It's on air right now, so that the rest of the SEC can understand the shitty officiating both programs escaped from.

It just means MOAR! Moar gumps, moar cowbell, moar tailgates, more ever'thang. S  E  C!!!

Evidence popping up that we may be headed towards a 9 game season in 2026. Vandy cancelled their series with Colorado State. Other series have been cancelled for the future, most seem like ones that had home and home portions.

 

And what a surprise, all three of those teams have an FCS school on their schedule. Cancel them and add the 9th conference games, you pussies.

Key off-field staff member leaving USC football program, report says

Story by Jordan Kaye

Perhaps the most important figure of South Carolina football’s recruiting operation is no longer with the program.

Taylor Edwards, the Gamecocks’ director of player personnel, is leaving coach Shane Beamer’s program, according to a report from The Big Spur on Tuesday afternoon.He’d been with the team for three seasons.

Beamer hired Edwards less than three months after he took the job in Columbia and, since then, he has not only been instrumental in helping South Carolina to Top-25 recruiting classes in each of the past three seasons but acting as the liaison between the football program and South Carolina’s NIL collectives.

Before arriving in Columbia, Edwards was Maryland’s Director of Recruiting Operations for two years under coach Mike Locksley. Before that, he had spent time at Arkansas (dir. of recruiting), Alabama (player personnel assistant) and a few smaller programs in Alabama.

 

This is a developing story and will be updated

That could easily be SEC saying we have Texas and Oklahoma now too so cancel any challenging out of conference game you have scheduled….  Been a few this year and last also.

Yeah there was an LSU scrub trying to talk all this shit about the DKR game day experience in 2019.

Uhh bro we came close to beating your BEST.TEAM.EVAR with a team that went 8-4 the rest of the way.

No doubt we are apathetic from years of playing crap teams but we can still get plenty of hype.

The 'torture your opponent by climate control game," right?  Poor honorable LSU lads littered the field that game with insufferable cramps.  

The only thing that pisses me off about that LSU game besides brick hands Ingram, is at the beginning when that pussy Chiasson walked over and drank from out water and our pussy team taking after Herman just sat there and did nothing. No fight. Just took it.

The correct response to that behavior is to wait until the stoppage is over, line up, pull a man in motion and have him grab his hamstring and fall down, waving to the ref. Now, have another full five-minute stoppage. Line up exactly as before, same motion and all, if they show the same D... gotcha.

Do this every single time they pull their fake injury.

Suggested Rule change: For safety of participants, a player leaving the game due to injury may not re-enter the game until (a) a change of possession has occurred AND (b) player is cleared by NCAA Official Physician. In the event said player is re-injured identically (e.g. leg cramps, turned ankle) he may not re-enter the game under any circumstance.

SEC loves soft schedules get use to it...  We will never see Ohio State, USC or Michigan out of conference again ….  Get use to Sam Houston, Texas State, UTEP, ect.   Hopefully we don’t go to lower level as much as they do is all we can hope for at this point.  Just look at the games they canceled already the last two years.  Yes it’s the best conference in football on the top level of its teams, (Bama, LSU, Georgia, hell atm played Georgia once somehow in 12 years?!). but it’s soft as Charmaine when it comes to protecting that legend.  Theirs selective scheduling is ridiculous.

It’s true that most of the SEC loves soft schedules, but the top/elite of the SEC does not.

Here are the big dogs and who they’ve played over the last 10 years…

Alabama: Texas, Wisconsin, Miami, Florida St, USC, Louisville

Georgia: Oregon, Clemson, Notre Dame, North Carolina, plus Georgia Tech each year

Florida: Miami, Utah, Michigan, UCF, USF, and (not as impressive until you remember) they play Florida State each year

LSU: Wisconsin, Miami, Texas, UCLA, Florida Stare, USC

and even aggy (credit where credit is due): Oregon, Miami, UCLA, Clemson, Notre Dame

I do think the recent realignment will slow down this type of scheduling some but I doubt it goes away completely. Bluebloods will still want to play other bluebloods and near blueblood type teams, plus opening up a CFP to 12 give these teams a mulligan especially it it’s a high caliber matchup like Alabama/Texas last year.

