South Carolina just release that USC will open the season with back to back Thursday night games for the 2008 season, NC state on August 28th and the following Thursday @ Vandy.

What do you think about that?

DYK...USC was picked to finish fourth in the East for the sixth straight year -- and eight times since joining the league in 1992. And USC has never been picked to finish higher than third -- or finished higher than second.

OH South Carolina. Just under the radar are the Gamecocks. A half a step above Kentucky and Vandy but always under the big three. In 2006, if you take away a couple of plays, you have a young college football team that almost beat Florida (tipped extra point), Tennessee (dropped interception in end zone), Auburn (onside kick) and Arkansas (dropped pass) . It's true, whether the fans are willing to admit it, makes no difference. The 2006 Gamecocks defense couldn't stop a 3rd and 15 in the fourth quarter against a tough SEC foe, if their life depended on it. The offensive line looked like a rubik's cube for most of the season, searching for a winning combination. The 2006 team was good but in the end, a team of missed opportunities including dropped touchdown passes, interceptions and an inexperienced defense that gave up too many big plays.
