  1. Thoughts after 4 games

    The regression of our OL is baffling to me. Blown assignments and bad technique more common than last year. Wolfie's OL at Kentucky looked much better than ours, I have to say. Luke's second half was his best half throwing as a Gamecock, IMO. Even on both fourth-down throws in the second...
  2. 10,000 miles

    Oh no doubt. But still. We had our first really big fall storm come through Friday through today, so I went out Thursday and went for my longest single-track ride of the summer - almost 13 miles, that ended in a big climb over the mountain then downhill to home … and I was THRASHED. Absolutely...
  3. From SDS: Late bloomer Josh Vann settling into role as Gamecocks' No. 1 receiver

  4. The Lost Colony

    I've been going to the Outer Banks pretty much every summer since I was 6 months old, and the legend of the Lost Colony is still as steeped in mystery as it was when I was a kid. Awesome new NPR story about it today highlights one of the most enduring mysteries of the colonial age...
  5. Almost 40 years ...

    I just was thinking about how I am approaching 40 years as a Gamecock fan, having been dropped off on campus in August 1983 ... hard to believe. Have certainly had plenty of heartbreak, plenty of mediocrity, but also plenty of incredible moments, both in Willy B and remotely. I was trying to...
  6. Defensive front 7

    BEASTS. ECU was clearly unable to solve those guys ... huge shout out to Damani, Brad Johnson, JJ and Jabari especially. what a game they had!
  7. Josh Vann

    The fumble in the end zone - it was a helluva two-punch set of hits to cause it - and the called-back TD because of the bobble notwithstanding Josh Vann is a different player. We we were wondering who would step up as the go-to guy and after two games at least, it is him. His huge catch to set...
  8. The stupid penalties

    Another game full of self-inflicted wounds, but Cam Smith stands out. So clearly our best corner, and also so clearly a huge liability because of his inability to play with focus and smarts.
  9. Carolina Memories: Gone But Not Forgotten

    The Capitol! Primo 24-hour drunken eats!
  10. Carolina Memories: Gone But Not Forgotten

    Greenstreets in 5 Points! Notable on this bill: Tootie & The Joneses, which places this in the mid-late '80s. at that time, there were two dominant local bands made up of USC students: Hootie and Tootie. A buddy of mine was the drummer in Tootie.
  11. Carolina Memories: Gone But Not Forgotten

    Pappy's was another spot right across from the Towers in the `1980s. Pappy was a great guy and sponsored  our intramural softball team, Pappy's gophers. A former career Navy man, he was notoriously rough on anyone trying to pass off a fake ID; he collected them and pinned them to his kitchen...
  12. Carolina Memories: Gone But Not Forgotten

    If you lived here, these sight of these blocks will take you back!
  13. Carolina Memories: Gone But Not Forgotten

    Post your pix, recollections, or stories of "The Lost Carolina" here!  Here's a pic from 1980 I found online, 3 years before I moved in to Douglas, of the crucial real estate right across the street; all are gone now. 7-11, The Big Bird (and DSP), and Stuffy's...
  14. From SDS: Is Zeb Noland going to be more than a 1-week wonder? Either way, he deserves praise

  15. SEC Power Rankings after Week 1 games

    https://www.aseaofblue.com/2021/9/8/22661718/sec-football-power-rankings-grades-week-2-georgia-bulldogs-alabama-tide 11. South Carolina Gamecocks Shutouts get you extra credit, even against the FCS. You probably won’t get many of these (if any more at all) this season, but you’re in the...
  16. Pick one area you want to see improvement from this week, and why

    Mine would be the OL. They were lackluster last week IMO, and this week's competition is much more stout.
