Paul Finebaum Says South Carolina Would Have Beaten LSU Without ESPN GameDay In Columbia

by Staff Reporter

September 17, 202477 Comments

ESPN's Paul Finebaum appeared on ‘The Matt Barrie Show’ Sunday and gave a hot take about LSU's 36-33 win at South Carolina.

According to Finebaum, the Gamecocks would have beaten LSU if ESPN College GameDay wasn't in Columbia last weekend. Per On3:

quote:
“I think South Carolina would have beaten LSU without GameDay,” said Finebaum.

Part of that may be because the home team is now 0-3 this season when College GameDay is in town. Notre Dame beat Texas A&M in College Station to open the season before Texas won over Michigan in The Big House the weekend after. LSU then came back to defeat South Carolina in this one.

Still, to Finebaum, this was more about the Gamecocks spending too much time enjoying the spotlight. That was specifically so in the case of Shane Beamer who he felt was doing too much besides planning after appearing both on The Pat McAfee Show on Friday and then College GameDay earlier in the morning before the conference game.

“I am convinced that Beamer spent way too much time, you know, grabbing shots with McAfee and Saban and Herbie and not enough time working on the game plan,” said Finebaum. “The last couple minutes of that game? Beamer was atrocious.”

If you still planning and hour and a half before game time then you already failed.. What an idiot take by big ears

How did this frickin dweeb get to this level of media? Finebaum is a dingus that knows zero ball. Guy is a total hack. I’m actually blown away that he’s gotten this far with his knowledge level coupled with his appearance it’s a frickin miracle.

Harvey Updyke, the dumbass who poisoned the Auburn trees then called to brag about it is the reason. If not for him Finebaum would be a no name afternoon drive sports talk show in Birmingham, Alabama. Much like Matt moscona

since saban retired, I noticed finbaulm has been more reckless in his rhetoric and predictions. Maybe no correlation.

If you still need to work on the gameplan the morning of the game, well…

Apparently Beamer being on 2 shows didn't bother his play calling when they were up 17-0 Just stfu Finebaum

I love how he tries to blame the coach being on 2 shows was the cause of the last few minutes of the games horrible plays. . He lost his damm quarterback . Dude couldn't throw the ball .

Please post nothing else from this dude on tigerdroppings, he knows next to fricking nothing and only drives clicks through hot takes

That is a ridiculous take. Beamer visiting with GameDay staff had zero implications on his ability to plan/coach that team. Beamer should be VERY offended.

What a fricking idiot.

I’ve never understood why his opinion on any sport is relevant at all. Just like why any actor/singer’s opinion on politics matters at all. Or anything for that matter. These are not the geniuses on that particular subject. They just happen to have a broadcast platform.

Another quality take from this hack; I’d argue they never would have kept it competitive in the 2nd half if it wasn’t for game day

Paul is a dumb arse and is so full of himself . . . . . . . says crap just to get people riled up.

How about, we would've beaten them worse if the refs had thrown the flag on that blocked punt?

Nothing about Sc's loss looked to be from distraction. They had a huge crowd that everyone always wants. They slacked a little in the 3rd, we took advantage, and it came down to the end.
