The two time defending national champions will play a three game series over the weekend in one of the nicest venues in the country.

So who is this Keshon Flores that claims a South Carolina football scholarship offer? In the Friday edition of the Spartanburg Herald-Journal, Todd Shansey wrote a interesting story on Spartanburg Methodist sophomore wrestler Keshon Flores.

What a novel idea? Keeping the second-longest consecuitively played rivalry game going but does it talk politics? Seems that is the case as the South Carolina Legislature has stepped in to ensure the rivalry does not fall to the wayside like others (see Texas v Texas A&M).
