So Marshall is also playing a make-up game this weekend


Nov 29, 2018, 2:27 AM

with Virginia Tech.

I wonder why USCjr didn't just reschedule their game with MU? Think it might have something to do with the Herd being an 8-3 team? Marshall is playing @ VT for only $300k, but Coot U is willing to pay Akron, a 4-7 team, $1.3 mil to come to Columbia and play them in a stadium that won't even be half full?

South Carolina football ducks Conference-USA opponents.

You'd have to pay me $1.3 Mil to visit Columbia too!

I will guarantee you that Coots did not want to take a chance of a loss. They knew there was a possibility of needing a guaranteed win to make the bowl games. Coots knew long ago they would not make SEC Championship but they sold it as a chance in hopes they could pick up a much weaker team.

I promise you this was the most critical demonstration to make post season play I have ever seen. Then realize Champ's bonus jumps substantially for a bowl game but add a winny season and he makes probably $100k.

But wait, he then get's a crappy Bowl against a crappy team and gets the win for another $50k

Biggest sham ever but Coots will cluck!!

Columbia’s moto is an hour’s drive from somewhere nice.

Marshall was in the running to play in their conference championship game up until a couple of weeks ago so they couldn’t commit to a game. Instead of waiting around and risk it Tanner went ahead and scheduled Akron. Terry Bowden’s team beat Northwestern so they can win

u5c was always scared to death of the Marshall game...


Nov 29, 2018, 8:47 AM

which is why they opted to pay Akron $1.3 million in a desperate attempt to get a badly needed win and possibly get to a better bowl game.

The Birmingham and Independence Bowl payouts are both less than the amount u5c paid Akron. Now that the University is having to literally give tickets away in a desperate attempt to get ANYONE to show-up for the Akron game, u5c will absolutely lose its a$$ on this game.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
