Arrogant self-delusion? I'd call it wanting to compete on the big stage...
...and South Carolina has been having a much better time the last couple seasons in the SEC, than we have the easy ACC. We can't even be sure of win against ODU and Liberty anymore. We're irrelevant, and it's likely only going to get worse.
You are also making the EXACT same illogical assumption that was made before we entered the ACC. Remember when Bill Brill, and that group was saying we could never compete in the ACC....yeah, because we didn't have acc resources.
To each his own, but I have no desire to be a fan of a chicken-little program that doesn't want to compete at the adult table. If w/l record is the only goal, then let's drop down to FCS, because that's where the program is right now anyway. We are a middle pack FCS school.
We need more money. We need more exposure. We need better recruiting. We need to be relevant.
I absolutely did not miss the point.
