Butch Davis Fired: What it Means for South Carolina | Football
Good piece from LOHD on the significance of this turn of events to the Gamecocks. In short, it's good for us. Of course, it's good for everybody that this cheater is gone.

Wiedmer: Spurrier hasn't lost his dagger for Big Orange | timesfreepress.com
You never know what Steve Spurrier will say next. The featured speaker at the Chattanooga Sports and Events Committee's fundraising dinner Saturday night at the Chattanoogan, the South Carolina football coach actually had a few kind words for former Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer.
2011 Season Preview: Talkative Ball Coaches And The South Carolina Gamecocks - SBNation.com
Great SBN preview. Here's a money quote:
I'm not saying South Carolina should be considered the far-and-away favorite for the SEC East, not with their schedule. But they absolutely have the best combination of talent and worthwhile experience in the division. And I would be willing to say that if this exact team were wearing Florida Gator helmets this fall, they would be considered national title contenders. But stigma dies hard, and even though South Carolina took a giant step forward last season with their first East title, they probably still have quite a bit to prove.
One of the more bizarre bits of recruiting news in some time.

Most of the college sports fans who read Michael Rosenberg's humble suggestion to the NCAA probably had a similar gut reaction. How could you? What about amateurism? What about the purity of college sports?

a comment from Kyle on another post:
It never ceases to amaze me how much more classy and dignified Steve Spurrier seems when compared to every Gator coach who has come after him.
maybe I am wrong about UGA fans, maybe they are a whole lot more rational than I like to acknowledge.

After reading the Dawgsports preview and most of their comments:
It also annoys me that UGA fans are so quick to point out ticky tacky things. Like “hahaha you guys lost to Kentucky, that means you’re bad”.
This bothers me for a couple of reasons, Kentucky beat UGA a couple times during our win streak vs the Cats. Also, USC isn’t the only team to drop a game to Vanderbilt. UGA had that honor as well a few years ago. Hey UGA, your SEC East little brothers are catching up to you, and I don’t just mean Carolina.
Furthermore, UGA fans may forget, but I sure don’t, UK took the National Champs to overtime and almost won. Yeah we should have adjusted our game plan and found a way to win that game. But UGA fans don’t seem to give anyone else credit.
Gamecock Man, loved your reminder that we went 4-1 in the division.

UGA fans are essentially trying to rationalize what they thought was inconceivable. I still recall that after we beat them last year, many of them were saying "well, they still won't win the division this year, and they never will."
Well, it happened. Carolina made it to Atlanta. Now UGA fans are trying to figure out why, and some of the arguments are pretty shaky. Unfortunately, a lot of people find it a lot easier to stay in line with the narrative about Carolina’s historical futility as opposed to accepting the fact that we currently have a good team.
I also think it’s worth pointing out to any UGA fan that says that we lost to Kentucky that UGA will not be facing the Lattimore-less team that blew the second-half lead against the ’Cats. We were a different team last year without Lattimore, but with him we were very good. UGA will see us with him, and with him very fresh, at that.

That said, I thought Kyle's preview was great. Very fair and objective.

Completely agree here.
My comment was more of a reaction to the comments on his post. Almost repeated what you said, but yes, Kyle’s review was very fair.
Like one UGA fan said, I am really looking forward to this game. It should be a good game, and hopefully USC comes out on top.
