You could see this coming from a mile away. Members of the University of Alabama faculty senate have expressed their displeasure at the university canceling classes from Jan. 6-Jan. 8 for the BCS National Championship Game, when the No. 1 Crimson Tide faces [...]
We’d like to preface this post by saying that we’re still bitter over the 31-13 shellacking that the University of Tennessee administered to our founding editor’s beloathed (not a word) South Carolina Gamecocks earlier this year.
Sure, USC spotted the Volunteers 21 points off turnovers in [...]
Something tells us La. Gov. Bobby Jindal is just another pandering politician and doesn’t really care about football. After all, he had to get out front on the New Orleans Saints bandwagon, considering for a few games this year more than three of [...]
There are 34 bowl games this year, and we’re picking every damn one of them (probably with 60-70 percent success). You can follow the progress or join up and do battle with us through ESPN College Bowl Mania. We’re in “The League” and “[...]
Word of Mouth is changing the game. Whether its business or politics, advertising and marketing is not what is used to be just a few short years ago.

The University of South Carolina will face off against unranked Connecticut (7-5) of the Big East Conference in the Papajohns.com Bowl on January 2, 2010 in Birmingham, Alabama.
Kickoff is scheduled for 2:00 p.m., and the game will be televised nationally on ESPN.
It had been thought [...]
Here we go. With the conference championship games over, and only Army-Navy left on Dec. 12, bowl bids are going out hot and heavy. There are some things that were expected, some surprises and — oh man — Clemson totally got jobbed.
Wait, that just happened, right? Alabama dominated Florida? No late-game heroics from the Tebow child? The truly amazing thing is that this Crimson Tide team plays up to the level of the game. Quarterback Greg McElroy played above his head, and outshined the star [...]
YELLOW JACKETS COME BACK TO BEAT TIGERS, 39-34
Clemson came withing five points of a BCS bowl berth Saturday, but didn’t have enough to overpower No. 10 Georgia Tech in the ACC championship game.
A 15-yard touchdown with 1:20 left in the game gave Georgia Tech a gameId=293390228" [...]
After a decade of looking up at the Florida Gators, Alabama is back atop the SEC.
The Crimson Tide obliterated top-ranked Florida 32-13 in the SEC Championship game Saturday, earning a spot in the national title game and snapping the Gators’ 22-game win streak. They [...]
It is time once again to round up all the bloggers gracious enough to link to me this week. 
South Carolina football may be perpetually mediocre, but that hasn’t stopped the “Gamecock Nation” from reaching its tentacles all the way around the globe to the land of Long Duk Dong.
Check out this hilarious video of a bunch of Chinese kids getting into the [...]
As the various Southeastern Conference bowl scenarios shook out this week, head coach Steve Spurrier’s University of South Carolina Gamecocks fell from the middle of the pack to the worst bowl game on the SEC’s list (a.k.a. the Papajohns.com Bowl).
Bummer, huh?
For the Pitt [...]
SAUNDERS TWEETS DISAPPOINTMENT OVER NOT GOING TO MUSIC CITY BOWL
When it was announced on Wednesday that the University of South Carolina was a lock for the PapaJohns.com Bowl in Birmingham, Ala. on Jan. 2, some in Gamecock County were happy that [...]
A New York senator considers how the defense of marriage involves standing up for game shows that give away wives. This is a remarkably cogent summation of the vacuity of opposition to marriage equality.
Christmas has come early for our founding editor, who has been waiting for months (literally) to ridicule whatever crappy postseason bowl game the University of South Carolina football team winds up being invited to this year.
Poulan Weedeater Independence Bowl, anyone?
Nope. With its 7-5 record, even [...]
USC LIKELY HEADED TO PAPAJOHNS.COM BOWL ON JAN. 2
The news was all but confirmed Wednesday: the University of South Carolina will be going to the PapaJohns.com Bowl in Birmingham, Ala. on Jan. 2.
That decision is somewhat disappointing [...]
Head football coach Steve Spurrier came to South Carolina prior to the 2005 season promising SEC championships and BCS bowl bids, while visions of a 100,000-seat stadium danced in the heads of greedy Gamecock athleticrats.
Spurrier’s team finished that season 7-5, unranked with a middle-of-the-road bowl [...]
The Importantville Impeachers and Buenos Aires Narcissists battled to a 6-6 tie in Game Whatever of the seemingly interminable 2009 Impeachment Series – an ongoing battle necessitated by S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford’s repeated refusal to resign from his largely ceremonial office.
Sanford was caught earlier [...]
Never mind the fact that Clemson has utterly and completely dominated the “Rivalry In Name Only” that exists in the Palmetto State between its Tigers and the University of South Carolina Gamecocks – particular in recent years.
And never mind that USC is suffering through its [...]
Who would have guessed that some of the best smack talk of the 2009 college football season would be dispensed by a lanky, goofy-looking Latter Day Saint?
Surely not us …
Nonetheless we have quarterback Max Hall, who used a post-game press conference following Brigham Young University’s [...]
Bowling anyone?
Ummm … yeah.
There’s no doubt that the University of South Carolina’s football team improved its bowl positioning Saturday by virtue of its 34-17 blowout win over Clemson … but where will South Carolina wind up playing its final game of the 2009 season?
And [...]
GAMECOCKS BEAT TIGERS TO HALT SERIES DOMINANCE
It was the game that football fans across South Carolina had been waiting for all season: the Palmetto Bowl. And for the University of South Carolina faithful, it didn’t disappoint, as the Gamecocks routed No. 18 Clemson, gameId=293322579" title="South Carolina" [...]
