Well, you knew it had to happen. The question was how soon it would happen, and it probably came a lot earlier than most expected.
Darrin Horn will not finish his career as South Carolina’s coach undefeated, thanks to Friday night’s loss at the College of Charleston. It’s not a shock – yours truly predicted it [...]
Dominique Archie, if you’re reading this, allow me to apologize. This morning you parked in the main lot behind the basketball practice facility, and were waiting to cross the street to get to practice.
But you had unfortunate timing, as there were hundreds of runners blocking your path for what must have been a long stretch. [...]
The Gamecocks will practice early Thursday morning so players who live close enough can head home for Thanksgiving meal.
Coach Darrin Horn said three or four players were coming to his house. Mitchell Carter, who is from Milwaukee, is among them.

I’ve seen a few people complain that they have yet to hear the dulcet radio tones of Mike Morgan this season, and fretting about the future. Allow me to clear that up.
Morgan hasn’t left the radio booth permanently, he just did some TV work for SportSouth, which broadcasted the first four games. Morgan will be doing the next three games (at College [...]
Well, time for a little late-night, postgame blogging. The fighting Gamecocks dispatched with Gardner-Webb Tuesday night, and tell me if you haven’t heard this rundown before:

The guess here is Darrin Horn is having his welcome-to-South Carolina basketball moment.
Four of them, in fact.
In the months after he was hired, Horn kept saying that what stood out to him about USC was the passion of the fans. Even though he had yet to coach a home game, it was easy to see [...]
Despite the genuine excitement over a new coach, attendance for South Carolina’s first two official men’s basketball games has actually decreased from last season. That may have had to do with the first two being sandwiched around the football team’s visit to Florida.
The announced crowd for the opener against Jacksonville State was 11,439, followed by [...]
I’m in a daily race with Emily Feeney, USC’s new sports information director for men’s basketball, for new stats and notes. Hey, with the Gamecocks’ early-season schedule, it may be the only drama we have around here for awhile.
Here’s a few more:

It’s not often that you sit down with a college athlete and discuss the sub-prime mortgage crisis, the economy and John McCain, but that’s what I did this morning with USC basketball player Branden Conrad.
