Today there are 82 days until kickoff. 82 used to be the 3rd most games coached by a USC coach. Jim Carlen holds that record, but he was passed last season by Steve Spurrier. Spurrier now holds the distinction of coaching the 3rd most games in South Carolina history, 90. He is also moving up […]

Today there are 83 days until kickoff. 83 represents the total number of yards Clemson gained through the air against USC last season. The Tiger faithful regaled us with stories of a new high flying offense that featured an aerial attack and a wunderkind freshman receiver. Then we were treated to hype surrounding their ‘genius’ […]

Today there are 86 days until kickoff. 86 means almost nothing in the Gamecock record books. 186, on the other hand, was the total number of yards gained by Tennessee last year. There was once a time when the Volunteer offense would grind out that many on the ground alone. The Vols had 151 through […]

Today there are 87 days until South Carolina Gamecocks kickoff their 2012 season. 87 is the number worn by Justice Cunningham. The senior tight end is originally from Pageland, SC. He is valued as much for his blocking as his catching ability. Over his South Carolina career, he has caught 26 passes for 254 yards. […]

Today there are 89 days until kickoff. 89 represents the most points scored by a South Carolina team in a single game. The Gamecocks defeated Welsh Neck Academy on October 6, 1903. Welsh Neck Academy later became Coker College for Women in 1908. They haven’t fielded a football team since. I wonder why.
