No show for 2 weeks now. No show last week due to a bye, ok. Was supposed to have one yesterday but didn’t happen. Really can’t blame coach.

Well I can see taking off on the bye, and there is nothing to update from last week.

Lots to update, injuries, practice etc and how about this week’s game? Dan said there would be a show. Then again the way the season has gone and is going I understand no one wants to talk about it. Better to just ignore I guess.

Just a guess... does not want to talk to much about injuries because we want to keep the guessing as to who will play and who will not.

Practice... again, what is there to say except that "we had a good week of practice, feel really positive going in the game, the guys have worked hard and we will be ready."

Maybe there will be a show and we are just little off schedule. I don't think Clay is hiding from anything there is just not a lot to report.

Given everything that has happened it is Circle the Wagons time. That's fine.

FUATT, the bye week I agree with you! And appreciate your posts and input !!

But this week is as regular a week as every other - It's a Game week ! I agree about injuries though Clay has always been pretty upfront about that. But how is practice? who has stood out? ***This is the key - who could be recognized from the last game as having played well? regardless it is still a GAME WEEK. I don't understand skipping shows.. its a bad PR look. Like no one cares. it's minor league "hey, let's skip our Greenville Drive show because we aren't great this year!" . Think USC or Clemson skips a week of their show prior to their game.. No. Not gonna happen... I don't care if Clemson was 2 - 5.. they would have a show.

I still care. There is a definite bandwagon vibe hitting this year. Much less interest etc. I am as interested as ever ! Not as excited perhaps. But I am still studying opponents and having fun (ok, maybe a little less fun ;) ) -

I know some PMs have told me they have given up on us this year.. I guess that's just to be expected.. from fans. But you don't want a PR look that we don't care

Anyway, as Astrodin and all will tell you, we only live once and might as well be positive and enjoy every fall and have fun Regardless ! I always admired the Gamecock fans back in 0-11 and 2-9 years (late 90s, whatever) that they would still be packing the stadium with 70,000 fans when they played Clemson. Eternal optimism. I will give them Cock fans big credit for that. ... at Williams Brice they had 83,987 fans - I checked - (mostly Carolina) so they could witness the 5-7 team get beat 63 - 17 by Clemson.. you get my point. that's DEVOTION. Those are fans.

I have not given up a lick on this season. Every game, every series, every play. Lets gooooooo!
You haven’t but when FU doesn’t bother with a show it appears they have or gives the look anyway as GF pointed out. We have always had a show after a bye week. We hardly ever mention injuries anyway, I for the life of me can’t believe the VMI coaches or any coaches are watching the CCH show to find out who is playing and who is not. They have never heard of our current players, heck us fans don’t know 90% of them. We never tell anyway. It is a non-factor. Coaches should be worrying about their own team. Appreciate all you do. 👍

I hear ya. Maybe he is busy coaching, coaching the coaches, coaching the players. Maybe there is something going on with the family, with the team, with the admin. IDK.

Best thing about being fans is we can see different sides.

I absolutely listen to the shows. I like hearing what is going on and tap my sources to find out what I can (not much).

I also don't care if we ever do another coaches show ever if we go out and beat the dog snot out of everyone we play. 8-)

FUATT, we Agree. We can have different sides. No worries at all.

And yes, agree if we win a national title then fine don’t do the shows :D. Though I do feel sure there are NDSU and SDSU shows. Everyone does them. But we ain’t winning a title this year. Let’s have our shows. Just like to hear a little of what’s up with our guys !!! I am still interested in our games and the team. Hope we get a win or two here. I would take 4 - 7. AND IMPROVEMENT. that’s been the harsh part. We have looked worse - to be fair when you go from Stetson and Citadel to Western and UTC you are gonna look worse .. I get it. Also further injuries.

But I repeat we have had no further injuries on OL or QB or RB. And that’s where we are struggling the most. RUN THE DANG BALL.

Agree GF. The offense has pretty much stayed in tact except for the Harris departure with no improvement.
