USC TO FACE UCONN IN PAPJOHNS.COM BOWL, CLEMSON GETS KENTUCKY IN MUSIC CITY BOWL
The University of South Carolina already knew they were headed to the PapaJohns.com Bowl next month, but now they have an opponent. And arch-rival Clemson, who came within five points of winning the ACC [...]
It is time once again to round up all the bloggers gracious enough to link to me this week. 
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The University of South Carolina’s surprise 34-17 drubbing of arch-rival Clemson was replete with story lines … here are just a few that we selected for your edification.
HERE, KITTY KITTY - South Carolina ran its “Wildcat” (err, “Wildcock”) formation on just one series Saturday, [...]
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, [...]
The University of South Carolina and arch-rival Clemson square off on the football field for the 107th time on Saturday, a series that has been dominated by the agriculturally-inclined institution from the Upstate.
First played in 1896, the Gamecocks and Tigers have met every year since 1909 [...]
At some point during the third quarter of the University of South Carolina’s loss to Arkansas a few weeks back, Sic Willie picked up his four-month-old daughter, Johanna, and informed her that she might be better off not becoming a Gamecock fan.
“Why?” her little [...]
6-YEAR-OLD PRODIGY LEVELS OPPOSITION
Years of mediocre football seasons at the University of South Carolina can be blamed on a few things, not the least of which has been recruiting.
Sure, the Gamecock coaching staff can always land a few high school standouts that turn into college stars, but consistently putting together [...]
Since our founding editor has for all intents and purposes checked out for the Thanksgiving holidays – a time he typically spends penning his annual “Book(let) of Lamentations” over the status of the University of South Carolina’s football program – we figured we could [...]
next week, my beloved alma mater the University of South Carolina faces that accursed farmer college across state, Clemson University. We have stumbled in late season, but skinning a tiger would more than make up for it. Whatever happens, win or lose, one thing remains certain--we have [...] 
There’s no college football game being played at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, S.C. this weekend. And even if there was, it would no doubt result in yet another University of South Carolina loss.
So why not use USC’s bye week to check out one of the Southeast’s [...]
Vandals with spray paint cans broke into Williams-Brice Stadium on the University of South Carolina campus Tuesday night and put some “orange in the end zone,” mimicking the catchphrase of arch-rival Clemson University’s radio announcer.
The story of the vandalism – which had been widely-discussed on college [...]
An audit of the Palmetto State’s controversial “endowed chairs” program – which is nothing but a glorified higher ed slush fund when you get right down to it – has reportedly found that the University of South Carolina illegally matched private funds for its hydrogen [...]
After the University of South Carolina’s Halloween night loss to the University of Tennessee two weeks ago, we did a poll asking whether or not USC head football coach Steve Spurrier should be fired at the end of the 2009 season.
At the time, Spurrier still [...]
GAMECOCKS COME CLOSE TO TOPPLING TOP-RANKED GATORS IN COLUMBIA
For three quarters of football Saturday, it seemed as if the University of South Carolina could do the impossible: Knock off the unbeaten, No. 1 Florida Gators.
But, in the end, it was [...]
Clemson University spent more money traveling during the last fiscal year than any other state agency, racking up nearly $10 million in travel expenses according to a report released Friday by the S.C. Comptroller General’s Office.
As usual, the University of South Carolina ($8.9 million) and [...]
Sixteen points? Really?
Believe it or not, that’s the spread for No. 1 Florida’s visit to Williams-Brice Stadium this Saturday, where the Gators will take on a University of South Carolina team that’s in the middle of its fourth consecutive season-ending tailspin.
Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. [...]
In a visit that we’re pretty sure violated University policy regarding sexual predators being on campus, FITS founding editor Sic Willie somehow finagled an invitation to speak to a class of over eighty aspiring communications practitioners at the University of South Carolina’s College of [...]
Kathleen Parker, the S.C.-based conservative syndicated columnist, will speak at the University of South Carolina on Nov. 19.
Parker, whose columns appear in The State, has been invited by the School of Journalism and Mass Communications for its Buchheit Family Lecture Series.

We saw Aerosmith five years ago at whatever the hell it is they call the new University of South Carolina men’s basketball arena. It was honestly a helluva rock-n-roll show (although the acoustics of the place are awful), and we remember being particularly impressed by [...]
For the fourth consecutive year, the University of South Carolina’s football season is unraveling right in front of head coach Steve Spurrier’s eyes … only this time the dreaded season-ending “Orange Crush” had nothing to do with it.
This time, it was another “red storm rising.”
To the [...]
