Good gracious did Alabama kick the fool out of Florida last night. With our struggles against physical teams, I hope we do not get embarrassed on CBS again. It will probably take a special teams touchdown for us to win and it could happen. Hey, I could walk outside and bump into a hippo or the Braves could hit in the postseason. All theoretically possible, but highly unlikely. I remind you: no punt returns for a TD since 2003 and no kickoff returns for a TD since 2002. Sad.
I am often amazed at the South Carolina fanbase's "sky is falling" attitude. However, it has been stronger than usual after the Auburn loss. Our good friend, Clayon McCathern, gave some good insight into this that is worth sharing. It is most likely due to the fact that we finally get to go the year with a clempsen victory under our belts and don't have to listen to any lip from their fans. The fact that they played so well and should have won added to our 2nd half collapse, equals losing to clemmons in our minds. At least some minds, that thankfully do not belong to us. The Auburn loss was one game. clempson lost too. It doesn't mean they will beat us this year. We still beat clemmons handily that last time we met. Keep your heads high Gamecock Nation!
