit, but it was just too lame. Nothing up – at all – about the Thursday night game.
I didn't come here to be nice.
Garnet and Black Attack ain't bad.
They don’t do stuff in the same fashion we do here at the Cup but they’re good at what they do. I don’t think they’re too homeristic and I think they’re pretty smart guys so I have no qualms.

I knew you were going to say that.
And, you’re actually right, from what I’ve seen. It’s not Cocknfire or Gamecock Man that is the problem – it’s the SC fans who suck and do not use all of the tools at their disposal. Plus, though those guys are pretty good, there are only 2 of them.
I didn't come here to be nice.
I hate South Carolina...
because that’s who we play this week. They want to beat us, so I hate them. Reason enough.

Things that grind my gears
Seeing as I live in the Palmetto state (an okay place if it had some decent football), and seeing as I listen to sports radio not infrequently, I have been subjected to more than one jackass calling in and talking shit about us. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t take this game for granted. But we Ole Miss fans have the good grace to be worried about this game. All I hear from every fucking South Carolina fan up here is how we are overrated, haven’t performed as well as we should have in our first two games, and how awesome their offense is now. I have news for you South Carolina, we aren’t afraid of you, we are afraid of us. We know how much we can shoot ourselves in the foot. Like fumbling on the one yard line when we have a chance to win. And another thing, your offense isn’t real. Its just not. It struggled against NC State and Florida Atlantic. Okay, great, you scored points against Georgia (which at this point seems like something even State could do). We aren’t Georgia. We are ranked 4th in the nation, and we are the only ones who have the right to question how much we deserve that ranking (okay, well maybe a few other people, you know like the media, do too, but certainly not you fuckasses). Shit they have pissed me off.
A dissenting opinion...
I am not sure that any of these rambling recitations of rank immodesty even warrants a response from me. But, so it begins:
1) USC is a public school; Southern Cal is private. Only public schools get to use initials and private colleges may use abbreviated names, thus USC represents South Carolina and Southern Cal represents. We don’t give a shit about Southern Cal and their commonly used monikers because nobody on this planet is a die-hard Southern Cal fan (unless you are Will Ferrell and need the exposure). Do they even have a student body that attends games? No, they are filming it. And, why do you use Ole Miss to represent your school instead of UM? Because there is a University of Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, Montana, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, Memphis, etc.
2) North Carolina broke away from the Province of Carolina in the 1700s, then a decade later the King sold part of Carolina as Georgia. As the sole survivors of the Carolina colony, South Carolina maintains exclusive right to use the word "Carolina" in reference to their state.
3) To complete this history lesson, the University of South Carolina uses the nickname "Gamecocks" in tribute to the American Revolution war hero Thomas Sumter (you may remember a recent movie called "the Patriot," starring Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger, that portrayed the legacy of Sumter’). The defining moment and person of US History, and someone worthy of honor and remembrance. On the other hand, the University of Mississippi at Oxford, ever trapped in a fantasy land of yesteryear, chooses to honor Colonel Reb in remembrance of a lost war and a disgraceful moment in US history. Awesome.
4) Just kidding. More history is in order for you schmucks. USC and Ole Piss were originally members of the great Southern Conference. Then, sometime in the 50s or 60s the conference broke up and all schools west of the Appalachians formed the SEC, and all the schools to the east formed the ACC (USC included). Then, during the 70s Frank McGuire called out the Tar Heels and Wolfpack for recruiting violations and illegally using politics to further their corrupt basketball programs. But no one else stood behind ole Frank, so USC pulled out of the ACC (probably not the wisest move ever, but at least we were not in league with a bunch of cheaters), for the Metro Conference in all sports expect football (like Notre Dame and the Big East). Alas, in 1992 we joined the ranks of the SEC.
5) USC went to its first bowl game in the 40s or 50s. Look up your facts, retar
6) Seriously, the top five thing you dislike about the State of South Carolina is some 17 year old high school beauty queen’s response to a question from AC Slater? I will give you Mark Sanford or Joe Wilson, but the beauty queen who never even attended the University? C’mon. I think losing to a non-ranked team at home in last year’s matchup is enough reason to get fired up for this week’s game.
7) You got us on tailgating, we won’t even deny that one. But, have you ever tried Bojangles’ Cajun chicken biscuit?
8) Showing up ever week despite your team’s losses or successes is called loyalty. Showing up only because of recent successes and 500 sportswriters gave you a high preseason ranking doesn’t make you better fans, it just makes you seem like a fair-weather, wanna-be, poser.
9) True- Clemson is our rival, but they have a national championship in the last 30 years. How many do the Miss and Miss St have combined? Zero- that’s why its called the Egg Bowl.
10) USC fans like going to football games too, but at least we don’t have to look like a J Crew model in order to do it.
Hotty Toddy, your football team is shoddy. You smell like crawfish and you can’t beat nobody!

