The numbers for the new Gamecocks are below. How long until the idiot know it all sitting next to you argues till he's blue in the face that Clowney is in at running back. Doesn't matter that it is a 5'8" buzz cut fella. Nope, it's Clowney. You politely suggest that Clowney is 6'7" and has dreadlocks, but nothing. He knows football. Kind of like Garcia and Gilmore both wearing #5 you offer. He doesn't care. It's Clowney and you are an idiot for questioning a genius like him. They are all over. Don't be that guy.

Prospect update: Tramel Terry
From: Austin
Tramel Terry led his Goose Creek Gators into Columbia last Friday to battle the traditional Midlands powerhouse, the Irmo Yellow Jackets. We arrived a bit late, but that is not unusual as we had no dog in the fight. Unfortunately, Goose Creek was up 44-7 at the point in the 2nd quarter when we took our seat. Terry did not see the field again. All we saw was him scampering for a touchdown on the local news highlights. He did put on a show however. The Junior WR caught a 60 TD on a post pattern, took a 50 yard end around into the endzone, and scored again on a 30 yard run from tailback. Not too bad for half a night's work. Terry is the real deal.

Rule Change: Celebration Rule for College Football 2011
From: Cole
In quite possibly to dumbest move all year, the NCAA will now allow points to be taken off of the board due to excessive celebration. Starting this season, the penalty is now a spot foul and so, if the receiver begins to celebrate at the 5----BOOM, no points for you. The problem here is the same as always. There is no consistency in enforcement. Some crews let it slide and some throw the flag for nothing, just ask A.J. Green. Anyone remember Zola Davis getting the call because he dropped to a knee to pray in the endzone? This gives the officials the chance to directly effect the outcomes, and that is bad for college football. Will they be scared to throw the flag late in games as we see in basketball? The moment points are removed and the winner is switched, the calls of a fix will be flying in. These are kids playing a game. Let them play, and put the excessive back in excessive celebration.

South Carolina High School State Champion Predictions
From: Benjamin
Unlike preseason predictions, we actually like to watch some games before making a claim. Thus, after the first full week of high school action, here are our likely State Champions:
AAAA Big 16. Gaffney. Yes, a lot of Clarys played for Gaffney, but there is no bias here. I never lived there. The Indians destroyed Dorman 35-14 last Friday, and it wasn't that close. Nobody does that. Gaffney is the stongest AAAA team right now and we'd take em straight up over Byrnes. Look out for Goose Creek. Low Country teams don't get a lot of love or respect, but the Gators are huge and fast. Both good things on the football field. With Lexington carrying the Midlands, the Big 16 is not the upstate lock it has been for so long.
AAAA Division 2: Byrnes. Don't need to say much more
AAA: The most difficult to pick. Tough to go against South Pointe, but we are taking Myrtle Beach
AA: Dillon should march undefeated through the entire season
A: The greatest Gamecock, Steve Taneyhill, will get his umpteenth state title at Chesterfield. No idea of Division 2 class A.

South Carolina Kick Returner
From: Austin
The safety position was, how shall we say it, a struggle for the Gamecock defense in 2010. Both major starters have changed positions, Holloman to Spur and Auguste back to cornerback. DJ Swearinger is the only returner with any significant reps. Jimmy Legree was buried down the depth chart at cornerback. Corey Addison saw limited action, giving up a late TD pass against Southern Miss. Sharod Golightly was redshirted, while Sheldon Royster, and Kadetrix Marcus played on Friday nights. Brison Williams is on the shelf for at least 8 weeks. Seeing this, the news of DJ Swearinger injuring his hamstring is unsettling, no matter how minor. His loss would be devastating with a pass happy East Carolina awaiting. This brings the question: Should Bruce Ellington be the kick returner to decrease Swearinger's injury chances? Yes, most educated folks say you have to play to win. But, is DJ that much better than the others? If not, would it make more sense to hold him back for defense only because he is going to need all of his energy for the 60 plus passes the Pirates are expected to unleash.
Spartanburg at Union County
From: Elliott
The Spartanburg Vikings travel tonight to Union County to open the 2011 season. Coach Freddie Brown's squad will look to improve upon last season's 5-7 mark by opening with road victory. Last season, it took a late goal-ine stand for the Vikings to hold on for a 27-19 win. L.A. Kollock returns at QB to lead the offensive attack and should provide a bevy of highlights for the local newscast. Big time D1 prospect, Justin Bridges-Thompson, will lead the defense from his linebacker spot. The game can be heard on 910 am. Yes Hank Jr, we are ready for some football!

