Sending greetings and Hope from South Florida, that Springtime HAS arrived and is heading your way!

81 degrees, saw the first blossoms on my orange tree and the first single white bloom on my neighbor's Magnolia tree, yesterday. I understand they're revving things up in Daytona this afternoon.

I'm going to guess you Columbia folks will peak out the weekend after The Masters. But, I'm here to tell ya, it's here now, headin' your way AND ITS FEELS SOoooo GOOOOOOOOd!!!

Open the season with TCU, Nebraska, USC and Oregon with Shedeur at QB1. Wowzers. Good luck.

2024 4-Star RB Anthony Carrie, who I mentioned last week in the weekly recruiting wrap up, is set to return for a visit on Fri. March 17th. He's a stud with interest from pretty much every school in the southeast, and several others nationally, but the Gamecocks have done a good job of staying in constant contact here.

The Gamecocks were the first SEC school to extend an offer to the speedy, physical running back hailing from Virginia Tech Hokies territory in Southwestern Virginia.

And put the halftime show out there with it. Does anyone really pay attention anymore? I think those are things that no longer really spark interest because of the internet. It's much like parades, award shows and beauty pageants (which I have previously declared to be pointless). These things used to garner so much interest because the general public never got to see celebrities outside of movies, or hot girls from other states, or commercials where companies really tried hard. Now it's all old hat because you see these things daily if you want to. All those things ever had was novelty value (not real entertainment value) - and the novelty is gone.

I am guessing the home crowd should not be a factor. Hoping South Carolina stays with the aggression like they did in second half against Vanderbilt

Live updates from Founders Park on game three.

Mark Kingston made one change to his lineup, with the freshman Ethan Petry sliding in for Dylan Brewer.

Jack Mahoney is on the mound for the first time in 655 days.

I mean, you can get waxed or unwaxed dental floss. Cinnamon & unflavored but NO! .... toothpicks are wood flavor.
I use mesquite for beef & snapper, hickory for fowl & apple, for 'showing off.'

Is this an untapped market??? .................DUH???? ...... Like Yankee Candle???

Starting lineup the same as always. Tip coming at 4. Follow along and watch on the SEC Network. Gamecocks -16.5. Total 124.5.

Story from Founders Park updated with quotes from Mark Kingston, Noah Hall and Caleb Denny.

Live updates from game two, where the Gamecocks are going with the exact same starting nine as yesterday.

Noah Hall on the mound as the Saturday starter.

Former running back Duce Staley has been named running backs and assistant head coach. Former Gamecock running backs coach Thomas Brown has been named offensive coordinator.

I have no idea how this popped in my head today, but it's always worth visiting Coach Bennett's cats and dogs meltdown - he was relieved of his duties at the end of this season. He had a good run as a coach though. Won the Big South 4 times and was also Division II Coach of the Year when he coached Catawba. But man, a public meltdown like this, you know you're nearing the end. It's a classic through and through.

Anyone know why we have subject coach?

Muschamp the DC and Bobo the OC. Not sure what to think about that. I'd take Muschamp as DC before Bobo. He needs to coach rec ball.

The Saturn 1B will likely be removed at the Alabama Welcome center at Interstate 65 due to deterioration. Is it so much to ask for to maintain important part of history. The Saturn !B was part of the building blocks and development of the early United States exploration into space. The U.S early space accomplishments help put this country on a stage by itself as a world leader. I think all Americans can agree to be proud of that piece of history and yet Alabama just watch through out the years this rocket rotting. SHAME ON YOU CHEAP AZZES!
