Ahead of Saturday’s game against South Carolina, we asked a few questions of Kody Timmers, one of the managers at South Carolina’s SB Nation blog Garnet and Black Attack. Kody’s answers are below.
1. South Carolina is 0-2 after losses to Florida and Tennessee. What’s the feeling around the fan base about the team this year?
Not good, Bob! There are basically three factions right now: the apathetic, the angry, and the nonetheless optimistic. That latter contingent, as you might expect, is the smallest, especially after the 0-2 start. There’s a fair amount of crossover between angry and apathetic folks too, but there’s a growing sense that South Carolina is losing the fans, which is quite possibly the worst situation to be in as an athletic program.
