GAMEDAY THREAD: Houston at Rice (L 43-41)

It all starts with the HC on down

Also, rice, UH yet to play a single conference game.

I image 0-2 Baylor and Tech are ready to start conference play. Rice might win a few

I mean come on, we’re coogs, we lose non conference games almost every season

Not sure how long it is going to take Belk to have one or two good years because last year our defense was awful and he isn’t off to a great start this year.
Herman had the luxury of being at Ohio State on a national championship team loaded with great, great athletes. He came here and then died at Texas, which had athletes comparable to Alabama.and Ohio State.
Texas is proving this year that a good head coach makes a huge difference

Rice will now probably be a bowl team. We should have beaten them but they are scrappy and well coached and play hard. Daniels is a good quarterback and when given time can pick you apart like he did the Coogs tonight.

I was in the end zone. I saw the PI call and it didn’t look to me like he pushed him. I thought that was a bad call that bailed them out. On the other hand, how was that missed two point conversion not called a PI? That looked pretty blatant to me. Either way, it shouldn’t have even come down to that. I’m just so disappointed in where this program is. I just want to watch winning cougar football again.

P.S.- I spoke with Ryan Jackson today and said to him that I thought Rice was due for a win, since they seem to win one or two every decade and we had won seven in a row, and sure enough it happened.

Briles is going to score so fast and so often that the TCU defense will be tired from facing our offense.

Just to show everyone that it is not just us, Gamecocks Reddit board is full on Shane Beamer hate.

“Why didn’t we go after Prime?” “Why are we stuck with Beamer?” “He has no offensive imagination?”

Completely asinine play-calling in OT. We’re at the point where we have to call a halfback pass in OT to win a game against Rice?

And throwing a fade pass for a two-point conversion??? Smith is 3 yards from the freakin endzone!!! Roll him out. Hell, run a QB option. Do a sweep! WTF

I missed the game live. Just watched the first quarter, Total domination by Rice. This just can’t happen.

Oh, and Miami warned us about D’Nofrio and I didn’t listen. WVU fans warned us about Dana’s play-calling and I didn’t listen. When Pez decides to hire the Grad Assistant at Northern Iowa as our next head coach I can assure you I’m gonna scour that school’s message board and make my decision that moment.

I will say that rice wideouts was one of their strong points against Texas


I watched the The Deer Hunter on Netflix last night and thought it was the most depressing thing I’d ever watched. One day later and I’ve already changed my mind.

Chizik - National champion as DC. 8 years as DC at FBS level before getting HC job

Muschamp - National champion as DC. 8 years DC at LSU, Auburn, UT

Dillingham - 5 years OC at Memphis, FSU, and Oregon. Probably least qualified on your list

Herman - National champion as OC. 10 years at OC and took HC job at G5 school

Morris - 5 years OC including 4 at Clemson. Tok HC job at G5 schol

I didn’t even look at all of their other qualifications most with more experience at high level non-coordinator positions which Belk does not have

Doug Belk’s resume doesn’t compare. 4 year DC at G5 school. Probably could have taken a lower G5 HC job after 2021 though

Why is everything with Belk either feast or famine? That’s not good coaching. At this point in his career here his defense should have a brand. Turnovers, INT’s, stops the run, etc.

WTF is his unit known for?

Because he’s like Dana. He likes to gamble.