What do you mean by this?
“How many do the Miss and Miss St have combined? Zero- that’s why its called the Egg Bowl.”
In the last 30 years, sure, zero. But Ole Miss has won national championships in football.
And we don’t “choose to honor Colonel Reb.” A few dozen assholes do. He hasn’t been an official mascot of the university for the better part of a decade. Most Ole Miss fans stopped giving a shit about Colonel Reb a while back.
Also, you called the Civil War “a disgraceful moment in US history.” Now, watch a spinmaster at work:
Hold the phone! You think a war which resulted in the emancipation of millions of African slaves is a “disgraceful moment!”
Sir,
You see how easy that is? Please, either shoot yourself in the fucking face or cut out the whole “LMAO Ole Pi$$ is racist” bullshit. It’s trite, unoriginal, and hardly the truth.

Yeah, we're still better....
Others have already knocked down a few of your arguments. Let me try.
3a) “The defining moment and person of US History, and someone worthy of honor and remembrance.” Really? I’m not arguing the “worthy of honor and remembrance” part, but seriously? Not Franklin, Jefferson, Lincoln, or countless others? Sumter was the defining person in US History?
3b) “On the other hand, the University of Mississippi at Oxford, ever trapped in a fantasy land of yesteryear, chooses to honor Colonel Reb in remembrance of a lost war and a disgraceful moment in US history. Awesome.” Yeah, we got rid of our offensive mascot. Time to stop putting the word cock on children’s clothing.
9) Clemson may have a championship in the last thirty years, but our rival, LSU (see, real SEC teams have more than one rival in the same conference) , has two this decade.
10) “USC fans like going to football games too, but at least we don’t have to look like a J Crew model in order to do it.” No, you just attend with all your hetero-lifemates, “COCKS” emblazoned on all your clothing.
Since you bring up history
The movie The Patriot is predominately based on the actions of Francis Marion, colloquially referred to as the Swamp Fox. Interestingly enough, Marion County, Mississippi is named for this individual.
By the way, before this post I was generally indifferent towards South Carolina fans and was having trouble mustering up the necessary hate to carry me through the week. I now have no problem. Thank you.

You don't get to call us out on facts
when you think the SEC was organized in the “50’s or 60’s.”
Also, is the starting place of the Civil War really going to call out Mississippi on antebellum sugar-coating?
Also, if we want to talk Revolutionary War, you redcoat bastards let English in the back door. One of Washington’s greatest concerns was the British dominance in the south, particularly South Carolina. Consequently, he had to send Nathaniel Greene a quaker from from Rhode Island down to your independence-hating colony to kick a little royalist ass and put you people in line.
You’re not Rebels, and you never have been. You know why? Because you’re chicken. Boom, mother’effer. Feel the pain.

