Paul Finebaum assesses Gamecocks, fan hatred for Clemson

July 01, 2019

Like most national analysts pontificating on South Carolina's expected challenges during the 2019 season, ESPN's Paul Finebaum is holding on to what little stock he has left in Will Muschamp.

Facing a schedule loaded with elite competition, the Gamecocks won't get a sense of finality for Muschamp's future and the program's trajectory until after the approaching campaign, Finebaum says.

I read the article.

  Pawl understands more than most want to admit about us and other SEC programs. There is no question our season could go bad really quick if we were to lose to a unc or App. Stayut. With us playing the top 3 teams in the nation plus TAMU and Flawda, we have no room for error in games we should win or even 50/50 games. We will have to be ready to play well every weekend to get to 7 wins.
