The State: Gamecocks feeling better about themselves despite another loss. Kendall describes the players as being more upbeat than you'd expect after a loss. But Cloninger asks Is it wrong for South Carolina to be so upbeat after a loss? I think it's pretty much impossible to answer whether a team's attitude is "right" or "wrong" in sports because sports should be more fun than the serious things that have real right and wrong answers. Nobody wants the team to get comfortable or content with moral victories and improvements that don't translate to real wins, but I'm certainly not going to criticize them for remaining hopeful and being positive about their chances.
