GMac had his best game against SC.

3 very nice paint touchdowns we're called back.

I can't out the fumble completely on him. Stewart is a beast and Perry got beat.

The miscue 4th down was on him.

He is growing and improving in each game.

Disability help on Game Day

10 Upvotes

Does anyone have experience navigating a game day with disabilities? I've got a family member coming to town for one of the upcoming football games, and they have a permanent disability affecting their ability to walk.
I've heard about the shuttles from the Ag campus, but I can't find much information about them for the 2026 season. I'm just trying to make sure we are as prepared as possible. Does anyone have any information or advice they could give me? Thank you!

Win and we're in

This was a setup game, 8 straight weeks, just played Bama, SC coming off a bye. The SEC did the same thing to GA last week, with the eerily same result. Put it behind you, fuck the gamecocks and their little brother energy.

Our next game is against the #1 team in the SEC. We'll give LSU their 3rd loss. We own the head to head with Alabama. Let UGA and Texas play in the SEC championship, it's an extra game that's meaningless and won't be played anymore in 5 years. At least 3 SEC teams get in out of 12, every other conference is 1 team at the top and a bunch of average the rest of the way through. If we win the rest of our games, we're one of those three (maybe 4) easily.

David Smith is a bastard (South Carolina game head Ref)

264 Upvotes

We are 0-10 when that head ref (David Smith) is calling games.

We had 4 TDs called back.

Not one to usually blame refs but we were robbed.

That is all.

On to the bye week.

We're ok.

You've had 24 hours to digest both the alcohol and the events of the past weekend - how are you feeling about both this week and last week? Discussion and analysis about both the previous weeks SEC games as well as upcoming games.

Are our in-conference foes looking better than expected? Worse? What did the past weekend do to your confidence in our future match-ups?

Since Heupel took over, Tennessee win/loss record is 49 - 6 when the defense makes 3 or more sacks. Time to let this defense eat!

GBO!

There isn’t “something Vegas knows that we don’t.”

We opened as favorites.

The line moved as a response to human bettors placing money on South Carolina.

Vegas has us favored. Bettors moved the line.

Idk maybe I just fundamentally misunderstand how this all works but seems cut and dry to me
