Today there are 90 days until kickoff. 90 is the number of yards in the longest punt in Gamecocks history. One has to assume there was some strong win and / or a very long roll to accomplish such a feat, but we can’t be sure because the game happened in 1924 and there aren’t […]

South Carolina will play Auburn tonight in the SEC Tournament at 5:30 Eastern. CSS is carrying the game, just like last night. You should probably be able to get it in Columbia on Time Warner on channel 506 or 519. How’d They Get Here? We lost to Vandy 3-2 last night. They lost to Florida […]

Today there are 98 days until kick off. 98 is the number of yards of the longest punt return in South Carolina history. Generally, the rule is don’t field any punts inside your own 10 yard line, but thankfully for the Gamecocks Bobby Bryant didn’t listen. On October 8, 1966 Bobby Bryant set the record […]
