When Dave Odom announced his retirement, I quoted a certain ESPN talking head who stated the South Carolina job “probably” wasn’t a top-20 job, but it was still a good job. A few other experts felt the same way. A few others didn’t. Namely, some South Carolina fans who thought, of COURSE it’s a top-20 [...]
A couple media outlets are reporting that Virginia Commonwealth coach Anthony Grant, a possible candidate for the USC men’s basketball coaching job, is in line to get a new contract from VCU. Both the Richmond Times-Dispatch and The New York Times (in a blog entry posted Friday morning) report that VCU athletics director Norwood Teague [...]
The State reported in last Saturday’s paper – as did the Greenville News – that Odom set to being paid approximately $320,000 upon stepping down at the end of this season. Apparently this got lost in the mix with everything else going on, which is understandable, but it’s just coming to light for some people. [...]
Anthony Grant. Gregg Marshall. The sides are drawn. You’re either for one or the other. You could do a poll in the state this week and get as much of a response on “Grant or Marshall” as you could for “Clinton or Obama.” Well, what if South Carolina’s next men’s basketball coach is neither of [...]
So, I had an interesting end of the week. How ‘bout you? Covered a good game at Arkansas, got stuck in an airport because of weather, then covered the sudden retirement of a coach. Yup, typical 48 hours of work. So you can only imagine the range of emotions for the people inside the South [...]
Greetings from the Fairfield Inn somewhere close to Fayetteville, Ark. My name is Seth Emerson, and I am the traveling press contingent on the South Carolina men’s basketball team. Yeah that’s right, it’s just me, at least this trip. And probably the next one, to Kentucky. (But if you think one guy is weak, you [...]
South Carolina’s men’s basketball team may be struggling, but its point guard is gaining a lot of notice around the SEC. The sophomore from Chester currently ranks fourth in the league in scoring, with 19.1 points per game, is second in assists at 5.19 per game, and the runaway leader in steals with 3.31 per [...]
A few notes from South Carolina’s media availability on Friday, as it gets ready to play No. 8 Tennessee: – No change in the starting lineup from Wednesday’s Vanderbilt game. Senior Dwayne Day earned another start, es-pecially with the way he guarded Shan Foster, so his reward is getting to take Tennessee star Chris Lofton. [...]
Hey, remember the halcyon days of RPI numbers and quality losses, and what the South Carolina men’s basketball team needed to do to qualify for the NCAA tournament? Silly me. We’ll have no more talk of that at The Blog of Mea Culpa, at least until the Gamecocks get out of their current rut. And [...]
Well, if you’re only a college fan and the NFL playoffs don’t hold much interest for you (as a Redskins fan, I’m not in that group) then it’s time for you to officially transition into basketball. And if you’re a South Carolina fan, there’s plenty of games to keep an eye on today. Obviously, there’s [...]
