Seems the team and fans will be sticking around this holiday season with no bowl plans. After a crazy weekend in college football it was announced today that the South Carolina team (6-6) will not be part of the postseason.
The Gamecocks were among 10 SEC clubs with at least six victories while the league had only eight bowl tie-ins. Spurrier said the Independence Bowl, the last to chose an SEC team, thought that Alabama (6-6) was closer to the site and would likely be a better draw. And the hope for the bowl in Ft. Worth didn’t work out either.
It was the fifth time since 1989 that USC has been bowl eligible and didn’t go to a bowl. The last time was 2004, when the school decided not to go to a bowl after a brawl with Clemson University. It was also the first time since 1988 that a team coached by Spurrier was bowl eligible and didn’t go to bowl. That year, his second at Duke, the Blue Devils finished 7-3-1.
So do you think the 0-11 / 1-10 seasons were worse or does going 6-1 and No. 6 in the country to a 5 game skid hurt worse?