AC Slater
did not ask the question. He was the one holding the microphone and trying not to laugh at the poor wretch. Maybe you could round her up and give her one of your ten point interpretive history lessons and make her a real US-C American.
And the only rank immodesty here is your ass, which you have so uncomfortably thrust upon us. Also, just so you know, and you could’ve asked Gonzo, we appreciate spelling and punctuation here. So if you are going to come around calling someone a “retar,” either give us a definition of what that means, or spell your shit right.

A few things...
-“Only public schools get to use initials and private colleges may use abbreviated names”. Uhhh, who says? Because USC and their multiple national championships are making a pretty good case for it.
-"you may remember a recent movie called “the Patriot,”. Absolutely. I saw it just the other day after the newest episode of Step By Step.
-“(probably not the wisest move ever, but at least we were not in league with a bunch of cheaters)”. You do realize you are currently in the SEC, correct?
- “True- Clemson is our rival, but they have a national championship in the last 30 years. How many do the Miss and Miss St have combined? Zero- that’s why its called the Egg Bowl.” Uh…what? The whole point is that you have no SEC rivals, and your shit is thusly weak.
- “USC fans like going to football games too, but at least we don’t have to look like a J Crew model in order to do it.” You got that wrong. J Crew models look like us. Also, it gets boring spending all of your money on blow, politicians, and fishing trips. You’ve gotta spend it on something.
Pig Pen this here's Rubber Duck, and I'm about to put the hammer down.
Jim Jim Jim...
clearly you’ve never heard of Thomas Ravenel…the bluest of blue blood SC politicians. We can spend it on all three.
Also, people here should stop all this talk about Clemson deserving to join the SEC. The SEC doesn’t need two Auburns.

I actually agree with not letting Clemson join.
If we were to make a move, I say drop Arkansas and add UVA.
That would be geographically bizarre.
Charlottesville is a damn fine place and I truly respect the university, but to have a school in Virginia while completely overlooking the Tarheel state is a bit odd, don’t you think? Also, being an hour-and-a-half away from Washington, DC doesn’t qualify an area as “Southeastern.” Drop Arkansas and add Florida State or Georgia Tech.

My late take on conference expansion
or substitution -
1. No reason to drop Arkansas, which is competitive (too much so at times) and makes geographic sense; it is also fertile recruiting ground for OM & has been a rival of OM preceding its affiliation with the SEC.
2. I do favor dropping Gonzo.
3. My 1st choice for droppage would be SC – if such a choice had to be made.
4. I’m not discussing adding ANY school in another BCS conference until that school applies for membership or otherwise makes its desire to join plain – why let those turds think we NEED them & give them the opportunity to reject us?
5. Any addition would have to expand TV markets & make geographic sense. And admission of that school should not be an affront to any current member in the same state or w/in a 3 or 4 hour drive.
6. Sorry I missed out on all the hate earlier.

Hey Blue State...
If you check your facts UNC was founded in 1789, whereas U S. Car was founded in 1801. UNC has dibs on the “Carolina” moniker.
Also, the ten schools west and south of the Appalachians broke away from the Southern Confrence in 1932.
As for McGuire… he ain’t nothing but a snitch. Just sayin’
Adding ACC teams sounds good in theory
but that conference supports way too many different sports for it to work out in the SEC.
Au contraire...
my example of Miami supports only that which we do: football as priority and baseball too sometimes. Outside of that, they don’t care, and if you tell me they are a basketball school, I will have one of dem fools shoot u in da face!
Alright, alright
Maybe Clemson, FSU, Va Tech, and Miami would be potential candidates if you look at the big picture. But everybody’s dream schools UVA and UNC, as they are essentially Ole Miss type schools (socially) but with much much much higher academic standards, would never make that jump. I’d throw Ga. Tech out there but they done had their chance as someone else noted.

Hey, COCK, maybe if you participated in your school’s SBNation blog, we would believe how fierce a fan of COCK you say you are. It is clear from this lack of affiliation that you are not half the COCK you say you are. Or perhaps you have created this new identity to protect yourself while spewing on our blog—in which case, you are just a scaredy-COCK.
