South Carolina’s Shane Beamer wasn’t disappointed by anything his team did in Saturday’s loss to UNC. Rather, his ire was drawn at the stadium’s chain crew.
Speaking to reporter’s after the game, Beamer expressed his frustration with the crew for “eating hot dogs” rather than being ready for his team to kick an onside kick coming out of the half.
“It’s kind of the story of the night,” the Gamecocks coach said. “Clock was wrong the whole game, we were trying to kick an onside to start the second half and we’ve gotta wait for the chain crew because they’re eating a hot dog… That’s the only disappointing thing about tonight.”

“Didn’t they recover said onside kick?” asked 247’s Chris Fisher.

Not the best look. USC will try to bounce back with a tune up against Furman.
