South Carolina Hires Grady Brown to Coach Cornerbacks
We're a bit late on this, but I'd like to say a few things about Grady Brown, newly hired cornerbacks coach at USC. Brown will also help with special teams. Carolina picks up Brown from Southern Miss., where Ellis Johnson retained him from the previous staff. That should tell you a little bit about...
South Carolina Promotes Lorenzo Ward to Defensive Coordinator
As Gwinnett and others have already mentioned, USC has promoted Lorenzo Ward to defensive coordinator. I'll have to admit that I have been one of those who would have liked to see us make a splashy hire, such as Mike Stoops or Ron Zook. However, in the end, I think promoting Ward is a good...
Reviewing the 2011 South Carolina Gamecocks
Nobody was really surprised when senior quarterback Stephen Garcia finally was kicked off the squad in October.

Why Fans of the Georgia Bulldogs Should be Worried About the South Carolina Gamecocks
Although it has been a busy day, there is surprisingly little to report.

Gamecock Man's Five Questions to Ponder Over Spring Practice
As many have heard, Coach Spurrier is relatively sanguine about this team's talent level and potential. Coach recognizes, however, that we've failed to meet expectations before. How can we avoid the same six-seven win result this year? For me, achievement in 2009 starts with finding answers to five...
Ray Rychleski to the Colts; Shane Beamer to Take Over Special Teams
In a long-awaited move, special teams coach Ray Rychleski has left South Carolina to take the same position with the Indianapolis Colts. While we can't blame Coach Ray for leaving for a position at a succesful NFL franchise under his old colleague and new Colts coach Jim Caldwell, his departure is...
