Carolina Football
Steve Spurrier Press Conference Quotes - SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS
The thing to take away here is that Spurrier has asked Shane Beamer, who had been coaching defensive backs in addition to special teams, to focus solely on special teams. This is a good move by Spurrier. Special teams was clearly a weakness this year, and overextending Beamer may have been part of the problem. Spurrier also says he will attempt to get more of our better players on special teams, which should also help. All in all, these comments suggest that Spurrier sees special teams as a liability and is going to devote off-season energy to solving our problems. That's good to know.
Another brutal schedule for Carolina this year, with only one true cupcake.
DiMarco To Play in East-West Shrine Game - SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS
I hope somebody in the NFL gives Patrick DiMarco a look, as he could be a very good FB. His only problem that I can see is that he goes down like a house of cards when he takes a hit subsequent to a catch, which has always surprised me considering how he's such a rough-and-tumble type of player.

Bennett to Transfer - College Football - Rivals.com
Not surprising, but a little bit of a shame. I was wondering if he would compete for more PT this coming year.
Gamecocks Welcome Four Newcomers - SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS

The quartet includes junior college transfer Kaleb Broome, prep school transfers Kelcy Quarles and Brison Williams and true freshman Martay Mattox.

Auburn Tigers' Nick Fairley to enter NFL draft - ESPN
Cameron Newton: NFL Bound - College Football - Rivals.com
No surprises with either Fairley or Newton, but good news nonetheless. I can't wait for Auburn to come to town next year.
Kentucky Football: Randall Cobb To Enter NFL Draft - A Sea Of Blue
Another bit of good news, as the blue crew are going to get theirs next year, too.

I don't know. I seem to remember that...
Spurrier said he was excited about it when they announced it a few months back because he thought it would give us good publicity in the talent-rich Charlotte area.

We can get the College Football Belt back if Auburn holds it 'til week five ...
… or if Mississippi State takes it in week two, and holds it ’til we play them in week seven.
There are other ways, but far less likely, or more complicated:
For instance, Clemson could take it in week three, and then we take it from them at the end of the season. It may some how work its way back to an SEC team we play before the last week, but I don’t know Clemson’s schedule.
Or, Mississippi State could take it from Auburn in week two, Georgia take it from Miss. State in week five, Tennessee take it from Georgia in week six, and we take it from Tenn. in week nine.
I want it back!!
stuff 'bout stuff.
