Keep it coming

The Gamecocks (10-6, 0-3 SEC) have now lost three straight games by a combined 96 points, and four in a row by 112.

We should have gave Dave a 5 year extention, come on Hyman. Maybe we should double the prices for season basketball tickets.

Time for a new coach and a new AD.

Only 2 ACC schools, looks like the Big East has moved up in the world, Also 4 schools from the SEC east. The big question is where is Clemson and Willie Korn?

What is more likely to be spotted at Wal-Mart in Lancaster

Jean shorts or complete sweat suit.

No Korn and now this...

Could this spell the end to the Byrnes H.S. dynasty? Will B Martin be able to swallow this recent news? No Korn to guide them and now this…..Bobby Bentley is to be the next coach at PC.

The Spartanburg paper said late Monday night that the Byrnes football coach has accepted the same position at Presbyterian College. A news conference is tentatively set for Wednesday morning on the Clinton campus, where Bentley will be announced as the head coach.

The job was vacated by Tommy Spangler earlier this month, as he took a defensive coordinator's position at Louisiana Tech.

Bentley has spent his entire coaching career at Byrnes and led the Rebels to four state championships. He has compiled a 106-51 record in 13 seasons at the school and built quite a program in the Duncan area that reloads and "recruits."

This is good news for Presbyterian College, which began a transition to Division I status and agreed to join the Big South Conference earlier this year. As the Blue Hose move toward Division I status, they will play a conference schedule during the 2008-09 school year, but those games will not count toward the league's standings or championships.

The Blue Hose won't be eligible for conference or NCAA championships until 2011.
Look out for the Blue Hose in ’11 but chances are Bentley will be gone by then and off to a bigger school.

Any thoughts???

A little more on SC Recruiting...

I know some may be growing tired of reading about this subject but it could shape up to be a great year for SC football. Spurrier and Co. are in the process of laying a great foundation for SC football. So here is some more news...

Carlos Dunlap, DE -- rated by everyone in the Top 5 to 10 in the country and listed by most as the number 1 or 2 DE in the nation. Carlos Dunlap Jr. (6-6, 245) of Fort Dorchester canceled a visit to Tennessee (but he may end up visiting at some point) this past weekend and will choose either USC or Florida, his coach said Sunday according to The State paper. I feel our "playing card" in this battle for top talent is 'playing time.' Dunlap could come to SC and be a immediate factor for our defense where if he goes to UF or UT he may have to wait a bit to showcase his talent on the field.

Other news --- Seems Korn might have some competition...

Junior quarterback Jon Richt (6-2, 205) of Athens, Ga., son of Georgia coach Mark Richt, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution last week he strongly favors Clemson. The Tigers offered in camp last summer.

Any thoughts?

Which WR would you choose?

Alright let's imagine you were in charge of drafting for your favorite NFL team and you had to choose a WR (also had to rank them).

Out of this list of the 'highly' regarded WR's that are going pro, which would you chose for your team? And how would you rank these guys? Is there a 'sleeper' out there that I am missing from this list that needs to be on the list?

-Dwayne Bowe of LSU
-Tennessee's Robert Meachem
-Georgia Tech's Calvin Johnson
-Southern California's Dwayne Jarrett
-Ohio State's Ted Ginn Jr.
-SC's Sidney Rice

Happy MLK Day !

Good news for Boz and Co.....

Good news for Boz....who was seen driving a golf cart around during the past football season. Don't ask.....but it looks like it will remain legal to drive golf carts around next season. I know everyone was worried....

The SC House has overridden its first veto of the new session that started this past Tuesday, approving a bill that allows golf carts to be driven on Richland County roads.

The bill, sponsored by Rep. Todd Rutherford, D-Richland, would allow tailgaters at Williams-Brice Stadium, for instance, to drive a golf cart on main roads within a half mile of the stadium. The carts would be required to use head and tail lights for night driving.

Gov. Mark Sanford vetoed the bill, which only applies to Richland County, in October.
If the Senate follows suit, the bill will become law over Sanford's objection.