Shaq Roland Junior Football Highlight Video
From: Benjamin
South Carolina stretched its total to 4 years in a row at nabbing the state's top propsect last month when Lexington's Shaq Roland gave his pledge to the Gamecocks. Roland's Lexington Wildcats are currently ranked #2 in 4A by SCVarsity.com. He joins Jadeveon Clowney, Marcus Lattimore, and Stephon Gilmore as the 4 consecutive #1 in-state prospects to declare for South Carolina. Roland is an incredible athlete, as demonstrated by his highlight film from athlete vault.

Who signed with MLB from the SEC
From: Everyone
Those of you who stayed up for the final hours of the MLB signing period were treated to "NFL Free Agency on steroids." Talk radio was flooded with talk about how exciting the NFL signing period would be due to the lost days from the lockout. Well, cram all that into one day, half a day really. You watched this via twitter. Follow Kendall Rogers from perfectgame, Jonathon Mayo from MLB.com, Aaron Fitt, Jim Callis, and John Manuel from Baseball America and you saw the announcements instantaneously. Who was signing, for what figure, and who was returning to school. Boom, boom, boom the signings came. With 25 minutes left until the deadline, 21 first round picks were unsigned. The twitter feed erupted like firecrackers on the 4th of July. Frenetic is the only word to describe it. The SEC list is completed and can be seen here:

Justin Smoak to the Disabled List
From: Austin
Prayers for a speedy recovery to former Gamecock 1st bagger Justin Smoak. The Seattle Mariner fractured his nose and has a hairline fracture of his left maxilla [that's the cheekbone for you non-medical people] on a hard smashed ball by Boston's Jarrod Saltalamacchia in the second inning of Friday's game. The main risk is that a maxillary fracture could lead to future vision issues by altering the way the eye moves. This risk is very low with a hairline fracture. Smoak saw another physician for a second opinion Saturday and is not expected to begin even playing catch for at least 5 days. Will the Mariners break out the Rip Hamilton face shield? As poorly as they are doing, expect the team to keep their prized player on the sideline as long as needed.

Gamecock kicker Jay Wooten on Scholarship
From: Benjamin
Jadeveon Clowney and gang have given the Gamecock fans a rosey outlook for the 2011 season. One thing that most are overlooking is the changes in the kicking game. Not only has dependable placekicker Spencer Lanning moved on, but long snapper C.D. Turner must be replaced. Former Hammond Skyhawk Walker Inabinet steps into the long snapping role. While undersized in both the height and weight department, Inabinet proved to be a reliable option when filling in for the injured Turner against Troy last season. The Gamecocks are on a good run of quality kickers. Mr. Irrelevant Ryan Succop was a game changer and the Kansas City Chiefs rookie of the year in 2010. Spencer Lanning did everything and did it well. We all remember in kicking struggles under the Holtz regime, and thus it is reassuring to hear that new kicker, Jay Wooten, was placed on scholarship this week. Wooten, a transfer from UNC, handled the kickoff duties last season. He has shown great accuracy thus far in practice and should provide the Gamecocks with a steady presence in the kicking game. Holder Seth Strickland is the only holdover off of last year's group.

Prospect Update #2
From: Benjamin
For those of us who grunted when Atlanta traded Javier Vasquez to New York, a little crow must be eaten. In that trade, Arodys Vizcaino was the prize. Vizcaino blew through the minors this season, beginning the year in High A Lynchburg before moving to Mississippi. The stats were so good that a promotion to AAA Gwinnett brought a transition to reliever with the intentions of a big league call up to aid in the playoff run. That call came Tuesday. From High A ball to the big show in one season, not too shabby. To make room, the Braves released Scott Proctor and his 6.44 era.
Congratulations to James Darnell on recording his first big league hit today in New York!

