Field of Dreams- The one thing that bugged me about FOD is Shoeless Joe batting righty.

Was listening to my Locked on Chiefs podcast, & it was a joint show w/ Locked on Vols host. They were discussing Chiefs rookie G Trey Smith, who fell to the 6th round b/c of a history w/ blood clots at TN. During the discussion the Vols podcast host said that Smith had overcome a lot, including less than quality coaching while a Vol. He then said “…due in part to Will Friend”.
Sounds like we dodged a bullet when he left for Auburn. FWIW.

the weekend is the best time for the vibe......go dancing

It was a shorter time than normal today and the Gamecocks didn't do any team drill work, but here are a few observations from today's open practice:

--For starters, Kevin Harris and what looked like Rico Powers weren't in the contact portion of practice. Harris was off to the side doing some rehab work in some cone drills. Joey Hunter and Jahmar Brown were both in blue non-contact jerseys but were participating in practice. Cam Smith, who had been in a cast and riding around on a scooter, was in a boot today and was walking on his own without any other impediments outside of the boot.

--From Michael Sauls: In individual work, Luke Doty continued to work with presumed starter Eric Douglas. Colten Gauthier was working with Hank Manos, Connor Jordan with Vincent Murphy and Jason Brown with Colin Heinrich.

--Also from Sauls: A scout with the Dallas Cowboys was at practice, hovering around the interior defensive linemen for the open part of practice.

--At the end of the open portion the offense did goal line drills where the quarterback had to throw over defenders (in this case graduate assistants) to receivers or have the receivers run a pivot route either to the middle of the field or the boundary and have the quarterback hit them on the run. Doty was taking the first reps in the drill, followed by Gauthier and then Jordan and Brown after that. Gauthier was by far and away the best quarterback during that drill (albeit a limited sample size) but had some really good passes and hit a few guys where he needed to while rolling out. Doty missed a few throws high to the tight ends (he completed one to EJ Jenkins, who made a good catch) and Brown had a few completions as well, but Gauthier was really impressive.

--From a receiver perspective, Xavier Legette ran a really nice route coming back toward the middle, creating separation from the cornerback (in this case Justin Stepp) and making a catch falling into the end zone. Josh Vann also had a great route, showcasing some really nice footwork when he ran his route, turning out quickly and making a grab where he had to go up and get the ball a little bit before bringing it down. OrTre Smith had another good rep from a receiver perspective and made a catch in the end zone as well.

--EJ Jenkins looks impressive from a size perspective and it's easy to see why he and the staff think he could be a mismatch this season and want to use him at tight end and receiver. During the seam route drill where the quarterback had to fit it in between the back of the end zone and a graduate assistant, Doty's throw to him was a little high but he went up and got it and came down in bounds for a touchdown.

From Wes Mitchell:

-- If Ahmarean Brown was practicing during the other open practices, I didn't notice him, but I did see Brown for the first time out there today. He was in a garnet jersey but not in pads, meaning he is probably going through the acclimation period for players returning to practice. He was able to work through some drills but obviously not anything with contact. Brown is on the small side but definitely has quickness and separation ability.

-- As mentioned by Collyn, a large part of the work we saw was goal line passes against air, but with an interesting twist. The staff had coaches and staffers strategically placed where a defender would be in certain coverages, forcing the receiver to operate in those tight areas and the quarterbacks to throw into those tight windows. For example, on a seam route to the back of the end zone, the quarterbacks had to drop the ball into the tight ends over the top of someone holding a pole up to simulate a leaping defender.

-- A large part of the portion of practice that we saw was dedicated to special teams. It goes without saying that Pete Lembo is extremely detail-oriented. I would best describe it as organized chaos in that there's a ton going on with many different stations but it's all well-planned out with each drill serving a unique fundamental purpose.

Beamer to address after scrimmage

This was a pretty good watch. I remember watching that game live and just being in shock. Jermaine O'Neal is interviewed extensively and represents himself well. Ron Artest? 😳 Just WOW.
Only an hour and 9 minutes long 2 thumbs up!

I don’t mean to rile anyone up, but I’ve heard there is a rumor Doty broke his foot. Again this is just a rumor, hoping it’s not true. Has anyone else heard this??

Season pass for sale. $290. Green row 4. Next to an island with a tree. Easy in and very easy out!

Before I begin I don’t care which QB wins the the competition, I just want whoever will win us football games. I did however think of a very interesting theory.
Lincoln Riley named transfer Kyler Murray starting QB on august 19th over a four star redshirt freshman. The next year he named redshirt senior transfer Jalen Hurts starting QB on august 22nd over a four star QB and five star freshman Spencer Rattler. To further the point Riley named Mayfield the starter in 2015 just 12 days before the first game as well. Our practice schedule is set up where we have a scrimmage in Williams Brice Saturday August 21st..with no media availability until after the next practice which is August 24th..which is 12 days before we play Eastern Illinois and in that press conference Jason Brown is gonna be named the starter.

We're building a house and my oldest son is doing his room in a Gamecock theme. He's doing a garnet wall, other walls white, Gamecock lamp, Buffalo plaid garnet, white, and black bedding, etc. We have a Lattimore jersey framed in a shadowbox and we were thinking of a baseball jersey as well. There are a few on Facebook marketplace and eBay, but was hoping maybe someone on here had a white or pinstripe jersey with interlocking SC, or grey with CAROLINA across the front that's just collecting dust. Size doesn't matter, but needs to be an adult model. Trying to stay $50 or less, plus shipping. I can Venmo or send a check or something. In the Charleston area and could do cash and porch pickup if you're local.

Odd choice IMO. Not because she’s a woman, but her resume doesn’t scream SEC. At least she has more experience than when we hired King Dixon.
