Does your face need some cleaning up???!!!
In addition to trimming, edging is even more important. Keeping a clean-shaven straight line above the adam's apple is very important in keeping a neat, well-kept look. One would also want to keep a trimmed edge along the cheek bone. Phillips Norelco makes a great product that is inexpensive and will do the job in maintaining a beard. Go buy one, put it to use and your lady friend will be much appreciative.

No Grease for Captain Munnerlyn
Spurrier and his staff were tied in knots this past season trying to figure out why Captain Munnerlyn seemed to cramp up late in games. Unable to put a finger on it, they decided to ship him to Chicago this summer for a full workup.
The verdict: Grease.
“Embarrassing to say, we as coaches have not taught him how to eat properly,” Spurrier said. “They checked him out and said, “You need to stop eating fried food all the time.’“Hopefully Captain will eat the way we ask him to eat.”
So there you have it folks....no more grease-y food for Captain and no more trips to Church's Chicken and Mrs. Peachez will not be happy to hear this!

Gamecock coach lands his first commitment
Lakeem Jackson, a 6-foot-5, 215-pound swingman from Arden, N.C., has committed to USC over Clemson University, Marquette, Georgia Tech and Western Kentucky. Jackson, who will be part of Horn's 2009 recruiting class, averaged 15 points, seven rebounds and three assists this past season.
Anybody heard anything on this kid? Well it is good to see Horn working the recruiting circuit and keep reeling them in!
Notes from Steve Spurrier's Press Conference Today
Extracted comments Spurrier made that LOHD deems worthy of repeating -
- Tommy Beecher right now is getting his shot to be the lead QB in the Spurrier system. Nothing news worthy here as Gamecock nation truly is waiting to see what August 15th brings. That is the day Garcia is eligible to come back....
- Spurrier is the play caller and offensive coordinator; even plans to spend more time with the quarterbacks and offense....that ends that story.
- "Dusty Lindsey is ready to go," which is good news for the linebacking core of the defense.
- I will end with his reflect on building of the USC program; gotta love how he speaks the truth, no sugar coating ---
"We knew there was some building to do.........We have got a good nucleus of young players; we are still not a whole bunch of seniors. We have had five guys drafted in the last three years. Did you know that? So we are not going to win a lot of SEC (Championships) with one or two guys drafted every year...........We didn't have that big recruiting class until the third (class) and that was because we won our last three games. That was certainly helpful. We didn't win our last three last year. Lost a bunch of them at the end there. That's just the way it happened. We are where we are but we can get out of it. We can get out of it with a little better coaching and a little bit better play. We can get out of it." "We know why we lost a lot of games. We will try our best as coaches to show how we lost a lot of games. It wasn't all the players fault. It's coaches, me, some other guys, if we would have made some better calls, taught this defense or that run play a little bit better, but it happened and there is nothing we can do about it instead try to learn why and hopefully we can show our guys why we failed in some of those close games. We'll try to do that."
Game 9 predictions - USC beats Tennessee / FSU stuns Clemson
Here is their prediction for both schools in game 9-http://www.charleston.net/news/2008/jul/17/gamecocks_should_be_able_topple_vols47802/
So after 9 games 'post & courier' predictions will have Clemson sitting at 7-2 and Univ of South Carolina sitting at 7-2. If this holds to be true then Tommy is on the hot seat after 9 games.

Baby Bowden facing the question
Again it is of the opinion of the LOHD writers that Clemson will again take what we feel is a highly talented team and find a way to lose. Tommy is a coach much like Holtz - plays not to lose rather than plays to win. If you know college football then you know what I mean by that statement. It is what Clemson football, in the last 10 years, is known for - losing games they are suppose to win and choking rather than stepping up to win. ACC is weak, CU has a cake schedule so why won't the stars align in 08? LOHD puts the blame squarely at the feet of Bowden.
Our pal at the Garnet & Black website found this article that says basically the same thing...that for Tommy it is time to "put up or shut up."

Gamecocks and Clemson predicted to lose Game 8
The crystal ball down in Charleston is showing that Clemson will lose a nail-bitter to Boston College and that LSU will win again versus USC. Do you agree?
Here is their prediction for both schools in game 8-http://www.charleston.net/news/2008/jul/15/bc_continues_frustrate_tigers47648/
So after 8 games these predictions will have Clemson sitting at 7-1 and Univ of South Carolina sitting at 6-2.
