news from outside of the football stadium

So there is a new bar opening behind Carolina Walk called the The Loose Caboose, it is suppose to open in late May or early June. They are going to have a front patio and back deck with plenty of HDTV's to watch the games on gameday as well as live music every saturday during the season. They are going to make a kiling.

Humane society is the devil

So the story goes like this, Bailey figured out how to get out of the fence yesterday. One of my neighbors said that Crazy Mary, mental patient that wonders the streets of rosewood had let bailey out of the fence. So any way somebody calls animal control to come pick bailey up because he is running the streets causing chaos. Which I find hard to believe since bailey pretty much sleeps 20 hours a day. So I go to the humane society, where they charged me 50 bucks to pick him up for some kind of boarding fee for 2 hours of being in a cage. Then they slap me with a 150 fine for letting my dog run free in the city limits. I asked them where they found him at, in my yard. The Columbia humane society is a piece of shit; I wouldn’t get a dog if you live in Richland County.

You have to have your dog registered with the city, which cost 10 bucks a year.
You have to have you dog tagged with microchip, which cost 20 bucks.
You have to have your dog neutered or spayed, if not fines of up to 250 dollars if caught by the humane society. (Unless you have a license to bread your dog)

I Plus the redneck women that work there were rude, fat and stupid. It took me almost an hour to pick up Bailey because they misplaced him in a one of the cages. I could hear him barking from a mile away.

Damn you Columbia humane society.

USC suffers a setback in the polls...

After losing two of three at Ole Miss this past weekend, the University of South Carolina fell from fourth to ninth in this week's Baseball America poll released Monday.

Vanderbilt (35-8) remains atop the poll, followed by a pair of Atlantic Coast Conference teams -- Florida State (37-6) and Virginia (34-9). Clemson University (26-13) is No. 19. Ole Miss (27-15) moved up one spot from 24th to 23rd.

USC (31-10) returns to action Tuesday, playing host to Davidson (17-24).

SOS is everywhere

As reported on the news, Kenny Chensey brought Steve up on stage to sing him Happy Birthday to him on Friday at the Colonial Center. After the song there was a mixture of yells and boo's. Spurrier grabs the microphone and says, "Clemson this is only the beginning."

You got to love Spurrier, and how in his short career at Carolina, he has grown to hate Clemson just like the rest of Gamecock nation.

You know there isn't a damn thing to do in your State

When you have over 92,000 at a spring game.

God lord Alabama

damn Nick Saten

Beer law follow-up...

LOHD wrote about this issue recently and wanted to follow up on the story. It looks like craft beer is on its way. A bill that would increase the state's alcohol-by-weight ceiling from 5 percent to 14 percent made it through its last step in the state House. It had a good bit of legislative momentum. But now it's on the Gov's desk, which means it's as good as law.

Estimates put the timeline for your access to these high-gravity beers at sometime this summer.

A good 'W' on the diamond...

South Carolina hit four solo home runs and behind a solid six-inning effort from starting pitcher Mike Cisco earned a 4-2 win over 13th ranked Clemson on Wednesday evening at Sarge Frye Field in front of 5,821 fans. USC is now 30-8 on the year; Clemson is 25-11 this season. Both teams will meet one more time on Wednesday, April 25 at Clemson.

The victory gives USC its first season series win over the Tigers since 2001 and levels Tanner's record against Clemson at 19-19 during his 11 years at USC.

Thoughts?

Spring Game review...

Now that the Gamecock faithful has had time to think about what took place this past weekend with the Spring Game...what are the thoughts of the LOHD readership concerning the performance of the football team? How did they look? Who performed well or who sucked?


As we know, the Black team won 14-7 over the Garnet squad in South Carolina's annual Garnet & Black Spring Game, held in front of a crowd of 35,153 at Williams-Brice Stadium this past Saturday.

Let's hear the reviews on how they did...

What is in a name?

This is a little news of the "strange"....A couple in Sweden has named their daughter Metallica. “It suits her,” says Karolina Tomaro, 27, the child’s mother.

Metallica has been baptized, but the Swedish National Tax Board refused to register the name, saying it was associated with both the rock group and the word “metal.”

What kind of country lets the government approve or reject names? Sweden.

In Sweden, parents must get their children’s names approved by the tax office, which is in charge of population registry and personal ID numbers, kind of like Social Security numbers. (AP)

First it is odd that they want to name their kid this but what is really strange is Sweden must approve the name of you child.....Thoughts?
