Here’s the best thing about South Carolina’s football season, which, as you may have noticed, starts Saturday: Gamecocks fans can decide for themselves how happy they want to be about it.
The first option, henceforth referred to as “the correct choice,” is to be encouraged and optimistic. Three seasons removed from a three-win season, South Carolina has a reasonable chance to finish the regular season 10-2.
The second option, which is only an option because certain college football fans, especially some who have lived through decades of tortured USC football history, are more content in a constant state of aggravation, is to be focused on the “2” in 10-2.
