Dreams of BCS are beginning to invade my sleep as kickoff of Gamecocks football is not just 4 days away. South Carolina did many things well last season, but on several occassions they turned the ball over too many times. On four seperate occasions USC turned the ball over four times in a game. Not […]

Can you begin to feel it? Gamecocks football is now just 5 days away until kickoff of the 2012 season. 5 is the record for receiving touchdowns in a game. In 2006, Sidney Rice torched poor Florida Atlantic for 5 TDs. On the day Rice had 9 receptions for 161 yards, all from Syvelle Newton. Rice […]

All indications from Fall practice are that Marcus Lattimore’s knee is healthy, and he is ready to go. He will be the featured running back as long as he stays healthy. Before he was injured many fans questioned his high volume of carries. Expect those concerns to re-surface this season. Are they justified?

Football in the State of South Carolina is about to be taken to a new level as Gamecocks football kicks off in just six days. 6 was the most sacks South Carolina had in a game. They accomplished the feat twice. The first time was against Vanderbilt. The Commodores offense was so overwhelmed they threw […]

There’s one week until Carolina football. In 7 days, we kickoff. On November 10, 1984, 5th ranked South Carolina intercepted 11th ranked Florida State 7 times in Columbia en route to a 38-26 win. FSU finished the year a respectable 7-3-2 while South Carolina finished 10-2, its best record to that point. The 7 interceptions […]

Mercifully, there are only 8 days left until kickoff. 8 is the fewest number of yards given up by the Gamecocks in a game. The opponent: Clemson. On October 21, 1943 South Carolina allowed 8 yards rushing and not a single yard through the air. With the evolution of offense it is safe to say […]

Steve Spurrier is excited as the Gamecocks are now just 9 days away until kickoff. 9 is the final ranking of South Carolina in last season’s AP Poll. The Gamecocks actually finished higher at 8 in the Coaches’ Poll. The minor disparity isn’t due to a disagreement among voters. Southern Cal wasn’t allowed in the Coaches’ […]

South Carolina football is now just 11 days away as the start of the football season is nearing. What is special about 11? 11 is the USC record for wins in a season. Careful observers may remember that this happened last year in spite of a mid season change in quarterback and the loss of Marcus Lattimore. […]

It is great to be a fan of the Gamecocks as the South Carolina football team has landed in the Associated Press Top 25 as the No. 9 team. This is deja vu for USC as they were also No. 9 in the USA Today/coaches’ poll. Another thing to be proud of is the fact that the Gamecocks have been in the Top […]
