Hall of Fame

Those men are going to risk their lives for you when they graduate for at least 5 years. At LEAST 5 years. I hope we win easily, but show them respect. Pull for your team, not against the oponent

im pretty sure they know they are playing away and expect to get booed....i would expect to get booed at an away game...i used to boo the naval academy grads when i was a young devil dog in pensacola because i just dont like sailors...if they cant handle a little booing then they definately dont need to go to combat...they should grow a sack and restart. SEMPER FI

I don't boo any opponent **. I respect them as competitors and I hope the Gamecock players respect them too as they blister their hind ends at football.

True champions play hard, play to win but play with respect.

** except for Clemson. They must die.

booooooooooooooooooooo

LMAO. I have nephew pouring sand out of his boots as we speak and if he was playing the Gamecocks, I would boo the piss out of him too just as he would me. Its football.....

Booing is for people who have a low self esteem problem because it makes them feel better.

It's always easy to tell who the young'uns are along with those who weren't raised around the word RESPECT on this board. Good character should never be set aside in the name of sports...that's why the word SPORTSMANSHIP is in the dictionary.

If I had my way about this issue, the military teams we play against would be brought out onto the field, introduced by our announcer, the National Anthem would be played and these young men who will be risking their lives for our feedom would be given a standing ovation for their service to our country. The world would get to see a fan base with some real class and we would set the standard for how our military should be honored...even on the football field.

It would be awesome to hear the announcer say ... "Ladies & Gentlemen, please stand and give a standing ovation to these young men who serve their country and risk their lives for our freedom. Never forget that without them and the many others serving in our military branches that this would not be the great country we live in today."

When the game starts, let the teams fight it out on the field.

After the game...win or lose, our fans should still show respect to these young men and thank them for serving their country. They are after all, part of the reason you and I have this thing we know as freedom. But a lot of you aren't familiar with the word RESPECT. It saddens me to see our younger generations being so self serving and so lacking of character. How sad that America is going to pot, even when it comes to football. Those of you to whom I am referring may now start downvoting...enjoy it. That is what I have come to expect from you.

I certainly don't plan on booing Navy, however you just can't do what you that in regard to introducing them to the crowd.
It is not a matter of respect. There were some on here last season that after Kenny McKinley died wanted us to wear all black and have the team observe a highlight video of McKinley right before the game etc.
And that was a bad idea and it's not because I don't miss McKinley and wasn't sad about it...it's just that football is an emotional and physical game, it involves a certain mindset one has to be in. It basically requires one side trying to beat the brains out of another. I'd be willing to bet the Navy guys would feel very awkward getting a standing ovation from the away crowd before the game.
Tim Frisby did a great service to his country but I don't think you were going to get Florida, Georgia etc. to allow for a standing ovation before the game and, again, I don't think it would be because those opposing fans didn't respect his service to our country.
After the game, if you want to pat a Navy kid on the back or wish them well, that's fine and appropriate. And it's always appropriate to thank a member of our military for their service. Just not right before you would like nothing better than to beat them 56-0. That's just a little awkward, don't you think?

The only team I boo is Clemson, and I wear myself out doing that.

When we play the Citadel's toy soldiers, shall we not be allowed to boo them either? I say this because I went to C of C, so they are kind of like Clemson to me.

Y'all lets be real, come on to boo someone who has their life on the line, for you thats retarded. Do not boo, and make our university look like the most unintelligent school in the United States really?

I don't boo anybody, but refs when they make a bad call. I dont wear a jersey either. I also don't spit on people.

My point is Navy is Navy. We are paying them $1,000.000.00 to come here. We don't need to treat them any different from anyone else. By some of the analogies here we should have not scheduled them because we are traitors by not pulling for them.
