USC Gamecocks Football

So, about that Muschamp F-bomb video that’s circulating on social media ...

The video looks just about like any other South Carolina’s video staff might produce.

It’s Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp calling for USC fans to stand up, maybe for a big moment, with a standard “Spurs Up” in the middle.

But there’s also the matter of the bit of swearing in the middle.

The video popped up on the feed of the Barstool South Carolina Twitter account a few hours before South Carolina’s opener against Tennessee. A school spokesman confirmed its validity to The State, saying it’s a nearly two-year-old outtake.

Muschamp has at times been known for his colorful language on the sidelines and occasionally in press conferences, though that makes him no different than nearly every other coach in the sport.

It is not clear how the video got out, but it’s reasonable to expect the staff never expected the outtake to see the light of day.
