Shane Beamer Apologizes To Fans

Gamecock head coach Shane Beamer apologized to South Carolina fans who came out to Williams-Brice Stadium.

Earlier this week, head coach Shane Beamer challenged South Carolina fans to pack Williams-Brice stadium for a big matchup against the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs.

The Gamecocks suffered a humbling defeat in front of a lively home crowd. Georgia pummeled South Carolina, as they do to most teams nowadays. Beamer went out of his way to apologize to Gamecock fans who made the trip to Columbia.

"I want to apologize to our fans that were out there today. That was a poor performance, to say the least."

Beamer said he did a "horse crap" job preparing South Carolina for the contest but emphasized that they would be back. The Gamecocks play their next two games against Charlotte and South Carolina State, allowing them to fine-tune things before entering the meat of their conference schedule.

This remains a talented team capable of doing good things. However, they appear a ways away from making significant noise in the SEC East, as Georgia has a stronghold over everything happening on that side of the conference. South Carolina can remain competitive with almost any other team in their division and need some big wins down the stretch to complete their season.