Atlanta Braves Prospects Update
From: Elliott
South Carolina fans thank the Braves for inking Vanderbilt closer Navory Moore to a contract yesterday. Moore is a flame throwing right hander who is unhittable at times. Prize prospect Randall Delgado got promoted to AAA Gwinnett last week and responded with a win, 9 Ks, and only 3 hits allowed in his 6 inning outing. 2011 1st round draft pick, Sean Gilmartin, debuted for the GCL Braves and went two innings. The two runs he gave up are half as much as everyone's favorite Brave, Kenshin Kawakami, gave up in one inning of work. SS Tyler Pastornicky continues to pound AAA pitching since his call up, raising his average to .390 while hitting safely in every game this past week. On the flip side, we gave a collective hmm when Nick Ahmed was selected in the 2nd round this year. After starting off ok, Ahmed's is Mr. Freeze cold right now, hitting .077 last week and seeing his average drop to .236.

Former Gamecock James Darnell will make Major League debut
From: Austin
Former South Carolina third bagger, James Darnell, will make his MLB debut tonight for the San Diego Padres in New York against the Mets. Darnell was called up when Padres' third basemen, Chase Headley, fractured a finger last weekend. He arrived in New York at 6 am Monday, but his luggage got lost along the way. Seeing this, manager Bud Black gave Darnell the night off, and he is expected to make his debut tonight. In another blessing, he will not have to face Mets' knuckleballer R.A. Dickey until his second game. "Congrats on getting called up, and oh by the way, you get to face a knuckleballer." That would be challenging. Chris Capuano will take the hill for the Mets tonight. He is 9-10 on the year with a 4.44 era.
Darnell was hitting .317 with 23 home runs and 75 RBIs between Double-A San Antonio and Triple-A Tucson. He is expected to play some left field for the Padres as well. After the completion of the series in New York, the Padres travel to the home run friendly Great American Ballpark to face the Reds. 1st bomb?

South Carolina and Vanderbilt to open 2012 season
From: Benjamin
With the news the the Gamecocks will possibly open the 2012 season on ESPN's Thursday night kickoff at Vanderbilt, the pack of "woe is me" Gamecock fans have come forth from hibernation. Radio stations are flooded with calls detailing the poor record of Thursday night road teams. Why open with a conference game on the road? It is an eastern division rival, they say! Well whoopdedo. It is Vanderbilt. Yes, they have played you tough recently. Yes, they may be better under Coach Franklin. It is still Vanderbilt. The Thursday night game to open the season gets you in front of every college football fan who has been salivating for any game, not to mention all the voters. What a excellent opportunity to drive home your position as a 2012 team to reckon with by drubbing Vandy on national TV. Remember Gamecock fans, you did beat NC State in Raleigh a few years back to open the year. It can be done. The national exposure the program has received from opening the year in the season's first game so many times recently cannot be understated. Take the game, and go whip em. Fill the other half of the "glass is half empty' Gamecock contingent.

Atlanta Braves Prospect Update
From: Austin
The Braves carry an elite farm system, ranking in the top three in the Baseball America rankings. The prize of the organization, 20 year old righty Julio Teheran, is blowing up AAA ball. Teheran sports a 12-1 record with a 1.90 era, 99 Ks and only 32 walks. Not too shabby. Arodys Vizcaino, acquired from the Yankees in the Javier Vasquez deal, was promoted to AAA and has a 2.25 era in 4 starts. A .303 batting average got the top catching prospect, 19 year old Christian Bethancout, promoted to high A Lynchburg. The system is loaded with shortstop prospects, and no one is having a better 2011 than Tyler Pastornicky. The 21 year old, who was acquired from the Blue Jays in the Yunel Escobar deal, has enjoyed his promotion to AAA. In his 12 games for Gwinnett, Pastornicky is stroking the ball with a .423 average in 51 at bats.
In a Rookie League update, second round pick Nick Ahmed, is hitting .263 in 33 games for Danville. Ahmed, a SS out of UCONN, was the second round selection. 3rd round pick, Kyle Kubitza, a 3B from Texas State, is hitting .290 in 30 games. Mark Lamm, the 6th round pick from Vanderbilt, had a 0.00 era in 2 appearances for Danville. This earned him a promotion to High A Lynchburg where he is 1-0 with a 1.53 era in 5 games.

South Carolina Virginia Game Winning Play
From: Matthew
For the Back to Back National Championship reminder of the week we have Robert Beary's bunt to beat the Virginia Cavaliers and advance to the championship round of the College World Series. It is embarrassing to note that yes, I did get angry in the top of the inning when we blew two infield defensive assignments and I went to sleep. Quite a surprise awaited me the next morning when my phone had 14 new text messages of folks ribbing me for calling it a night. Great win!
