USC O Lineman Quits Team

Starting offensive guard Heath Batchelor will drop out of school to deal with medical issues, USC coach Steve Spurrier announced tonight.

This is not good news for the offensive line but I feel this will make the line stronger.

Spurrier has no interest in UT job

Spurrier: No interest in Tennessee job

Did anyone think we would seriously leave for the UT job?

USC-Arkansas game on PPV

Seems this campaign worked because-

"The South Carolina - Arkansas football game, scheduled for Saturday, November 8 at Williams-Brice Stadium, will be available throughout the Palmetto State on a pay-per-view basis and throughout the remainder of the country as part of ESPN's GamePlan package, Athletics Director Eric Hyman announced tonight."

More HERE. Congrats Gene Kizer, now quit crying and support the Gamecocks.

Phil Fulmer Out! --- Is this Deja Vu?

UT fans must be thinking Deja Vu.......Last time USC beat UT in Columbia in 1992, the Halloween-day loss prompted Tennessee to fire Johnny Majors and promote Fulmer, who took over for Majors for the final three games before being named the head coach at the end of the season.


Now it seems losing to USC has yet again ousted a UT coach....

USC Tampa bound?

The State has a good look at how the SEC bowl picture could break down and the different scenarios. Looks like as of right now and how most feel the season will shape out that USC will be either going to the Outback bowl or Peach Bowl.

ESPN BOWL PROJECTION has Carolina slated to go to the Outback bowl.
CBS Sports has SC going to play Texas in the Cotton Bowl!

Where do you think SC will end up?

Arkansas game time change still irks some fans

Gene Kizer, a USC fan from Charleston, is spearheading a protest of Hyman's decision, and has even launched a web site devoted to the effort: www.HorribleDecisionToChangeArkansasGameTime.com

USC OG Out for Season

After the USC win vs. UT it was stated that offensive guard Lemuel Jeanpierre will be out for the remainder of the year due to a knee injury on the crazy Garcia INT play that resulted in 3 SC players being hurt. The other two players should be fine. I hate to see anyone on our O line go down as this group needs lots of strong bodies. LOHD wishes Lemul the best as he is a junior and we need him back in 09!

Spurrier Post Game Quote

"I can't remember a time I won a game punting eight times," Spurrier said.

We will take them anyway we can get them!
