Sorry to be late, but the weekend open mic feature begins with a look at the first three opponents for South Carolina.

The Gamecocks open with a Thursday night game at home against North Carolina State. A week later, they travel to Vanderbilt to take on the Dores. Then, on Saturday, Sept. 13, they go to Athens to face the spelling-challenged Dawgs. How well will the Gamecocks do?

As always, comments are particularly welcome.
