So here we are, on the eve of the South Carolina football team finally opening its season. Excited? I bet you are. Me, I’ll just have be happy to have something real to write about.
(And trust me, seeing Steve Spurrier nearly every day, he’s ready to get some better questions from us — and [...]
Continuing our lead-up to the opener, and wrapping up the preseason, we offer the most overlooked players as camp breaks:
1. LB Rodney Paulk: Jasper Brinkley gets all the attention as the star middle linebacker. But Paulk, a sophomore from Richland Northeast High, has a chance to emerge this season, especially if opposing teams spend too [...]
Reports are that the South Carolina football team will play a real game Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium. According to the team spokesman, it will count in the stadings. Such an occasion cannot happen soon enough.
After a month of preseason chatter, much of it speculative and even more of it meaningless, we finally have a set [...]
South Carolina fans can be excused Friday for wanting to bury their heads in their hands, and cover their ears for eight days until the football season opener. “What’s next?” seems to be the collective sigh.
Well Gamecock fans, if it makes you feel any better, you’re not alone.
I have a friend – no, really [...]
If you’re like me – and for your sake, I hope you’re not – by now you’re deep in preparation for three or four fantasy football drafts. Oh, you said this would be the year you only did one league. Then your office friend Rick pleaded he needed one more guy for an even number, [...]
I just got in from South Carolina’s scrimmage, and boy are my fingers tired from scribbling down copious notes that beg for detailed analysis. Let’s start with the skeleton drills.

It’s usually at this point of preseason practice that freshmen hit the wall, start falling down the depth chart and the redshirts get dug out of the equipment closet.
Well not so much, as far as the South Carolina football team is concerned.
Last February, Gamecock fans were in a tizzy over their team’s nationally-ranked signing [...]
If there were more room in the headline box, I would call this blog entry “Don’t you have something better to do, Part II.”
Last week it was a few thousand hardy fans showing up for the South Carolina football team’s opening practice. This week? Well it was a scrimmage, so clearly the attendance [...]
Obviously, all the attention this week is on Steve Spurrier, the football team and the worry that if another recruit is denied entry, South Carolina football fans will be denied a fourth year of Spurrier coaching their team.
But when it comes to academics, the men’s basketball team is the bigger worry. Next year, the clock [...]
You know, I used to think there was a lot to do in Columbia on a Saturday night: Take in a movie, have a good dinner, drink a few at a fine establishment, etc.
Well apparently I was wrong. There’s no other explanation for what I saw at the South Carolina football team’s opening practice on [...]
