quote:

"It's unfortunate, but it's America,” Martin said. “You think we all agree on everything? Our state is united. Our state believes in peace and harmony. That's why this event is being held in our state right now. Our state is progressive. Our state has incredible people that's about moving forward. "But it's America. We have freedoms. People have freedoms to do whatever they want to do with themselves and their property. It is what it is. “There are things out there that I don't like. But I can't force people to do what I want them to do. All I know is this unbelievable university and state has taken in a son of Cuban immigrants that's married to a Jamaican woman, has mixed kids, and they've treated me like I'm one of their own from Day 1. "I wouldn't want to coach in any other state or with any other group of people, for any other bosses than the ones I've got. Our alums, our community is a beautiful, beautiful place. It's a united state. Unfortunately, things like that happen but we live in the United States of America — and we don't all agree on things."

Help me find the rant here. Another "media" outlet, USA Today this time, just trying to stir shite and divide us with sensationalist headlines.

It should read, "Frank Martin correctly answers dumb question"

The final design of the Confederate flag was the best imo:

Well done by Martin. He's right all the way, and his team is kicking arse.

Good answer by him.

On a related note, does he still have his biddies behind the bench every game? The guys he grew up with in Miami that look like mob enforcers? They're pretty funny to see.

I freaking love him. He's probably my favorite basketball coach right now. I wish dicknose Alleva would have gotten him.

They've been awful for a while. Go read about their obsession with Brady and Trumps friendship. It's so ridiculous

Bad choice of words.

It was a good complete answer and it wasn't long winded.

Coach Martin has done a PHENOMENAL job here at SoCar.

I am not a Gamecock fan, but I am in Downtown Columbia every day ... listen to a lot of his press conferences ... monitor what he has built.


He is a solid, down to earth dude.

SoCar is lucky to have him ... and better pay him to lock him up.

kind of shocked that I haven't seen a "It's about State Rights" post in here.

Martin pretty much covered that when he basically said ... free country ... I may not like it ... but people can do whatever the frick they want.

While this is all well and good and puts a good light on USC's fanbase. Let's not ignore the fact that winning is the ultimate reason that he's receiving positive reviews. For the most part, winning can make people forget some of their personal issues.