So Georgia didn’t cancel Oklahoma last year at the behest of the conference or our return LSU game the yea before?  I mean there’s more examples someone canceled a OK State series for a D2 game, I think someone canceled T Tech for the same….   When you have to list Louisville and Georgia Tech as strong opponents, something’s wrong…..   let’s not forget atm played Georgia once in twelve years…

I don’t fault Georgia or Oklahoma for that. The conference wanted to build up the excitement. Again many SEC teams schedule like little bitches, for example Tennessee hasn’t played a major opponent since Oklahoma back in 2015, but to act like they all do this is dumb, just look at the examples I listed above.

Texas had series scheduled with LSU, Alabama, Georgia, Florida; and they also played many of the same level schools from other conferences such as USC/Oregon/UCLA, Florida St/Clemson/Miami, Notre Dame…

the only way you could improve that list would be to add Oklahoma (which some had scheduled) Michigan, Ohio State, or Penn State.

If your criticism of the top of the SEC is basically they need to schedule the top 3 teams in the Big Ten or they are soft then your expectations are just a bit unreasonable.

Dead in the water: Anonymous coach puts South Carolina HC Shane Beamer on blast

Gonna be interesting to see how this year goes for the Cocks.  With such a tough schedule and the fairly new contract extension, Beamer likely gets at least one more season after 2024.

I'd love to see aggy slither away again. Maybe they do. But I don't see this exact scenario playing out if the secX3 only nets 1 team added. Now if the above did happen in some sort of domino effect fashion (FSU and Clemson get added, then aggy utilizes the opportunity to bolt), I could see the conference trying to add UNC or Duke for the TV viewership. 

Bottom line, the conference will need to have an even number of teams imo. 

Ah save that crap for the realignment thread.

We have a one game losing record to Penn St, Northwestern, and Minnesota. I say we go after those first if we’re playing Big Ten schools OOC.

Question- SEC media days are next week, in Dallas. Any announced plans for Sark to speak to local Texas Exes?

That still gives them 4 OOC games since they just added Marshall to replace UCLA.

 

Edit: Disregard. Marshall is only for 2025 which we've already locked down as an 8 game conference schedule.

Looking at Florida/NCState. Both have openings in 2027. They could just move the 2026 game there.

Perhaps the most important figure of South Carolina football’s recruiting operation is no longer with the program.

Taylor Edwards, the Gamecocks’ director of player personnel, is leaving coach Shane Beamer’s program, according to a report from The Big Spur on Tuesday afternoon.He’d been with the team for three seasons.

Beamer hired Edwards less than three months after he took the job in Columbia and, since then, he has not only been instrumental in helping South Carolina to Top-25 recruiting classes in each of the past three seasons but acting as the liaison between the football program and South Carolina’s NIL collectives.

Before arriving in Columbia, Edwards was Maryland’s Director of Recruiting Operations for two years under coach Mike Locksley. Before that, he had spent time at Arkansas (dir. of recruiting), Alabama (player personnel assistant) and a few smaller programs in Alabama.

Shane Beamer and South Carolina have landed a top personnel figure with stops in the Big 10, SEC and Pac-12

DOUG SAMUELS   JUL 8, 2024

Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks have landed an experienced alumnus for a top personnel role on staff.

Reports, starting last night locally and stretching into today, began to share that Oregon's Darren Uscher, an alumnus of South Carolina, was being targeted for the director of player personnel opening.

This evening, South Carolina announced the hire officially.

With the Ducks, Uscher worked in personnel and recruiting as he and Dan Lanning's staff put together one of the top recruiting classes in the country.

Before joining the staff in Eugene Uscher served briefly in a GM capacity at UCLA under Chip Kelly before his departure to Ohio State.

Uscher has also led personnel departments at places like Auburn at Boise State as well.

He spent two seasons on The Plains and seven total seasons at Boise State.

Good to know that. But NCState still needs to do something about 2026 as they have 5 OOC games.

And Cal needs more OOC games in 2026-27.

I think for them it has to do more about travel. .  They've got to fly like 25000 miles this season with the ACC schedule.

Same with UCLA dropping Auburn and Georgia.

So, everyone but Mizzou and Miss St are good.

But boy does Mizzou have some work to do. 7 upcoming OOC schedules that would need to be adjusted.

KU, IL, and MO St won’t get dropped. Doubtful Army is dropped.

NIL, FL Atl, Troy or AR PB will go away. And they may shuffle/cancel others. Kinda depends.

Mizzou is probably going to have to buy off a bunch of those games.
