LOHD dislikes Bart Wright.....for the record

Bart Wright, sports writer for the Greenville News, is not on our favorite list here at LOHD...well let's be honest here....we just don't like the guy. He has such a narrow view of clemson and usc sports that it is ridiculous. He thinks Clemson can do no wrong and Tommy is "half-god." He feels USC is worthless and the real sad part of all this is the Greenville News allows him to write such bias/unbalanced columns each week. In my many years reading his columns, I have only agreed with one column he wrote and it was about how Tommy Bowden is not the right coach to lead klempson to a BCS title (true).

I will stop there....check this crap out on what he writes today -

Game 3 predictions for USC/Klempson

Alright so by now you have seen that LOHD (here & here) is covering the predictions for the USC and Klempson games in 08. 'The Post and Courier' has already predicted game 1 and 2.

So far they have Carolina winning against NC State 18-10 and Klempson beating 'bama 27-20 in Game 1. Then in Game 2, the paper predicts a win for SC v Vandy by the score of 23-9. Klempson is predicted to win vs. Citadel 45-17.
So according to their predictions both are 2-0 heading into game 3....

Willy B chosen as 25th tuff-est place to play football

The EA Sports folks have put together a list of the "25 toughest stadiums" in college football as they get ready for Tuesday's release of NCAA Football 09. We here are glad to see Willy B holding its' spot at #25...last here they were at the same spot (click here for last year's report).

Klempson was again higher this year which is BS but I will not go there today. Do take note that the top two stadiums -- and three of the top five -- are SEC venues. Oh, eight of the 12 SEC stadiums made the cut.

LOHD's Pick 4 President is not a finalist

I demand a re-count.....there had to be a "hanging chad" there somewhere....

Well, it seems the LOHD choice - Andy Card - to be the next president of THE University of South Carolina didn't pan out. It seems some other people had different objectives - HERE - and didn't listen to LOHD.

Media outlets and the univeristy are reporting it is now down to three people --- Janie M. Fouke, Harris Pastides and Geri Hockfield Malandra.

So now the question is "who ya pick'n?"
Decision is suppose to be made on Friday by the big bad board of trustees but let's hear your choice.....good luck to all 3 in their quest to replace Andrew Sorensen.

LOHD's second pick --- I say keep in in the family and go with Harris Pastides, vice president for research and health sciences at USC.

USC Predictions starting to flow in

With 50ish days until the start of college football, now is the time where you will begin to see more and more predictions/reviews/etc.

Seems 'The Post and Courier' has begun to analyze each of the upcoming games for USC and Klempson. To me it is great to see a paper in SC doing this....I wish the Gville News and The State were so bold.

USC Rumor Mill

Phil Kornblut pens in a article for PalmettoSports.com the following yesterday-

Six USC Signees Waiting

Six USC signees in the class of 2008 did not report with the rest of the class for Summer Session II Tuesday because they have not yet met the academic or qualifying requirements. According to a source familiar with the situation, it is highly unlikely DE Chaz Sutton and OL Elliott Williams will make it in to school. Sutton said Tuesday if he does not get in to USC, he will enroll at Fork Union Prep, VA for the semster with plans to enroll at USC in January. The source said DE Ronald Byrd and DB Darrell Simmons are 50-50 at best for getting in to USC. Junior college DL Jarriel King has the best chance to make it in of those who are questionable. King is taking a math class he needs for admission to USC. The sixth signee, WR Tori Childers, said Tuesday he plans to enroll at summer school shortly after some paper work is cleared up.
