A city view is expected to be enjoyed by fans and players at the new baseball field. (Lindsay Semple/The State) We just got back touring USC’s new baseball stadium, or at least what’s up so far, and that’s only about 35 percent of the park, according to Ray Tanner. We’ll have extensive coverage in tomorrow’s [...]
OK, you can go ahead and blame me. Yes, on Friday a story under my byline proclaimed the turnaround of the USC baseball team. Yes, it elucidated how the Gamecocks were basically doing everything well. Yes, a national expert was quoted as saying the Gamecocks were playing so well they were going to have to [...]
And now on to part two of our long-running series, comprising two parts, concerning Darrin Horn’s thoughts on a multitude of matters. The new USC men’s basketball coach sat down for breakfast recently with several esteemed beat writers, and also me, to discuss several matters. What follows is more that was gleaned from that chat. [...]
Darrin Horn is trying his best to be seen and heard around the university these days. Everywhere you turn … He was at the Gamecock Gala Monday night at the Colonial Center, along with his coaching staff and players. He attended the ground-breaking for the new academic enrichment center on Friday afternoon. Turn on the [...]
And here I thought the recruitment saga of Bryan Narcisse was weird. Thursday night’s news that Darius Morrow would not be coming to South Carolina came out of left field. The post player out of Atlanta had seemed happy every step of the way with his commitment, first when Dave Odom recruited him and then [...]

For those of you who were wondering, yes the web site http://www.letsshowcorso.com is still up and running. I was forced to check into this when … sigh … Lee Corso’s name was brought up again Monday with Steve Spurrier. There are two names that no matter what, it seems you can’t escape when you cover [...]
There might be no more puzzling turns in recruiting than what happened with North Augusta’s Bryan Narcisse. For those of you who aren’t caught up, a quick review: – Narcisse, a 6-foot-7 swingman, signed last fall with Western Kentucky, one of three recruits in what turned out to be coach Darrin Horn’s last class at [...]
It was a relatively short practice Friday, cut short well under two hours. That led to the natural question: Was Steve Spurrier high-tailing it back to Augusta? “Nah,” Spurrier said. “Thursday’s the only day. That’s plenty.” Evidently. Not only did Spurrier have time at The Masters to hang out with Stephen Garcia’s family, but he [...]
Yes, Joseph “Joe” Person is away chasing Tiger, and possibly Elin, around Augusta National. So you faithful spring football practice blog fans, each and every three of you, are stuck with me. It shouldn’t be too bad, because after all, it’s only the spring. To wit, of the first three questions Steve Spurrier took on [...]
