A 18-49 night in Tuscaloosa had the room calling procreation a sin and drafting Beamer's pink slip.
Limited datapart of this game thread is missing from the Reddit archive.
What happened
Tuscaloosa was the turning point, and not in the way anyone wanted: an 18-49 loss at Alabama that sent South Carolina to 2-2 and the fanbase from grumbling to grieving, misery climbing from 83 to 96 in seven days. The board's top post wasn't about scheme or recruiting but conscience, one fan admitting he couldn't "bear the sin of subjugating more unfortunate souls to South Carolina football." Another simply typed "Fire Shane Beamer." When the fans start apologizing to strangers, the damage is spiritual.

“We are a disgrace. Our guys show no fight unless it’s picking up dumbass penalties and throwing punches. Completely outclassed across the board. Beamers a dead man walking. Sellers sucks now and our star pass rusher is a diva. Burn it all down.”

“that really could not have been any more lopsided than it was… and the worst part, in a sense, is that any reason for hope that still existed in you as a Gamecock was immediately snuffed with our unadulterated, utter incompetence immediately in the first quarter fire Shane Beamer”
