Does U of SC only recruit thugs? Re: Dylan Stewart

[rocky29670]

Or does their culture make decent players act like thugs?
Dylan Stewart blasts Ole Miss QB with an imaginary shotgun not once but twice in the game.


Seems like they have players doing something like this every single week, year after year.




Clearly learned his lesson and only uses gun violence against a teammate the second time

 

[tigerc]

DC thug. They will have to pay him well after this season because only money will keep him playing for that team

 

[padtigers]

I am not going to throw out "thug" on someone but this is very selfish. Everyone has some type of celebration type deal but the act of shooting someone seems a bit much. The action was not as bad as the situation it put his teammates in. Absolutely stupid and selfish. Stewart is a helluva player. Young kid making a terrible mistake. Not gonna judge his character over a 5 second decision.

 

[TigerRoar8]

I’d happily take that “thug” on our defensive front. Not going to judge the kid over a dumb decision in a football game. Selfish and out of touch with the game situation though for sure.

 

[FranktheDank]

Did Franks son cry to the refs about the flag? C’mon mann, that wasn’t a machine gun he was doin it was a massage gun. My guy was just massagin eem

 

[TigerDentGuy]

I mean it was a boneheaded play. But that is a dude right there. He’s raw/young/undersized. But when he adds about 15ish-20lbs he’s going to be a nightmare.

 

[clemsongolfer2]

Just say what you wanna say. Everyone knows what you mean when you use the word thug. Be better.

His 1st step is insane. UorSc is about to have to open up the wallet to keep the kid.... If that is he want. All the high profile teams are going to offer him some large amounts of money. He has earned those offers

 

[JAMCRACKER99]

And I remember when Dwayne Allen got flagged for saluting the military in an end zone celebration on military appreciation day.

I’ll judge the staff for allowing it to continue.

 

[jaybuu]

There are countless players on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays doing similar celebrations. Doesn’t make it right, but doesn’t make anyone a thug either.

The newest one is DBs pulling up their jersey to show their hip after an incompletion bc they’re “strapped up.”

Minnesota actually got called for a penalty on USC’s last drive of the game for “insinuating a weapon” 😂😂

Could say the culture problem is the fact they’re getting their asses kicked and their players continue to celebrate and act extra if they make a play.

 

[PawsFan_]

Celebrations are getting out of hand again. Players have been pushing the limits for awhile now. Time for the refs to reign it in with their flags.

 

[PCHOI]

I actually discussed this with several of my group chats yesterday. It’s such a dumb celebration and imo, poor class.

Perhaps it’s because my family knows a few families from Apalachee HS so my personal emotions may be getting in the way.

I’m all for players celebrating and having fun. It’s part of the game. But this one just seems a bit much - esp considering all the things we have going on with guns. And before anyone calls me a lib or soft or an old man, I’m a proud owner of several guns. Just not a fan of the actual celebrqtion

The thing is - it’s happening everywhere. It’s not just USCjr. It’s happening at the NFL too…

 

[Orange&Purple]

Yes!!!

 

[tgrharley]

it means its a "thug" thing.....shooting someone. Quit playing "the card". Kid's an idiot AND a thug. Be better

This…

My best friend, who is a SC fan, was livid after the game last night at the staff. He wants Beamer gone. He can’t stand the culture of the program or his whiny ass

We were talking about how coaches like Dabo, Smart, Saban etc would have met their player at the hash mark and absolutely chewed their ass. Beamer chews the officials

 

[Cheap Shot]

The short answer is… yes.

 

[cjtiger300]

That might be the single dumbest penalty I've ever seen. That was a stop on their down too and kept the drive alive if I'm not mistaken

 

[ryanhaley]

oh dear god. this loser crap is so pathetic - be better than a pathetic loser, please.

 

[ValleyCat_6317]

This is banned under NCAA Rule 9, Section 2:Unsportsmanlike Conduct, Article 1 a(c) and has been for a while.

However, there has been a big uptick of this kind of stuff lately (LSU vs USC). There is also a variety of this with kick the door in, robbery. I am assuming most of the folks doing this are not violent, probably don't own a gun, and are generally nice guys outside of football. So, why do it as your celebration?

To be clear, I think celebrations are part of the game and I am as fired up as anybody when our own team would celebrate 'using weapons' (Trotter with the hammer, Watson with bow and arrow).

This just feels different with a gun and gun violence. I think there is going to be a crackdown on this coming soon like the NFL rules 'no weapons' and all the penalties of the 'cut throat' from the early 90s.

From a pure football perspective, like a former coach told us, if you don't like their celebration and what they're doing, don't let them make a big play.

 

[Whenry]

Not only does uofsc recruit thugs, but they nurture thuggery

 

[funkbott]

Down 24 in the 4th quarter. What an idiot

 

[cjtiger300]

Take several laps. You've lost all credibility here

 

[okclem]

I definitely see what you're saying, OP, but if you don't hit em with that 2nd tap you might get caught slipping.

Beams isn’t going to do that because that just likens the chances of Stewart leaving after this season. That weasel will do anything to keep him there.

maybe but if you have respect of your players, you should be able to chew them out and them feel bad for letting you down.

No one is safe from a Dabo chewing from coordinators down to players

 

[harristeeter]

This thread went about the way I expected when I read the title. You knew it was coming. lol

 

[okclem]

Thug is 100% racist and anyone denying it is a clown fool 😂😂 Y'all let me know the first time you apply the term to a white guy.

 

[sloanMB]

Did anyone stop to consider that this was a handsaw? He’s a carpenter. Like Joseph.

No? Me neither.

??? I never mentioned Dabo. I just stated why Beams wouldn’t do it.

Those two coaches are not the same.

I know that was my point...

Coaches like Beamer who do not have respect of their locker room can't get away with it. Guys like Dabo, Saban, Smart, etc can...because their staff and players respect them.

I was agreeing with you...chill

 

[BionicTiger]

kid should have to watch a slideshow of close-range shotgun victims on loop for a couple hours. Nothing about that celebration is okay.

 

[okclem]

LoL The freshman got an unsportsmanlike penalty, and that's all he deserved. Sometimes kids make mistakes.

 

[santee]

Mafia guys were frequently referred to as thugs

It is only racist if that is on your mind

The definition is a violent aggressive person
