Not much of a story, just a statement.

GH · 06-22-2014, 03:50 PM

interesting

Gamecocks1137 · 06-22-2014, 03:58 PM

Yep, I am assuming this also means he was let go by the Arena Football team he was on.

cockymac · 06-22-2014, 04:02 PM

Let the party continue.

usc1 · 06-22-2014, 04:28 PM

I'd read what he says.

Thenardier · 06-22-2014, 04:30 PM

Should be some good insights.

Yep...he was "placed on reassignment" which is arena football terminology for being cut.

ColaCock · 06-22-2014, 05:16 PM

I saw him at CVS 2 weekends ago and talked with him for a few minutes. Definitely in good shape still. He was wearing a SDS shirt, so I assume he was already in works with them at the time. Had a great attitude and is still a huge Gamecock.

Long hair don't care.

B-G · 06-22-2014, 05:18 PM

Maybe this will give me a better reason to read that site.

cockymac · 06-22-2014, 06:06 PM

Does he have any animosity towards SOS or the school, or has he realized that he brought it all on himself?

Let the judgments begin

I'll speed things up:

1 we all did it
2 you did it, I did it
3 It's Hyman's fault
4 We'll always have Alabama
5 What could have been
6 He played hurt
7 coulda woulda shoulda
8 It's nobody elses fault but his
9 I wish him well

We can just pick one and move on, like a Chinese menu, just post the appropriate number, saves time

etowngangsta · 06-22-2014, 07:39 PM

Let me get a 1,4, 8, and 9.

He will be good at reporting on the best tailgating spots.

GH · 06-22-2014, 07:52 PM

Anybody remember how a lot of people said Garcia made a mistake by choosing South Carolina over Auburn, Oklahoma, Florida and Notre Dame?

Many told Stephen Garcia that Steve Spurrier was a difficult coach to play for and that QBs that aspire to the NFL should not play for him.

They also said that South Carolina was not a place you could go and win.

I appreciate Garcia ignoring those people even though, in retrospect, it might have worked out better for him if he had listened to them and chose another school. (but ultimately the troubles, suspensions and dismissal were his doing)

Even with all the drama that went on during his time here, he still manage to become one of the top passers in USC's history and had a signature win or two.

I will always be a fan of his and hope he has as much success as he works for...

I will take numbers 1, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 11 off the hidden menu (the one about Spurrier QBs)

Steven Garcia brought us our only SEC division championship. He is one of the best QBs ever to play at USC. Some say he is the best QB ever to play here. Even the great Connor Shaw couldn't bring home a championship. 11-2 is nice but 10-2 with a championship is better. I'd be more concerned about welcoming Garcia back to Columbia than Sterling Sharpe. He did more for USC than any other USC QB in its history. So what if he left a few games early from a pidly mistake? So what???? He won a championship folks. Admit it! If he had broke his finger and missed the last few games of his college career instead of breaking a rule we would be talking about a statue for him rather than insulting the guy.

no, there would never be a statue for Stephen Garcia..... I am sorry dude. Yea he has some great wins and big moments, but ultimately had Shaw QB'd that team we would have gotten over the hump. Its hard to run your offense when the QB isn't committed to the team's goals.

No offense to Garcia, just that had he realized one 10th of his potential he could've been great, he didn't and wasn't that great. You also must remember how much higher he was rated than Shaw coming out of high school. Shaw never lost at home, never lost to Clem5-0n, and beat some highly ranked opponents. Shaw is by far the best QB we have ever had, if there was ever talk of a QB statue, I would hope it would be of a Gamecock legend or somebody who represented the school and won with honor. Definitely not a guy like Garcia.

Just fwiw, not a insult. Garcia also never lost to clemson, and beat a good many ranked teams. Just sayin.

Gamecocks1137 · 06-22-2014, 09:44 PM

Just a reminder this thread is about him becoming a commentator for SDS lol So, anyone have an opinion on that?

Lonnie · 06-22-2014, 11:03 PM

Someone buy that man a beer! Congrats!

Gee....a statue of Stephen Garcia...I never thought of that.

What would it read? Owns record NCAA for most suspensions by a FBS player?
