Think of Will Muschamp’s “Boom Bus” — luxury digs for a new head coach on the booster club circuit — as a rolling bandwagon. Plenty of room for South Carolina football fans who believe Muschamp when he says the Gamecocks can bounce back from a 3-9 season and win the SEC East this year.
South Carolina won’t finish first. Some “experts” are picking them to finish last.
Muschamp has it easier than Lou Holtz, Brad Scott and Sparky Woods did in their Gamecock rebuilding projects. But he lacks the veteran quarterback play Woods and Scott walked into and the fever-pitch enthusiasm that greeted Holtz and Steve Spurrier.
