We knew this was going to catch on …
Here’s Clemson University’s All-American quarterback Tajh Boyd – who elected to return for his senior season in Tigertown – getting “four-bombed.”

Wait …
What’s a “four-bomb?” Right: It’s when a University of South Carolina fan tricks an unsuspecting Clemson player or coach into posing for a picture [...]
Tajh Boyd Got “Four-Bombed”
Marcus Lattimore: All Heart
There are a lot of formulaic stories out there about athletes overcoming adversity – stories in which intellectually lazy sportswriters reach for the old cliché about an athlete’s strongest muscle being “their heart.”
In Marcus Lattimore’s case, though, that cliché fits …
He is all heart.
We won’t bore our readers with a lengthy recapitulation of Lattimore’s legend, because [...]
Big Sweep For Gamecocks
Senior first baseman LB Dantzler hit a two-run homer and freshman left-hander Jack Wynkoop tossed eight innings of one-run ball to lead the fourteenth-ranked University of South Carolina baseball team to a 3-1 win over Kentucky Sunday – and a series sweep of the No. 17 Wildcats.
Dantzler’s blast – his twelfth of the season – [...]
Clemson “Paw” Painted On Gamecock Field
A Clemson University “Tiger Paw” was discovered this week on the field at Williams Brice stadium … home of the Tigers’ arch rivals, the University of South Carolina Gamecocks.
Unfortunately the artwork – much like Clemson’s performances against USC over the last four years – left a lot to be desired.
Take a look …

Yup [...]
Go Michael Roth!
Former University of South Carolina star Michael Roth did nothing but win during his career with the Gamecocks.
Ditto for the majors …
Roth, 23, threw a pair of hitless innings for the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday – picking up the win in his major league debut. The left-hander struck out four batters – and fifteen [...]
Jadeveon Clowney Is Human After All
Headlines across the country are already blaring the news: University of South Carolina superstar Jadeveon Clowney caught a 54-yard touchdown pass during the Gamecocks’ spring football game (in plain clothes, no less).
It’s the latest addition to his growing legend …
The reality, however, is that the 6-foot-6, 272-pound defensive lineman tripped and fell (awkwardly we might [...]
USC Students To Rally For “Campus Carry”
A group of University of South Carolina students is participating in a clever protest aimed at drawing attention to the school’s ongoing denial of their Second Amendment rights.
Members of the group “USC Students for Concealed Carry” will wear empty holsters around campus in an effort to show how licensed and trained gun owners are being [...]

COLUMBIA, S.C. (April 4, 2013) — University of South Carolina Football will host its annual weekend “Pigskin Pig-Out” coaching clinic April 5-6 at The Zone in Williams-Brice Stadium. The clinic is open to all coaches from any level of football interested in learning more about the game and interacting with Steve Spurrier, the winningest football [...]
Spurrier: Gamecocks Can’t Block
University of South Carolina head football coach Steve Spurrier is pleased with the performance of his offensive line during 2013 “Spractice” (a.k.a. spring practice).
Well, except for one thing … blocking.
“The offensive line has got to learn how to block,” Spurrier said after USC’s seventh spring practice. ” They’re pretty good at everything except blocking. Unfortunately [...]
Swept?
Heading into this weekend’s series against No. 17 Arkansas, the University of South Carolina’s fifth-ranked baseball team had tasted defeat just three times in 21 games.
In other words if there was going to be a sweep in this SEC series, most fans expected it would be the Gamecocks breaking out the brooms.
That’s not how things [...]
Dr. Evil To Speak
This website’s founding editor is loathed by the political establishment in South Carolina … especially one politician in particular.
But he’s adored by the next generation, as evidenced by a steady slew of speaking engagements on college campuses across the state. And unlike some people, Will Folks (a.k.a. Sic Willie) never accepts payment for his appearances [...]
