Look, a win without Marcus Lattimore is a win without Marcus Lattimore. No. 13 Gamecocks won 14-3 over the Tennessee Vols (sorry Wally).
And in other SC college football news, the Clemson Tiger lost. What more can a Carolina fan ask for? Damn it feels good to be a Gamecock…
I’m not going to lie, as a University of South Carolina alum and a die hard fan of Gamecocks athletics, I thought Stephen Garcia, despite his off the field shortcomings, would come into the 2011 season and lead our football squad to a historic season.
Off the field this guy has been a fuxing douche, but statistically, coming into this season Stephen Garcia had a chance a pass Steve Taneyhill and become the Gamecocks all-time leader in pass completions, passing touchdowns and passing yards.
As crazy as it sounds, if Stephen Garica, a 5th year senior, would have played this season as solidly as he did last year, he would have ended his collegiate career as the best quarterback in Gamecocks history.
Unfortunately, the Garcia era at the University of South Carolina is over and ends just as rocky as it started. According to reports, Stephen Garcia has been dismissed from the 15th ranked SC football team after testing positive for marijuana and alcohol.
Behind our new quarterback Connor Shaw and his four touchdowns, the S. Carolina Gamecocks are now 5-1. Yeah, I know I only post the score when win but so what.
The Gamecocks pulled off a close one in a 45-42 win over the Georgia Bulldogs. Marcus Lattimore is a beast (but we knew that). Jadeveon Clowney is the truth (we figured that) and Stephen Garcia will do (yeah, he’s still there).
That was a good game though. And coming from a guy that watched the game in Atlanta, it’s hard being a Gamecock in a room full of Georgians…
Up Next: Saturday, Sept. 17th vs. Navy at 6:00 pm.
And just like that the 2011 NFL season is underway (no lockout). If I said I wasn’t excited about this football season I’d be a muthaeffin’ liar but since I had my fantasy football draft about a week ago and I took Peyton Manning as my quarterback thinking he’d be back from neck surgery soon, with news coming out that Manning had another neck surgery on Thursday and thus will be out for at least 3 months, I’m fuxing sick right now.
But still I’m going to try and enjoy this season as much as possible. Panthers and Falcons all day (although I have no faith in either of those teams making it to the Super Bowl).
I’m going Pittsburgh Steelers over Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl this year folks.
Tonight’s Packers vs. Saints season opener was a great one too (even though I fell asleep in the 4th quarter…I gotta get my life together).
Hope yall ready for some football…
National Football League fans can breathe a sigh on relief…after four and a half months, the NFL lockout is officially over. Yes, ladies and gents, the NFL and it’s players have reached a new a collective-bargaining agreement and the 2011 NFL football season will begin as scheduled.
Here are the basics:
-”All revenue system” resolves issue of how to split NFL’s $9 million take
-Salary cap set at about $120M plus $22M in performance-based benefits
-Teams will begin signing rookies, opening facilities and camps this week
-Other issues including rookie compensation, practice, ex-player benefits resolved
In laymen’s terms….football is back. #ThankYouBasedGod.
The 2011 NFL season begins on Thursday September 8th with the Saints at the Packers. Excuse me while I get my fantasy football team ready…
September 3rd. Get ready.
I’m kinda mad they ain’t cut this dude’s braids yet, but when you rush for 1,197 yards in your freshmen season, I guess you get a pass.
Devin Taylor’s clip is after the jump.
The season starts on September 3rd.
