The NCAA Selection Committee, in a display of profound indifference, striking laziness or complete incompetence, has decided to send Clemson to Columbia as the #2 seed. Like most fans (on both sides) I hate this, and I despise the committee for their opaque process that created this mess. First, some history. South Carolina faces Clemson […]

South Carolina didn't clinch their regional while in Hoover, and there has been talk that they could lose it to Arkansas. Early on Saturday the twitterverse consensus was that an Arkansas win over LSU would move the Columbia Regional to Fayetteville. The rationale was that Arkansas's RPI would move up into the 20s which coupled […]

Hoover wasn't kind to the Gamecocks again this year. After putting themselves in an early 3-0 hole, Carolina clawed back to tie the game at 3. They created many opportunities to score more runs, but as in the last few games there weren't enough clutch hits. It seems Carolina has fizzled down the stretch losing […]

The SEC tournament has a new format, but the Gamecocks are having a very familiar experience. In Carolina's first game of the 2013 tournament they got off to a rough start and ended up in the losers' bracket. Nolan Belcher clearly didn't have his best stuff and he didn't get enough run support to overcome […]

Carolina starts the SEC tournament tonight against Mississippi State. You may recall that the Gamecocks just played a three game set against the Bulldogs and lost two of three. Tonight’s game will be on CSS or ESPN3 and will start 30 minutes after the Vandy – Texas A&M game concludes. The Dores and Aggies play […]

South Carolina dominated Georgia this weekend and won by scores of 7-2, 7-1 and 8-3. The Gamecocks appear to be putting all the pieces together at the right time. Starting pitching was excellent all three days, and the bullpen continues its late surge. Adam Westmoreland and Tyler Webb continue to pitch like All-SEC pitchers, and […]

Here is the reaction from the graduate assistants for the South Carolina Gamecocks football team after getting the email from quarterbacks coach G.A. Mangus about losing out on Drew Barker…. Alright, now that the frustration is out….time to move on.

Somewhere we missed that former South Carolina standout Eric Norwood was exploring his options in the Arena Football League. He recently signed a one-year contract with the San Jose SaberCats. We knew last season, Norwood played for the Virginia Destroyers of the United Football League and seemed to be doing well since his Panther playing days […]

If you can accurately categorize this Carolina baseball team let us know because we can’t. This team lost to Gardner-Webb (RPI 165) on Tuesday and then went to LSU (#2) and took two of three from them. Needless to say the weekend more than made up for the midweek. More good news? There’s no midweek […]

It’s been a season of sweeps. Excluding a season opening series win over Missouri, USC has either swept or been swept. They’ve been swept by Arkansas and Florida, but they’ve swept Texas A&M, Tennessee, a now, Kentucky. The Wildcats were a Top 20 team before the sweep. Carolina trailed in all three games but responded […]

The University of South Carolina did the right thing when they rewarded women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley a contract extension. Staley will receive a three-year extension that will keep her happy until around the 2018-19 season. She will also get a 125,000 dollar raise and now is in that 850k range which makes her one of the highest […]

Thanks Clemson for the recent rash of vandalism both at USC and in a hotel room by your beloved DeAndre Hopkins. It appears Mr. Hopkins does not understand how to act in a hotel room. This too brings unwanted attention to Clemson. Along with this, someone decided painting a Tiger Paw on the field at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia […]
