I don't even know what to make of this mess at this point.


1. Word is leaked a few days ago that our Board of Trustees has flown in at least 2 candidates to replace Tanner as AD. They wanted to "gauge the interest" of the two individuals in the AD position. This was done completely and totally behind Tanner's back while the BoTs and Caslen very vocally proclaimed they were 100% behind Ray Tanner remaining in the position of AD. Someone leaked the info to the press and Tanner found out about it at the same time and thru the same social media outlets as the rest of us.

2. This evening word was leaked that Tanner had contacted FSU concerning what they did to cover Taggart's buyout on such short notice and to what extreme private donors were involved and how they managed to "encourage" said donors to cough up the money. Caslen indictated that he was aware that Tanner had done this. Meanwhile, Tanner had been EXTREMELY vocal and persistent that he would basically remain steadfast and would not be swayed concerning his absolute and continued support of Muschamp. Basically he had seemingly and permanently hitched his wagon to the Muschamp ship and would go down with it before admitting he'd made a mistake by hiring him and further, by extending his contract which led to the ridiculous buyout amount. Muschamp discovered the betrayal by Tanner at the same time and thru the same social media sites as the rest of us.

3. The University just issued a statement within the past 45 minutes that they deny that Tanner had any contact with FSU and certainly did not contact them regarding any sort of buyout information leading everyone to wonder if Caslen lied or Tanner lied or the University is lying or..most likely scenario..they are all a bunch of bumbling, retarded, mindfricked headcases who are incapable of discretion or the ability to communicate on the most basic of levels.


There's no excuse for this gargantuan clusterfrick of an implosion. How these ppl don't or can't or are unwilling to grasp the urgency and necessity of discretion, now more than ever, is beyond me.

We need a nickname for this implosion and the events that are yet to occur and very publicly be displayed for all to see.

Damn it if we can't win anything else, we're getting a massive jump on winning the offseason this year.

Oh it just got better.

The media outlet that broke the Tanner-FSU story earlier this evening has responded to the University's denial that it happened.

They stand by what they reported because...

They have it on tape.

I hate all this for y'all. USC was my 2nd favorite team growing up behind LSU because the family next door that was like brothers to us were all from Carolina.

If you want a name for it... the shite is on fire and y'all's mascot is essentially a big fighting chicken... As The Rotisserie Burns?

Maybe in some sick, perverted, twisted way this ends up being the kick in the arse we needed to do whatever it takes to put ourselves in a position to succeed.

Like I mentioned before, Muschamp obviously isn't cut from HC clothe but as a man, he is a good person. I hate the way this is devolving into just a horrifically ugly situation because for all the damage he has done to our program, he still deserves to be treated better than this. Pretty certain he thought Tanner was a good friend of his in addition to his boss and given how Muschamp values trust and loyalty, this has to hurt him on a personal level.

I've stood by this program and this University thru thick and thin..it is my Alma Mater and I love it..but I've never been more ashamed of how we've handled anything in all my years of being a Gamecock as I am this. Yeah, we might suck arse at football and as a whole we've definitely had our brainfarts but I swear I thought we were fundamentally better than this on a level that doesn't even encompass sports.

It's cold in Cola and since our fans may end up having to come up with $$ to buy Muschamp out we may need the warmth of the fire when we can't pay our electricity bills. We'll keep the dumpster burning here a bit longer.

Crazy that this program got a win over Georgia and is still in such disarray.

Lord knows, as an Arkansas fan I have no room to talk about inept and ignorant administration, but South Carolina's choice of mascot lends itself to naming the situation. Obviously, you fans are dealing with The Great Cock Block.

Good news is that this may not even see the light of day nationally as everyone is obsessed with Tua's injury, Bama's demise, and LSUs run.
