The 2012-13 college basketball season is winding down … mercifully, if you’re a fan of the Palmetto State’s two most widely followed men’s hoops programs.
The University of South Carolina and Clemson University both suffered through disastrous seasons – finishing with a combined record of 27-34. For the Gamecocks, this substandard performance was expected. It’s new [...]

Harvey Peeler Flip Flops?
Because our state’s higher educrats have nothing better to do with our time (and money) than inventing cute ways to suck up to state lawmakers, here’s University of South Carolina president Harris Pastides presenting State Senate Majority Leader Harvey Peeler with a framed, autograph photo from the school’s mascot, “Cocky.”
The photo of Peeler and “Cocky” [...]

Raping Us All
We’ve never understood men who get off via forced intercourse …
Sure rape fantasies (with willing partners) are fun, but seriously … where’s the turn-on in having sex with someone who doesn’t want to have sex with you?
Anyway, we’ve never been bra-burners here at FITS (we’re on the other side of the No. 1 “women’s issue,” [...]
Gamecocks Upset Ole Miss
There hasn’t been much to cheer about in Frank Martin’s debut season as the University of South Carolina head men’s basketball coach. After a decent start against a weak non-conference slate, the wheels came off when Southeastern Conference opponents came calling.
That’s pretty sad when you consider the SEC (with the notable exception of Florida) isn’t [...]
Rehab Watch: Marcus Lattimore Is Killing It
Former University of South Carolina superstar Marcus Lattimore is in the midst of yet another improbable comeback – one which could end him taking snaps in the National Football League this season.
After coming back from a season-ending injury to his left knee in 2011, Lattimore suffered a much more serious, career-threatening knee injury to his right [...]

USC Is (Gay) Hiring!
In news that’s likely to cause more than a few conniption fits among the S.C. General Assembly’s social conservative (a.k.a. Bible-thumping) contingent, the University of South Carolina has a new job opening for a LGBT program coordinator.
Wait … what’s that?
Glad you asked …

Yippee! It’s USC Day!
Let’s celebrate the University of South Carolina, people … which is receiving a whopping $944 million in the current budget (and that’s just for its Columbia, S.C. campus).
How does USC spend that money? Well, let’s start with the $125,000 raise it recently gave its president, Harris Pastides. Or the big bucks its law school doled [...]
SC’s Useless Government-Funded “Tax Calculator”
The University of South Carolina’s Darla Moore School of Business unveiled a new government-funded “tax calculator” last week to assist members of the S.C. General Assembly as they contemplate changes to the state’s tax code.
At a poorly attended event on the USC campus, the school’s higher educrats rolled out the so-called “South Carolina Tax Model” [...]
Bill Bowers’ “Other Job”
In case you’re new to this website, pretty much every day we break a story about yet another member of the S.C. General Assembly padding their own bank account at the expense of Palmetto State taxpayers.
Yesterday it was powerful S.C. Senate Finance Chairman Hugh Leatherman (RINO-Florence) raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars for a [...]
